"Of course it matters!" Yu Qiqi raised her voice before continuing, "As the saying goes, ’Without comparison, there’d be no harm!’"
"Today, after meeting a rich, handsome, tender, and romantic man like Shen Yi, who else could I possibly fancy?"
"Tell me, where can you find a man as outstanding as Shen Yi? Just say the word, and I’ll go find him right away!"
Yu Qiqi was pulling Ye Wanwan along and asking her with all seriousness, as if as soon as Ye Wanwan came up with a name, she would immediately go to find that person.
Zhang Zixuan chimed in from the side, "First, you need to be as pretty as Wanwan, second, you need to be as gentle as Wanwan, and also..."
Zhang Zixuan hadn’t finished speaking before Yu Qiqi shot him a cold look, scaring him into promptly shutting his mouth, while Tang Xiaorou and Su Hang were laughing so hard they were falling over each other.
When Shen Yi and Chen Xuyang arrived, they saw the group already bursting with laughter, with Ye Wanwan being the first to notice the two of them.
Ye Wanwan looked at Shen Yi, her mouth opening as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she said nothing at all. It was only those bright, smiling eyes that had already betrayed her mood at that moment.
Chen Xuyang waved his hand cheerfully from the side, "Long time no see, little sister-in-law, happy New Year."
"Long time no see." Ye Wanwan greeted him with a smile.
As one of Shen Yi’s good brothers, Ye Wanwan naturally knew Chen Xuyang, although in her past life she didn’t have a very good impression of him.
The reason was nothing more than Chen Xuyang not taking over the family business like Shen Yi and their other two brothers, but instead opening his own bars, clubs, restaurants, and so on—anything that had to do with eating, drinking, and merrymaking, Chen Xuyang liked to have a hand in.
In her past life, Ye Wanwan always worried that Chen Xuyang would lead Shen Yi astray when taking him out, so she didn’t have a good impression of Chen Xuyang.
Chen Xuyang greeted the others at the booth, "Hello everyone, I’m Chen Xuyang, friends of my little sister-in-law are my friends too. Remember to come hang out more often."
Yu Qiqi and the others also exchanged greetings, for politeness was still necessary, whether or not the other party was just making perfunctory pleasantries.
"Well then, I’ll leave you to entertain your colleagues, and won’t disturb you any longer. I’m going to take off first." Since Chen Xuyang hadn’t managed to meet up with his few close brothers earlier in the day, he had called some other friends to come out. It wouldn’t be right for him to run off now.
After Chen Xuyang left, Tang Xiaorou said, "It’s getting late, we should prepare to head back too."
Ye Wanwan glanced at her watch; it was just past twelve, "Won’t you stay and play a little longer?"
"No thanks, I have to get up early to go home."
Everyone said they needed to get up early the next day. Ye Wanwan naturally didn’t say anything more. The group gathered their belongings and left the bar.
It was now the wee hours of the morning, and hailing a cab was exceptionally difficult, so Shen Yi arranged for a driver to take them home.
After watching them leave, Ye Wanwan and Shen Yi also got into their car and left.
A bit tired from the night’s activities, Ye Wanwan slumped into the car seat with a long sigh and then turned to look at Shen Yi, only to find that he was already looking at her.
Their eyes met, and Ye Wanwan couldn’t help but let her lips curve into a smile, her eyes crinkling happily.
Shen Yi, while gently squeezing Ye Wanwan’s hand, saw her smiling and couldn’t help but smile himself, "What are you laughing at?"
"I’m happy," said Ye Wanwan, looking at Shen Yi and trying to sound nonchalant.
