31: Chapter 31 The Secret of Bai Jinse and Zi Ning!
“What, marry me?”
And both of them, together, to marry me and bear my children in the future?
Xu Qianli nearly thought she had misheard.
The two of them, one the sister of Bai Yanran, the leading businesswoman of the provincial capital, and the other the daughter of Secretary Zi Guangyu, either one of them a high-and-mighty little princess.
As for someone like me, I could only look up to them.
Yet here they were, proposing to marry me together – what in the world was this?
Before Xu Qianli could say anything, Zi Ning spoke up, “Jinse, really, who starts off by insisting on being someone’s wife?
You should start as a girlfriend, silly.
We’re both your girlfriends now, and you have to treat us well in the future.”
Xu Qianli was completely flustered.
Was Bai Jinse not enough that Zi Ning also joined this madness – were they serious?
Finally regaining her composure, Xu Qianli said, “I appreciate the sentiment, but it’s just not appropriate between us.”
Bai Jinse said, “What, already have a girlfriend?
It’s no big deal, we can be concubines then.
Both Zi Ning and I are so beautiful, you’re getting a bargain.
You have to treat us well, okay?”
Zi Ning said, “I know you think we’re being impulsive in making this decision.
But many things in this world are accomplished on a whim.
Since we have made this decision, neither Jinse nor I will regret it nor change our minds.
Anyway, from now on, we belong to you!”
While they spoke, they clung to Xu Qianli’s arms from both sides, refusing to let go.
Xu Qianli could clearly feel how great their figures were; Zi Ning was still young but her bust was comparable to Bai Yanran’s, and Bai Jinse was in no way inferior, both exuding a unique fragrance that was very pleasant.
Either one of them was a top beauty.
Now in their early twenties and already so ravishing, a few more years to mature, they would certainly be no less charming than Bai Yanran.
However, Xu Qianli felt it just wasn’t right for her to be with them, believing there could be no future.
After all, she was just a department-level cadre from Jiang City, while both girls were princess-like figures; the difference in status was far too great.
Even if they wanted to be with her out of gratitude for saving them, what would she do once they changed their minds in the future and she was deeply involved?
Besides, two at once, how could that work?
Seeing Xu Qianli’s dilemma, Bai Yanran pitched in, “Why not, Secretary Xu, just try to develop something with them?”
“Ms.
Bai, you can’t be joking.
Not only do you not stop them, you’re encouraging me to get involved with them?”
Two girls were outrageous enough, Bai Yanran’s remarks were simply beyond the pale for Xu Qianli.
Logically speaking, shouldn’t she be doing everything to prevent it?
Yet, she was suggesting the opposite?
Bai Yanran spread her hands out.
“I’m very open-minded.
I’ve always told Jinse that whoever she likes and chooses as her boyfriend, I won’t obstruct and will respect her choice.”
“Plus, I think you, Secretary Xu, are a very decent person, and you’ve saved Jinse’s life, so her choosing you as her boyfriend is quite appropriate.”
“Of course, I also understand that you’ve just met them, and it might be hard for you to accept this so suddenly, especially two girlfriends at once.”
“Here’s what we’ll do then – start by being friends with them, spend some time together, and who knows, maybe you’ll come to like them quite quickly.”
“As for having two girlfriends, don’t feel any psychological burden, what big shot doesn’t have a bunch of women around?”
“Even I almost became a man’s concubine,” Bai Yanran confessed her own past in an effort to persuade Xu Qianli to agree.
Xu Qianli was momentarily stunned.
Bai Yanran, a top businesswoman from the provincial city and a ravishing beauty, almost someone’s concubine?
Just how terrifying must that man’s identity, status, and background be?
Considering how beautiful she was, in the prime of her youth, radiant as a flower, and yet all alone, it truly was a pity.
Subconsciously, Xu Qianli’s gaze shifted to Bai Yanran’s lovely face, and a surge of impulse washed over him.
Compared to Jinse and Zi Ning, he longed for this mature and charming woman, exuding the most enticing fragrance of ripe fruit!
As if sensing Xu Qianli’s intentions, Bai Yanran shuddered and instinctively avoided his gaze, turning to the butler, “How’s dinner coming along?
It’s getting late.”
“The dinner is ready, Miss,” the butler replied.
Upon hearing this, Bai Yanran then led Xu Qianli to the dining room, with Jinse and Zi Ning naturally joining them.
They chatted as they ate, and time flew by so quickly that it was dark before they knew it.
After dinner, Bai Yanran sent Jinse and Zi Ning away and asked Xu Qianli to join her in the study.
Once the door was closed, Bai Yanran got straight to the point, “Secretary Xu, you must be curious why I support you developing a relationship with both Jinse and Zi Ning.
It’s quite simple.
Secretary Zi and I have always been worried that they might reject all men, ending up without marriage.”
Xu Qianli said, “I don’t quite understand what you mean, Ms.
Bai.”
“You’re smart enough to be the County Magistrate’s secretary, so I don’t believe you really don’t understand what I’m saying.”
“Could it be…”
Xu Qianli suddenly recalled something.
Jinse and Zi Ning were overly intimate, even holding hands when they returned.
Could it be that their relationship was more than just best friends?
Bai Yanran easily read Xu Qianli’s thoughts and nodded slightly.
“Yes, it’s as you’re thinking.
Their relationship is indeed a bit tricky.”
“Secretary Zi and I have thought of intervening, but the reaction was extremely fierce, they even attempted suicide together by poisoning themselves!”
“By the time they were found, they were barely breathing.
After being rushed to the hospital, they lay in the ICU for at least a month before waking up, and it took them a year of convalescence to recover to some semblance of health.”
“Since then, we did not dare to intervene, letting them be.
However, letting this continue was not ideal, yet we had no solution.”
“Today, they were in an accident, and you saved them.
Out of gratitude, they are willing to be your girlfriends together.
To me, this is a good thing.”
“Of course, it is also good for you.
Not only do you get two beautiful women for nothing, but you also gain support from both Secretary Zi and me.
Why wouldn’t you be happy with that?”
Bai Yanran laid it all out, eager to see the current situation and happy for Xu Qianli to develop a relationship with both Jinse and Zi Ning.
Hearing this, Xu Qianli took out a cigarette, lit it, and took two deep drags before responding.
“It’s not that I don’t like them, but I feel that there is too great a disparity in our statuses.
Even if we are together now, we’re bound to break up eventually, and I don’t want to invest everything in a relationship that I know is doomed.”
“Furthermore, you’ve only seen the good side of me and not the bad.
I have several women in my life, and I am no good guy.”
“Even, I’ve thought about taking you to bed, Ms.
Bai!”
