Chapter 817

Seeing Wang An not speaking, Sun Nian assumed he had been struck by her words. She furrowed her pretty little brows, looked at him, and then suddenly stepped forward to hug him, saying:

"Xiao An, we must be rational. You have your family, and I have my life. It's actually quite good for us to be sneaky like this, don't you think?"

Upon hearing this, Wang An was completely dumbfounded; he had clearly just been lectured!

But why was he feeling so happy inside?

One has to admit, for a married man, the most ideal state of life is "the red flag at home never falls, while the colorful flags outside flutter in the breeze."

And as for Wang An now, he had actually achieved this.

If one were to add this great beauty Sun Nian to the mix, Wang An's life would truly have reached its peak.

After Sun Nian finished speaking, she said to Wang An as if coaxing a son:

"You must know that we two definitely cannot end up together. Although I like you very much, you are not someone to whom I can entrust my life—at least, that is what I believe."

"Therefore, if one day I get married, I hope to receive your blessing, rather than be influenced by you."

It was clear that these were Sun Nian's heartfelt words.

After thinking for a moment, Wang An feigned a sorrowful look and said:

"Mm, Sister Nian, I'll listen to you. From now on, we'll just keep being sneaky like this, without letting anyone know—not even my eldest sister."

Hearing Wang An's words, Sun Nian's brows instantly relaxed. Her whole person seemed to have shed a mental burden, and she said with great relief:

"Xiao An, it's great that you can think it through. How about it? Shall we go again?"

Sun Nian's final sentence took a truly harsh turn; they were clearly discussing serious matters, yet she just had to veer off track.

But Wang An really didn't want to anymore; not only did he not want to now, but he felt he wouldn't want to for the next few days either.

Last night was truly "damn" exhausting!

Wang An blinked his eyes and said with a face full of sincerity:

"Sister Nian, how about we talk about it next time? Doing this thing constantly isn't good for the body. Besides, you've just lost your virginity, let's not ruin your health."

Sun Nian naturally saw through Wang An's fear, but thinking back, the two of them had indeed been a bit too frequent throughout the night, so she didn't continue to insist, merely rolling her eyes at him and saying:

"You useless thing, if you can't do it, just say so. Why go through such a big circle? You're nothing."

It must be said, this was definitely a very mocking remark.

It was as if she were taking Wang An's face as a shoe sole and grinding it fiercely against the ground.

Because the old saying goes, "A man cannot say he can't."

Yet at this moment, Wang An dared not retort.

Not only did he dare not retort, but Wang An didn't even dare to pick up the conversation, because he was truly afraid of Sun Nian.

Fortunately, Wang An's skin was thick enough that he simply played dead.

After a while, Sun Nian finally stopped dwelling on the matter and asked Wang An:

"By the way, Xiao An, I forgot to ask, what did you come to the county town for this time?"

Upon hearing this, Wang An briefly explained the matter of buying grain, and also mentioned helping Mu Xueli buy a walking tractor.

However, regarding the pharmaceutical factory, Wang An didn't say a word; mainly because it was still just an idea, and talking about it would be superfluous.

Furthermore, from Sun Nian's account yesterday, it wasn't hard to hear that the reason Sun Xianghuo was removed from his post was primarily a matter of political stance.

Otherwise, there wouldn't have been absolutely no one to step forward and give him a hand.

This also meant that the relationship between Wu Dong, Wang Shuai, and others with Sun Nian might need to be re-evaluated.

As for the profit-sharing of the pharmaceutical factory, Wang An's word wasn't final, and he didn't know how Wu Dong and Wang Shuai had arranged things.

So, all in all, it was better for Wang An not to mention it, lest he create trouble for no reason.

Sure enough, upon hearing that Wang An was going to find Wu Dong and the others to help buy a walking tractor, Sun Nian hesitated and said: "Then when I ride past later, I'll drop you off at the end of the street where Brother Wu lives. I have some other things to attend to, so I won't go to Brother Wu's place first."

Sun Nian's words were enough to show that the relationship between Sun Nian and Wu Dong and the others had indeed developed a rift.

Although Wang An guessed this, he didn't take the initiative to point it out, instead saying with a chuckle:

"Mm, Sister Nian, you go ahead and be busy. If you're in a rush, you don't even need to drop me off; I'll just stroll over there."

Sun Nian said while putting on her clothes:

"It's fine, it's quite a distance, walking would take forever..."

As they spoke, the two of them packed up and headed out.

On the road, Sun Nian opened her mouth to speak several times but stopped, and until they reached a spot not far from the gate of Wu Dong's house, she still hadn't spoken a word.

Although Wang An couldn't guess what Sun Nian wanted to say, he was smart enough not to ask.

For a small fry like Wang An, many things can only be observed and watched; as for the rest, it's better not to talk nonsense.

Soon, the sidecar arrived at the destination. After dropping Wang An off, Sun Nian glanced at the gate of Wu Dong's house and rode off in the sidecar.

The timing was quite good; when Wang An arrived at Wu Dong's house, Wu Dong hadn't gone to work yet.

Upon meeting, Wu Dong said with a chuckle:

"I was wondering why the magpies were chirping all morning; it turns out my foster parents' own brother has arrived, hahahaha..."

Upon hearing this, Wang An also said with a face full of smiles:

"It's just that I missed my Brother Wu; I missed you so much I couldn't eat or poop, and finally, I couldn't hold it anymore, so I came."

As soon as Wang An finished speaking, a silver bell-like laughter came from another room.

Clearly, this was Wu Dong's wife laughing.

Wu Dong said with great helplessness:

"It's one thing that you can't eat, but you even brought up not being able to poop—if you don't eat, where would the poop come from?"

Wang An chuckled "hehehehe" and didn't continue to mess around with Wu Dong, saying:

"What have you been busy with lately, Brother Wu? Have you dealt with that pretty boy? The guy named Bao Zi."

Although Wang An had already learned the gist from Sun Nian, she wasn't a participant in the matter, and what she knew was all heard from Zhang Shuya.

Hearing Wang An's question, Wu Dong, who had been very happy, suddenly became a bit sorrowful and said:

"Don't even mention it. Originally, I wanted to let that brat Shang Tianbao suffer a bit and then just finish him off. After all, long nights bring many dreams, and the old Shang family in Bingcheng isn't someone to be trifled with."

Sighing, Wu Dong continued:

"And damn it, Shang Tianbao's grandfather actually woke up. Although anyone with eyes can see it's just a final flash of clarity, it's been two or three days and he still hasn't died. The elders of our families are all about to buckle under the pressure."

It was clear that Shang Tianbao's grandfather was the one who truly called the shots.

Wang An asked subconsciously:

"Does that mean Shang Tianbao was taken back by his family?"

Thanks to "Empire Emperor" for the tip, thank you, thank you!

Thanks to "Book Friend" for the tip, thank you, thank you!
