Ye Qiuqiu’s husband, Chen Haobo, didn’t return for lunch. Ye Qiuqiu said he ate at the company cafeteria.

Mrs. Chen’s cooking was delicious, and she had been enthusiastically asking Lin Gantang to have more. Mr. Chen was relatively quiet, but he was very easy-going.

After lunch, Ye Qiuqiu got ready to bring Lin Gantang out for a walk. Mrs. Chen kept reminding her to be careful.

Lin Gantang came mainly to see Ye Qiuqiu and chat with her. She didn’t think about going out to have fun. After all, Ye Qiuqiu was pregnant and shouldn’t tire herself out.

Lin Gantang asked her if there was anywhere she wanted to go. Ye Qiuqiu sincerely said that she had to visit the food street to experience the local flavors.

Lin Gantang believed her and drove her there. Then, she saw that she was like a happy hamster stuffing her mouth and eating non-stop.

Lin Gantang was at a loss for words. “Shouldn’t I be the one trying the food? Why are you eating more happily than 1 am?”

“I’m pregnant,” Ye Qiuqiu said, pulling off a skewer. “My mother-in-law told me to avoid eating. Why wouldn’t I eat it when there’s such a good opportunity? Am I stupid?”

“I was just wondering why you brought me to the food street after lunch.” Lin Gantang felt ashamed. “So it’s to satisfy your craving.”

“You’re my buddy. There’s no need to be polite with you.” Ye Qiuqiu chuckled.

Lin Gantang didn’t dare to let her eat too much. She was afraid that she would overeat and get bloated, so she dragged her away when it was about time.

Ye Qiuqiu was satisfied. She finally remembered her good friend who cared about her. “Where are you staying tonight?”

“I booked a hotel nearby.”

“You’re leaving tomorrow? It’s so fast; 1 feel like I’ve only just met you.”

“Of course you want me to stay and accompany you to hunt for food outside every day.” Lin Gantang mercilessly exposed her.

Ye Qiuqiu laughed out loud after her cover was blown.

Ye Qiuqiu didn’t return home for dinner. Using Lin Gantang as an excuse, she continued to enjoy herself outside.

Chen Haobo asked his mum about it when he got home for dinner that night. When he found out that Ye Qiuqiu was still with her good friend, he transferred some money to her and told her to have fun.

Ye Qiuqiu had nothing much to say about the joy of seeing the money. Mrs. Chen brought out some dishes for dinner and mumbled, “Didn’t they say that girl is very rich? I saw her driving a Volkswagen. Your second uncle has one of that. It’s only a few hundred thousand yuan.”

Chen Haobo almost choked on his food. “Volkswagen? There are letters under the Volkswagen logo, right?”

He was not afraid of cars like Mercedes-Benz and Land Rover, but he was afraid of Volkswagens with letters.

“Why would I pay attention to that. But when 1 asked her what her family did during lunch, she said that her family has their own company,” Mrs. Chen muttered. “The threshold for registering a limited company isn’t high these days. Your third cousin said that he had his own company, but when I went to take a look, there were only two people in the company.”

“Mum, don’t talk nonsense if you don’t understand. Qiuqiu sent me a photo of the two of them before. Guess how much the bag in her friend’s hand costs?” Chen Haobo asked.

“How much? 10,000? Your cousin just bought something from D-brand. It’s like a treasure.”

“Mum, you have to go higher.”

“How much higher? 20,000? 50,000? It can’t be 100,000 yuan, right? It’s such a small bag.” Mrs. Chen gestured. “How expensive can it be?”

“It’s not that expensive. It’s just as much as a house in H City.”

“What!” Mrs. Chen was shocked.

“Mum, you didn’t making a fool of yourself in front of them, did you?” Chen Haobo asked helplessly. “Don’t talk nonsense if you don’t understand. Qiuqiu didn’t mention how much her friend was worth because she wants this friendship to be simple. When she comes back, don’t talk about whether her friend is rich or not in front of her.”

“That’s enough. Am 1 someone with such a lack of propriety?” Mrs. Chen said awkwardly..
