"Ah, boss, what... what are you talking about..."
Xu Wenqian was standing right behind Zhou Wang, but she was clearly lost in thought. When Zhou Wang suddenly spoke up, she was caught off guard.
"You know what I’m talking about."
Zhou Wang’s expression was calm, "You know, those assets of the Yu Family, Qi Kai sold them to me. You just had Sister Mei handle the business change the day before yesterday, so no one knows better than you... That estate villa, the two factories, and a large batch of Sanqi Medicine are in my hands."
"I..."
Xu Wenqian bit her lip, unsure what to say.
The silence lasted for a while. Just when Zhou Wang thought Xu Wenqian would voice her doubts, she suddenly leaned gently onto his shoulder, softly embracing Zhou Wang from behind.
"I’ve actually been thinking for a long time, and I still can’t understand why you did this, boss. Maybe I’m just too slow, but..."
"But what?"
Zhou Wang felt the warm touch from behind and was momentarily taken aback.
"But for some reason, I just feel a bit heartbroken... Not heartbroken for Duoduo, but heartbroken for you, boss."
Xu Wenqian murmured.
Zhou Wang’s expression subtly changed, and he took a deep breath, smiling, "Oh? Why would you feel heartbroken for me?"
"I can’t say exactly, but... if it were the old you, you would have directly told Yu Duo, or carefully crafted it as a surprise and given it to Yu Duo."
Seeing Zhou Wang was not resistant, Xu Wenqian held him more assuredly, relishing in the moment of closeness, quietly saying:
"But now you didn’t do that, and I know you have no ill intentions towards Yu Duo, boss, so you must have a more profound plan, which means you’ve matured compared to before. It’s a good thing, but..."
"But what?"
"But it means that every step you take, boss, you have to consider so much more now. Isn’t that tiring?"
Xu Wenqian murmured, "That’s why I feel a bit heartbroken. When a person thinks too much, how can they be happy?"
Zhou Wang fell silent for a moment.
After a long pause, Zhou Wang smiled lightly, pulling Xu Wenqian’s smooth hand, making her sit in his lap, then tightly embracing her.
"Qianqian, you’ve changed too. I remember your thoughts weren’t this intricate before..."
When you truly love someone, what is there that you can’t understand?
Xu Wenqian silently added in her heart, but she didn’t speak, only slightly turned her head to prevent the earrings she wore today from scratching Zhou Wang.
"If it were just Yu Duo, I wouldn’t mind. For my own woman, there’s no need for scheming."
Zhou Wang gently shared his hidden thoughts, "But you have to understand, those assets were never under Yu Duo’s name... I don’t know Yu Zetao, I’ve only met Yu Fei once, and Mrs. Yu doesn’t need mentioning."
"Maybe they’re good people, maybe even if I return the assets directly to them, they’ll be grateful for a lifetime, but I don’t want to test human nature. Gambling money, you might still have a chance to win; gambling hearts, wise men don’t do."
"It’s not just value seven hundred million in assets, there’s also one billion in debt."
"A pound of kindness, a bushel of hatred..."
"Of course, I could directly gift these assets to Yu Duo, but Yu Duo obviously hasn’t developed the independence or ability to manage these assets well, so fundamentally, there’s no difference."
Xu Wenqian knew Zhou Wang was not explaining to her, it was more like he was talking to himself, so she said nothing, gently stroking Zhou Wang’s back, quietly listening.
"That being said, I don’t want Yu Duo to continue suffering, so I still need to help, just in my own way..."
"Qianqian, later change the ownership of that estate villa to Yu Duo, and for the other assets, ask Lawyer Gao to draft a blank agreement. When the time is right, I’ll present them to Duoduo as a ’gift’."
"As for that billion in debt, Mr. He actually hinted earlier that he could directly pay it off for the Yu Family."
"But such a huge favor shouldn’t be owed so casually, so I refused... Later, you’ll arrange a loan from Zhao Hang to cover that debt, but don’t tell anyone, just let the Yu Family owe me instead."
Upon hearing this, Xu Wenqian responded, "Boss, I understand. You’ve considered everything thoroughly, Yu Duo... is truly lucky."
By the end, Xu Wenqian was slightly choked up, but Zhou Wang didn’t notice anything unusual about her, still pondering his last thought.
Does Zhou Wang really have no personal motives?
Of course not.
He has never been a saint, nor would he solely consider things from someone else’s perspective.
What’s prompting Zhou Wang to do this, there’s actually another reason he wouldn’t disclose to anyone.
Just now, after conversing with the Yu Family, within his vision, the mysterious halo he once saw around Qi Kai at Building No.9 Club had quietly transferred to Yu Duo.
At that moment, Zhou Wang realized what that mysterious halo truly meant.
