My Hubby Can't Stop Pampering Me

How do I put it, it’s like how a child eagerly anticipates a toy, exhausts all efforts but still cannot get it. When he is already worn down nearly to despair, and you finally buy it for him, he won’t have the same intense longing for it that he once did.

She carried on directing the work, answering indifferently, “No time. Four days for three nights, at best it would waste two workdays, am I just giving up my full attendance?”

What’s full attendance, would it bring in a thousand bucks a month? Tickets to Hanhai’s maiden flight are worth two hundred thousand though!

Xue Feifei pointed a finger at her, “You dunce, weren’t you previously willing to spend 200K to go, why not now when it’s being offered to you? Even if you honestly don’t want to go, you could pick up the ticket and resell it?”

Fortunately, work here was almost finished. Lu Weixi undid her helmet, packed up her things, and didn’t return to the company, instead, she went out with Xue Feifei.

The two women went to the bar beneath Yuechun Apartments again, but this time they just ordered two cocktails and some light snacks, taking a seat at the bar. Lu Weixi knew that Xue Feifei had some troubles playing on her mind because of her sudden visit, but she didn’t ask since Feifei didn’t speak of it.

After three rounds of drinks, Lu Weixi nabbed the last piece of apple from the fruit platter, and the adjacent Feifei also set down her glass. It was rare to see her so silent, the last time she was this quiet was when her dad was running away from money due, and her boyfriend Huang Qichu broke up with her.

Sure enough, Feifei, looking a bit dazed, was staring at a young man playing the guitar onstage, “I saw Qichu today.”

Feifei and Lu Weixi grew up together, and Feifei’s dad and Lu’s parents were classmates. Although the Xue family wasn’t as affluent as the Bai family, they were middle class, and life was pretty good. Shouldn’t she have married Huang Qichu by now, gotten a job, and simply lived a normal life, if only her father hadn’t been absorbed in gambling?

However, Feifei understood why Huang Qichu broke up with her. Who could tolerate having a gambler for a future father-in-law, one who owed a lot of money at that?

Given Feifei’s looks, it wouldn’t be difficult for her to rise in the entertainment industry, but she rejected all offers. First, her moral bottom line was relatively high. Second, she had been well-off once, she wouldn’t stoop for petty benefits. Thirdly, there was always Huang Qichu in her heart.

“Qichu told me he’s getting married. He’s such a good guy, I should be happy for him. But it still hurts very much.”

Lu Weixi didn’t know what to say, she just kept drinking with her, one drink after another. Luckily, the cocktails they ordered were all low in alcohol content, she made sure of that. The drinks weren’t getting Feifei drunk but she was getting dizzy anyway, “Weixi, you should still go on that cruise.”

Lu Weixi was speechless, why is it suddenly being turned back to her? Just as she was about to speak, Feifei let out another sentence, “I know what you’re bothered about, but like us now, clinging onto our pride and honor, what can we do? If you have a chance for success, you should fight through all obstacles to seize it. If I had money like I do now back then, Qichu wouldn’t have left me. You’re talented, what you lack is simply an opportunity, don’t give it up so easily.”

Lu Weixi said nothing, she couldn’t drive after drinking, so it made sense to spend the night with Feifei.

After seeing Feifei settled, Lu Weixi took out her phone, thought for a bit, and then made a call to her boss, “Boss, could I take this Friday and next Monday off?”
