After the Fake Young Lady Stole Everything from Me, I Became the World's Sweetheart

Chapter 10: Chapter Ten: Incomprehension

The group bought a lot of delicious food and celebrated the official establishment of their studio with a business lunch in the meeting room.

It was a great blessing for close friends to appreciate each other and work together for the same goal.

Chang Yuan called Yun Nan and stated, "Young Madam, the lawyer has spoken to the Yun Corporation's attorney and is informed of the situation. Young Master wants to know if you have any other requests in addition to getting back your script and the remuneration due to you."

"No, that's it," Yun Nan answered after some thought.

"You can ask for compensation," Chang Yuan added.

Yun Nan sighed and said, "We'll reserve the right to claim compensation, just in case the Yun Corporation has a follow-up."

Chang Yuan agreed, "Indeed. The Yun Corporation will suffer considerable losses if you leave. When the Yun family regain their senses, they will probably go back on their word."

"I'll leave everything in your capable hands, Assistant Chang."

Chang Yuan hesitated before relaying, "Young Master said not to forget about dinner tonight."

'Tsk!' Yun Nan was annoyed, but she calmly replied, "Tell him not to worry. I never break my promises."

'Since he got his lawyer to help me settle tens of millions of dollars, I will let that childish man get his way!'

Chang Yuan put down the phone and looked at Shi Nian, puzzled. The man's lips had curled into a rare smile; he seemed in a good mood.

Chang Yuan curiously asked, "What was that about dinner?"

"She knows how to cook," Shi Nian commented offhandedly. Thinking of the soft and fragrant omelet he ate this morning, Shi Nian was in an extremely good mood.

He hadn't had such a delicious home-cooked breakfast ever since he left home to live alone; even the milk tasted better than usual.

'Living together with the girl has its perks. It's a pleasant surprise.'

Yun Nan drove Fang Xi home after work. Fang Xi lived with her steady boyfriend—her senior—for many years. However, Yun Nan had never met him, and Fang Xi never brought it up.

Yun Nan only knew that Fang Xi got together with the senior after painstakingly pursuing him, and their relationship was very precious to her. However, the couple's relationship didn't seem very sweet to Yun Nan, but she didn't pry; they were probably just reserved in their feelings.

While Yun Nan was driving, Fang Xi asked with a smile, "Yun Nan, did you ever have feelings for a guy?"

Yun Nan shook her head and responded, "No."

"Whoa, that was fast. What makes you so certain? You're young still, but I know you have a lot of admirers. After all, you were the belle of your year," Fang Xi teased.

Yun Nan looked at Fang Xi, exasperated. "You know very well that I'm a poor girl who spends all her energy on earning money. I don't have time to spare on such things."

"There's no conflict between making money and dating," Fang Xi groused.

Yun Nan laughingly quipped, "Maybe I'm just not made for love. I don't need a boyfriend, so what's the purpose of getting one? For security? I have a career, and I can earn money. I give myself security; I don't need to look for it from others. I can't think of anything I lack that a boyfriend can make up for."

Fang Xi smiled bitterly and muttered, "You're still young and inexperienced. But that's a good mindset; you won't get hurt that way."

Yun Nan sensed something was wrong and gently asked, "Did you fight with your boyfriend?"

Fang Xi turned her head and looked out the window. She didn't say anything.

Yun Nan didn't press any further. She wasn't good at comforting others; she didn't know how to comfort someone in Fang Xi's situation.

After a long silence, Fang Xi slowly revealed her woes, "You know the phrase, the seven-year itch? They say that the cells in a person's body change once every seven years. In other words, you are a completely different person than the one you were seven years ago."

She continued, "I guess the same applies to feelings. It's been seven years, but our relationship didn't bear fruit. Just two individuals who are heartily sick of each other."

The car slowly stopped outside Fang Xi's neighborhood.

Yun Nan reached out to pat Fang Xi's head. "Then, we'll get you a new boyfriend! Since you're no longer the you of the past, and he's also changed, let's just end things. If he has become another person, what's to say someone else won't become another him? There's plenty of fish in the sea, so why not put yourself out there?"

Fang Xi's depressed mood was swept away, and she laughed. "You're absolutely right! As expected of an accomplished woman, you have a unique point of view."

Yun Nan laughed along with her and said, "I don't know much about love, but I do know a little about philosophy."

Fang Xi reached out and patted Yun Nan. "Don't get too full of yourself now. Hurry up and get a boyfriend. How are you going to write a convincing script if you haven't experienced love? We'll be poking holes in your plot when we discuss your scripts in the future!" she ribbed.

Fang Xi got out of the car, shook her head at her, and walked into her neighborhood.

'I don't care for a relationship,' Yun Nan thought as she started the car.

She had her career and money. She could imagine love well enough to write about it and pour it into her characters. She could write whatever she wanted, pure and simple, so why would she need to experience love with a guy? It would just be a waste of effort!
