They were all college classmates, having met when they were just seventeen or eighteen, and had remained in touch since then.
Ye Wanwan got married and had a child, and she had even started worrying about getting her baby into school, something Lu Ning found incredible.
Zhang Xinyue nodded in agreement, echoing, "I can’t imagine it either."
"Does it just naturally happen that once you become a mother, you change into that?" Song Ziyi asked curiously.
Song Ziyi was also trying to conceive. She couldn’t wrap her head around the fact that the girl who had been pampered and cherished all her life was now concerned about her own little baby.
So Song Ziyi wondered if becoming a mother naturally endowed one with that ability. Otherwise, she doubted whether she could be a good mother.
If she couldn’t do it, if she couldn’t be a good mother, then was it really appropriate to be so hasty in having children?
Ye Wanwan thought for a long time but didn’t know how to explain this question.
In her past life, she had given birth to Zhouzhou but hadn’t treated him well at all. In this life, she wanted to do everything herself because she felt guilty towards Zhouzhou.
Later, the group shifted the conversation to other topics until dinner was over. Lu Ning’s car was being serviced, so Zhang Xinyue offered to drive her home.
Meanwhile, Ye Wanwan and Song Ziyi stayed in the restaurant, waiting for their husbands to pick them up.
And by a curious coincidence, Shen Yi and Ji Yunting arrived one right after the other. The two men, separated by a short distance, gave each other a slight nod as if to say hello.
After reluctantly saying goodbye, Ye Wanwan and Song Ziyi got into their respective cars with their men and left.
In the car, Song Ziyi asked Ji Yunting, "Don’t you get along well with Shen Yi? It seems like you two never greet each other, even after all this time."
Ji Yunting glanced at Song Ziyi and replied, "His son wants to steal my daughter, should I be nice to him?"
Song Ziyi was speechless. She had been joking before, and couldn’t believe Ji Yunting was still hung up on such an old joke!
On the other hand, Ye Wanwan also asked Shen Yi, "You seem not to get along with Ji Yunting, huh?"
Shen Yi replied indifferently, "He doesn’t like Zhouzhou, of course we don’t get along."
"Why are you so childish!" Ye Wanwan said, both laughing and crying in disbelief.
Shen Yi seemed unfazed. If Ji Yunting didn’t like Zhouzhou, as Zhouzhou’s father, it was only natural for him to side with his son.
One day, Ye Wanwan saw Fang Xian in a shopping mall; had she not run into Fang Xian, Ye Wanwan would never have even remembered such a person existed.
She had heard from Song Ziyi that Fang Xian had left Jiyang Industries. The reason was straightforward: the Ji Family had stated that if Zhou Yuntao wanted to continue being with Ji Chenghuan, then Fang Xian could no longer stay at Jiyang Industries.
Zhou Yuntao indeed valued Fang Xian’s work abilities; after all, she was very capable and the projects she chose were always promising.
But Zhou Yuntao didn’t have those kinds of feelings for Fang Xian. His relationship with Ji Chenghuan was a love match, and his affection for Ji Chenghuan was genuine. So for Ji Chenghuan’s sake, he had no choice but to let Fang Xian go.
So when Ye Wanwan saw Fang Xian again, she felt Fang Xian was truly a stranger. Gone was the pride she used to carry herself with in front of Ye Wanwan.
Fang Xian was with an older man, affectionately linking arms, clearly more than just acquaintances.
