Chapter 1431: Absolutely Insane
Bai Ling said, "It's really crazy, just completely insane."
Mao Xuejing softly asked Bai Ling while holding her hand, "How are things developing between you and Zhenfei? Does Zhenfei have any other girlfriends back home?"
Bai Ling felt her mind was in a bit of a mess, unsure how she should process it all.
It was like someone from ancient times who always thought the earth was flat, and then one day someone showed him a picture of the globe, making him realize he was living on a sphere.
Even though she knew the truth, it would take her a long time to fully understand it because it completely overturned her worldview.
Bai Ling shook her head hard and said, "I might need a moment to calm down. You guys keep chatting; I'm going to my room," Bai Ling walked back to her room after saying this.
Mao Xuejing was a bit stunned and said, "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "It's not that. It's just that what she heard today was completely opposite to what she thought, so she needs some time alone."
Zhang Bin laughed, his gaze conveying a meaning that only he and Ling Zhenfei could understand.
The three of them chatted for a while. Then Zhang Bin also felt a bit redundant and went back to rest, leaving only Ling Zhenfei and Mao Xuejing.
Ling Zhenfei said, "I thought Zhang Bin would stay here forever. That guy's something else."
Mao Xuejing said, "Don't blame him; he hasn't found a girlfriend yet."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Given Zhang Bin's status now, it shouldn't be hard for him to find a girlfriend."
Mao Xuejing said, "You think everyone's like you? Come on, honestly, how many girls like Bai Ling do you have around you? Wouldn't every girl I meet feel like they've seen an enemy or something?"
Ling Zhenfei laughed, "What do you mean when you say seeing you is like seeing an enemy? They're all very gentle and sensible."
Mao Xuejing said, "Didn't you see Bai Ling's demeanor earlier? Right from the first word, she was telling me that her relationship with Zhang Bin wasn't ordinary, as if I couldn't hear it."
Ling Zhenfei said, "That's just how she is, like most girls, not wanting any other girls around me, almost as if every girl near me is going to steal me away."
Mao Xuejing said, "How did I do just now?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Very well, very sensible, showcasing your upbringing."
Mao Xuejing said, "Everyone has some possessiveness. Who doesn't want to own something? But it's only when you recognize your own position and realize that thing isn't originally yours, having it for a minute or just a part is already a very fortunate thing.
When you think this way, you'll have less possessiveness because knowing you can't have something all to yourself means you won't feel so unhappy. Just having a part of it is already very joyful."
Ling Zhenfei thought Mao Xuejing truly had great wisdom, realizing being a princess wasn't something easily achieved.
The two chatted for a long time before returning to their rooms to rest. After breakfast the next morning, Mao Xuejing had many arrangements, so Ling Zhenfei stayed behind with Mao Xuejing's people and those in charge from Huaxia to discuss the final contract details.
Although Bai Ling was always around Ling Zhenfei, her face didn't look very good. Clearly, she couldn't digest such matters all at once.
This was why Ling Zhenfei, after telling Bai Ling everything, still intended to keep Bai Ling as a friend.
Some women might eventually understand, but some might never grasp it, and some women will always think it's impossible.
Just like Lin Yuluo, who has been like this since she was young. Even though Ling Zhenfei saved her from Moergawa, she couldn't accept any other woman around Ling Zhenfei.
So Lin Yuluo left, and Ling Zhenfei had no way to keep her or the right to try, so he let her go.
But Bai Ling is different from Lin Yuluo. Back then, Bai Ling's two older brothers certainly warned her about this matter.
They even took Bai Ling on a trip to make her forget about Ling Zhenfei, but unfortunately, Bai Ling still came back.
Outstanding people are always unforgettable. Although Bai Ling is excellent and not willing to settle, she naturally gets upset when there are other women around.
But it's precisely this unwillingness to settle that makes Bai Ling compare any other man she finds to Ling Zhenfei.
But which boy in reality can compare to Ling Zhenfei?
In terms of appearance, medical arts, or achievements, compared to Ling Zhenfei, they're far inferior.
People aren't perfect, so everyone has flaws. Ling Zhenfei's flaw is he can't refuse, and he's slightly indulged in admiring looks, unable to resist any woman drawn to him.
So Bai Ling must be very conflicted now. Ling Zhenfei has clearly told Bai Ling there are other women around him, so asking Ling Zhenfei to abandon all other women and only have Bai Ling is impossible.
However, if Ling Zhenfei doesn't give up any woman, there will be many women around, making Bai Ling uncomfortable. So Bai Ling is currently in a dilemma, a dead-end road.
Adding Mao Xuejing's performance yesterday further stirred overwhelming waves in Bai Ling's heart.
Ling Zhenfei called Chen Qian and Ma Long to consult them on how to draw up the contract to maximize their benefits. These two wise friends kept giving him advice, so the contract was drafted very quickly.
When everything was done, it was already afternoon, and time flew by.
That night, Mao Xuejing finally had some free time. Tomorrow she would return, so Ling Zhenfei decided to treat them to a meal. This time they would dine out.
Ling Zhenfei even invited Ma Long; it would've been better if Chen Qian could have made it.
Since Xi Shan Restaurant hadn't opened yet, the location was chosen at a hotel owned by Ma Long, a quite tasteful place.
It's called West City No.9. Walking in, it looks like a traditional Capital City courtyard. From the outside, it's quite unremarkable, but inside, the decor is exquisite.
Although Ling Zhenfei is a prince now, he hasn't stayed in such a place before.
The whole place was booked by Ma Long to host Mao Xuejing, Zhang Bin, and the others.
At the dinner table, Ma Long was very excited. Regardless of his special status and wealth, having the chance to dine and drink with a princess is not easy.
During the meal, Ling Zhenfei talked about the afternoon's contract, and Ma Long mentioned their plans.
The plan to actively participate in infrastructure, like setting up restaurants near the coast, as that area is bound to become a prime tourist spot in the future.
