Shangguan Xinyi couldn't help but say, "Mom, take me with you when you go!"

What are you going to do?

"Just to broaden my horizons."

Chu Mingshu instructed over the phone, "Then remember to find out more about the perfume."

"I understand!"

Shangguan Xinyi was getting impatient. Just then, she heard footsteps at the door. She saw Jiang Yu push the door open and enter, so she quickly said, "Mom, Sister Xiaoyu is here. I'll stop talking to you for now."

After saying that, Shangguan Xinyi hung up the phone, stood up to greet her, and said ingratiatingly, "Sister Xiaoyu, you've become even more beautiful in just a few days!"

Jiang Yu immediately laughed.

"I'm a mother of one, and you're still making fun of me?"

Shangguan Xinyi firmly replied, "It's because you take good care of yourself; you really are as beautiful as an eighteen-year-old girl!"

"You're getting more and more outrageous."

Although Jiang Yu said that, she kept a smile on her face: "Were you on the phone with Aunt Shu just now?"

"Yeah, my mom is so annoying. She's always worried that something might happen to me if I'm alone in the capital. She calls me about three hundred times a day."

Shangguan Xinyi pulled Jiang Yu to sit on a leather chair in the booth, and said with a troubled look, "Look at me, I eat and drink every day, and I'm doing just fine, aren't I? What's wrong with me? I haven't offended anyone."

Upon seeing this, Jiang Yu couldn't help but laugh.

"You're still just a child." Jiang Yu envied her; some people crave a mother's care but can't get it.

Shangguan Xinyi said coquettishly, "I'm not a child anymore, I want to be in a relationship!"

Jiang Yu asked curiously, "Do you have someone you like?"

"I guess so," Shangguan Xinyi said shyly. "Sister Xiaoyu, what's it like after you get married?"

"Didn't you just want to start dating? Why are you already thinking about marriage?"

"Isn't the point of dating to get married?"

Looking at Shangguan Xinyi's innocent face, Jiang Yu suddenly felt the urge to confide in her and also wanted to shatter her fairytale-like fantasy.

"Marriage isn't as good as you think."

really!

Shangguan Xinyi was startled: "Why? Shouldn't it be even sweeter?"

Jiang Yu originally thought so too, but in reality, her marriage was nothing more than wishful thinking on her part.

Jiang Yu slowly recounted what had happened an hour earlier.

By the end, she was in tears.

Shangguan Xinyi quickly handed her a tissue, saying incredulously, "Your husband actually got angry at you over a bottle of perfume?"

"Yeah, it's just a bottle of perfume, it doesn't even have a brand. When have I ever used something that cheap?"

Jiang Yu suddenly paused and explained, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it's bad, I just don't feel comfortable using it."

"I know, Sister Xiaoyu, there's no need to apologize."

"That perfume is sold out. Do you have any other perfume brands you like? I'll give it to you."

"No need, Sister Xiaoyu. I should be the one apologizing. If I hadn't wanted that perfume, your husband wouldn't have gotten angry with you."

"It has nothing to do with you."

Thinking of Gu Yilou, Jiang Yu felt a pang of bitterness in her heart.

Having obtained the information she wanted, Shangguan Xinyi saw that Xiaoyu was lost in thought and said, "Sister Xiaoyu, I often hear my mother say that you can't spoil a man. The better you treat him, the less he will cherish you. So you have to be a little bad to him, and he will cherish you even more."

Jiang Yu's eyes were filled with doubt: "A little bit bad?"

Shangguan Xinyi nodded: "Yes, but I don't know how to do it. You can call my mom and ask her. Anyway, she has my dad completely under her thumb."

Jiang Yu agreed, saying she would ask Aunt Shu for advice on managing her husband.
