Chapter 3655 Ye Ziyu's Persuasion
"Whoosh-"

"Whoosh~"

The cold wind outside the window carried a sharp whistling sound. Feeling comfortable and satisfied, Zhao Chang'an moved a little away from Ye Ziyu and reached out to kindly help her tidy her messy clothes, but she pinched him hard in return.

Neither of them dared to speak, and they both tacitly lowered their breathing, afraid of waking Ye Yiyi, which would be too embarrassing.

Ye Ziyu quietly straightened her clothes in the darkness, turned around and faced Zhao Chang'an instead of her back, glaring at him angrily.

Although it was pitch black in the room, she could see Zhao Chang'an's eyes shining like stars in the darkness, and she knew that he, who had practiced the Gentleman's Unassuming Way, could clearly see the feigned 'anger' on her face.

The two looked at each other silently in the darkness. Because their faces were less than ten centimeters apart, they shared the air they breathed. A bittersweet feeling, which made Ye Ziyu's heart race, suddenly arose and then overflowed in her heart.

This strange feeling made her breathing quicken again. Zhao Chang'an quietly pulled her into his arms, lowered his head and gently kissed her tear-streaked face, her little mouth and eyes, comforting her.

As a seasoned pro, he knew that the woman's heart was complicated and vulnerable at this time, and she needed her lover to give her all kinds of sweet words and even vows of eternal love.

"You've really put me in a difficult position. A gentleman is not a vessel. I've heard that no girl can escape this curse, except for those old women who have been with men for a long time and are experienced in love. Only they can resist it."

Ye Ziyu lowered her voice and complained to Zhao Chang'an, "You'll be truly cruel to me after you turn thirty!"

"As for Ye Pingbai's female secretaries, it seems they haven't been affected at all. After leaving Ye Pingbai, they all went into business, opened shops, got married, had children, and are living quite comfortably?"

Zhao Chang'an also lowered his voice and put his mouth to Ye Ziyu's little ear to ask. Seeing that her pink little ear was as cute as if it had been dyed with rouge, he couldn't help but open his mouth and put it in his mouth.

Ye Ziyu's body stiffened again, then her whole body went limp as she reached out and pinched Zhao Chang'an hard.

"You think my grandfather won my grandmother's heart? At the time, he was lame in one leg and half of his face was disfigured by a fire. She needed to write a thesis for her college graduation, and my grandfather took a few friends into the mountains to collect herbs. She went with them. Before going, she only regarded my grandfather as an older brother with a pitiful background but great ability and self-reliance. A week later, she came back and became my grandmother. She loved my grandfather so much that she was willing to break with her family."

"And then there's Ye Pingbai. He was quite the ladies' man when he was young, but he reached the second level at the age of thirty. After reaching the second level, he lost that ability and was replaced by other abilities. Moreover, he lost interest in matters of love and sex because the nerves in that area became dull and numb. Within a year or two, the outer nerves completely atrophied. However, one must reach the second level at the age of thirty. Either one must abandon one's ancient martial arts techniques and age overnight, barely surviving for a few more years, or one's body will rapidly deform and die within a year."

Zhao Chang'an was taken aback by Ye Ziyu's words; it was the first time he had ever heard of such a thing.

Previously, he had only heard Wen Ye say that after the age of fifty, the body's bones would become severely deformed due to the inability to withstand the powerful internal expansion force of this ancient martial arts method, making it difficult to live past sixty. Moreover, he had personally witnessed Old Man Li's ankylosing spondylitis.

According to Ye Ziyu, let alone after fifty, even seven years later, at thirty, it will be a hurdle!

"My grandfather entered the second level of Buddhism after marrying my grandmother, when he was almost thirty-one. Five years later, my grandmother became depressed and went to Taiwan to become a nun. She died far from home a few years later. My grandfather was a relatively responsible man. As for Ye Pingbai, he caused a lot of suffering to women. After he turned thirty, all of these women—alas, except for his wife, all of them suffered various misfortunes. His wife was also unfortunate. She used to be a virtuous lady from a prestigious family, but she became a gambler, an alcoholic, and had countless lovers. She only slowly died down when she reached menopause."

"Although Ye Pingbai frequently changes female secretaries, the specific reasons are probably only known to him and his third grandfather. I suspect he doesn't actually feel anything; he just needs a kind of mental stimulation and pleasure. It seems the White Dragon King improved the pills and techniques many years ago, compressing the first and second layers together to avoid the indulgence of the first layer. Of course, their purpose wasn't that. It was to overcome the cycle of transformation at forty, decay at fifty, and annihilation at sixty. However, this also made those who cultivated it somewhat eccentric and neurotic." "I'm saying all this because I hope you'll invest in your third grandfather's research institute. They've conducted research in this area for over forty years and achieved certain results, such as avoiding the curse of transformation at forty, decay at fifty, and annihilation at sixty. And I suspect that Ye Pingbai's reason for changing a flirtatious female secretary every year is also some kind of test."

Ye Ziyu pressed her pretty face against Zhao Chang'an's chest, listening to his powerful heartbeat.

Zhao Chang'an suddenly understood why Wen Ye was willing to at least temporarily put aside past grievances and let him accept Ye Pinghe's invitation to visit the research institute.

If we take fifty years old as the dividing line, he would have plenty of time to slowly build a research institute for him and Wenye. However, he was only given seven years.

Even if we start building now, it may not be possible to reach the current level of research and development depth in seven years.

Zhao Chang'an lowered his head and kissed Ye Ziyu, saying to her, "Trust me."

"Anyway, when that time really comes, I can't be like Ye Pingbai's wife. I have to be like my grandmother. Just consider it as something that was useful, and ask for nothing more."

Ye Ziyu closed her eyes, wrapped her arms tightly around Zhao Chang'an, pressed one thigh against his, and placed the other leg on top of his.

Feeling a bit agitated, Zhao Chang'an whispered to Ye Ziyu, "Are you still capable?"

Ye Ziyu was stunned for a moment, then pinched Zhao Chang'an's arm in surprise and shyness, making a sound as soft as a mosquito's buzz: "You can let go, but you can't move around or cause trouble."

"I guarantee it with my integrity."

Zhao Chang'an spoke with righteous indignation.

Watching Ye Ziyu fall into a deep sleep, Zhao Chang'an was wide awake and couldn't help but think back to that spring in his freshman year when Wen Ye gave him a box of pills.

Unlike the White Dragon King, who only gave Ye Ping 113 pills.

He told me about the origins and grudges of this family of traditional Chinese medicine martial arts practitioners, which spans more than two hundred years, as well as the backlash against this martial art.

"Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown," and Zhao Chang'an has never regretted his choice.

Without this, becoming a wealthy man would be easy for him, but to change and shake up the world like this would be nothing short of a pipe dream.

Just like Wen Ye, who was aware of this side effect, he still chose to practice without hesitation and quickly skipped the "gentleman does not use tools" stage and entered the "gentleman hides his tools" stage.
