In the president's office of the Le Group, Le Mengyao's almond-shaped eyes widened with anger as she gritted her teeth and said, "Did he really say that about me? That I'm a woman who only knows how to play petty tricks?"

Le Xin'er pouted and said irritably, "He said most women are like that, and I guess he included me in that too. That guy is just so annoying, it makes you want to grind your teeth!"

"Then why are you still with him? Why don't you just dump him and stop bothering with him?!"

Le Xin'er spread her hands and said with a grin, "You want me to not be with him? Then pick someone better for me! Oh no, I don't need anyone better, just someone similar to him will do!"

"Kai, Wei, Siqi, Siyuan, there are plenty of men to choose from!"

Le Xin'er pouted again and said irritably, "Sister, what kind of people have you been introducing me to? As for A-Kai, well, he's a playboy. You should know what kind of woman he's with."

Both of them in the Luo family are incredibly stingy. They never think about making any effort; they only want to bring women home to be used as decorative objects. Before I was with Xiaofeng, I had no intention of choosing them, let alone now.

Awei is a decent guy, but he's fine as a business partner. If you were to become his woman, he'd be a nightmare.

He wished he could wrap women in headscarves and keep them at home, like women in ancient times, never leaving their homes and never going out for their entire lives.

Besides, Xiaofeng started from scratch and built such a large business all by himself, while Awei took over the business from his family. They are not comparable.

Aside from being a bit of a womanizer, Xiaofeng is otherwise a good man. He can even help his woman build her career outside the home. How many men have this ability and are willing to do this?

As for the issue of infidelity, what man isn't? A man who isn't unfaithful isn't necessarily upright, but rather simply lacks the capacity to be unfaithful!

Le Mengyao smiled and said, "I thought you were young and naive, and that you were fooled by that guy's sweet talk. It turns out you had so many ulterior motives!"

Le Xin'er rolled her eyes at her and said irritably, "I'm a top lawyer, after all. Even if I don't have much experience with men and women, I still have basic rational thinking!"

Le Mengyao also pouted and said irritably, "However, if I were you, I would still leave him!"

"why?"

"Why even ask? You already have your own career and plenty of money, why would you want to fight with another woman for a jerk like that!"

Le Xin'er shook her head and said in a low voice, "Sometimes, I have thought about these things, but after thinking about it carefully, I realized that I don't have a better choice in my current position!"

"Even if you can't find a suitable man, isn't it better to live your own life? Women should be independent and self-reliant!"

"First of all, I'm not that thick-skinned. Xiaofeng helped me expand my career. If I say that I'm independent and that I got everything through my own efforts, it's just self-deception."

Secondly, men need women, and women need men. When I need a man, am I supposed to go to a nightclub to find a young, attractive man? That would be like spending money to degrade myself.

Why bother? Xiaofeng is very good to me, and we get along quite well. Apart from not having that certificate, he has given me everything else.

I was originally the illegitimate daughter of the Le family. What did the Le family give my mother? Did they give her as much as Xiaofeng did? Yet my mother is still grateful to the Le family and tells me to be grateful to them every day.

Life is inherently imperfect. Pursuing perfection too much can cause you to lose everything you have right now. Once you see things clearly, you'll naturally understand what to do!

Furthermore, at my level, and given how quickly I've risen to prominence, it's inevitable that I'll attract the jealousy of my peers. My profession also makes it hard to avoid getting involved with powerful figures.

When I encounter problems I can't solve and need someone to protect me, who is willing to come and protect me? And who has the ability to do so?

I've thought about it, and it's only Xiaofeng. Don't you think so?

"Xin'er, if you ever encounter any trouble, the Le family will lend you a helping hand!"

Le Xin'er shook her head, took a deep breath, and said seriously, "I admit that the Le family has given me a lot and provided a lot of help for my growth."

But I know that if nothing goes wrong, all will be well. But if something really happens to me, the Le family will only provide me with limited help, but Xiaofeng will definitely do everything he can to help me.

Xiaofeng has no family, and I can feel that he treats us girls not just as women, but as family!

I think he has an extreme lack of security when it comes to women. He doesn't care how much money he spends, but he doesn't want to get hurt in the slightest.

Sometimes I even feel that the reason he has so many women around him is because he wants more people to be with him, so that even if some leave him, there will still be people by his side!

"That's ridiculous! Men seek out women simply because they're lustful. Where do all these nonsensical reasons come from?"

"That might be true for other men, but for Xiaofeng, it's more than that, because Xiaofeng is very good to every woman around him, and he does his best to help them!"

But what about other men? They either keep women at home like decorative objects, or they just play around with them!

We understand the difference in our hearts, and that's precisely why no one wants to leave him, and why anyone would be willing to have his children!

At this point, Le Xin'er seemed to have thought of something, and her face was filled with a maternal smile as she said, "You don't know, Xiaofeng looks just like a child when he's asleep."

Most of the time, he'd cling to me like an octopus, as if he were terrified of me leaving him—he was a completely different person from the all-knowing, wise, and domineering CEO he was during the day!

Le Mengyao said irritably, "Tch, you're just blind to beauty. You think everything he does is good. Maybe he's just lusting after your body and your good looks!"

Le Xin'er said with a smile, "That's not so bad. A woman dresses up for the man she loves. No matter what Xiaofeng likes about me, as long as he likes me and treats me well, what do I have to complain about?"

But you, sister, you're not young anymore. You should start thinking about your future!

Le Mengyao sighed and said with great emotion, "My marriage will have to wait until the family business is stable. The most important thing is to see what my parents think and which family the Le family should ally with in the future!"
