Xu Manman suddenly stood up and rushed to Shen Yian's face.

"Yi An Jie, look, Gu Cheng is being so unfair! He actually said that you're only acting strangely because your aunt is sick."

"I think it's him who is talking nonsense and acting delirious."

Gu Cheng's colleagues definitely already spread the word about Gu Cheng pestering her throughout the company.

Since Gu Cheng values face so much, he definitely can't stand being gossiped about by his colleagues. That's why he made a big deal out of it.

But what Gu Cheng did in the group was something she hadn't expected, now things were even more complicated.

Zhou, the director, has come out in person. If she can't resolve this quickly, her promotion will definitely be affected.

"Yī Anjie, aren't you furious too? I say, call your husband to send you here tomorrow. Even if he's not good-looking, at least he can shut Gu Cheng up and stop him from going crazy in the group."

Xu Manman's words woke Shen Yian up.

If Song Lin appeared, he could easily get rid of Gu Cheng's entanglement. It wouldn't be impossible.

Let me think about it some more.

"Fine, I can't swallow this. Even if I had to marry a cow, I wouldn't marry Gu Cheng." Xu Manman said angrily.

"Let's go."

Shen Yian pulled Xu Manman down the stairs, and all along the way people around them stared at her.

She didn't care, her mind was full of how to win the big deal from Weidai Technology.

As she entered the subway, she and Xu Manman happened to be going in the same direction and took the train together.

"Yi An Jie, why are you walking here? Aren't you going to the hospital?"

"I still need to make some changes to Wei Yi's plan, so I told the caregiver that I won't be going today. Plus, my mom is about to have surgery, so I need to finish up the work at hand as soon as possible."

Xu Manman nodded and pointed to the bus stop sign above her head: "Where are you getting off?"

Shen Yian pointed to the middle section: "Qingjiang Road."

Upon hearing this, Xu Manman looked at her in surprise.

"Qingjiang Road? Is your husband's family from there? Houses there are expensive, the cheapest one costs over four million!"

“It was bought with a loan, and I’m still paying it off,” Shen Yian explained.

"Well then, you guys must be under a lot of pressure."

"Not bad."

After she gets promoted, things should get a little better.

"At the very least, we could help ease some of Song Lin's burden by taking turns caring for Aunt Mo."

Xu Manman clutched the package, tilting her head and staring intently at Shen Yian.

Shen Yian felt a shiver down his spine under her gaze. "What's wrong?"

"Yi Anjie, I'm even more curious about your husband now. He doesn't look particularly good, his salary isn't very high, and he still has to pay off a mortgage. He doesn't seem that great to you either, yet you can still say "okay". What kind of man is this?"

"An average working joe, what else do you think?" Shen Yian retorted.

"Sister Yi An, to be honest, don't laugh at me, I used to think you and Gu Cheng would definitely become top players in the industry. Gu Cheng becomes a domineering president, and you are his CEO wife. Then the two of you attend all kinds of banquets together and introduce me to another domineering president so that I can reach the peak of my life."

Xu Manman gazed longingly out the car window.

Shen Yian chuckled and lightly tapped her head,

"Wake up, there aren't that many domineering CEOs in the world. And even if there are, they have nothing to do with us. Those CEOs only like princesses. At best, I'm just a... maid."

"What's wrong with having a few dreams in life?"

"Dreams and delusions are different things."

"Sister Yi'an, you're being too realistic! I believe my prince charming is definitely on his way."

"If you don't take the initiative, don't expect others to come looking for you. Stop daydreaming, the subway is here, get on board."

Shen Yian didn't want to hear Xu Manman talk about her dreams of a domineering president falling in love with me.
