The staff heard their boss being envied, and felt a sense of pride.
"Yes, not only is she beautiful and from a wealthy family, but she's also very low-key. On the opening day, she even wore a work uniform like the boss to cheer her on. She's definitely a good sister."
"Oh, the rich definitely like to hang out with the rich. When will my bestie become a rich woman?"
The bestie said.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine once I marry a husband like that."
"Give me a break. Those who marry rich handsome men are usually beautiful and wealthy. The higher the family status, the more demanding people are about background."
"People like us from poor peasant backgrounds get scrutinized even for wanting to marry a middle-class person. And you still want to marry into a wealthy family? Don't even think about it."
The bestie pouted.
"What does your boss's family do? Is she really from a wealthy family?"
"Can't you say something about a Cinderella and Prince Charming love story to let me keep some illusions?"
The staff member chuckled.
"Our boss's family is from Jincheng. Her father's business is in coal mining..."
As soon as they heard Jincheng, they knew the family had money.
"Forget it, as expected, she's from a wealthy family. Let's just stop fantasizing and focus on working hard."
The two joked and chatted, combining their own situations.
Xiang Wan listened from the side, her heart feeling like it was being pricked by needles.
It felt as if every word was slapping her in the face.
"Sister Wan, we chose package B. Which one do you plan to choose?"
If she hadn't seen the photo, Xiang Wan would have unhesitatingly signed up for a membership here.
But since she had seen it...
"I might be traveling frequently for a while, so I won't be able to use it much. I'll come back when I'm less busy."
"You guys sign up first, and I'll join you later."
The two didn't insist and proceeded with their own transactions.
Xiang Wan stood aside, waiting, her face pale and distracted.
A moment later, the sound of elegant high heels echoed.
Following the sound, the beautiful face from the photo appeared.
Chen Jiaojiao, with her wavy hair, impeccable makeup, wearing a seasonal black Chanel dress and high heels, walked towards them with a smile.
Although Xiang Wan had never seen her before, she recognized her immediately from the photo.
She was deeply drawn in by Chen Jiaojiao's powerful aura.
Chen Jiaojiao had things to do, and was just passing by.
But the reception staff saw her and naturally greeted her.
"Hello, Ms. Chen."
Chen Jiaojiao glanced over and gave a small wave.
"Hello."
Her voice was pleasant as well.
Then she drifted past, leaving a trail of fragrance.
The two girlfriends couldn't help but gossip again.
"Is she your boss? Wow, she looks even more beautiful in person than in the photo."
"Her figure, her skin, it's practically defying nature. No wonder she's in the beauty business. Your boss's husband is so lucky. What a stunner!"
The staff member replied, "You haven't seen her husband in person."
"He's tall, handsome, and young, with good skin too. They're a perfect match. I think he's also a stunner among men."
"Oh, when your boss and her husband are together, please give me a call!"
"I want to rush over to patronize you and witness the talented couple. Let me tell you, I don't have many hobbies, but I love shipping couples, especially real-life ones!"
"Since I'm not in a relationship myself, it's interesting to watch others date!"
The staff member laughed heartily at her joke.
"Okay, I'll tell the boss later to let her husband visit more often. Maybe female customers will sign up impulsively when they see him."
"That's a good idea. You're a very smart employee, and your boss will promote you."
"Hahaha."
Xiang Wan's mood became even more complicated.
With all the talking and laughing, their work naturally slowed down.
Chen Jiaojiao returned from outside, and they still hadn't finished their transactions.
Chen Jiaojiao walked towards them with a smile.
"Excuse me for interrupting. Xiao Li, is the insulated lunch box delivered at noon still with you?"
"Yes, it is."
"The driver specifically told you to drink it on time, but you're still too busy to have time. I wonder if it's cold yet. Do you want me to reheat it?"
"No need. It should still be warm. I'll just drink it as is."
Chen Jiaojiao said gently.
"To be honest, these things are fine to drink occasionally, but they get quite tiresome if you drink them too often. If you guys want, I can share some with you."
"No, Ms. Chen. This was specially stewed for you by your wife. It wouldn't be right to share it with us."
"Oh, but she's not pregnant yet. Drinking it every day, how can she stand it? It would be a shame to waste it. Let's all drink it together, and get fat together."
She joked.
"I'll pour some out in my office later and bring it to you. Also, please don't spread this around."
"If my mother-in-law finds out, I'll probably have to kneel on a washboard when I get home."
"Haha, Ms. Chen, don't worry, we understand."
"Alright, you guys carry on. I'm leaving now."
Chen Jiaojiao, carrying a beautiful insulated lunch box, walked further inside.
The staff members watched her retreating back, a sweet smile on their lips.
"Oh, what kind of luck does she have? Not only is her husband good, but her mother-in-law is also good."
"To help her maintain her health, she brings her food every day. Their mother-daughter relationship is so good. It's truly enviable."
The bestie exclaimed in surprise.
"Is there such a good mother-in-law in the world? She probably wants her to have a baby soon, right?"
"That's for sure. Which mother-in-law doesn't want to hold their grandchild early?"
"And one of them is so handsome, and the other is so beautiful. Their genes are so strong, who knows how beautiful their child will be? Who wouldn't want that?"
"How long have they been married? This couple is so easy to ship!"
"I heard it's only been a few months. I don't know the exact time, but they had a childhood betrothal. It was decided from a young age."
"Ah?"
"Isn't that romantic? Anyway, given their current state, getting pregnant is only a matter of time. Even before she's pregnant, she's already pampered to the heavens. If they have a chubby baby boy..."
On the way back, the two were still discussing Chen Jiaojiao.
Xiang Wan drove in silence, not saying a word.
After a long time, the bestie finally reacted.
"Sister Wan, what's wrong? You don't look well. Are you feeling unwell?"
Xiang Wan was indeed feeling unwell.
Perhaps she was too stimulated today. She felt dizzy and a little nauseous.
"It's nothing. My period is coming, and my stomach hurts a little. I don't feel like talking."
"You might have a cold uterus. I suggest you see a Chinese medicine doctor if you have time. I happen to know a pretty good old Chinese doctor. Would you like me to recommend them?"
"No, thank you. I don't have time today. I'll ask you when I feel like going."
As she finished speaking, Xiang Wan's thoughts drifted.
Her period usually came around the 25th of each month.
Lately, in her excitement, she had neglected this.
Today was already the 10th, and her period still hadn't arrived.
