Chapter 217: Gloomy April Day_1

April was experiencing an unusually calm weather, although it was an overcast day, it was still considered to be good weather!

Lin Xiangwan and Zhou Ziqing had agreed to meet at the entrance of the museum. They bought tickets and walked through the gates!

The massive palace was just before their eyes, a cold draft blew over and the sound of crows cawing added an extra chill to the weather!

"So cold!" Lin Xiangwan tightened her coat, shivering as she spoke.

Zhou Ziqing, who only wore a thin tracksuit, looked at the grand and majestic main hall in front of her, not feeling cold at all. "I think it’s fine!"

"The last time I came was in October, the weather was good then, the sunlight shone on the glazed tiles, reflecting a golden glow, making it look truly splendid! Every scenery and item appeared so solemn and grand..." Lin Xiangwan reflected on her different experiences from her previous visit and this one!

She was amazed on her previous visit, but was inexplicably fearful this time!

"Countless people must have died in this Imperial Palace!" Zhou Ziqing casually mentioned it as they walked. "That’s why many who came here before mentioned how it radiates strong negative energy!"

"Yes!" Especially when thinking of the drama, Empresses in the Palace, perhaps people were hanged somewhere in the palace, drowned in the wells, or strangled in the rooms. Lin Xiangwan felt even stronger that this place wasn’t meant for people!

No wonder, now it’s a historical museum. Who would dare live in a place where so many have died!

"Did women back then really have such cruel hearts? Were they really capable of harming so many people to their deaths?" Lin Xiangwan didn’t mean to sigh a line.

"A single man has thousands of women, there would definitely be some jealousy and competition. The events in the TV drama are exaggerated, but many of them did actually happen. If you don’t make her die, she would make you die, what do you do in such a situation?" Zhou Ziqing spoke as if she could empathize. "Sometimes, women had no choice!"

"After all is said and done, it’s all the man’s fault, what was the need to have so many women?" Lin Xiangwan gave a shrug. "Then again, the birth rates were low back then, emperors would take more wives to secure more descendants! Which is normal!"

"Yes, it’s all due to environmental factors, which also led to fierce competition. The law of the jungle never changes!" Zhou Ziqing glanced at Lin Xiangwan. "The workplace is the same, and it will become even more so when you start your own business in the future, so you have to be very careful and intelligent!"

All these years, no one had ever given her such helpful advice before. For a moment, Lin Xiangwan saw Zhou Ziqing as a mentor who enlightened her on many things.

Even though, these were things she already knew is to be true!

"Yes!"

Walking towards another palace hall, a chillier wind blew at her. Lin Xiangwan felt another bout of shivers. "Thank you, sis. It’s really too cold here, the weather has become so unpredictable. Just a few days ago, I suffered from a heat stroke, now it has suddenly become so cold!!"

"Really?" Zhou Ziqing spared a glance at her, who was shaking from the cold. "Yet I don’t feel cold at all, and it seems like I’m wearing less than you."

"Yes!" Lin Xiangwan looked at her thin T-shirt once again!

"Hehe..." Zhou Ziqing laughed again, looking quite pleased. "Isn’t it strange? I somehow feel at home here. Wanwan, do you think I could’ve been the queen here in my past life?"

"Maybe!" This was a hypothetical question, so any reply would do!

"Yes, that’s why I don’t feel cold here at all, but you, you definitely aren’t connected to this place in any way, so you’re feeling frozen!" Zhou Ziqing said with some grandiose.

"Hehe..." Lin Xiangwan was amused by her overconfidence!

As they toured the palaces, Lin Xiangwan was already too tired after walking a short distance. She wanted to sit and rest awhile, but Zhou Ziqing was too excited to stop, so they continued walking. In the end, they managed to complete the visit!

As a treat, Zhou Ziqing asked Lin Xiangwan out for Hot Pot afterwards, which had nine squares and great taste!

Lin Xiangwan, who usually isn’t fond of spicy food, as it was too cold, couldn’t help but eat a lot of spicy food!

"Ziqing, have you found a job yet?" Lin Xiangwan asked.

"Mmhm, a company has already hired me, but I’m still considering whether or not I should accept!" Zhou Ziqing spoke as she ate.

"Which company?"

"A luxury goods company, the same old line of work, but this time the position I applied for is much higher!" Zhou Ziqing said, sounding pretty satisfied.

"Wow, any job related to luxury goods must be very prestigious. Even the salespersons at their counters earn tens of thousands a month!"

"It’s alright, this time I applied for the position of General Manager of the Promotions Department, before this I was just an employee in this department!"

"That’s a good department, you could probably plan Fashion Week... and you could interact with many top models and designers!"

"Something like that!" Zhou Ziqing laughed!

"That’s wonderful!" Zhou Ziqing said. "When you start your business in the future, I can help you!"

"Hehe——" Lin Xiangwan smiled bashfully. "My startup funds are very limited, if I start a business, the clothes would be ordinary, there might not even be a brand! It wouldn’t be in your league!"

"Alright, whatever I can help you with, I will try my best!"

"Thank you!" No matter what, it was polite to thank first!

"By the way, has your husband ever given you any gifts?" Zhou Ziqing casually asked.

"Oh, it’s alright!" Lin Xiangwan felt embarrassed to mention it.

After they got married, her husband gave her a credit card that she could not max out no matter how she spent, which made her lose interest in shopping.

"Hehe, if a man still thinks of giving his wife gifts after marriage, it indicates that you are very important to him, and he is afraid of losing you. If he doesn’t give you any gifts, then women need to be careful!"

"Oh..."

Lin Xiangwan thought about it, and he really hadn’t given her any thought out gifts for a while!

"Ziqing, enough about me, let’s talk about you. Has your boyfriend returned?"

"Not yet, he’s still in the USA!"

"Isn’t this quite problematic for you guys then, living in different countries?"

"Well, I came back first to test the waters. If his software promotion is successful this time, I’ll go back to the USA to live a good life with him. If nothing happens in two years, then he will return to China, depending on me!" Zhou Ziqing said with a huge smile!

Lin Xiangwan was very surprised, she couldn’t understand, at this age, isn’t it a time for both of them hustle together?

Zhou Ziqing saw the confusion in her eyes. "It can’t be helped, I’m getting older, I really want to get married and settle down, and my mother is here, I also have some lingering concerns here, so I have to come back!"
