My Supernatural Exes Are Desperate to Win Me Back - Chapter 40 - Xie Yi's Identity is Exposed

Wen Nansen, wearing white gloves, brushed off the man trying to take advantage of him with his left hand, and with his right, he touched Xu Xining’s slightly flushed face, lowering his deep emerald gaze, “Why did you drink so much again?”

Xu Xining grinned, reaching out like a kitten to hook his glasses chain, “Oh, Teacher Wen, why aren’t you wearing a dress today…”

“What Teacher Wen…” The man trying to take advantage was casually brushed aside by Wen Nansen. It seemed light, but in reality, his hand hurt so much that cold sweat broke out, “No, who let you in?”

Director Liu’s face changed slightly, “This is our Pianyu Media’s chief editor, Wen Nansen…”

The people at the table immediately understood his identity, exchanging glances filled with disdain and annoyance.

…A chief editor from a subsidiary company, was he invited? Coming here to play the hero and save the beauty?

Wen Nansen didn’t look at them, only supporting Xu Xining as they walked forward. The girl mumbled about how she didn’t get to eat any Australian lobster, asking Teacher Wen to steal one for her.

Director Liu caught up, feeling slightly annoyed, her tone sharp, “Wen Nansen, what are you doing? It’s just a social engagement, everyone goes through it. You’re making it hard for Manager Lin, what am I supposed to say if Director Rong asks later?”

Wen Nansen turned his head, his eyes carrying the slightly stern disappointment of an elder, like a teacher scolding a student for cheating, yet his tone remained restrained and gentle, “Just because you went through it this way, you hope others will too?”

Director Liu snapped, “Is this something I can decide? Shouldn’t I teach a graduate who doesn’t understand social etiquette? Drinking a little, is it such a big loss? How will she climb up in the future…”

Her words abruptly changed direction, “What do I lack compared to her? Isn’t she just young and pretty, catching a good time? She has you paving the way for her, what about me? Didn’t I struggle my way up back then? Drinking won’t kill anyone! For such a trivial matter, you look at me like this… you,” her voice, filled with anger, carried a hint of sobbing, “do you even know I like you?”

On her shoulder perched an invisible light green butterfly.

The Spirit’s spell-Truth Spell.

The butterfly fluttered away, and Director Liu suddenly seemed to awaken, covering her mouth in disbelief.

“I know.” Wen Nansen’s voice was calm, his gaze seemingly carrying the power to see through hearts, “I’m sorry that my presence hasn’t made you better, but instead, has caused you to harbor unrealistic jealousy towards her.”

“In my eyes, no one compares to her.” Wen Nansen brought back the girl who was trying to sneak away to steal the lobster, holding her hand, casting one last glance before turning away.

“However, before you said that, I never compared her to anyone.”

His words were too gentle, yet too blunt, too cruel.

Director Liu was left speechless, unable to muster the strength to chase after him, pinned to the ground by his final glance.

It seemed only now did she truly see Wen Nansen… realizing beneath his meticulous and gentle facade was a kind of detachment, as if he stood apart from the world, compassionate yet aloof.

Like the high and distant moon, gently illuminating every night traveler, yet forever an observer, forever untouchable.

The immortal Spirit, witnessing human joys and sorrows, the ups and downs of the world, akin to the blooming and withering of flowers, the thriving and withering of grass and trees.

He cares, yet not so much.

How could there be such a person?

The man’s back receded, lifting the hem of his light-colored trench coat, as he lowered his head to support the girl, his actions both cherishing and cautious, blending into the hazy atmosphere of fireworks.

He sees through the indifference of the world, yet also possesses an unwavering deep affection.

At the main table, Chairman Chang of Xinghe Media, the only one present who knew Wen Nansen’s identity, watched as the man supported the blonde girl and walked over, his face turning pale as he stood up.

Those around him felt a chill, but as the Chairman stood, they too followed suit, standing up.

What was going on? A seemingly unknown foreign employee walked over, and the entire company’s leadership stood up!

The small employee walked over, speaking gently, “I need a seat.”

Chairman Chang hurriedly said, “Of course, take my seat, quickly, clear my place!” Unable to wait for the staff, he clumsily gathered up his cup and chopsticks.

Those around exchanged bewildered glances, dumbfounded.

The Chairman not only stood up but also gave up the main seat at the table!

The small employee helped the small reporter sit down.

The small employee ordered the Chairman to do something!

The small reporter vomited into the Chairman’s bowl!!!

The Chairman not only didn’t mind but also showed a smile of “It’s my honor for you to vomit in my bowl” and “It’s truly a shame my bowl isn’t big enough.”

The scene suddenly became bizarre and unfathomable.

Countless eyes focused from afar on the girl at the main seat.

How could her status fluctuate so wildly! What was her background exactly!!!

Wen Nansen, seeing her look better after vomiting, served her a bowl of porridge, saying calmly, “I’ve never liked the drinking culture in China.”

