Suddenly, the two of them were plunged into an incredibly awkward atmosphere. Neither spoke a word. After a brief silence, Vivian Fang sat up, her body hunched over as she covered her face with both hands, and began to sob heartbreakingly, "Woo—woo—"
Shawn Young was completely stunned. He never expected Vivian Fang to react so strongly. His face flushed red, and he stammered beside her, "Uh—Aunt Vivian—you—you—what’s wrong? Please don’t cry! Did I do something wrong to upset you? I’m sorry—really—I—"
Vivian Fang suddenly looked up at his words, her beautiful phoenix eyes still streaming with tears. She sighed softly and asked Shawn, "Shawn Young, tell me—do you think I’m—am I just shameless because of my age? Am I really that lewd? That disgraceful—that I would—would end up in this kind of situation!"
Shawn was taken aback. He hadn’t even figured out what the slippery, clear liquid on his hand was, so he quickly shook his head and said, "No! No! No! I never thought you were that kind of person, Aunt Vivian! Besides, you—you just couldn’t hold your pee, right? There’s nothing to be ashamed of—"
"This isn’t pee—it’s—sigh—I don’t even know how to explain it—anyway, it’s something that only happens when a woman loses control of herself... Am I really that useless?!"
"Ah—oh—how could that be, Aunt Vivian? You’re so capable, and so beautiful! You built Harmony Realty Group into such a huge company all by yourself. Ordinary people can’t compare at all. How could you be useless? Don’t overthink it! I really admire you, from the bottom of my heart!" Shawn said sincerely.
"Sigh—you have no idea what kind of life I’ve lived all these years. In front of people, I look so glamorous, the successful businesswoman everyone admires. But no one knows how much sweat and sacrifice I’ve put in behind the scenes!" Vivian recalled, her voice tinged with sadness.
"Uh—I—I understand. For a woman to support a family and such a big company like Harmony Realty Group, that’s really not something ordinary women can do! These years, you—you’ve had it pretty tough," Shawn comforted her gently.
"Mm, exactly. Only I know what I’ve truly been through all these years. Ever since Yvonne’s father died in a car accident, I’ve raised her alone—a widow with a child, and a company on the verge of bankruptcy. There are just too many people out there coveting us, plotting against me and Harmony Realty Group!" Vivian said, her eyes red.
"Mm, hearing you say that, it really hasn't been easy..." Shawn Young sighed in sympathy.
"You know—being single isn’t actually that hard. What’s hard is dealing with all those people who try every trick to end your single status! Just handling those men alone has drained me. To keep the company running and survive in this cutthroat world, I had to shut down any illusions about men—made up my mind to compete with them head-on!" Vivian Fang said, full of resentment.
"Oh—uh—I—" Shawn Young was a bit embarrassed and at a loss for words. With Vivian Fang’s beauty and charm, it’s no wonder so many powerful men would covet her.
"I—I’m not talking about you. Sure, you’re a bit of a flirt, but not greedy like those other men. Their greed is like wolves and tigers—just to get what they want, they’ll do anything, no shame, no scruples! Sigh—human nature—is just so greedy!" Vivian glanced at Shawn as she spoke.
"Uh—you saw right through me. I—I do have a bit of a flirtatious side, haha, but hey—I’m a guy," Shawn admitted sheepishly, scratching his head.
"It’s normal for men to be flirtatious. What’s really despicable is being irresponsible! You know—Yvonne’s father was that kind of man! Back then, Yvonne was just a kid. He started a divorce fight, and Yvonne begged him to stop, but in a moment of madness, he actually slapped her! Then he just walked out on us, never looking back. After being abandoned by her closest family and facing so much hardship with me, Yvonne was hit hard. She used to be lively and outgoing, but she became silent and withdrawn, so she never had many friends!" Vivian said, staring up at the ceiling.
