Chapter 32: An Encounter in a Foreign Land [2]-Amor em Família Nobre: Encantado pela Pequena Esposa(Mais preguiçoso que você.)

“I was the one who foolishly insisted on marrying him in the first place. What about you?” Wen Xiaorou used the sorrow of her divorce to drain the half bottle of fruit wine in her hand. If Yiyi had not been there with her, she probably would have spent another night crying.

“As for me, I’ve dated one, two, three, four... I’ve lost count,” Cheng Yiyi boasted, counting on her fingers.

“With romantic luck like that, lend me some!” Wen Xiaorou gazed enviously at Yiyi, who could not even count all her boyfriends. She had only ever loved one man, yet he hated her so much. Her luck in love was truly dreadful.

“I was only joking. I dated one guy in college, and now we’re in a long-distance relationship. It probably won’t last much longer.” Cheng Yiyi’s smile faded as she took a large gulp of wine and sighed.

“Then you must be really upset now!” Wen Xiaorou remembered how, in the past, even imagining herself separated from Jing Nuo had left her unable to breathe from grief. Yiyi must be feeling the same way she once had.

“How could I be? I won’t feel bad at all. Only by giving up one tree can you have the chance to possess an entire forest. Stop looking so downhearted. Our Xiaorou is so beautiful—it’s that man who failed to appreciate you. To celebrate our return to single life, cheers!”

Cheng Yiyi was far more carefree than Wen Xiaorou and was not nearly as sentimental.

“Mmm, cheers.” Smiling, Wen Xiaorou opened another bottle and began gulping it down.

But would her heart ever beat for someone else again? Could she still believe in love? Jing Nuo had loved scenery so deeply, yet in the end he had gotten Lin Feier pregnant. Was he really the only bad man in the world? Wen Xiaorou thought the question deserved serious consideration. But before pondering whether men were good or bad, there was one matter she had to take care of first: finding a job. She absolutely could not end up returning to beg the Jing family for help. Jing Nuo would laugh his head off.

“Yiyi, where do you work? Is your company hiring?” Wen Xiaorou gazed pitifully at the lifeline before her.

“I work at the headquarters of Shangjing Group. I think we’re currently hiring a records administrator. I’ll look into it for you tomorrow.” Since Wen Xiaorou had asked, Cheng Yiyi naturally took the matter to heart.

“Shangjing Group? Forget it, forget it. I’ll look for a job myself.” The moment Wen Xiaorou heard the words “Shangjing Group headquarters,” she immediately lost her nerve. Working at Shangjing Group would be no better than going back to demand a breakup settlement from Jing Nuo—at least that would be more straightforward.

“What? You look down on Shangjing Group? Wen Xiaorou, even though you’re an overseas graduate, don’t underestimate our company, all right? Our boss is young, wealthy, and, most importantly, devastatingly handsome. He’ll surely become the richest man in the country within a year. How dare you look down on us?” Seeing Wen Xiaorou’s attitude, Cheng Yiyi immediately became agitated.

“No, no. Shangjing is far too outstanding. How could I ever hope to reach that level? I’d rather find a small company and work there peacefully.” Realizing that Cheng Yiyi was a staunch supporter of Jing Nuo, Wen Xiaorou quickly changed her tone. She could not afford to fall out with her best friend over Jing Nuo—that would truly be a terrible bargain.

“How could that be? You’re not inferior to anyone. Besides, it’s only a records administrator position. With your overseas degree, you can certainly handle it.” Cheng Yiyi had not expected Wen Xiaorou to be worried that she was not good enough, so she immediately comforted her.

“But I have no work experience at all. It might be difficult for me to get into Shangjing. Once I’ve gained a little more experience, I’ll try for a better position there. Hehe!” Wen Xiaorou cradled the colorful bottle in both hands, took a small sip, and smiled sheepishly.
