My Sexy CEO Wife-Chapter 181 - 179 Ever-Changing (Part 7)
"In this world, nothing is perfect," Gao Fei said. "Now that you're famous and your income is high, it's natural that you'll have some troubles, and they are inevitable." He paused before adding, "Compared with most people, you're fortunate. You don't know how many people envy you."
"That's true," Meng Xiaoyu nodded. "Indeed, many people envy me, and if I had to choose, I would still pick this path."
"Just a heads up, sitting here with me, whispering, and looking quite intimate will definitely arouse suspicion. It wouldn't be surprising if tomorrow's newspapers had a headline reading: 'Famous actress Meng Xiaoyu has a private meeting with a mysterious man on an airplane!' How attractive is that headline?"
"Hehe..." Meng Xiaoyu chuckled. "I don't care, I'll just tell the reporters that you're my boyfriend if it comes to that."
"You should't joke about this kind of thing."
"I'm not joking. I'm serious, Mr. Gao. I've wanted to tell you for a long time but never found the opportunity. I like you, really like you, and I want to be your girlfriend. Can you accept me?"
"I..." Gao Fei was stunned. He hadn't expected Meng Xiaoyu to confess to him, it was too sudden, so sudden that he was completely unprepared.
There was no denying that Meng Xiaoyu was beautiful, tall, with fair skin, and a well-known superstar, which was quite attractive to Gao Fei. Having Meng Xiaoyu as a girlfriend would definitely be prestigious.
Seeing Gao Fei not responding, Meng Xiaoyu grew anxious. "Mr. Gao, do you dislike me?"
"No," Gao Fei shook his head. "How could I dislike you?"
"Then do you like me?" Meng Xiaoyu continued to ask.
"This..." Gao Fei hesitated. "I admit, I have a good impression of you..."
"If that's the case, why can't you accept me?"
"Honestly, I don't want to start a relationship now."
"Why?"
"Because I'm not ready."
"When will you be ready?"
"I don't know," Gao Fei shook his head. "I really don't have such plans for now! Can you give me some time to think about it properly?"
"Okay," Meng Xiaoyu nodded. "I'll always be waiting for you! In this lifetime, I'm yours or nobody else's."
Gao Fei twisted his mouth, "Don't be so sure. There are plenty of men better than me in this world. Maybe one day you'll meet someone you like more."
"That won't happen," Meng Xiaoyu shook her head vigorously. "In my heart, you're the best! No one can surpass you."
Her words... made Gao Fei somewhat embarrassed. Truth be told, he was quite thin-skinned.
"I hope I don't have to wait too long," Meng Xiaoyu whispered. "I really want to be your wife, to cook for you, to wash your clothes, to share your worries, and to never leave your side. If you don't want me to be in the public eye, then I'll leave the entertainment industry. In short, for you, I can do anything."
Having said so much, what more could Gao Fei say?
An ancient saying goes: It is difficult to refuse the favor of a beautiful woman! How true that statement is! When a beauty confesses to you, especially with deep affection, it is probably impossible for any man to resist, right?
Gao Fei almost nodded in agreement; but at the last second, he held back because just then... the images of several girls flashed through his mind: Su Xiaorou, Shen Caidie, Liu Mengyao, and the nurse Ouyang Lan. It was a subconscious reaction...
Why did these women's images flash across his mind? Could it be that he had feelings for them?
Gao Fei twitched the corners of his mouth. He couldn't possibly be that fickle, could he?
"Mr. Gao, what's wrong?" Meng Xiaoyu noticed something was off with Gao Fei.
"Um... nothing," Gao Fei shook his head. "Meng Xiaoyu, I'm moved by your feelings for me... but I can't give you an answer right now. I want to think it over carefully and then give you a response, okay?"
"Sure, no problem. I'll listen to you," Meng Xiaoyu nodded.

After the paper on the window was torn, the atmosphere between the two became somewhat awkward… and their conversation was no longer as casual as before… 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
"Do you still remember Ning Lan?" Meng Xiaoyu asked.
"Ning Lan?" Gao Fei was startled, "The female celebrity?"
"Yes, that's her," Meng Xiaoyu nodded, "She asked me to convey her thanks to you for saving her last time. She wants to invite you to dinner, but she's not sure if you would accept."
"It's no big deal," Gao Fei waved his hand, "Last time I saved her was just a coincidence. Tell her not to take it too seriously."
"Apart from wanting to thank you, Ning Lan has another idea in mind."
"What is it?"
"She wants to rely on you as a backer."
"You think too much, right?"
"Not at all," Meng Xiaoyu shook his head, "I'm not overthinking it. I've known Ning Lan for several years and understand her temperament very well… Ever since she witnessed your power last time, she hasn't been able to calm down…" He paused, then continued, "Mr. Gao, if it's convenient for you… could you help Ning Lan out? She really hasn't had it easy, and it hurts me to see her being bullied."
"Alright, I'll have a word with Lu Hao later and ask him to take good care of Ning Lan," Gao Fei nodded.
"That's great! Ning Lan will be overjoyed to hear this," Meng Xiaoyu was very happy.
…
Several hours later.
The plane landed slowly.
The cabin door opened, and Gao Fei and Meng Xiaoyu walked out one after the other.
"Let's part ways here, call me if you need anything," Gao Fei said as he walked away from the airport with firm steps.
"Sigh…" Meng Xiaoyu sighed lightly, "I still don't know if Mr. Gao will finally accept me." Until Gao Fei gave an answer, Meng Xiaoyu could not be at ease.
…
The Southwestern Barren Mountains.
Gao Fei stood on a rock, looking towards the distant cluster of buildings and murmured to himself, "This is the Yin Yang Sect? Doesn't look like much, huh? It's quite different from what I imagined…" In Gao Fei's mind, the Yin Yang Sect was supposed to be glorious and spectacular, but now that he saw it firsthand, he realized it was very dilapidated, having nothing to do with grandeur or splendor.
"Who goes there!"
A man in a long robe emerged from the mountain gate, pointing at Gao Fei, "This is private property, no place for the likes of you to approach!"
"Is this the Yin Yang Sect?" Gao Fei asked.
"Yes! This is the Yin Yang Sect," the man nodded.
"Go in and report, just say that the one who is here to smash the place has arrived," Gao Fei said indifferently.
"Smash the place?" The man's face suddenly changed, "Who are you! Daring to cause trouble at the Yin Yang Sect, you must be tired of living!"
"How noisy," Gao Fei stepped forward and reached out to grab the man.
To the man's horror, he found that he couldn't dodge, and could only watch as Gao Fei's hand closed around his neck, "You... you…" After his neck was seized, his breathing became labored.
"If you dare to be noisy again, I'll snap your neck," Gao Fei gave a light push, and the man staggered back a dozen steps before falling to the ground. After being chastened, the man became much more subdued and no longer dared to accuse Gao Fei. He scrambled up from the ground and ran towards the Yin Yang Sect in a panic.
