If we swapped lives, I'd be the CEO and you'd take care of the kids.

Shen Yanqiu was unable to be discharged from the hospital that day. Her father demanded that she stay for a full week before she could go home. Later, after Shen Yanqiu endured her goosebumps and pleaded, she finally went home the next day.

Looking at the room she had only been familiar with for a few days, Shen Yanqiu felt a sense of reunion after a long separation.

Zhu's father ordered him to stay in bed and not even get up to eat. He had only been lying in bed for most of the day, but his back was already aching. Just as he was thinking of sneaking out for some fresh air, an unexpected person arrived.

"Zhu Tingyue, am I still your little darling? You won't even answer my calls!"

Jiang Wanyun pushed open the door and entered, immediately launching into a tirade against Shen Yanqiu. She stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the cast on his leg.

"You're really injured? We've both been going to the hospital a lot lately, aren't we just too unlucky!"

Seeing Shen Yanqiu's stunned expression, he reached out to push him, but Shen Yanqiu dodged him in an instant.

Jiang Wanjun looked at his agile movements with disbelief in her eyes. Last time he was eight feet away from her, but this time he actually dodged it!

"You're avoiding me? Zhu Tingyue, am I some kind of monster? You won't even let me touch you!"

Shen Yanqiu couldn't explain to her that if he had known Jiang Wanjun was coming, he would rather have stayed in the hospital and grown old than ever step into his home!

"Speak, Zhu Tingyue, are you mute?!"

Jiang Wanjun raised her voice, making Shen Yanqiu's ears ring.

Shen Yanqiu felt sorry for Zhu Tingyue. He used to think that Zhu Tingyue could anger him with just a few words. Now, looking at Jiang Wanjun, he hadn't said a word yet, but she kept talking to herself, and her voice was incredibly loud.

You don't know until you compare, and the difference is startling. Compared to her, Zhu Tingyue can truly be considered gentle.

"Keep your voice down!" Shen Yanqiu imitated Zhu Tingyue's tone, trying his best to sound arrogant.

"Oh, it's my fault after all! Tell me, why didn't you answer my calls?"

Of course, she didn't want to answer! Why? Can't Jiang Wanyun use her brain? Why does she have to dig so deep? Luckily, she's Zhu Tingyue's friend. If she were my own friend, I would definitely ridicule her mercilessly to make her realize her place.

No, I could never make friends like that!

Unable to bear his silence, Jiang Wanyun leaned closer again, and he immediately tensed up and assumed a defensive posture.

Jiang Wanjun felt like she had suffered 10,000 points of damage!

What's wrong with Zhu Tingyue? They used to share a bed! Now that they're closer, why is she so wary of me?

"Zhu Tingyue, tell me honestly, do you have another dog outside? You're keeping yourself pure for someone else and distancing yourself from me, right?"

"What dog? No! Don't make wild guesses!" Shen Yanqiu denied it. He knew that Jiang Wanjun never said a nice thing.

"Hmph, you're just lying to me! Since you broke up with Xu Qingjia, when have you ever acted like this? Even when you were with that pretty boy Shen Yanqiu, you never said I couldn't get close!"

Shen Yanqiu was stunned to hear such words. This was the second time he had heard Xu Qingjia's name! Zhu Tingyue said there was nothing between them, but now it seemed that was not the case at all!

They had a good relationship, at least they used to! He must have been very important to Zhu Tingyue. In Zhu Tingyue's heart, he was definitely different from others. Even Jiang Wanjun could distance herself from him, which shows Xu Qingjia's status!

"Tell me the truth, is he back?" Jiang Wanjun pressed him.

Shen Yanqiu didn't even know who he was or what he looked like, let alone whether he had returned or not.

"How should I know? Go ask him!"

"Didn't you tell me not to contact him? Oh right, didn't you say last time that he would come back when you got married?"

What? He'll come back when Zhu Tingyue gets married? To be the groom? That makes sense, what else could he be doing? Otherwise, why would he only come back when Zhu Tingyue gets married? When can't he come back?

Shen Yanqiu felt a tightness in her chest and a bit uncomfortable.

The leaves outside the window were falling in the autumn wind. Shen Yanqiu felt like one of those leaves, about to fall. She was completely at the mercy of the autumn wind that Zhu Tingyue was blowing her in, and had no self-awareness or control over herself.

But Zhu Tingyue clearly did nothing. Just a few days ago, she was peacefully being Miss Zhu.

Now, she is obediently playing the role of "Shen Yanqiu".

In the future, she might become Mrs. Xu, and then she would have nothing to do with me anymore.

Thinking of this possibility, Shen Yanqiu suddenly became nervous. He really wanted to ask Zhu Tingyue if she really wanted to be Mrs. Xu. Could she please not agree to Xu Qingjia's request, even if it was just like this, like it is now!

His expression kept changing, which amazed Jiang Wanjun: How strange! What is she thinking? Why can't I understand her?

"Hey, snap out of it! Who's got your mind wandering off to? Tell me, let me give you some advice!"

Interrupted by Jiang Wanjun, Shen Yanqiu snapped back to reality: "Nobody's here, don't overthink it!"

"Tch, you're kidding me! You have your own little secrets now, but poor me, all alone, worrying about you day and night!"

She sighed deeply, a sight that made Shen Yanqiu laugh.

"To be honest, it's a shame you don't go into acting!"

"Really? You also think I should go into acting?" Jiang Wanjun exclaimed in surprise.

No, how come she can't understand good and bad words? Shen Yanqiu doubted her intelligence.

She continued rambling, "You know Chen Can, right? Her family owns a film and television company. Tell me, if I treat her to a meal, could she let me work as an actress in her company?"

"Are you serious? Do you think being an actor is easy? Hardworking, diligent, quick-witted—which of these qualities do you possess?" Shen Yanqiu questioned her.

"You... I don't have these points," she said honestly, "but nobody else in the entertainment industry does either!"

She even looked down on others?

"Why do you care whether others have it or not? Just remember that you don't!"

“I don’t care. I’m not doing this for money. It’s just a hobby. Do you understand?” She emphasized her hobby, as if afraid others wouldn’t understand.

"I don't understand! I don't understand! You think you do understand!"

The two started bickering like elementary school students, and the topic kept drifting further and further away.

Mom knocked on the door, and another person walked in.

Jiang Wanjun only caught a glimpse of a figure, then pursed her lips, turned away, and deliberately avoided looking at her.

Shen Yanqiu was curious. Who was it that she disliked so much?

The person quickly approached and greeted her familiarly, "Tingyue, how are you? Are you feeling any better? You have no idea how worried I was when I heard about what happened to you. I couldn't wait a moment longer and came to see you right away."

Before Shen Yanqiu could answer, Jiang Wanyun spoke up: "Oh dear, you're worrying too much. If you had come any later, Yueyue's injury would have healed by now!"

Even if Shen Yanqiu didn't understand the grudges between the group, she could tell that Jiang Wanyun was targeting her, so she probably wasn't a good person! Shen Yanqiu made her own deduction.
