Ye Xuan smiled. “I stayed here, and he moved to the capital city. That’s too far away. Besides, we didn’t go to the same college after graduating high school. It’s inevitable that we wouldn’t keep in touch.”


  Song Tingshen only silently raised his cup to toast her.

  “The two of you have done well for yourselves. There’s no need to say anything about Old Song. People in the capital city have to call him CEO Song now. Ye Xuan, you’re pretty good too. I heard that your company is going public. You’re a senior executive. You must be getting some shares when your company goes public, right? You guys are different from us. We’re just ordinary people!”


  “Back then, one of them was the top student in our grade and the other one was the 2nd best. There are netizens spouting harmful nonsense that studying is useless, but look at our classmates. They’re a clear example that’s not true. Anyways, I admire you guys from the bottom of my heart. Come on, come on, let’s toast!”


  “Ye Xuan now has a home and a car. She has everything. She’s Ms. Perfect. There’s only one thing that’s a pity though. She doesn’t have a boyfriend,” one of the women chimed in, “I said I wanted to introduce guys to her, but she doesn’t even have time to eat a meal with them. Even our class monitor got married and has a kid that’s four years old, and Ye Xuan still only cares about work…… Ai. I’m worried to death here.”


  “I don’t think that’s a pity.” Ye Xuan sat down with a calm expression. “Not everyone’s goal in life is to get married and have children. I really enjoy my life right now. Getting married isn’t a goal for me. It’s not something I have to do.”


  Ruan Xia wanted to applaud her!

  Yeah! That’s right! People had different goals. Not everyone has to get married and have children. Just because some people think getting married and having children is the perfect life, that doesn’t mean everyone wants to live that type of life!

  She really likes independent people like Ye Xuan! Ah, even if this person turned out to be Song Tingshen’s first love, she would still like her!

  The meal portion passed by in an enjoyable manner. During this meal, Ruan Xia discovered that all of Song Tingshen’s former classmates can be regarded as elites. Their witty and clever remarks were amusing, and no one made any invidious comparisons. No one envied anyone else. They kept the focus of the conversation about their high school memories. Ruan Xia enjoyed herself as a silent observer.

  After the group finished eating, they didn’t immediately leave. When Ruan Xia went to touch up her makeup at the bathroom countertop, she happened to meet Ye Xuan coming into the bathroom, and they shared the area.

  Ruan Xia took out a compact mirror and lipstick, and Ye Xuan did the same.

  People said that a woman’s intuition was uncanny. Ruan Xia kept feeling that Ye Xuan had unspoken feelings for Song Tingshen. During the meal, Ye Xuan had taken the initiative to speak to Song Tingshen, but he didn’t respond much and she didn’t ask him any further questions after that. Instead, she very smoothly changed the subject and chatted with the other people. Perhaps, this was due to her personality. She was probably a very proud person.

  Ruan Xia could tell that Ye Xuan was different from Li Jing.

  From what she saw at the dinner table, she believed that Ye Xuan would think it was beneath her dignity to covet a married man. Ye Xuan was a person with pride and dignity.

  They didn’t exchange any words, but Ye Xuan still politely smiled at her before leaving the bathroom after she finished touching up her makeup.