"Oh—so that’s why—no wonder..." Shawn finally understood why Yvonne Hu had such a cold demeanor. Growing up in that environment, how could she not be deeply affected?
"After all these years, I’ve finally figured life out—people say money is evil, but everyone’s after it; say beautiful women are trouble, but everyone wants them; say it’s lonely at the top, but everyone’s climbing; say smoking and drinking are bad, but no one quits; say heaven is best, but no one wants to go! Haha—people always say one thing and think another! Shawn—since you’re so talented, do you have any dreams?" Vivian Fang opened up to Shawn, actually talking about ‘dreams’ with him.
"Me—my dream—I haven’t really thought about it, but I guess my biggest wish is just to live the life I want, make sure my family doesn’t suffer, have enough to eat and a place to live—yeah, that’s pretty much it!" Shawn replied honestly.
"Haha—you only think that way because you haven’t reached that point yet. When you do, you’ll realize—even such simple dreams like yours are just wishful thinking without real power and influence to back them up!" Vivian said seriously.
"Oh—is that so? I—I really don’t want to fight with anyone. I just want to live a comfortable life," Shawn Young said.
"The tree wants to be still, but the wind won’t stop. A man like you will never be ordinary. If you keep thinking like this, you’ll suffer for it one day!" Vivian Fang said.

"Oh—I haven’t really thought about that!" Shawn Young said, scratching his head.
"Mm—let me ask you—do you like Cynthia? Or maybe Yvonne? Do you want to have them both?" Vivian Fang asked Shawn directly.
"Uh—about that—I—I—" Shawn was caught off guard by the question and couldn’t answer for a moment. Honestly, he did want them, but he didn’t dare admit it in front of Vivian Fang.
"Haha—no need to explain. I’ve seen the way you look at them, and even at me. I’m experienced, you know. That burning look men get when they want a woman—you have it! But you only think about it; do you dare act on it?!" Vivian’s mood grew intense, her phoenix eyes staring at Shawn with a wisdom that seemed to pierce his soul.
"I—I just think about it, that’s all—if I know there’s no chance, I don’t really dare—dare to act..." Shawn felt uneasy under Vivian’s gaze.
"Heh—I’ve always believed that a man should dare to think and dare to act. A real man, born into this world, should know no limits—if you want something, use every means to get it! If anyone stands in your way, wipe them out! That’s what it means to be a true man!" Vivian looked deep into Shawn’s eyes and spoke with conviction.
"Ah! Enough ambition and dominance! Aunt Vivian, do you like that kind of man?" Shawn looked at Vivian and asked seriously.
"Exactly! That’s the kind of man I admire most. I think no woman on earth could ever reject a man like that—unless she’s lost her mind!" Vivian Fang answered clearly and directly.
"I understand now—I’ll listen to you. I’ll do everything I can to fight for what I want!" Shawn Young’s eyes blazed with rising fire.
"So do you want me right now?" Vivian Fang suddenly blurted out.
Shawn was stunned, but since things had come this far, he steeled himself and replied, "Yes! I want you—very much!"
"Really? If you want me that much, what are you still waiting for?" Vivian was practically pouring fuel on Shawn’s fire.
"But you—I—" Shawn was torn between desire and hesitation.
"Are you thinking, I’m Yvonne’s mother, and you also want Yvonne? Or Cynthia? Or maybe every woman you desire!? But you’re held back by reality and morality, so you don’t dare take action, right?" As Vivian spoke, she stood up. Her gorgeous body was a feast for the eyes, and the insides of her long, snowy legs still glistened with traces of that slippery liquid.
"I—I—" Shawn felt his blood boiling, his chest suddenly filled with surging desire.
"Let me tell you, when you have enough power, none of those worries matter! What are you waiting for!!" Vivian’s hot, voluptuous body was already pressing against him.
"I—I want you—" Shawn finally let out a muffled roar, leaping forward like a hunting lion, grabbing Vivian tightly and pressing her down onto the big bed!
