âThank you for your compliment.â
She smiled, and as she held her ex-classmateâs hand, she checked her out, pursed her lips, and returned the compliment smilingly. âYou look good in your dress, too!â
âI saw that there will be a bonfire party tonight for your engagement and l pestered my husband to buy me this gown! Itâs the latest design from Chanelâs winter series which cost a few thousand yuan. He really felt the pinch after!â
Jiang Li smiled shyly at her compliment.
Yun Shishi: âYour husband really dotes on you.â
âWhat! He got this only because I pestered him. He usually is stingy in spending that much on a piece of clothes!â
With that, she made an exaggerated gesture with one finger before sighing in resignation. âItâs a rare instance where he got a big-ticket item for me! Thatâs why, sometimes, I really envy you! Youâre so fortunate to meet such a good man who spoils you like a princess!â
She blushed as she took a peek at Mu Yazhe, too timid to look the man-god in the eyes.
The man smiled in reply. âI only have one wife. If I donât spoil her like a princess, she may run off in dissatisfaction with my performance!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
His humor got her laughing out loud. At the same time, she started to envy her ex-classmateâs good fortune again.
Her envy was different from the Yun sisters, though. She truly wished her friend the best of luck from the bottom of her heart!
Thus, she praised the man, too. âYour hubby looks so handsome today! Both of you look so compatible!â
The man responded with a gracious smile. âThank you.â
His gentlemanly manners impressed her very much, and she could only shake her head at her shabby husband inwardly. Comparison only made one mad!
Xiao Xue chipped in, âYo, do you know that this friend of ours was so swooned by your hubby today? Do you know that she was staring at him unblinkingly at the ceremony this afternoon; she was even drooling over him! He he!â
âPfft!â Yun Shishi stifled a laugh. âReally?â
Jiang Li quickly tried to stop the other from rumbling further. âHey, stop teasing me! I wasnât drooling, alright?! Shishi may misunderstand your words!â
âAlright! I was only kidding. She knows me well and wonât take it to heart!â
As she spoke, the other looked at the bride-to-be. âIsnât it so, Shishi?â
âEnough of that! You are bad to tease her in this way. Our friend is easily embarrassed, so stop pulling her leg.â
After saying that, she inquired, âWhy didnât you bring your daughter along?â
Her former classmate furrowed her brows at the question. âThe mention of this frustrates me. That little girl wanted to come along as she couldnât forget Youyou, but she caught a high fever just prior to our departure! The temperature fluctuates between hot and cold, and sheâs burning thirty-eight degrees Celsius. I had no choice but to leave her with her grandma, so Iâm here alone now!â
âNo worries! She can always play with my son once she gets better.â
Jiang Li smiled and commented shyly, âThat girl of mine... likes your son a lot! She kept telling me how handsome, smart, and very considerate he is. She even told me how she wants to marry your kid once theyâre grownups! You see how nonsensical that child is, falling in love at such a young age!â
Standing at one side, the boy rolled his eyes helplessly.
He was not going to get married.
He wanted to keep watch over his mother for the rest of his life.
