CHAPTER 367: SHOPPING SPREE

Wen Nuan’s voice was barely a whisper, almost an unconscious murmur. They rarely talked about their careers, and when they did, it would often lead to an argument. To avoid a fight, Wen Nuan usually kept quiet about her work.

She knew he would be unhappy.

She just didn’t expect that in his heart, all women in the entertainment industry were the same, including her.

He didn’t say it directly, but his words made it clear, and it hurt deeply.

Ye Feimo held Wen Nuan’s shoulders tightly. He said in a low voice, "Wen Nuan, I’m just stating the facts. Don’t let your imagination run wild and make yourself miserable. Can we just drop this?"

Wen Nuan looked up at Ye Feimo and smiled. She picked up her bag from the table and walked out without a word. Ye Feimo wanted to call out to her, but in the end, he didn’t say anything and watched her walk out of the office.

During her training that afternoon, Wen Nuan was absent-minded. Her training instructor was secretly confused. Wen Nuan was always very serious in class, and this was the first time she had been so distracted. He called her several times, but she didn’t respond.

He thought she was too busy and tired recently and hadn’t slept well, so she was not in the right state of mind. He let the class out two hours early. The instructor said, "Wen Nuan, don’t push yourself too hard. Go home and get some sleep."

"Thank you, instructor," Wen Nuan said with a faint smile. She went to Cai Xiaojing’s office, but she had already left. It was said that Lin Ning had dragged her away. Wen Nuan called Tang Mandong and Gao Chunmiao and asked them to go shopping with her. They readily agreed.

Tang Mandong didn’t have classes in the afternoon. She and Gao Chunmiao were nearby, so they came to pick up Wen Nuan.

"Busy bee, when did you have time to go shopping with us?" Gao Chunmiao said with a smile, coming over and hugging Wen Nuan. They all started joking around. Wen Nuan stuck out her tongue. The three of them were very close and would get together once a week. During the school year, they studied different majors and the campus was so big that it was hard for them to run into each other.

"Wen Nuan, Chunmiao is leaving us next semester," Tang Mandong said suddenly when the three of them were having afternoon tea.

"Why?"

"I’m going to Yale next semester. My acceptance letter came, and my dad is helping me with the paperwork. Wuwu, I’m going to miss you guys so much." Gao Chunmiao hugged Wen Nuan, looking for comfort.

Wen Nuan laughed. "Congratulations! This is an opportunity that others would die for. You’re amazing."

"Of course! Who do you think I am? I didn’t want to go to Harvard," Gao Chunmiao said, lifting her chin high. "Because my Prince Charming is at Yale, I’m going to Yale."

Tang Mandong couldn’t stand her lovestruck behavior, but she had to admit that in terms of academics and tests, Gao Chunmiao’s grades were always the best. This person had a knack for tests and could always get a good score.

"What’s your major?"

"Law."

Wen Nuan was speechless. "Why?"

"Because my Prince Charming is also a law student. I want to be his junior."

Tang Mandong said, "She’s going to Yale to chase a man. You think she really wants to leave A City and go to America to study?"

Wen Nuan’s lips twitched into a smile. "Are you being serious?"

Gao Chunmiao rolled her eyes at Wen Nuan. "You think everyone is as lucky as you, marrying a bachelor prince charming? These days, all the good men are being snatched up by other men. When you finally find one, you have to do whatever it takes to chase him. You just wait. Next year, I’m going to bring back a handsome North American guy for you to meet."

Tang Mandong was speechless.

Wen Nuan was also speechless.

Wen Nuan thought about her conflict with Ye Feimo and felt a pang of sadness. Tang Mandong had high standards and had never had a boyfriend. She was carefree and unrestrained. Gao Chunmiao had a crush on a man and was boldly traveling all the way to America to chase him. As for herself, she was already married.

It was as if this passionate youth had nothing to do with her.

"Wen Nuan, what’s wrong?" Tang Mandong asked.

"Nothing. I’m just thinking about what to buy later. I have a shopping addiction today," Wen Nuan said with a laugh. Tang Mandong snapped her fingers. It was exactly what she wanted to do. After tea, the three of them went shopping.

It was the first time Wen Nuan had ever felt like she was spending money like water. She swiped her card until her hand hurt, buying clothes, shoes, accessories, and makeup. She bought a whole bunch of things. Tang Mandong and Gao Chunmiao looked at Wen Nuan like she was an alien. Usually, when the three of them went shopping, Gao Chunmiao was the one who spent money like water, and Wen Nuan helped carry things. This time, Tang Mandong and Gao Chunmiao were the ones carrying things for her.

When Wen Nuan was trying on clothes at Prada, Gao Chunmiao asked Tang Mandong, "Is Nuan on steroids today?"

"She’s been triggered."

"Did her husband make her mad?"

"Most likely!"

The two of them were Wen Nuan’s best friends and knew her very well. Just by seeing her shopping so crazily, they could guess what happened. Wen Nuan came out after trying on a few outfits. She wasn’t very satisfied, but she ended up buying a bag there.

During that time, Tang Mandong and Gao Chunmiao went to the parking lot to put the things they had bought in the car and then came back to the mall. There were four large international malls connected in the area, and they had everything. The three of them shopped until the mall closed. In the evening, Ye Feimo called her and told her that he, Little White Mo, Tang Shuwen, and others were having dinner and would be home late. Wen Nuan, Tang Mandong, and Gao Chunmiao shopped until the mall closed.

The car was packed with stuff, almost all of it belonging to Wen Nuan. Tang Mandong only bought a pair of shoes, and Gao Chunmiao bought three dresses. The rest of the car was filled with Wen Nuan’s things. After leaving the mall, Gao Chunmiao couldn’t help but say, "Granny, you’re a married woman now, and you don’t feel a single ounce of guilt when you’re swiping your husband’s card."

Wen Nuan smiled, looking at all her loot in the car. She felt incredibly happy.

Tang Mandong gave her a sideways glance. "How much did you spend today?"

"I don’t know," Wen Nuan said, sticking out her tongue. She’d just ask Ye Feimo at the end of the month. She had no idea how much she had spent. It turns out shopping was such a happy thing. She decided she would go on more shopping sprees in the future.

"Let’s find a place to get some late-night food. I’m starving," Gao Chunmiao said, rubbing her calves. Among the three of them, Tang Mandong and Wen Nuan were tall, while Gao Chunmiao was more petite and delicate. So every time the three of them went out, Gao Chunmiao would wear a pair of 12-centimeter heels. After walking all day, her feet couldn’t take it anymore.

"You deserve it. Why do you always wear such high heels when we go out? Are you tired?"

"Who told you guys to be so tall?" Gao Chunmiao complained. The three of them decided to go to a food stall they often went to. Although it wasn’t a fancy place, the food was great. It was their favorite spot from their high school days.

The stall was on a slope, and there were a lot of cars. Wen Nuan and Gao Chunmiao got out of the car first, while Mandong went to find a parking spot.

Wen Nuan was just twisting the cap off her juice when she suddenly heard Gao Chunmiao from across the street shouting "look out!" as she pounced on her. She instinctively turned her head and saw a car speeding down the slope.
