Chapter 243: 183. Light Bulb_2

She walked to the center of the living room, squatted down, picked up a photo frame of the three of them together, and wiped the dust off it.

She stared at it for a long, long time.

"Guan Guan! We’re out of wet wipes~"

The voice came from the bathroom.

"Okay, coming, I’ll get them for you!"

The short-haired girl quickly placed the photo frame face down where it was, pulled out a pack of wet wipes from the living room storage cabinet, glanced at her face in the full-length mirror as she passed, and tried to squeeze out a smile.

When both had finished washing up, they lay side by side on the large bed in the master bedroom, and the "late-night girl talk" segment resumed.

This time, the topic was even more explosive.

"I’m telling you, I definitely bought the wrong shade of that Laperla."

Zhou Sinin sprawled lazily on a chair in front of the vanity, her pajamas reaching just to her upper thighs, crossing her two long, snowy white legs, lightly dabbing her accidentally damp hair tips with a towel.

"You bought two sets, right? I thought they looked pretty good..."

"No, I’m not talking about the color..."

"Is it the size? Really now, have you hit puberty again?"

Guan Yongyi sat up, her gaze unavoidably drifting towards Sinin’s fair chest.

"No, that’s not it. This year’s Laperla designs only have front clasps and side clasps... no back clasps. I didn’t know, I thought they only came with front clasps. When I got home and checked, it seems like side clasps are more suitable for Asian women."

"What are you going to do then? Go exchange it at the store?"

"My mom sent it from Shanghai; the store here wouldn’t swap it."

"Then we’ll exchange it next time we go to SKP."

"But I want to wear it."

"Zhou Sinin! You’re so eager to switch to new lingerie, isn’t it a bit obvious?"

The short-haired girl couldn’t help but make a face and blurt out her tease.

"Hahaha, not at all, you’re talking nonsense."

Zhou Sinin, finished drying her hair, leaned against the headboard and waved her hand.

"So who are you in such a hurry to show it to? Your boyfriend?"

Guan Yongyi emphasized the last few words.

"Stop it... men don’t understand this stuff anyway."

Sinin’s brows arched up, but she no longer denied that appellative as she had when she entered the room.

Her best friend did not respond, but simply reached over.

Snap!

"What the! You hooligan!"

The side clasp was flicked open by Guan Yongyi in a single motion, taking just two seconds, as smooth as flowing water.

"Ha, that’s not necessarily true."

Maybe men don’t understand brands, but they definitely understand... how to unfasten.

"Could you please show a little restraint? Barely unlocked kissing and you’re already planning to wear a matching lingerie set, I don’t even know what to say to you."

Guan Yongyi couldn’t help but tap her on the forehead, holding back further words.

"No way... Guan Guan, don’t be mad, I wouldn’t really do that."

Zhou Sinin looped an arm around her best friend’s and lay side by side with her.

"I’m not mad! I just don’t want you... to be taken advantage of, you understand, right?"

"I know!"

Zhou Sinin’s long lashes fluttered, sensing her best friend’s reaction was a bit intense.

"Forget it."

Guan Yongyi sighed deeply, "Anyway, at this rate, it’s just a matter of time, and nothing I say will make a difference."

Taken advantage of?

Yet talking about others, she herself had clumsily given away her first kiss.

What right did she have to judge others?

Thinking this, Guan Yongyi’s eyes dimmed, and she felt deflated.

"By the way, I asked him last time if he thought I was prettier or Mou Keyan was, do you think he understands at all?"

"Understands what?"

"I was jealous! Is that so hard to understand?"

"...He definitely understands, but I think he might pretend not to."

Guan Yongyi clenched her teeth, clenching her fingers in the darkness.

"Huh? Why?"

Zhou Sinin was curious.

"Sis, are you playing dumb? Not to mention other companies, he earns eight figures from just one Taobao shop. Do you have any idea how many girls are throwing themselves at him?"

Guan Yongyi shot her a glance, patiently enlightening her.

"Throwing themselves?"

"It’s exactly that—no future planning, no romantic relationship, just money involved."

"..."

Zhou Sinin fell silent.

"I deal with this sort of thing every day at the law firm. Even small bosses worth seven figures have swarms of women around them. Do you understand what it means to be young and successful?"

"Let me put it this way, if he entertained everyone who came his way, don’t even mention Mou Keyan, he could have a different bed partner every day of the week."

Guan Yongyi uttered each word sharply.

"...Really that exaggerated?"

Even though Zhou Sinin had thought about this issue, her imaginings were nothing compared to the real experiences of Guan Yongyi, an assistant at a top law firm.

"I’ve put it very mildly."

Guan Yongyi rattled on, "If you’re really planning on being with him, I advise you to get ready to turn a blind eye."

"No, whose side are you on!"

Zhou Sinin felt increasingly uncomfortable as she listened.

"Of course I’m on your side! But hard truths are hard to hear. If you get jealous over every trivial girl, he’ll lose patience with you eventually."

"His job requires interaction with girls. How can he keep his distance? Fire Mou Keyan? That’s Golden Phoenix we’re talking about!"

Guan Yongyi patted her best friend on the shoulder, her words heavy with meaning.

"So what if he fires her? I can help him earn it all back..."

Zhou Sinin’s voice grew fainter as she faced the meaningful gaze of the short-haired girl, feeling guilty and lowering her head.

"Then tell me, Guan Guan, if you were his girlfriend, could you really not get jealous at all?"

She landed a telling blow.

"Me...?"

Guan Yongyi wrapped her arms around her knees, her gaze drifting out the window with a hint of melancholy.

"Never getting jealous is impossible, but I can ignore most people."

"Those company girls count for nothing. If a girl is going to make me jealous, she has to be at least... as competitive as me."
