Chapter 1189 - 1186: Having a Baby 5

"Don’t let her ex-husband’s new wife come to buy a bag?"

"Haha, Xixi, you really are great at predicting things. Zhou Xiaoxuan is always making things difficult for that shrew. She spread the word that if the shrew is invited, the store won’t offer the latest custom designs to customers... Haha, that shrew came from a mistress background, and she wasn’t exactly high-class material anyway. No one wants to offend our store for her, so people in the circle really ignored her..."

That’s how the fame and fortune circle is like.

It’s easy to lift someone up, even easier to step on someone.

"What’s more outrageous is that Zhou Xiaoxuan doesn’t even acknowledge her ex-husband’s mom when she comes to buy a bag. I was thinking, business is business, why not make money where you can? But except for these two women, she is polite and diligent with everyone else, so I just turned a blind eye. You see, when Zhou Xiaoxuan got divorced, that old hag was so arrogant just for the sake of the mistress’s pregnancy and her son..."

Yan Xixi laughed heartily.

She always knew Xu Xiaoya was this kind of person—one who unconditionally protects her friends and family.

She said candidly, "Oh well, with that family of Zhou Xiaoxuan’s ex-husband’s, offending customers like them isn’t a big deal."

Bathing in the spring evening breeze, the white Mercedes cut a lively silhouette in the night wind.

In front of her house, Yan Xixi finally had a sense of reality: she was back to real life.

I, Yan Xixi, have returned to being myself.

Work, future, love... actually, sometimes they don’t matter—being your true self is the most important thing.

She parked the car and strolled alone on the tree-lined path.

This bustling residential area was now filled with dazzling lights and moving shadows. The bar lights lit up one by one, and the ginkgo trees on both sides were becoming greener and greener.

She took a deep breath and stopped.

From a distance, she saw the man across the street.

He had been quietly watching her, and slowly, a gentle smile appeared in his eyes.

After a while, she slowly walked over.

The two nearly brushed past each other.

"Xixi, do you want to have a drink tonight?"

She suddenly really, really wanted to get drunk.

They were two bottles of rare red wine, well-preserved, and as soon as the bottles were opened, there was immediately a special and rich aroma of fine red wine.

Yan Xixi raised her glass, looked at the red liquid inside, gently swirled it, and couldn’t help but mutter, "Big smelly guy, tell me why this stuff is so great? Why is some wine more expensive than drinking gold?"

Drinking this wine is almost like drinking gold.

He grinned, "Rarity determines value, actually, no matter how expensive the wine is, it might not really be that delicious, but with the price hyped up, its status goes up..."

"It’s not worth it at all, is it?"

He was indifferent: "Weren’t the ancient emperors just ordinary people? But because he was an emperor, because he sat on the dragon throne, his value skyrocketed, changing even the fate of the country..."

Yan Xixi thought about it, indeed, she raised her glass and drank it all at once.

"Don’t drink too fast. Silly girl, even with red wine, you’ll get drunk drinking like this..."

She looked dazed from the alcohol, "What do you know? If I don’t drink faster, you’ll finish the rest of it... Look, I’ve had just one glass, and you’ve already had three..."

"Clearly, you’ve had three glasses, and I’ve only had one..."

"It’s you who’s had three glasses..."

Wan Donglin smiled bitterly and stopped arguing with her.

Another full glass of red wine went down.
