Chapter 461: Chapter 461: Straight Talk Between the Sisters

"What in the world are you trying to do?" After Wang Chenning left, Yang Xiaofei asked Yang Xiaofu, her face cold. "If I hadn’t shown up, were you two planning to..."

"Sis, do you like him?" Yang Xiaofu cut her off. "Answer me first!"

Yang Xiaofei, of course, didn’t answer her. Her gaze grew even colder.

Unlike in the past, Yang Xiaofu wasn’t intimidated by her sister’s glare. She continued, "I know you like him, but it’s not like you’re madly in love. Even if you did fall head over heels for him, you wouldn’t die just because you couldn’t have him."

"What are you getting at?" Yang Xiaofei cut her off impatiently.

"I’m analyzing the situation for you. You know the saying: you can’t see the forest for the trees. I haven’t dived in headfirst like you, so I see a lot of things more clearly!" Yang Xiaofu took a deep breath, forcing herself to stay confident. "You’ve cast aside your usual reserve to join this romantic farce, mainly because you can’t stand to lose, and also because of the huge benefits Wang Chenning can bring you."

"Don’t interrupt me. Just listen to my analysis!" Seeing Yang Xiaofei’s expression darken further, Yang Xiaofu breathed a small sigh of relief. She continued, "Right now, you’re not just feeling the pressure from Zhao Xiao’an, but also from Luo Yuqing, Li Yanxian, and the others. But Wang Chenning doesn’t treat you any differently despite how outstanding you are, or the fact that you were his fiancée. He’s actually warmer to Zhao Xiao’an than he is to you. That’s why you can’t stand it. Your competitive nature won’t let you just back down!"

"At first, it was his incredible medical skills. You thought having a friend like that could solve a lot of problems, so you were willing to stay in touch with him. But as you got to know him, you discovered this man’s excellence was beyond your wildest expectations, to the point where you felt you couldn’t even compare, that you had to look up to him. He didn’t just casually swat away the provocations of those rich playboys; he reaped huge benefits from it.

He achieved massive success on his visits to South Korea and Japan, becoming a titan in the world of Huaxia’s traditional medicine at the tender age of twenty-six. You saw huge business opportunities in his spectacular performance, which made you even more unwilling to just hand him over to someone else.

This time, he took Zhao Xiao’an on a trip to Jiangnan and just as easily drummed up a ton of buzz, which led to massive investment opportunities. So, you couldn’t take it anymore and chased him all the way to Qiantang. I’m sure that by now, you feel more and more that you can’t measure up to him. His accomplishments are bound to exceed everyone’s expectations. That’s why, even though you know he’s a player, you still want to be with him.

But I have to remind you, compared to Luo Yuqing, Zhao Xiao’an, and Li Yanxian, you don’t have much of an edge. In terms of looks, figure, or anything else, you’re on par with them at best—it’s a toss-up. You have no real advantage. What’s more, the impression you’ve left on Wang Chenning is that of a cold, stern poker face. It makes you seem like no fun. That’s why he doesn’t take you that seriously. Right now, you’re a wreck, worried sick that you’re going to lose."

Yang Xiaofu paused, then laid out her idea in all seriousness. "Sis, why don’t we do it together? If we sisters join forces, we’ll have an immediate advantage. Let’s stop overthinking it and just focus on beating the competition first. This isn’t some simple game of love; this is a real-world issue tied to our entire future. The economic value he can generate is astronomical, higher than we can possibly imagine. And he’s incredibly ambitious—he wants to control a region, maybe even several. Judging by what he’s accomplished in just two months here in Yandu, I think his chances of success are huge. Whether for the sake of our family’s interests or our own, we cannot lose him.

Setting everything else aside, just the way he can treat us and improve our health—that alone is priceless, to say nothing of the immense commercial value he brings to the table, which you understand better than I do. Since we’re already in this fight against them, there’s no sense in giving up halfway. The only price we have to pay is a piece of our hearts and our bodies. I think you and I see eye-to-eye on this. Being with someone we both like and respect, doing things we enjoy, and getting physical and emotional satisfaction in return... it’s not so unacceptable, is it? As for everything else, why overthink it?"

Before Yang Xiaofei could respond, Yang Xiaofu pressed on. "The truth is, women like us, born into powerful families, don’t have the luxury of true love. For the family’s interests, for practical reasons, we’re likely to end up married to men we don’t even like, bearing their children. Now that we’ve found someone we both like, someone who can give us things no one else can, why are we holding back?"

Yang Xiaofei’s expression was still cold, but she was no longer as agitated as before.

She had to admit her sister had a point, but she didn’t want to entertain the suggestion.

Seeing that her sister hadn’t exploded in anger, an emboldened Yang Xiaofu pressed on. "Sis, when he first came to Yandu, he said he was still a virgin—that he’d never been with a woman. If that’s the case, why don’t we seize this opportunity and take that ’most precious thing’ from him? Think about it, if one of us—or both of us—becomes the most important woman in his life, what he’d give us would surely be the most!

Sis, let’s team up! The two of us together... our power as a team would completely crush any one of them!"
