Ouyang Qing and Wu Yufei discuss relationships and past crushes while driving. Wu Yufei teases Ouyang Qing about her budding romance with Xie Wendong, revealing she knows about their office affair. Ouyang Qing, embarrassed, admits they are 'getting to know each other.' The conversation shifts to Wu Yufei's past feelings for Jiang Chen, revealing her hidden admiration and how she regrets not being braver.

Clothes make the man, and the saddle makes the horse.

Wealthy material conditions are enough to build the temperament of most people.

Of course.

There are also those who can’t even pretend to be a Crown Prince after donning a Dragon Robe.

These people are quite rare.

What’s even rarer are those whose temperament needs no external material reinforcement; even without a Dragon Robe, sitting there, they are known to be extraordinary.

Such people often have had their material desires fully satisfied and then start to pursue the richness of the spiritual world, as the Daoist Sect would say, it’s the so-called return to simplicity, the great path being simple.

"What’s the situation? Did you have liposuction?"

Before everyone arrived, Jiang Chen, somewhat linked to the Daoist Sect, sat down and started teasing his old classmate.

Previously, when they reunited in River City, "Brother Dong," whose name and person were worlds apart, although he had a good position in the power department, was under such heavy work pressure that he was no different from the average Joe in society.

Unlike now.

He is full of spirit, radiating glory.

And the biggest change is.

This fellow has already started gaining weight in advance; last time we met, you could already spot the swimming ring. But now, even if he can’t be considered a hunk, he’s at least tall at over 1.7 meters, and his figure has returned to the standard of a normal male.

"Hehe, liposuction isn’t just painful, it also carries huge risks; it could cost you your life. I couldn’t bear that kind of suffering. It was just the effect of working out."

"Working out?"

A fat person is not fat because they like to eat.

The deeper reason is laziness, sloth.

He started gaining weight in his twenties, so Xie Wendong definitely wasn’t a diligent person, but working out requires endurance.

"Fallen in love?"

Jiang Chen asked without any warning.

"What’s working out got to do with falling in love?"

Fang Qing couldn’t understand his logic and completely missed the shocked look Xie Wendong gave upon hearing Boss Jiang’s sudden question.

"When a man suddenly cares about his image, it can only mean one thing. He has a crush."

Jiang Chen was casual yet confident.

Fang Qing was speechless, pondered a bit, and realized—

It makes quite a bit of sense.

She looked again at the fellow alumni she hardly remembers.

Alright.

She underestimated the guy’s sharp observation skills.

"Jiang Chen... you..."

Xie Wendong, also a terrible liar, was shocked and impressed by the opponent’s Fiery Eyes and Divine Skills.

No wonder he’s so successful.

If he had that ability, could deduce someone’s life situation and recent experiences at a glance, the company’s business would have to double.

"Don’t look at me like that. You can’t learn this skill."

Boss Jiang was smug and then asked, "Did you invite her?"

"Huh?"

"Invite her to join us, she can definitely fit."

Xie Wendong was embarrassed, not knowing how to respond.

"Don’t tell me you haven’t settled it yet, you’re Mr. Xie now."

Xie Wendong was even more embarrassed.

"Why are you so gossip-minded, just like a woman."

Fang Qing tried to help defuse the situation.

"Back in school, Brother Dong was my private tutor, and he was that kind who didn’t even charge. It’s his first relationship, shouldn’t I care?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Qing couldn’t help but look at Xie Wendong again.

What’s the matter.

Isn’t it odd having a first love?

It’s like she herself hasn’t had her first yet.

"Didn’t I say correctly? It’s your first, right?"

Jiang Chen asked.

Xie Wendong subconsciously nodded, completely unaware that he was admitting the fact of his change in romantic status.

If this were at the negotiating table, it would mean being led by the nose.

"It’s okay not to invite her, just show us a photo."

Xie Wendong came to his senses, but denying it now would surely be too tardy, "I... don’t... don’t..."

He stumbled over his words.

Fang Qing was amused.

"Why are you shy? I just want to give you a reference." Jiang Chen teased lightly, "Didn’t you just see I’m great at reading people."

"..."

Xie Wendong remained silent.

Jiang Chen furrowed his brow.

"Oh my gosh!"

He suddenly exclaimed.

"Don’t tell me it’s Ouyang Qing!"

Xie Wendong’s eyes widened, shocked once more.

"Is it really the old disciplinarian?"

"Are you seriously good at fortune telling?"

With eyes wide, Jiang Chen let out a long breath, "Your resolve is too weak, how could you not resist..."

"Even rabbits don’t eat the grass around their burrows."

He shook his head.

"What does their relationship have to do with you?"

Qing Gege spoke up righteously.

Boss Jiang wanted to speak but didn’t, chuckling to himself, then silently taking a sip of cold water.

"Why are you laughing?"

Xie Wendong asked cautiously and confusedly.

Jiang Chen gave a thumbs up, "Good choice, the old disciplinarian is so capable. Stronger than most men, you’ve found yourself a solid partner."

"Yes, Ouyang is indeed very capable. At work, she takes on more than I do."

Who knows what he was thinking, but Boss Jiang’s smile grew even brighter.

"Alright."

Fang Qing quietly reminded him to stay restrained.

"Jiang Chen, did you not expect this?"

Xie Wendong asked embarrassedly.

"I certainly didn’t expect it. I thought a woman like the old disciplinarian... wouldn’t like men. You have the skills."

Xie Wendong was embarrassed, "Actually, we’re just trying it out..."

"It’s a good thing. Knowing the background, being classmates, if it really works out, it could be a great story in our circle of classmates."

Xie Wendong smiled, seemingly drawn into the scenario described by Boss Jiang, his smile infused with longing.

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but take another sip of water.

Unconsciously.

It seems he has once again altered the trajectory of two people’s destinies.

He truly didn’t mean to.

"The old disciplinarian... rather tough in character, when dealing with her, be more accommodating, understanding, and patient."
