Her eyes were red. "Xixi, I really don’t know how to thank you..."
Yan Xixi laughed. "Don’t be silly. Haven’t we always taken care of each other? You don’t need to be so polite with ."
Xu Xiaoya didn’t say anything more. The experiences of the past year had felt like a lifeti. Parents, lover... In the end, she sadly realized she was no different from Yan Xixi—ultimately, still all alone. Luckily, they still had each other.
She tightly gripped Yan Xixi’s hand. Yan Xixi teased her, "Xiaoya, if you keep this up, people will think we’re lesbians."
Xu Xiaoya responded seriously, "Heterosexual relationships are for procreation; homosexual ones are the truest form of human love."
Yan Xixi burst into laughter.
Xu Xiaoya glanced ahead and saw Wan Donglin standing alone on the large outdoor terrace, holding a cup of tea.
She lowered her voice. "Xixi, the Third Young Master is truly a good man."
"A good man?"
"Whether he’s a good man or not, I can’t say for sure, but I do know he treats you extrely well."
"..."
"Truly, Xixi, you must seize this opportunity. If you miss this chance with the Third Young Master, you’ll regret it. Did you know? Before opening this store, he ca to see ."
Yan Xixi was surprised. "Why did he co to see you?"
Xu Xiaoya recounted what had happened that day and concluded, "Xixi, don’t you understand his intentions yet? He was worried you might befriend the wrong kind of person, so he specifically checked up on for you. Where else would you find a man like that? Think about it for yourself. In all the ti you’ve spent with the Third Young Master, he has never truly hurt you. He’s treated you extrely well and even let you finish college. Think, what other man would do all that? He must be in love with you..."
Yan Xixi responded indifferently, "You heard what Zhou Xiaoxuan said the other day. He already has a fiancée nad Zhou Ting."
Xu Xiaoya was dismissive. "A fiancée is just a fiancée; she’s not his wife yet. Besides, who knows if Zhou Xiaoxuan was just talking nonsense? How many tis could the Third Young Master have even t Zhou Ting? They might not have any feelings for each other at all! Xixi, listen to this once: you have to seize this opportunity. We’re not trying to be the other woman here. Wan Donglin is an eligible bachelor, a single man. We can compete for him openly and fairly. And you were with Wan Donglin first, so why should you be afraid of her? Just because her family is powerful, should you hand your lover over to her? If anyone’s the other woman, it’s her, not you..."
Yan Xixi didn’t want to continue the discussion and changed the topic. "Xiaoya, co with to look at the latest bags."
Xu Xiaoya’s eyes lit up. "Ha! I completely forgot to show them to you. Xixi, pick one you like. It’ll be my treat; you can have it deducted from my salary."
"Haha, no need for that. I’ll buy one myself to support our store’s business."
"Alright then," Xu Xiaoya said. "I’ll get you one next ti."
In the VIP room on the third floor, Yan Xixi finally witnessed the legendary VIP service of a luxury goods store. It was also her first ti personally selecting from top-tier bags that cost hundreds of thousands, or even millions.
She picked up an ostrich leather bag. Xu Xiaoya said with a grin, "Xixi, I have to tell you, you can only look at these. They’re all custom-ordered by clients and just arrived. They’ll be picked up within three days. Even though you’re the lady boss, if you want one, you still have to place an order. You can only get it once it arrives..."
"Then I’ll place an order too. I want this one; help order it."
Xu Xiaoya also burst into laughter. "If I’d known you were going to pick this one, I really couldn’t have afforded to gift it to you; even deducting it from my salary wouldn’t be enough!"
