"I finished work." Shen Yi sat down on the sofa, then continued to ask, "What’s wrong with you?"
Ye Wanwan sighed with great discouragement, "I prepared my resume today but didn’t even decide where to send it."
"If you haven’t decided yet, just take your time, there’s no need to rush," Shen Yi comforted her.
After all, the Ye Family did not need Ye Wanwan to work to support the family, so she had all the time in the world to figure out what she really wanted to do.
Ye Wanwan still looked disheartened, "I’ve been thinking and thinking, and I can’t figure out what I like or what I’m good at. I feel like I’m just a waste."
"Why am I so useless!" Ye Wanwan said in a dragged tone as she leaned back against the sofa, looking utterly despondent.
Shen Yi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, wondering how she could even berate herself like that.
"You are fine, don’t doubt yourself, you will find a job that suits you," Shen Yi said with certainty.
He was not just comforting Ye Wanwan; he genuinely thought she was good.
As far as he knew, Ye Wanwan could dance ballet, had learned piano and violin for many years, and while her academic performance was not superb, she had earnestly earned her place at the prestigious Jing University to study Business Administration.
Only because of the Ye Family’s high status, when people mentioned Ye Wanwan, they would think of her as the Ye Family’s only daughter, spoiled and doted on by her family, and overlook Ye Wanwan’s own merits.
But Shen Yi could see that Ye Wanwan’s desire to work might really be for the reason she told him that day, that she was too bored by herself at home.
Seeing Ye Wanwan still looking downcast, Shen Yi thought for a moment and then suggested, "There’s an auction tomorrow night. Want to go pick something out?"
Ye Wanwan turned to look at Shen Yi, feeling a bit complicated. Although she came from a wealthy family herself, how could Shen Yi treat auction events, where things could go for hundreds of thousands or even millions, as casually as if it were just a trip to the supermarket.
Their eyes met, and they just stared at each other silently for a while. Then Shen Yi continued to ask, "Don’t want to go?"
Ye Wanwan shook her head, "No, I don’t."
Although in her previous life she could be described as wild and impulsive, she had lived an extra decade and was living a second life. She had grown indifferent to gold...
Before Ye Wanwan could finish her train of thought, Shen Yi added, "I heard there’s a bottle of antique perfume at the auction this time."
Shen Yi didn’t understand much about perfumes, but he did know that Ye Wanwan liked them. Initially, when his assistant mentioned the auction to him, he just told the assistant to attend and to bid on that bottle of perfume on his behalf.
But knowing that Ye Wanwan was bored at home alone, Shen Yi thought of bringing her along.
As he finished speaking and saw Ye Wanwan’s eyes light up, Shen Yi felt that it was worth making time to accompany her there.
He raised his hand and affectionately stroked the top of Ye Wanwan’s head, "I’ll go with you tomorrow night."
"Mhm! Mhm!" Ye Wanwan nodded vigorously.
She had almost forgotten that the most beloved bottle of perfume she had in her previous life was one they had acquired not long after her marriage to Shen Yi at an auction.
Ye Wanwan instantly cast aside her just now indifferent self; she couldn’t miss out on her treasure!
The gloom that had built up all afternoon vanished completely in just a few words from Shen Yi, replaced by her sweet smile.
