Chapter: 3114
Charlie Wade was worried that Xiao Churan would bring up the same concerns again, so he quickly added, “And my wife, you need to remember that wealthy people have their own social circle. If you offend someone in that circle, it could lead to problems for us. It’s hard for me to stop all business in this area.”
Xiao Churan wanted to argue, thinking that if her company improved, Charlie could reduce his Feng Shui business. But after hearing him, she decided to hold back her thoughts and said with a sigh, “Husband, just be careful, okay?”
Charlie smiled and nodded, replying, “Don’t worry, wife, I will.”
Xiao Churan smiled back and said, “It’s late. Let’s go to bed.”
“Sure!” Charlie replied.
Later that night, while Charlie and Xiao Churan were asleep, a woman quietly stepped outside in the large courtyard of the Song family villa. It was already 1:30 in the morning, but Nanako Ito was wide awake. She walked to the yard, found a dry spot, and sat cross-legged, gazing at the stars.
The recent concert by Gu Qiuyi had left a strong impression on her. She couldn’t shake off the emotions and excitement from the night. For the first time, Nanako witnessed her idol’s passion and courage, which made her admire Gu Qiuyi even more.
After the concert, she kept thinking about it, feeling a strong intuition that Gu Qiuyi’s heartfelt words during the performance were meant for Charlie Wade, the man she had loved for a long time. However, she couldn’t fully grasp her feelings.
Nanako Ito sat in the quiet yard, feeling puzzled. She had heard bits and pieces about Charlie Wade’s life but didn’t know much. She knew he was an orphan who grew up in the Jinling Welfare Institute and later became part of the Jinling Xiao family. His story seemed ordinary, even a bit tragic.
Yet, she couldn’t understand how Charlie transformed from a simple son-in-law to a respected figure known as the Dragon Leaf Master in Jinling. What amazed her even more was his incredible strength and the existence of a miraculous rejuvenation pill he possessed. The contrast between being a son-in-law and a powerful figure left her confused, and she struggled to see the connection between the two.
Just then, Song Wanting entered the yard and walked over to her. With a smile, she asked, “Nanako, why are you still awake so late?”
Nanako looked back and replied, “I can’t sleep, Sister Wanting. How about you?”
Song Wanting shrugged and smiled. “Same here.”
Nanako grinned knowingly and added, “It must be because of Charlie Wade!”
Song Wanting was taken aback for a moment, then smiled with a hint of nostalgia. “Looks like we both have the same reason for being awake.”
Nanako nodded and shared her thoughts openly. “I’m wondering if the Prince Charming that Gu Qiuyi talked about at the concert tonight is actually Charlie Wade.”
Song Wanting’s eyes widened as she exclaimed, “That’s exactly what I was thinking! Even though I have no proof, I can’t shake off the idea. I’ve been suspicious about it too!”
Nanako Ito was surprised that Song Wanting decided to join her. She quickly said, “Sister Wanting, you’ve been living in Jinling and have known Charlie Wade for a long time. Can you tell me about his past?”
