Chapter 153 Decision
Dilraba was surprised to see Wang Xiucheng a few days later, but it was at her boss's house.
Could he and Sister Mi really be boyfriend and girlfriend?
No wonder Sister Mi's expression was so strange when I mentioned Wang Xiucheng's name.
She initially thought that her friend was mocking her.
Thinking about this, Dilraba suddenly felt a little disappointed.
Wang Xiucheng looked at Dilraba, whose eyes were glazed over and who seemed lost in thought, and felt somewhat helpless.
This woman really loves to wander the world.
I dared not delay any longer; it was already very late, and it would be disastrous if Yang Mi came back at this time.
So Wang Xiucheng went to the door, found his shoes and put them on. Just as he opened the door, Dilireba's voice rang out from behind him.
"Um, what's your relationship with Sister Honey?"
Wang Xiucheng did not answer.
He didn't know how to say it.
This woman has a problem with her thinking; she's already completely naked, yet she still asks this question.
What kind of relationship are you talking about?
Do you believe someone who repairs air conditioners?
"Who do you think is prettier, me or Honey?"
Seeing that Wang Xiucheng did not answer, Dilraba's voice rang out again.
Wang Xiucheng sighed and turned to look at Dilraba, whose face was flushed from drinking, sitting on the sofa.
"you are pretty."
Wang Xiucheng said this in Uyghur.
This was one of the few phrases he knew.
With a bang, the door slammed shut.
The room returned to silence, with only the faint sound of the television growing clearer.
Seemingly having finally heard a satisfactory answer, Dilraba, who had stood up, plopped down on the sofa.
Dilireba blushed as she picked up her coat, which Wang Xiucheng had just surrounded, and resumed her daydreaming.
It was already dark when Wang Xiucheng finally arrived at the main road outside the residential area after walking for a while.
Just as he was about to call a car back to the hotel, a red Lamborghini suddenly stopped beside Wang Xiucheng from a distance.
Before Wang Xiucheng could react, the car door opened, and Yang Mi got out of the car and hugged Wang Xiucheng tightly.
"I knew it was you as soon as I turned the corner." Yang Mi's voice rang in Wang Xiucheng's ears with surprise.
Shanghai is, after all, one of the world's largest cities with a large population, so it's normal to see a person about two meters tall on the street.
But strangely enough, as soon as Yang Mi saw Wang Xiucheng, even though he was wearing a mask and a hat, she recognized her little man at a glance.
"Didn't I already verify it for you? Why didn't you wait for me at home?" Yang Mi thought Wang Xiucheng was deliberately standing here waiting for her, so she complained a little, "It's so cold at night. You're an athlete. If you catch a cold, I'll feel terrible."
Wang Xiucheng immediately realized the crux of the problem.
He couldn't admit that he was waiting for her, otherwise he couldn't explain why he knew she wasn't home when he didn't go to her house.
Of course, I can't say that I was just passing by, something even ghosts wouldn't believe.
That limits the options.
“I couldn’t sleep at the hotel and kept thinking about you, so I took a taxi here. But when I got here, I realized it was too late, and I was afraid that going to your place would disturb your rest,” Wang Xiucheng said softly, hugging Yang Mi back.
“Silly boy, you can come anytime. Even I am yours.” Yang Mi looked up at Wang Xiucheng’s beautiful jawline.
"Dare to call me stupid?" Wang Xiucheng chuckled wickedly. "Try saying it again later if you dare."
As if she had thought of something, Yang Mi's face immediately turned red: "Go downstairs and wait for me, I'll park the car first."
Wang Xiucheng breathed a sigh of relief.
That was close!
A few minutes later, Wang Xiucheng followed Yang Mi back to her home.
The moment the door opened, Yang Mi saw a high heel flying quite a distance away, along with a red handbag.
She knew immediately who had arrived.
Only Wang Xiucheng and Dilraba are allowed to enter this house.
However, Dilraba hasn't been here for at least two years.
The sound of the door opening startled Dilraba, who was sitting on the sofa holding her trench coat and lost in thought.
She thought Wang Xiucheng had come back.
So she turned around in a panic and found that Wang Xiucheng had actually come back.
She was just following Yang Mi.
"Reba, what brings you here?" Yang Mi asked in surprise.
"Um... Sister Mi, Binbin and I were feeling a bit unwell from drinking, so we came to your place since it was nearby and were thinking of staying here for the night," Dilraba said, blushing, glancing occasionally at Wang Xiucheng, who was making faces behind Yang Mi.
"If you can't drink, then don't drink so much. You're a girl, how can you love drinking so much?" Yang Mi complained.
"No, I don't usually drink, it's just that someone's having a birthday party today..."
