Ye Bing had never been in love, so he didn’t truly understand it. Yet, love resided in his heart, stemming from an instinctive belief that to love someone meant to wish for their well-being. It was about being willing to choose their happiness over his own interests without hesitation or regret. More than wanting to be with her, he feared the thought of her not living well.
Love was important, but understanding and comprehension were even more crucial. He was acutely aware of Zheng Mengni's aspirations, which prevented him from selfishly binding her to his own world. It seemed absurd, really. Ye Bing had pursued power for two lifetimes, yet in this third life, he willingly transformed into an altruist for the sake of one person.
His love did not revolve around what he could gain; rather, it centered on what he hoped Zheng Mengni could attain. He wished for her to possess the most beautiful things in the world. He sincerely wished for her to explore broader horizons and personally experience the life she yearned for.
The more Zheng Mengni gained, the greater his joy became. When she was happy, he felt even happier because of her happiness. When she thrived, his own sense of fulfillment increased alongside hers. This was how Ye Bing understood love and the rewards it brought him—rewards that could not be bought with any amount of money.
Others might struggle to grasp his perspective, but that didn’t matter; this was a sweet way he had quietly set for himself to obtain happiness. Ye Bing softly said, “Understanding what love is doesn’t matter much; what matters is that everything I do is based on her desires and thoughts. Whether we are together is also unimportant to me; as long as I can make her happy, I can accept many roles—friend, confidant, or brother. If I had to choose a relationship, being lovers would be best, provided she is willing.”
Tan Yan smiled politely at this and replied, “So have you thought of a reason to persuade me?”
Returning to my homeland is as easy as turning my hand. What I desire is to wield absolute power, to become so formidable that she cannot ignore me, willingly choosing to stay by my side.
I know better than anyone what type she likes and what she wants. Until I have sufficient strength, I can allow her to cast her gaze upon others. However, I am confident enough that after she has sifted through everyone else, she will only see me.
Ye Bing listened patiently, reflecting on how much effort he still needed to put in. So far, Tan Yan was the most difficult opponent to deal with. With his formidable personal strength, Tan Yan could boldly speak his mind. What he said was not mere fantasy; he could back it up.
Ye Bing was not in a hurry. He casually remarked, "No, if she wants to be with you, then let her be. I never planned on having her with me anyway. After all, I've always been the one chasing after her. My thoughts are simple; just following behind her is enough for me."
Tan Yan's eyes shimmered with surprise. It was rare for him to acknowledge someone, but he had to admit, "You are a peculiar person, yet very special. Over these years, Xiao Ni has only temporarily relied on you."
Ye Bing smiled lightly, "Oh."
After Zheng Mengni returned home, supported by a solid economic foundation, her studio developed smoothly. While busy with her entrepreneurial endeavors, she also diligently balanced her studies. With hard work and a touch of luck, Zheng Mengni's life flourished more and more.
