"It's fine, A-Chen. Jade is priceless—as long as we like it, that's all that matters. We earned this money ourselves, so we can spend it however we want. We're buying happiness and having fun to the fullest. Even if we cut open marble, we can afford to enjoy ourselves. Unlike some people, who can only rely on men to pick up scraps." Su Ningwei shot Jiang Xiaocha a disdainful look and fired back directly.
Jiang Xiaocha had been struck right where it hurt, yet she did not dare say anything more, afraid of humiliating herself again.
Ye Chen was in a good mood and could not be bothered with Jiang Xiaocha. He could not even spare her a glance. He merely smiled, rubbed the top of Su Ningwei's head, and replied gently, "You're right. As long as you like it, I'll buy it for you. If you want to make bracelets from the jade rough we buy, then make bracelets. If you want to turn it into beads, then turn it into beads. It's entirely up to you."
"Mhm, mhm. A-Chen, you're so good to me." Su Ningwei leaned happily into Ye Chen's arms.
Watching Ye Chen treat Su Ningwei so well and spend so generously on her, Jiang Xiaocha was driven nearly mad with jealousy. Envy churned within her, but she did not dare reveal even a trace of it for fear that Du Ziteng would notice.
Liu Qianqian, standing nearby, naturally heard the conversation between Ye Chen and Su Ningwei. Her heart felt sour and astringent, as though she had bitten into a green lemon.
Still, Liu Qianqian was glad that she had not fallen for the wrong person back then. Ye Chen truly was an excellent man, good in every way, worthy of being the white moonlight
