Wang Manni is truly riding high lately. Among her trio of close friends—Gu Jia, Zhong Xiaoqin, and herself—she was always the one looked down upon, but now she is the one living the most spectacular life.
All of this, she owes to Chen Mu.
Gu Jia gazes at her, her eyes filled with envy. Zhong Xiaoqin also feels a surge of emotion, unable to help but muse to herself that, in life, it really is better to be pragmatic. Chen Mu is no ordinary man; he is not only rolling in wealth, but he is also a man of integrity and responsibility. The fact that he refuses to marry, however, is a sticking point for many women. But when you look at the world today, how many marriages are truly happy and fulfilling? Most are just people muddling through. Zhong Xiaoqin thinks that if she could do it all over again, she would rather choose a man like Chen Mu—someone who is unmarried but wealthy and responsible—than ever be fooled again by the mask of an "honest man" like Chen Yu. At this moment, her eyes remain full of envy, her heart filled with such deep regret for her own hasty marriage that she feels as though her insides are knotted with pain.
