He Shasha was startled and her complexion changed. Her pace slowed down considerably as she seed lost in thought, until Nan Fei patted her shoulder and brought her back to reality.
"Are you okay?"
"I’m fine!" He Shasha shook her head, then uncharacteristically sighed and said, "Nan Fei, why are things in this world so complicated? Why is human nature so cold?"
Nan Fei knew she was upset and comforted her: "Not everything is like that! There are many cruel things, sure, but there are also many beautiful ones. Like you and , and Lu Qingtian who went to college in another city, and Xin Wu and our roommates, and so on. Isn’t eting such good people also a wonderful thing?"
As soon as He Shasha heard that, she laughed and slung an arm around Nan Fei’s shoulder, saying in a carefree manner, "You’re right, knowing you is the best thing ever." She always felt that having Nan Fei, such a good friend, was the greatest fortune.
Ever since she t Nan Fei, she was no longer afraid of being used or hurt by friends. She could confidently entrust her back to Nan Fei, and even her life.
He Shasha glanced at Nan Fei’s delicate profile out of the corner of her eye, and silently made a resolution in her heart. She must not give up on her, even if Nan Fei gave up on herself, she would absolutely not give up.

The next day was a rest day, and both Nan Fei and He Shasha stayed at the villa. They had originally planned to take a day off to visit Jiang Yang at the sanatorium, but in the morning they received a call from Chen Cuihua inviting them for lunch.
So they slept in and didn’t leave the house until nearly noon, arriving early at the hotel they had agreed upon. Chen Cuihua had booked a private room in advance, and by the ti they arrived, both Chen Cuihua and Gu Qiu were already there.
Nan Fei brightened up when she saw Gu Qiu, who quickly shot her a pleading look.
Nan Fei nodded slightly and took her seat.
"Sister Chen, how co soone as busy as you has ti to look for ?" Nan Fei teased with a smile, earning an eye roll from Chen Cuihua.
"You have the nerve to ask? Who’s busier, you or ?" Chen Cuihua was practically brimming with grievances, "You tell —since you started university, it’s one thing not to have any new works, which I don’t hold against you. But you hardly even give the ti of day to et, isn’t that a bit too much?"
"That’s not true!" Nan Fei was not about to admit it, "You’re the busy big boss of this listed company, I wouldn’t dare disturb you."
"Hehehe..." Chen Cuihua scoffed, "Little FeiFei isn’t cute at all now, and doesn’t sound nice either. I prefer Gu Qiu much more."
Nan Fei: "..."
Little FeiFei? What kind of nickna is that?
"Speaking of which, I am really grateful for the legal team this ti." Nan Fei switched to a serious tone and sincerely thanked her. Sister Chen had helped her out a lot with this matter.
"Please, don’t ntion it." Chen Cuihua was actually very happy to help Nan Fei, she wished Nan Fei would reach out to her more often!
In fact, it was thanks to Nan Fei’s blessing that her company could do so well after moving to Imperial City—without Huo Kewei backing her, the company would not have achieved its current scale.
It’s not easy to get into the circles of Imperial City.
The four of them chatted while waiting for the food to be served. At so point, they opened a bottle of red wine. Nan Fei and Gu Qiu did not drink, but He Shasha and Chen Cuihua poured half-glasses each and enjoyed it imnsely.