Dilraba herself didn't know why she was explaining this, as if she was afraid someone would misunderstand.
"Oh, this is Wang Xiucheng." Yang Mi took Wang Xiucheng's hand without any hesitation.
Yang Mi looked at Wang Xiucheng: "That's Dilraba, you should both know who she is, right?"
"Hello, Sister Reba." Wang Xiucheng waved and smiled.
Dilraba was instantly stunned.
Just over ten minutes ago, this man was standing naked in front of me, rationally and calmly analyzing the current situation.
But now, he greets me with an innocent and harmless expression.
What kind of person is he?
Dilraba recalled the foreign gossip she had seen.
Even Taylor Swift was eyeing Wang Xiucheng covetously, but now Wang Xiucheng was standing in front of him, holding hands with his boss.
Whether it was due to the alcohol or not, Dilraba felt increasingly dizzy.
"Why are you daydreaming again?" Yang Mi pulled Wang Xiucheng to Dilireba's side and tapped her on the forehead.
"Oh, hello Wang Xiucheng." Dilraba belatedly reached out her hand this time.
The two shook hands lightly, and Wang Xiucheng even winked at Dilraba.
"You really can eat! So many snacks and drinks." Yang Mi's voice sounded somewhat displeased: "Don't cry if you get fat that day."
Dilraba looked aggrieved, glanced at Wang Xiucheng who was beaming with pride, and had no choice but to accept it.
"If you've been drinking, go to bed early. We're not going to take care of you anymore. Take care of yourself."
After saying this, Yang Mi pulled Wang Xiucheng into the house.
Dilraba was stunned for a long time.
Are you in such a hurry?
Even a fool would know what they're up to, but no matter what, I'm still here.
Could it be that Honey did this on purpose?
Is she doing this to tell me that my man is the ideal husband in your heart?
Don't try to get involved with him again.
Dilraba suddenly felt a little irritable.
She has always worked at Yang Mi's company, where she has a high degree of autonomy, but many people have privately advised her to go out on her own.
Many companies have offered her high salaries to poach her.
But she refused. Firstly, Yang Mi had been kind to her and she had been working for her for over ten years. Although they were boss and employee, their relationship was better than that of friends.
Secondly, Yang Mi's status in the industry has indeed shielded her from a lot of unnecessary trouble.
But if she could exchange all of that for a husband like Wang Xiucheng, Dilraba suddenly felt that it was all worth it.
Many seniors in this industry have told me that a woman will eventually get married and have children. You're already this old, are you still neglecting your own important life for the sake of your career?
Do I really have to wait until I'm old to shamelessly pursue someone just to get into a so-called wealthy family?
If that's the case, why not take action now?
An elder once said it right: one is a wealthy family in one's own right.
Thinking about this, Dilraba seemed to have made a decision.
If Sister Mi could pursue Wang Xiucheng, why couldn't I?
In Dilraba's opinion, it must have been Yang Mi who pursued Wang Xiucheng.
Otherwise, why would Wang Xiucheng be interested in her, an old woman who is nearly 40, divorced, and has children?
In what way can I not compare to her?
Isn't it because Wang Xiucheng was naive and acted too early?
At that moment, Dilraba had the first thought of rebelling against her boss for the sake of her own happiness.
With her clothes in hand, Dilraba returned to her guest room.
An hour later, Wang Xiucheng, still wearing his pajamas, opened the door a crack and looked outside.
Once he was sure no one was outside, he tiptoed out.
Yang Mi was already asleep behind him, exhausted.
Wang Xiucheng was really thirsty and wanted to go out to find some water.
When I opened the refrigerator in the kitchen, a blast of cold air rushed out.
Holding a bottle of water, Wang Xiucheng walked towards the room.
But suddenly a door opened, an arm reached out, and pulled him straight in.
"What are you doing?"
Wang Xiucheng immediately recognized the person as Dilraba.
"You're quite the actor, aren't you? You act all innocent and harmless." Dilraba said softly, blocking Wang Xiucheng behind the door.
"What else? Let her know about us?" Wang Xiucheng replied, inhaling the pleasant scent emanating from Dilraba.
Dilraba became a little anxious upon hearing this, "What's wrong with the two of us? We're completely fine."
"Nothing? Then what are you doing now?" Wang Xiucheng chuckled.
Dilraba's face immediately turned red.
Remembering what she had figured out before, she asked again, "Why do you like Sister Honey? Do you know she's divorced and has children?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiucheng fell into reminiscence, "I was playing in Los Angeles back then, just entering the league, all alone..."
As Dilraba listened, she gradually sensed Wang Xiucheng's loneliness.
It is indeed easy to feel lonely when you are in a foreign land thousands of miles away, and at this time it is easy for someone to break down your emotional defenses.
