The Wealthy Tycoon's Game of Life-Chapter 1293 - 497: Anticipation_2

"That’s because I know Aunt is magnanimous and won’t get angry with me..."

Zhou Wang laughed heartily, then unexpectedly took Ding Yi’s hand, catching her off guard, and posed for a few photos together.

"Zhou Wang, you..."

Once they left the media area, Ding Yi seemed to notice Zhou Wang’s firm grip and, slightly stunned, began.

"Give me some time, okay?"

Zhou Wang gazed at the bright face of the girl in front of him and said softly, "I’ve wronged you in the past. Even now, though I’ve figured some things out, I can’t promise you anything. Nonetheless, I will find a way to give you a definite answer. Whether you can accept the outcome or not... at least I won’t keep avoiding it anymore."

"Zhou Wang..."

"Shh!"

Zhou Wang released Ding Yi’s hand, gently pinched her flawless cheek, and said, "Let’s keep things as they are, at least until tonight’s over."

After saying this, Zhou Wang walked over to the side, picked up the gift box Ding Yi had placed there for photos, and smiled brightly at her.

"I love the tie, thank you... Oh, I also have a gift for you. Go keep your mom company for now. I’ll have Sister Ran give it to you in a while."

After Zhou Wang waved his hand and left, Ding Yi stood there stunned for quite a while before her mouth curled up into a smile, muttering:

"Liar, how do you know if you like it or not without looking at it? Well, at least you remembered what I mentioned to you about it..."

Feeling inexplicably joyful, Ding Yi walked towards where her mom was seated, hands clasped behind her back, humming an unknown tune.

...

"Aunt Yan, long time no see... Eh?"

"Uh, what’s going on?"

Just as she stepped out of the elevator, Yan Baiqiu was made flustered by Zhou Wang’s passionate greeting and heard him suddenly make a puzzled sound.

"Your skin looks too good. What brand of skincare products do you use? Please, you must tell me so I can buy a set for my mom later."

"Oh, I don’t really use any skincare products, I just apply some ordinary facial masks and such..."

"Then I suppose there’s no way around it; you must be naturally beautiful, not something most people can emulate."

"You sly kid, why are you so smooth-tongued?"

Yan Baiqiu glared at Zhou Wang with disapproval and said, feeling a bit uncomfortable, "At my age, naturally beautiful, huh..."

Seeing Yan Baiqiu hasten her steps to escape, Xia Xiwei was left dumbfounded.

Although not her biological mother, Xia Xiwei knew Yan Baiqiu’s personality well enough to understand how just a few words from Zhou Wang could almost make her "fold under pressure"...

"I know you’re already sucked in, but instead of just watching me, hurry and redirect your mom’s path... She’s heading in the wrong direction; if she continues, she’ll bump into Ding Yi and her mom."

"Oh, oh."

Xia Xiwei instinctively responded and quickly chased after, only a few steps later realizing why she should listen to Zhou Wang?

Recalling the slap earlier from Zhou Wang downstairs, Xia Xiwei felt her face blush but still hummed while pulling Yan Baiqiu’s arm to guide her in another direction.

Left behind, Yan Siyun looked at Zhou Wang with a strange expression, about to step forward when Zhou Wang spoke, "Aunt, can I ask you a favor?"

"What is it?"

Yan Siyun was taken aback.

"Could you please keep an eye out and make sure Aunt Yan doesn’t go looking for my parents later?"

"Huh?"

Yan Siyun was a bit confused, "Your parents are here too... Wait, why can’t my sister meet your parents? If you’re dating Xixi, isn’t it normal for both sides’ parents to meet?"

"Don’t ask so many questions, just say if you can help or not."

"I can help, but..."

Yan Siyun’s dark eyes started to dart around.

"I know you’re secretly doing business behind your family’s back and you’re currently short on funds for turnover. That’s what you were seeking Jiang Minghao’s help for, right... Don’t worry, leave it to me."

Zhou Wang smiled, "My phone number has 189 nines, add me on WeChat first."

"You can really help me?"

"Yeah, I’ll first introduce you to someone: Magic City Ginkgo Capital’s CEO Xu Qing. Good enough?"

"Good, good... I can help you, but my sister can be quite stubborn; I’m worried she won’t heed me."

Yan Siyun was initially delighted but then expressed her concern.

"It’s fine if we can hold off until the party’s over. If she still wants to see my parents then, I’ll make arrangements, no problem with that?"

"Oj... OK, leave it to me!"

Listening to Yan Siyun subconsciously blurt out the words, Zhou Wang couldn’t help but chuckle.

It seems Xia Xiwei’s aunt isn’t as dignified as she appears on the surface!

But he didn’t want to probe further. After sending off Yan Siyun, Zhou Wang stretched and turned to see Young Master Qiu, Young Master Zhang, Guo Bing, and others who were greeting guests in the elevator with him, all staring at him dumbfounded. He couldn’t help but wave them off.

"What are you looking at? This is just routine."

Young Master Zhang and the others grinned, seemingly at a loss for how to reprimand this "shameless person" before them.

Despite feeling contempt for Zhou Wang’s audacious act of juggling three relationships, they couldn’t help but admire him internally...

Originally, they were hoping to watch Zhou Wang’s drama, but who would have thought the expected unsolvable chaotic scene would be nearly neutralized by his casual actions.

Even if there’s some minor mishap, with all three women being handled smoothly by him, it would just be a minor ripple, hardly affecting anything.

To this, Zhou Wang wanted to say, if you can predict all their behavioral trajectories, then you can do it too...

In the face of the "time rewind" glitch, the so-called "unpredictability" of women seemed laughable.

After preemptively clearing emotional crises, he could now focus entirely on dealing with another real trouble.

Casually pulling out a cigarette, while everyone else was clamoring about the disappearance of their lighters, Zhou Wang directly walked over to Tang Yiming and fished out four or five lighters from his pocket.

"Damn, Yiming, so you’re the lighter thief!"

"No, wait, Brother Dog, how did you know?"

Everyone condemned the embarrassed Tang Yiming, even more astonished by Zhou Wang’s keen insight, while Zhou Wang remained indifferent.

After waiting in the hallway with a cigarette, his phone finally buzzed, and checking it, Zhou Wang saw a message from Gao Xing.

"Found it."

Seeing Gao Xing didn’t disappoint, having pinpointed all bomb locations ahead of time, Zhou Wang sighed with slight relief.

He then dialed a number.

"Captain Lin, are your people in position?"

"Arriving within 5 minutes, all elite personnel, guaranteeing Mr. Zhou won’t be disappointed."

Hearing Lin Feng’s response on the other end, Zhou Wang nodded and hung up.

He glanced at his watch, then beckoned to Guo Bing amid banter with others.

"What’s up, uncle?"

"Is your dad about to arrive?"

"Yes, I just called, they’re almost in the parking lot..."

"Alright, then, do me a favor, find your dad first, and then..."

As he spoke, Zhou Wang whispered something in Guo Bing’s ear.

"Uh... uncle, what are you planning?"

Guo Bing was left puzzled and couldn’t help but ask.

"Just go, would I harm your dad?"

Zhou Wang had no intention of explaining, defensively retorting.

"True, then I’m off."

Guo Bing chuckled foolishly and happily trotted off.

"Young Master Zhang, could you also help me out?"

Applying the same tactic, Zhou Wang warmly embraced Zhang Zhiyuan and whispered in his ear as well.
