Fu Ying reiterated the key point, “She’s easily softhearted towards the people she truly cares about.”
It was as if he had unraveled a mystery.
Yet, Xie Shang’s first reaction was, “Does she care about me?”
Fu Ying was surprised.
“That unconfident, Mr. Xie?”
Objectively speaking, Xie Shang was highly favored by the heavens, with a superior appearance, an impressive family background, and top-notch capabilities. It was astonishing that such a favored son of the heavens felt so insecure in matters of the heart.
Fu Ying did not spell it out but offered advice, “Changling isn’t one to fall for someone easily. She doesn’t love money, she isn’t about appearances, but she remembers acts of kindness. She keeps every single one in mind, so you need to treat her well, consistently well, shower her with love, make her heart soft, make her unable to let go.” Fu Ying paused to think, then added, “Persistent wooing, playing the pity card, such tactics are effective on Changling.”
Of course, they are effective under the premise that the person is someone Wen Changling cares about.
Xie Shang was lost in the game, but to Fu Ying, it was clear. As independent as Wen Changling was, she would never allow anyone close unless she was very dependent on them, unless she really cared.
“Why help me?”
“I wish for her happiness more than you do.” The blessings Wen Changling awarded, Fu Ying wished to bestow them as well, “You should be good to her, get married, have children, and live to a ripe old age.”

Gu Kaiyun followed his teacher to a free clinic, leaving some materials for Gu Yihuan to pass on to Xie Shang. After work, Xie Shang went to Gu Yihuan’s bar.
“The stuff’s in my car, fourth brother, wait here for a bit, I’ll go get it.”
Gu Yihuan went to fetch the materials, while Xie Shang found a spot at the bar and sat down.
Bartender Nick was quite familiar with Xie Shang, “What’ll you have?”
“Just a glass of water.”
Nick provided Xie Shang with a glass of warm water.
“Thank you.”
Xie Shang sat and waited.
The lights were bright, and the nightlife was just beginning.
Xie Shang was undoubtedly the center of attention, despite doing nothing.
He had just come from KE, dressed in a coat and black trousers, looking very proper and wearing a pair of low-prescription glasses. His composed and elegant demeanor clashed with the boisterous, warm atmosphere of the bar, like a calm oasis of collected coolness. He sat at the bar, relaxed and at ease, sipping on water, seemingly uninterested in anything, his gaze occasionally sweeping over the crowd without lingering on anyone.
Many ladies watched him, but no one approached him.
Because both his attire and his demeanor signaled one message: he’s not easy to approach, forming a connection with him would be very difficult.
Gu Yihuan returned.
He handed Xie Shang a sealed document envelope, “Here.”
As Xie Shang was opening it, Gu Yihuan couldn’t help but glance over, “What’s in there? My brother said it was sent from overseas.”
Gu Kaiyun had a friend teaching at Kim Chowton University, who pulled some strings to check on Wen Changling’s overseas academic record.
Ling:
At sixteen, she received the Huang Youkun Scholarship, went to Chevalier, and enrolled in the Physics Department at Kim Chowton University.
At eighteen, she was chosen to join GFI Physics Laboratory, the only foreign physics engineer at the time. After dropping out from Kim Chowton University’s Physics Department, her teacher, Huang Youkun, recommended her to the Lantu University of Science and Technology to study Computer Science.
If Huang Youkun was Wen Changling’s first patron, then Meng Heshan was her second. Meng Heshan was a close friend of Huang Youkun’s, a leading figure in computer science, and also one of the founders of the Tipcoo Group (Tipcoo Group).
Two years later, Wen Changling joined Tipcoo Company as Chief Technology Officer of the group’s headquarters, the youngest CTO since the establishment of Tipcoo.
The document was all in foreign languages.
Though Gu Yihuan was surrounded by academic prodigies, many of whom had studied abroad, he regretted to say he was the weak link: his foreign language abilities were subpar. He glanced over but did not understand a word.
“What does it say?” Gu Yihuan was curious, and even though he couldn’t comprehend, he eagerly leaned over to look.
Xie Shang closed the document.
But sharp-eyed Gu Yihuan still caught a glimpse of a thumbnail photo, a young photo of Wen Changling, her hair dyed a golden hue.
Confident, vibrant.
Xie Shang was a perfumer, having once crafted a fragrance with uncontainable volatility. The eighteen-year-old Wen Changling resembled that perfume, exuding a wildness and flamboyance that even a perfume bottle couldn’t contain.
She had reached the pinnacle, possessing talents and wisdom beyond the average person.
She should have shone brightly.
“Yihuan.”
Wang Yuanqing called Gu Yihuan over.
Gu Yihuan was deep in thought, considering how to help Xie Shang quickly move past his ex-girlfriend’s shadow, and did not hear Wang Yuanqing calling him.
Wang Yuanqing: “Gu Yihuan!”
Gu Yihuan: Should I set up a blind date for fourth brother? They say the best way to forget a relationship is to start a new one.
Wang Yuanqing came over and patted Gu Yihuan’s shoulder, “Calling you, are you deaf?”
Wang Yuanqing was close with Gu Yihuan, so such a comment wasn’t taken as an insult, just a bit of snark.
Gu Yihuan didn’t take it to heart, but he keenly noticed a change in Xie Shang’s expression.
Xie Shang looked at Wang Yuanqing with eyes calm as a flat sea, yet underneath hid a volatility as changeable and unpredictable as undercurrents.
Gu Yihuan felt the danger, an intangible oppressive force, “Fourth brother.”
At the moment, Xie Shang was emanating a fierce aura.
Wen Changling, who should have been shining brightly on top of the world, lost her hearing, lost her family.
Wang Yuanqing felt his heart race under Xie Shang’s gaze, assuming Xie Shang’s strong reaction was due to his protectiveness of Gu Yihuan, his half-brother from a different mother, and quickly tried to explain, “I was just joking.”
Gu Yihuan also helped to explain, “He was joking.” Pausing to read the room, “Fourth brother.”
Xie Shang withdrew his gaze, “Sorry.”
Deaf.
Xie Shang was particularly sensitive to that word.
Gu Yihuan wouldn’t egotistically think Xie Shang was upset over someone scolding him, which could only mean it was because of someone. On a whim, Gu Yihuan coined it as “The Wen Changling Effect.”