“She can’t marry you, you should know that,” Dilraba continued.
"Marriage?" Wang Xiucheng asked, somewhat surprised.
Neither I nor Yang Mi had ever thought of that.
"May I pursue you?"
Dilraba raised her head, her voice was very soft, but her face was already as red as an apple.
Wang Xiucheng was startled. You dare to say such a thing at Yang Mi's house? You really have a unique way of thinking.
"This is your boss's house." Wang Xiucheng looked outside. This place was a blind spot for the surveillance cameras, but if he didn't go back for a long time, something might happen.
“You didn’t answer my question.” Dilraba pressed closer, her pajamas almost touching Wang Xiucheng.
“No.” Wang Xiucheng shook his head.
Dilraba's expression suddenly changed, and her eyes filled with tears.
But Wang Xiucheng's next words made her laugh through her tears.
“I should be the one pursuing you.” Wang Xiucheng lowered his head, looked at her beautiful face, and went straight for the lips.
But a few seconds later, Dilraba, who was breathing rapidly, covered Wang Xiucheng's mouth.
"If you're with me, you won't be able to be with Sister Honey anymore. You should know that, right?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiucheng sighed, pounded his chest and stamped his feet, seemingly struggling greatly, before finally saying after a long while, "Of course I will choose you."
Upon hearing this, Dilraba finally smiled.
Just as Wang Xiucheng was about to kiss her again, Dilraba blocked him.
"You should go back now, Sister Mi will be looking for you soon."
After saying that, Dilraba pushed Wang Xiucheng out of the room and closed the door.
Wang Xiucheng was completely dumbfounded.
You're the one who pulled me in, and you're also the one who pushed me out.
Shaking his head helplessly, Wang Xiucheng took the water and returned to Yang Mi's room.
Standing behind the door, Dilraba was breathing rapidly; she felt her heart was about to jump out of her chest.
But she was smiling.
"Sorry, Honey, I've made you a lot of money over the years. This time, I'm going to take something from you for my own happiness."
"No, Wang Xiucheng isn't yours at all. You're not married. Yes, he's not yours."
Having thought of this, Dilraba nodded to herself, quite satisfied with her explanation.
……
May 25, Yanjing.
Ten o'clock in the morning.
Wang Xiucheng arrived at the General Administration of Sport by car.
This was his first time visiting this place.
The area surrounding the General Administration of Sport was packed with fans and reporters carrying cameras and microphones.
If it weren't for Uncle Hat maintaining order, these people would probably have rushed in long ago.
Tell Wu Di to drive slowly. When they arrived at the door, Wang Xiucheng opened the car window, and before he could say anything, he was allowed to pass.
He's here today because the teams competing in the Summer League are reporting for duty.
Once inside the courtyard, Wang Xiucheng got out of the car.
"It's Wang Xiucheng."
Someone outside shouted something, and cheers erupted instantly.
Gradually, the name "Wang Xiucheng" was shouted so loudly that it became deafening.
All the cameras were pointed at Wang Xiucheng in the courtyard.
Wang Xiucheng waved and, led by the person at the door, entered a building.
In fact, it's not just the teams competing in the Summer League that have been formed in the last few days.
The national team for the third window of the FIBA Basketball World Cup Asian Qualifiers has also been established.
What's puzzling is that this official national team isn't as popular as this summer league team, which is made up entirely of young players.
Wang Xiucheng arrived at a large conference room.
There were already seven or eight people in the conference room. Wang Xiucheng's appearance drew everyone's attention.
Then these young-looking people stood up and greeted Wang Xiucheng.
For them, Wang Xiucheng, who has been playing in the NBA for a year and has won multiple titles such as Rookie of the Year, All-Rookie First Team, All-Star Rookie Challenge MVP, and the most prestigious Slam Dunk Contest champion, is truly like an idol on TV.
They didn't experience the era when everyone watched Yao Ming's name.
But instead, they saw Wang Xiucheng.
Wang Xiucheng immediately responded with a smile and went over to hug everyone one by one.
Wang Xiucheng didn't shake hands, but instead gave a hug, which seemed more friendly.
Wang Xiucheng didn't want to appear aloof or superior.
Wang Xiucheng didn't know many of these people; he only knew Cui Yongxi, Yang Hansen, and Zhao Weilun.
These players are all very young, most of them are younger than Wang Xiucheng, and Yang Hansen and Zhao Weilun are only 17 years old.
Logically speaking, it's unlikely that someone of this age would be selected.
But this was something Wang Xiucheng specifically requested.
Considering that these two players are key players for next year's U19 World Cup, Yao Ming called them up to the training camp.
And these weren't the only two people Wang Xiucheng named.
There was another person, someone who had never even heard of Yao Ming.
