"I don't have a girlfriend, so maybe I can check out my girlfriend's friends and roommates later. They are all good options," Wang Shun Yuan said.
Jiang Chen smiled and didn't say much more.
"By the way, Boss, why don't you tell us how you met your wife?" Liu Ying shifted the topic.
"Alright, I'll share that," Wang Shun Yuan replied with a smile as he walked along.
Wang Shun Yuan's girlfriend, Huang Lin, was from Beijing, but she hailed from the rural outskirts of Fangshan. Don't assume that all Beijingers are wealthy; those houses beyond the Fifth Ring Road in the rural areas haven't been demolished and lack funds.
Huang Lin graduated from Beijing Language University and worked as a Russian translator at a translation agency. Since graduating, Wang Shun Yuan had entered a design company in Beijing and was thriving there. His department manager held him in high regard. At that time, Wang Shun Yuan's company took on a design project from Russia that required translation services, which led him to Huang Lin. Sometimes, fate plays its part, and Wang Shun Yuan and Huang Lin got to know each other and eventually developed feelings for one another after going through some experiences together.
"I didn't expect your wife to be from Beijing! So her friends must all be locals too. That's daunting. I shouldn't even think about it; people from Beijing have high standards and probably wouldn't look at someone like me from the countryside," Liu Ying said, suddenly feeling inferior.
"Liu Ying, when you truly like someone, you'll understand what it means to be reckless in love. I'm also from the countryside. To tell you the truth, Huang Lin's parents didn't agree to her marrying me at first. I was ready to give up, but guess how Huang Lin convinced her parents?" Wang Shun Yuan said.
"What did she do? Did she get pregnant before marriage?" Liu Ying asked.
"Liu Ying, how did you guess? That's exactly what happened," Wang Shun Yuan laughed.
"Wow, I've never even seen a swan before! It's always portrayed like this in dramas. But it sounds a bit forced; I bet there will be some trouble after marriage. Boss, you need to be careful," Liu Ying teased.
"It's fine; I've thought about all this. Once I buy a house in the Third Ring Road of Beijing in the future, they won't say anything anymore," Wang Shun Yuan said confidently, full of youthful vigor.
"I can't even imagine buying a house in the Third Ring Road of Beijing," Liu Ying said as she patted Wang Shun Yuan on the shoulder with a look of helplessness.
As they spoke, Jiang Chen and the others arrived at a restaurant.
"This is the place; let's go in," Wang Shun Yuan smiled.
Inside one of the private rooms at the restaurant, six girls were chatting animatedly. When Jiang Chen and the others pushed the door open, their voices abruptly stopped as all the girls turned to look at them, and Jiang Chen and his friends also gazed back at the girls.
"Xiao Lin, these two are my roommates—this is Liu Ying and this is Gao Kang. And this is my childhood friend, Jiang Chen," Wang Shun Yuan introduced with a smile.
Jiang Chen had met Huang Lin in his previous life and naturally recognized her. However, it was Liu Ying and Gao Kang's first time meeting Huang Lin, so they couldn't help but scrutinize her closely.
Huang Lin wasn't exactly stunningly beautiful; if one had to describe her, she was graceful and gentle with two dimples when she smiled.
Jiang Chen had a good impression of Huang Lin since he had stayed at her family's home for some time in his past life. She had always been warm and welcoming, leaving a lasting impression on him.
In his previous life, Wang Shun Yuan had taken care of Jiang Chen in many small ways—perhaps just minor favors or gestures—but now that Jiang Chen had gained his own abilities in this life, he naturally intended to repay them manifold.
