A Long-Awaited Marriage - Chapter 21

Chanel high heels, a Chanel Chanel suit, a bling-bling Chanel diamond hair clip in her hair, a pair of Chanel earrings, and a new Chanel gold ball square bag slung over her shoulder.

They walked into the company chatting and laughing.

As she passed the reception desk, she suddenly stopped, affectionately linked arms with Zhou Yichen, subtly sized up Ding Shuyao, and haughtily raised an eyebrow, asking, “Cousin, is this a new employee your company hired?”

“Hmm.” Zhou Yichen glanced at Ding Shuyao and responded indifferently.

“Tch~” Fang Xiaoya snorted coldly, curled her lips in disdain, and walked away in her high heels.

Ding Shuyao was completely baffled by this whole thing and got a little angry. “Who is this person? How rude!”

Zhu Lili answered truthfully, “Her? She’s Zhou Yichen’s cousin, Fang Xiaoya. She just graduated from university. She comes over every Friday.”

“What’s she doing here? She doesn’t look like she’s here to work.”

Zhu Lili looked around to make sure no one was coming closer before whispering in Ding Shuyao’s ear, “She’s taken a fancy to the cold-faced devil. Because Zhou Yichen is her cousin, she comes over every Friday.”

“No wonder she looked at me like that just now. Was she afraid I’d steal her away? How childish!” Ding Shuyao rolled her eyes at the elevator entrance.

“He must be jealous of your looks!” Julie said indignantly.

“Does that cold-faced devil, oh no, Jiang Ye, like this Fang Xiaoya?”

“No way, Jiang Ye doesn’t like her at all! If it weren’t for Zhou Yichen’s sake, Jiang Ye wouldn’t even give her a second glance.”

Hearing Zhu Lili say that, Ding Shuyao felt much better. She suddenly became curious about Jiang.

Zhu Lili beckoned to Ding Shuyao again, “Come closer.”

Ding Shuyao leaned closer and heard Zhu Lili say, “I heard that Jiang also had a girlfriend when he was in college, and the two of them had a pretty good relationship. But for some reason, they broke up right after graduation.”

“You even knew that?” Ding Shuyao looked at Zhu Lili with some surprise. “You’re really something, aren’t you? You even managed to snoop into the boss’s privacy!”

“Hehe, it’s normal to listen to gossip occasionally when you’re working at a company~ Besides, can you call that spying!” Julie scratched her head, feeling quite embarrassed.

“Hehe~” Ding Shuyao rolled her eyes at her and muttered, “How come another one broke up after graduation.”

Ding Shuyao frowned. Ranran and her ex-boyfriend also broke up after graduation.

Julie didn’t take it seriously. “It’s normal. Graduation season is breakup season. College classmates come from all over the country. After graduation, everyone goes back to their own homes.”

“My ex-boyfriend and I broke up around graduation; we even had a farewell dinner. Now his son is old enough to run errands, and I’m still single.”

“Then you seem to be in a bit of a predicament~” Ding Shuyao’s mood suddenly improved, and she smiled and nudged Zhu Lili’s elbow.

“Hey, who can argue with that! But, better to have none than something mediocre!”

“I agree! Better to have none than something bad! Haha~” Ding Shuyao raised both hands in agreement.

They gossip about others and live their own lives. Two girls who have only known each other for less than a day have already built a deep friendship in a happy, relaxed atmosphere.

“Cousin, you go ahead and do your work. I want to talk to Jiang Ye alone.” When they arrived at Jiang Ye’s office, Fang Xiaoya stopped and tried to get Zhou Yichen out of there.

Zhou Yichen poked her forehead, “You, you’re so fickle, you forget your principles for the sake of beauty!”

Fang Xiaoya stuck out her tongue and said sweetly, “Oh, cousin~”

Zhou Yichen smiled and turned to leave, but he knew very well in his heart: the falling flowers were willing, but the flowing water was indifferent.

Jiang Ye probably still has Lu Anran in her heart.

He had tried to persuade his cousin, but she had been spoiled by her family since childhood and wouldn’t listen until she hit a wall, firmly believing that she could move Jiang Ye.

He didn’t say anything more. Sometimes, those involved are blinded by their own perspective. Letting her suffer a little might not be a bad thing.

“Jiang Ye~” Fang Xiaoya knocked on the glass door, and without waiting for Jiang Ye’s reply, she pushed the door open and went in.

“You’ve arrived.” Jiang also looked up, said calmly, and continued reading the documents.

Fang Xiaoya wasn’t annoyed; she seemed used to it. She took a movie ticket out of her bag and handed it to Jiang Ye on the table, saying softly, “Zhu Yilong has a new movie out, and it’s getting a great response. Let’s go see it together.”

“I’m busy.” Jiang Ye refused without even looking up.
