Transmigrated as the Stepmother of a Rebellious Heir-Chapter 175 - 110 Waiting for You

Shu Wan pondered for a moment, then set down her things and followed the staff member upstairs.

After turning several corners, in an elegant room, Shu Wan encountered the person she had expected to see.

Xiao Yan. freewebnoveℓ.com

He was dressed in a black shirt, his androgynous features emanating a hint of wickedness, making the otherwise solemn decor seem less serious.

Hearing footsteps, Xiao Yan looked up, his peach blossom eyes lifting slightly in an arc, "Wanwan."

"....." Shu Wan furrowed her brows subconsciously, "It seems we are not that familiar with each other."

"Last time we met, you said I could call you Shu Wan. Today is our fourth meeting, so I don’t think calling you Wanwan is excessive," Xiao Yan said with a smile, "Come sit."

"What did you need me for?"

"It’s nothing serious, just wanted to ask how you’ve considered the matter from last time?" Xiao Yan handed Shu Wan a cup of tea, "Since you’re keen on choosing a major in pharmacology, we could collaborate."

"Seventy-thirty," Shu Wan neither outright rejected Xiao Yan this time but instead proposed a profit-sharing ratio.

Seeing Shu Wan relent, Xiao Yan’s smile deepened, "That’s acceptable."

"I meant seventy for me, thirty for you," Shu Wan added.

Xiao Yan’s expression paused momentarily, his eyes narrowed, shining with shrewdness, "Wanwan, your appetite seems a bit too large."

The seventy-thirty ratio Shu Wan had mentioned was out of the question in a normal business partnership.

After all, Xiao Yan was backed by the largest healthcare conglomerate in the world, while Shu Wan at the moment was nothing more than a student who had yet to attend college.

If it weren’t for Xiao Yan’s somewhat abnormal trust in Shu Wan, he wouldn’t have been sitting at the negotiation table with her at all.

So, when Shu Wan suggested a seventy-thirty split in her favor, even Xiao Yan found it rather unreasonable.

"Then let’s not talk about it," Shu Wan didn’t say much more and changed the subject, "This tea is quite nice."

Xiao Yan also realized that they wouldn’t reach an agreement today. He leaned back in his chair, tapping his fingers lightly on the armrest, his gaze fixed on Shu Wan.

Xiao Yan had fought his way up through the cutthroat world of business, meeting countless people, but Shu Wan was an exception.

She possessed a power that instantly steadied people around her.

Even though she was at present no more than a prospective college student, she gave Xiao Yan the impression that she could create an earth-shattering business if she wished.

Yet contradictorily, despite being such a formidable woman, when you were with her, time seemed to quiet down.

At that moment, Shu Wan wore a plain colored long dress, her hair tied at the back of her head, revealing her slender neck.

She looked down slightly, blowing on the tea leaves in the cup. Her curled lashes fluttered gently like a little brush, unwittingly stroking the heartstrings.

"If you like, you can come over for tea often," Xiao Yan said, sending a message to his subordinate, "I’ve already made arrangements; whenever you come by, you’ll have tea to drink."

Shu Wan took a sip of the tea, "There’s no need for President Xiao to spend more thought on me since we can’t even agree on a partnership."

"The partnership is off the table," Xiao Yan’s eyes held a trace of cunning, "But what about a romance?"

"....."

Perhaps because Xiao Yan always had a reckless and unrestrained demeanor, Shu Wan had deemed his previous behaviors as nonsense.

But now, it was clear that Xiao Yan had overstepped a boundary.

Although many modern ideals are quite liberal, Shu Wan didn’t think they could be so liberal as this.

"It seems you’re not very well-informed; I’m already married."

"Divorce is a matter of signing a few papers, three minutes tops," Xiao Yan said with a smile, his gaze intently focused on Shu Wan, "Think about it."

"I’m not entertaining the thought at the moment."

Even if a divorce was certain in the future, Fu Siyu was a decent business partner for now, and Shu Wan had no intention of leaving yet.

"Then let me know as soon as you do," Xiao Yan said and suddenly stood up, approaching Shu Wan closely.

He undoubtedly possessed a stunning exterior. If anyone else were looked at from such a close distance by him, they probably couldn’t resist.
