Growth is a process, but growing up often only takes a moment.

Growing up is not about understanding a truth in an instant.

We already knew the truth.

The moment you grow up is the moment you have to shoulder certain responsibilities.

Just like Wang Xinnan.

Before her father passed away, didn't she know that she should work hard, respect her parents, and share the burden of the family?

she knows.

Wang Xinning also knows it now.

But they all chose to escape.

Because there were people in front of them sheltering them from the wind and rain, they also had a chance to escape.

But after the king's father died.

There was no one to protect Wang Xinnan from the wind and rain anymore, and she had no chance to escape.

She had to bear the burden of the family.

Only then did she truly grow up.

And what about Wang Xinning?

She still has her sister Wang Xinnan by her side, so she can continue to escape.

But now...

Wang Xinnan exposed himself, which also meant he exposed Wang Xinning's "protective umbrella".

Let Wang Xinning stand naked in front of the wind and rain, forcing her to... grow up.

"Ningning, I'm really tired, very tired."

Wang Xinnan wiped away her tears and continued:

"Do you know what kind of mentality I had when I went to the bar?"

"I want to cure Mom, or... send her away."

"Then I will find a quiet place and die peacefully."

Wang Xinning's heart skipped a beat when she heard this: "Sister..."

Wang Xinnan waved his hand, signaling her not to speak and to listen to him continue:

"Until I met Yang Zheng, who brought me to Zhengrong Media and made me a live broadcaster."

"I can now live a decent and comfortable life, with an income of two to three million yuan a month, all thanks to him."

"He may not be a good person, but I have no right to say he is bad."

"So he hinted to me that he had taken a fancy to you, and I took the initiative to say that I would come and persuade you."

"But I won't force you. The final decision is in your hands."

That’s all.

He also said he wouldn't force me.

Wang Xinnan felt more and more that he was really... despicable.

Wang Xinning fell silent again.

For a long time.

She pursed her dry lips and asked, "What will he do if I don't agree?"

Wang Xinnan felt a tightness in his heart when he heard this.

She thought for a moment and said, "The lightest consequence would be to sever ties with me, let me leave Zhengrong Media, and return to my previous life."

Wang Xinning took a deep breath, paused for a moment and said:

"Sister, you are already very famous in the field of maternal and infant products. You can continue to be a host even if you change companies. You may even earn more."

Apparently, she still... refused to give in.

But this is normal.

At the age of 20, she has a goddess-like appearance and is studying at one of the most prestigious universities in China.

The future can be said to be bright.

How could someone with such conditions easily agree to be someone else's lover?

Wang Xinnan glanced at her and shook his head secretly:

This girl is indeed naive...

She sighed and said, "Don't you know there's a contract called a non-compete agreement?"

This is an obvious restriction.

It is possible to let her return to her original life trajectory in a reasonable, legal and compliant manner.

And those other methods...that are inconvenient to talk about?

She was not naive enough to think that Yang Zheng had no other means to build Zhengrong Media to its current level.

But she didn't say that.

It was still the same reason: she didn't want Wang Xinning to think too badly of Yang Zheng and be too resistant.

After hearing her words, Wang Xinning was slightly stunned, and after a while said:

"The non-compete agreement only stipulates that you can't work in the live streaming industry, right? There's no need to go... to the bar again."

She paused and continued, "At worst, I can just quit school and go to work! If we sisters work together, we can always earn enough money to treat Mom's illness!"

Wang Xinnan looked at her with complicated eyes: "You... still want to play dumb?"

"I……"

Wang Xinning opened her mouth and said a word.

But under Wang Xinnan's gaze, he closed his mouth dejectedly.

She is already a sophomore this year.

Although still a little naive.

But she is not really a little girl who knows nothing.

If you could make money by working, the world would have been full of rich people long ago.

So, subconsciously, she still wanted to escape.

Wang Xinnan paused and said, "Forget it. I said I won't force you. Since you don't want to, forget it."

Wang Xinning was delighted when she heard that.

But before she was really happy.

Wang Xinnan's voice continued to ring out: "At worst, I can continue to work as a hostess in the bar, and then... find a place to die in peace."

After saying that, she stood up and was about to leave.

"sister!"

Wang Xinning quickly reached out to stop her.

She bit her lips tightly, clenched her fists, and her face was full of struggle.

After thinking for a while, Wang Xinnan said:

"Actually, you don't have to take this too seriously."

"Aside from being a bit of a playboy, Yang Zheng is a good guy in every other aspect."

"His looks and figure are beyond words. He's the most handsome boy in your school."

"And his personality is pretty good, too. As you saw just now, he was even willing to make breakfast for me himself."

"There's no need to elaborate on other material conditions."

"You can think of it as a relationship where you were just unlucky and met a scumbag."

"Anyway, if you really go out and date on your own, it's hard to find someone you can marry and spend your life with."

These words made Wang Xinning a little confused.

It’s not because of misunderstanding or disagreement.

Rather, it was because she felt like the door to a new world had been opened to her.

Putting aside reality... No, putting aside those complicated factors.

If you just look at Yang Zheng as a person, he is indeed... an ideal boyfriend.

Tall and handsome, young and rich, mature and steady.

This is even her ideal type.

So when I met Yang Zheng in the school library that day.

She had clearly heard the gossip about Yang Zheng's "two flowers competing for grass".

But he still believed Yang Zheng's lies that he didn't have a girlfriend.

Because she... was willing to believe.

But Liu Mingyue directly punctured her little fantasy and told her that Yang Zheng had no less than ten lovers...

She just "woke up".

But now, Wang Xinnan wants her to be "confused" again.

"I, I promise!"

After saying this, Wang Xinning buried her head in her chest.

I feel a little relieved.

I also feel a little aggrieved and uncomfortable.

And then there was a little inexplicable...slight joy.

Many girls have their fantasy Prince Charming.

Yang Zheng undoubtedly fits the image of a "Prince Charming", apart from his philandering nature.

When Wang Xinnan heard that she finally agreed, he felt relieved, but at the same time, he felt a pang of pain as if he was pricked by a needle.

Seeing Wang Xinning lowering her head, she thought she was sad, so she reached out and hugged her in her arms, gently stroking her back and said softly:

"Ningning, don't blame me, I..."

"Sister, I don't blame you."

Wang Xinning interrupted her and said in a low voice: "I am sorry for making you work so hard these past few years."

Listen to her comfort herself in return.

Wang Xinnan felt even more uncomfortable.

She choked up and said, "I'm sorry..."

If it were only the helpless reasons she mentioned.

Maybe she wouldn't feel so guilty.

However, she still has her own selfish motives...
