Pampered by Short-Lived Bigshot

Ruan Mengxi moved quickly, deciding on this lake-blue dress without hesitation, and once Lin Luyou changed clothes, the three of them said goodbye to Yang Yiyi and left without any pause.

Recently, Geng Dong has been skirting the edge of disaster, leaving Yang Yiyi definitely seeking other options. Could she really get stuck by a little girl?

She felt increasingly frustrated the more she pondered.

On the other side,

Tang Wan and her group of three had already arrived at a restaurant and were ordering food, not letting her presence affect their mood in the slightest.

Lin Luyou hadn’t given this matter any thought, naturally unaware that she’d drawn attention even by doing nothing, while Tang Wan and Ruan Mengxi were no fools.

Especially Ruan Mengxi, having seen plenty of intrigue in the business world following Qi Zeyan, and now even more so within the club, encountering all sorts of people; she’s seen many shades of society, so she understood Yang Yiyi’s intent as soon as she spoke.

They’re all old foxes, playing ghosts in the forest tale just seems pointless.

If she were a bit more direct, Ruan Mengxi might hold her in higher regard, but this sneaky attempt to engineer a ”chance” encounter felt awkward.

Tang Wan and Ruan Mengxi were well aware, but with Lin Luyou still around, they didn’t discuss it, keeping their thoughts to themselves.

”Wanwan, what do you think I should bring to the Qi Family tonight as a gift?” Ruan Mengxi sighed, since the Qi Family lacks nothing, making gift selection a frustrating task.

”Ask Zeyan,” Tang Wan laughed.

”Oh come on; if I asked him, he’d just say for me to come over, that gifts aren’t important. I can’t go empty-handed. Last time I gave your aunt a scarf, and I’ve also gifted earrings, but now I really don’t know what to buy...” Ruan Mengxi pursed her lips. ”Mainly because most of the wedding preparations are being handled by your aunt, she’s really put in a lot of effort.”

”Let’s see what you find; you might come across something suitable.”

Lin Luyou rarely goes shopping, and Tang Wan worried she might find it dull, yet Lin Luyou seemed quite content.

The two of them had shopping in mind for their respective families, particularly Tang Wan, who initially intended to shop for herself but ended up buying a bunch of things for her son...

”You went out but ended up buying stuff just for Xiaowai; won’t your husband be jealous when you return home?” Ruan Mengxi teased.

”Fine, I’ll just get something for him too.” Tang Wan’s tone was rather perfunctory.

As if planning to casually buy something to appease Jiang Jinsang.

However, when choosing items, she was quite meticulous. After all, now he’s working, unlike when he was at home, so what he wears and uses definitely needs to be more refined.

Lin Luyou followed them, inexplicably ending up inside a men’s clothing store...

Previously, she’d only been here with her father, but that was a long time ago, and her dad, being a bit of an older gentleman, wouldn’t visit such fancy men’s stores. It felt as if she’d opened the door to a new world.

Tang Wan kept observing Lin Luyou...

What’s up with this Team Leader Lin? She constantly seems unfamiliar with things, having never visited a men’s clothing store?

Lin Luyou, initially just out for a breath of fresh air, hadn’t planned on buying anything, but seeing Tang Wan and Ruan Mengxi selecting things for their husbands and boyfriends, she took a second look.

Staying at Jiang Shiyi’s for a few days seemed necessary for her to show some gratitude.

Tang Wan previously worried Lin Luyou might find a men’s store boring, but when she glanced back, she noticed the young woman had vanished. The store assistant guided her to discover Lin Luyou was studying ties...

Evaluating ties with a particularly earnest demeanor.

”Hey—” Ruan Mengxi suddenly hooked her arm from behind, ”Guess who she’s picking it for?”

Tang Wan kept silent.

”Look at her, doesn’t she seem like a wife choosing items for her husband?”

Tang Wan thought it, but feared nothing sensible would come from her mouth...

Yet, the statement wasn’t far off.