Chairman Chang couldn’t be more clear: “Yes, indeed, the dinner is for eating, not drinking. Rest assured, I will address this immediately! Such negative behavior must not be allowed to spread.”

The entire room fell silent, making Chairman Chang’s words stand out even more.

The dozen or so people who had been urging Xu Xining to drink turned pale, and those pretending to be drunk instantly sobered up, unable to even sit still.

Xu Xining, after being fed a couple of spoonfuls of porridge by Wen Nansen, suddenly brightened up and waved at Chairman Chang.

Internally, Chairman Chang was thinking, please don’t make things difficult for me, but he quickly crouched down and asked, “What’s up?”

Xu Xining’s cheeks were flushed, her eyes sparkling mischievously like a cunning little fox: “Boss, have you ever seen Teacher Wen dance to a girl group song?”

Chairman Chang: “…No.” He didn’t dare.

Xu Xining tapped on her phone, bent over under the table, and whispered mysteriously, “I’ll share it with you, just don’t let Nansen see.”

Chairman Chang: “…”

Sister, you are my dear sister, is it possible that President Wen is sitting right next to you, holding a bowl and staring at me?! Do you think just bending over means others can’t see you?!

Xu Xining had already pulled up the video and shoved it in Chairman Chang’s face.

Chairman Chang steeled himself and used his life-saving skill-cross-eyed.

For the entire minute and a half of the video, Chairman Chang remained cross-eyed, and when he stood up, he sincerely explained to Wen Nansen, “I didn’t watch.”

Wen Nansen seemed to be in a better mood, with a kind of indulgence in his eyes that allowed her to do whatever she wanted: “It’s okay, she’s shown it to many people.”

Chairman Chang: “…” But that’s a girl group dance!? Is it really okay for such a black history to spread like this?

Wen Nansen chuckled again: “She recorded it for me herself.”

Chairman Chang: Is that the point?!

Wen Nansen said, “She recorded it well, didn’t she?”

Chairman Chang: …

Is it an illusion?

It seemed like he was showing off.

The next day, Wen Nansen’s identity spread like wildfire throughout Pianyu Media.

Chairman Chang and Director Rong finally understood; previously, Wen Nansen didn’t want to make it public, so they tried their best to keep it under wraps for him. Last night, it was clear Wen Nansen no longer wanted to hide it, so they simply announced it to the world.

No more pretending, Wen Nansen is the top boss of Pianyu Media, Xinghe Culture, and even the Tianmu Group! The big, big boss!

This news was like a bomb, leaving the entire news department in ruins.

Xu Xining indeed drank too much yesterday, even to the point of vomiting, her memories hazy. She only remembered Teacher Wen saying that after drinking, she couldn’t eat seafood, taking away her Australian lobster, feeding her lots of porridge, and finally carrying her back.

Her stomach felt warm, curled up drowsily under an overcoat, with a pleasant citrus scent at her nose, and the cool touch of a trench coat against her cheek.

And, a scene of a man she didn’t recognize, squatting in front of her, stubbornly cross-eyed.

…

How did this scene come about? It doesn’t make sense, right? It must be a dream, right? Definitely, right!

Xu Xining, with a hangover-clouded mind, rushed to the company.

When she opened WeChat, the messages bombarded her phone to the point of freezing it.

As Xu Xining read through them, she suddenly became alert!

No wonder all her colleagues were secretly looking at her along the way… She thought it was because she drank too much yesterday and her face was swollen like a pig’s head today.

Teacher Wen is the big boss?

The one who didn’t even want eighty billion?!

The big boss she claimed she would devote her body and soul to?!

Wait, she knew Teacher Wen was wealthy, but this wealthy?

She originally thought Teacher Wen changed careers out of the same love for the news industry as her, but now it seems the whole company is his. Why on earth did he come to be this editor?!

Could it be for her?

Could it?

Could it not?

Xu Xining’s mind was a jumble.

Yu Yuanyuan sent her dozens of messages:

[I’ve figured it out, Xu is your surname, wealth is your destiny, you’re born with gold in your five elements, and none of the men chasing you are poor.]

[I support Editor Wen, he’s a good person, I also support Xie Yi, he’s my idol, and I support Huo Ting, he’s my sponsor.]

[Princess Xixi, I sincerely suggest you take all three.]

[Zhao-Ge from the Information Engineering Department listed all the assets of Editor Wen that can be found online, wow, it’s endless.]

[Wen Nansen Asset Summary.doc]

[One of them might interest you, I asked Zhao-Ge to find more detailed information… Come look!!! /Dragon Roar]

Xu Xining opened the summary… It really was endless, with one line thoughtfully marked in red by Yu Yuanyuan.

“Strange Lemon Candy Factory”

Xu Xining was stunned, then looked further down at the small print.

