Tang Xiaorou had become an independent project director now, reportedly working on entertainment variety shows, with her working hours and locations being unpredictable.
Just for that reason, Ye Wanwan wouldn’t be able to handle such a job.
After all, she had never been career-driven; she sought out work simply as a way to pass the time.
To devote herself entirely to a job was something Ye Wanwan felt she couldn’t do.
Tang Xiaorou nodded in understanding. After discussing work, they started to chat idly, but most of the time it was just listening to Yu Qiqi complaining about how terribly they were treated before they resigned.
Ye Wanwan and Tang Xiaorou listened, but didn’t believe a word, since Yu Qiqi had never been one to let herself be bullied by anyone.
The group made a racket until nearly midnight before preparing to leave and head home.
Perhaps because her routine had been a bit disordered lately, Ye Wanwan missed the time for her video call with Shen Yi.
Ye Wanwan felt a bit annoyed, but at this point Shen Yi would definitely be resting, so she could only wait until he woke up to video call him.
After lying in bed for a while longer, Ye Wanwan got up to wash and went downstairs for breakfast, when she received a birthday invitation from a plastic sister in her circle.
Ye Wanwan hesitated, but eventually agreed to go.
By noon, Ye Wanwan, taking advantage of Shen Yi waking up, hurriedly made a video call to him.
Shen Yi didn’t say much, but his expression constantly gave Ye Wanwan the illusion that she had let him down, which made her feel unavoidably guilty.
Even though Ye Wanwan had now come to realize that Shen Yi was doing it on purpose, he had mastered the way to handle her. After all, what could she do about a Shen Yi like that?
So Ye Wanwan asked in a deliberately coquettish manner, "How much longer until you come back? You said a month last time, and it’s almost been a week now, is it soon?"
Shen Yi was silent for a while, "Hmm, if nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to return at the beginning of August."
"Really?" Ye Wanwan appeared genuinely surprised.
A hint of a smile finally spread across Shen Yi’s face. Even though he knew deep down that Ye Wanwan was just putting on an act, his mood had improved a lot.
At least she knew what was on his mind.
"I won’t keep you then, go ahead with your work. I’m heading out for a beauty treatment," Ye Wanwan said.
Since she was going to a plastic sister’s birthday party tonight, Ye Wanwan had specifically scheduled a SPA appointment for the afternoon.
"Alright," Shen Yi said.
Ye Wanwan waved at Shen Yi through the video call, then hung up and proceeded to get ready and leave the house.
Eight o’clock in the evening.
Ye Wanwan arrived at the location sent in advance by the plastic sisters and searched for the reserved private room.
The door to the private room wasn’t closed, and Ye Wanwan could hear a bunch of girls laughing inside while she was still outside. She rolled her eyes and then, putting on a sweet smile, walked in.
"Tiantian," Ye Wanwan called out.
All eyes in the room turned to her, and Wang Tiantian, who had been talking with Xun Lehan, quickly stood up and walked straight towards Ye Wanwan, "Wanwan, you’re here."
"Happy birthday!" said Ye Wanwan as she handed over the prepared gift.
Wang Tiantian took the gift and handed it back to her follower behind her, then started to make pleasantries with Ye Wanwan.
