A second chance with my billionaire husband-Chapter 1507 - 291: Idle Gossip, Do Not Slander

She still had Jinjin, Xingxing, and Xuanxuan. For these three most important people in her life, she couldn’t fall.

There’s strength in motherhood. Yun Ya saw the determination in Meng Shujing’s eyes and secretly sighed.

Yan Nanxiao drove away from the Yan Family and wandered aimlessly through the streets until he passed by a bar. He saw scantily clad women at the entrance beckoning customers, the garish lights casting shadows on their heavily made-up faces, making them look both alluring and cheap, yet inexplicably attractive.

Yan Nanxiao parked the car by the roadside and took a deep drag of his cigarette. The sudden inhale made him cough violently, and he hurriedly lowered the window, letting the cold air dispel the choking smoke.

"Mister, are you alone?" A sultry voice came unexpectedly, followed by a fair, lotus-like arm snaking through the car window, curling around Yan Nanxiao’s tie. Instinctively, Yan Nanxiao leaned forward, only to see a woman wearing a revealing outfit under her coat, her alluring figure leaning in from outside the window, her breath fragrant as she whispered in his ear.

Yan Nanxiao’s breath trembled, wanting to push the woman away, feeling a deep aversion for women who sold their bodies—too filthy!

Yet, the woman didn’t give him a chance to react. Her soft fingers slid into his collar, smiling as she said, "Anytime, anywhere, the price is negotiable...."

The string in Yan Nanxiao’s mind suddenly snapped...

Half an hour later.

The woman came out of the car, wrapped in a coat, her hair disheveled, her eyes all smiles. She held a wad of cash, turned to the man fastening his buttons, and grinned, "Sir, my name is Jasmine, it’s been a pleasure serving you. If you ever need again, you can come to me, guaranteed satisfaction...."

With that, she threw him a seductive wink and sauntered off.

It was truly satisfying, an experience Yan Nanxiao had never encountered before. As the eldest grandson of the Yan Family, he had been strictly brought up, never daring to touch gambling, smoking, or drinking. He married Meng Shujing according to family arrangements; both were rigid individuals, and aside from obligatory duties, he found no passion with her. After all these years of repression, he felt his past life had been wasted.

Yan Nanxiao felt invigorated, as if he had suddenly opened the door to a new world.

Thinking about that intoxicating taste from earlier, something he could never experience with the uninteresting Meng Shujing, every cell in his body seemed to come alive.

Before driving away, he glanced once more at the bar’s facade, neon lights reflecting in his eyes, a slow smile forming on his lips.

The woman, having just rounded the street corner, prepared to count the money. Though the man was a little old, not quite useful, he was generous, pulling a stack from his wallet without looking. Clearly, he was wealthy, the type whose wife kept him in check, sneaking out for illicit affairs. Such men were the easiest to handle; she should develop him into a long-term client, securing her future livelihood.

Suddenly, she felt a chill on her forehead, freezing her in place.

"Who... who are you?"

A dark gun barrel aimed at her temple.

"It doesn’t matter who I am. You just need to know that the man from earlier will take you away from this life, understand?"

A deep male voice, with heavy metal music from the bar not far away, muffled the words.

The woman shook her head, then quickly nodded, "Yes... I understand, may I ask what I need to do?"

"Just do what a woman is supposed to do."

The next day, afternoon.

Zhuang Xiyue took Yun Ya for a spa and picked up custom dresses. As they stepped out of the beauty salon, a military vehicle stopped steadily in front of them.

Yan Song, dressed in a crisp suit, stepped out, strikingly handsome in the sunlight, attracting many women’s gazes.

Zhuang Xiyue smiled, "Right on time, perfectly punctual, let’s go."

The group got into the car, headed straight for the Tao Family Villa.

When they arrived, luxury cars parked all around the villa. Yan Song parked and accompanied Yun Ya, with Zhuang Xiyue beside them, the trio moved toward the villa. Zhuang Xiyue handed over the invitation and entered the banquet hall.

Tao Minsheng, by nature low-key, adhered to a principle of discretion in life and work. But for his youngest daughter, his darling, her coming-of-age ceremony had to be celebrated under the spotlight, hence nearly all the Capital City’s elite gathered today.

As soon as Zhuang Xiyue appeared, many people approached to speak with her, mostly familiar faces from the engagement party. Following Zhuang Xiyue, Yun Ya played the role of the graceful, gentle socialite, becoming the most striking figure in the entire banquet hall from the moment they arrived.