“Due to its peculiar taste and lack of market, the Strange Lemon Candy factory faced a financial crisis, ultimately unable to continue operations, and declared bankruptcy.”

Xu Xining remembered, there was a year when she suddenly couldn’t buy Lemon Candy anymore, she went to several supermarkets, worried like a smoker trying to quit.

Did she complain to Wen Nansen? She couldn’t remember.

“Seven years ago, Wen Nansen acquired the Strange Lemon Candy factory, supplying major distributors nationwide at below-cost prices, bearing an annual loss of twenty million, and has continued operations to this day.”

Following this was Zhao-Ge’s note to Yu Yuanyuan: “No wonder the company break room is stocked with this crappy stuff. Don’t say you don’t get it; I don’t get it either. Why on earth would he run a business at a loss?”

“Besides,” Zhao-Ge added, “Strange Lemon Candy is really damn awful! No wonder it went bankrupt.”

Upon reading this, Xu Xining couldn’t help but loudly retort in her mind, “Ridiculous! How is it awful? Such poor taste! Is Strange Lemon Candy just lemon candy? It’s a masterpiece in the world of lemon candies!”

Then she fell silent, recalling a seemingly insignificant moment from spring when they went fishing, and Wen Nansen brought her some stuffed gummies she had never seen before…

A new product not yet on the market, which he wanted her to try first.

Xu Xining felt as if her heart was stuffed with a heavy, water-soaked cotton ball, swelling with a sour ache.

-Seven years ago, the year she first met Teacher Wen.

To be honest, she knew she was being somewhat unreasonable about the mint issue. When Wen Nansen first met her, he thought she liked the same things as Eileen and gifted her various famous artworks, flowers, and Mint Tea.

She didn’t say she disliked them because Old Xu had told her that expressing dislike for a gift in person was impolite.

Moreover, she had liked Wen Nansen from the start, so she cherished whatever he gave her like a treasure.

It was Wen Nansen who gradually noticed her preferences, like on the day of her graduation defense when they dined with Professor Zheng. Wen Nansen didn’t need to ask her before ordering dishes she liked from the menu, just as he anticipated her desire for revenge ice-eating the day after a hangover and cleared out the ice from the fridge in advance.

When she saw the photo in the pocket watch, it stung her eyes, and she couldn’t help but throw a tantrum.

In truth, she hoped Teacher Wen would refute her.

At that moment, she had a subtle feeling, wanting to hear Wen Nansen enumerate all the things he had done for her, to see Teacher Wen frown because of her unreasonable behavior, to hear him say, “Can’t you see what I’ve done for you? Can’t you feel my affection? How can you deny everything I’ve done, deny the five years between us?”

She said many excessive things, like accusing him of treating her as a stand-in, claiming he never cared about what she liked, questioning whether he saw her or Eileen when he looked at her, and even telling him to go to hell with Eileen if he liked her so much.

But he said nothing, including about the lemon candy factory.

Perhaps deep down, she had known from the start that Wen Nansen cared about her. It was precisely because she knew that she hurt him recklessly, hoping he would hurt more than she did because her heart was in pain.

What she didn’t know was how much he cared for her.

…

Ah, Teacher Wen.

Xu Xining lay on the table with a troubled expression, subconsciously reaching into her pocket for a lemon candy, popping it into her mouth to chew. When she realized what she was doing, her expression became even more troubled.

She had to clarify things with Wen Nansen, or perhaps be more direct and drag him to see a psychologist.

She thought for a moment, opened her phone, and found the surveillance app…

Time to recharge with a Good Man.

What can solve worries? Only a fox!

Xu Xining opened the app, suddenly feeling blinded, sat up straight, rubbed her eyes, leaned closer, and looked again.

Damn!

Damn, damn, damn!!!

In her home! At this very moment! There was a! Naked! Man!

Like a bolt from the blue, Xu Xining’s mind exploded with a bang.

She couldn’t be mistaken. Under the lens even clearer than ordinary surveillance, there was a naked man with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and a perky butt. But even if he were an international model, why was he in her home! And why! Was he not wearing clothes!!

The man stood lazily with bent legs, his limbs long and graceful, fiddling with his hair in front of the bookshelf mirror, examining his body, chest, thighs, arms, and then slowly turned sideways…

Xu Xining held her breath.

She zoomed in with her fingers, closer, and closer.

On the screen appeared Xie Yi’s handsome and devilish face.

The next second, the girl jumped up like a madwoman, grabbing her bag and phone, rushing out of her cubicle like an angry rhino, bursting into Wen Nansen’s office and shouting, “I need a leave, approve my leave!” Then, under Teacher Wen’s astonished gaze, she dashed out the door. Even far away, her colleagues could hear her unleashing a rare torrent of profanity in the elevator lobby.

Xu Xining: You might not believe it, but I have reasons for cursing.

My ex illegally broke into my house in broad daylight.

And then, streaked around my home.
