"No need!" Jiang Xuyue said. "I can do it myself. Besides, you referred me to these two jobs, and I haven't even thanked you yet. I should be the one to pay this amount."
"How could that be alright? I ate too, so how can I let you pay by yourself? Don't worry, once I finish the last bit tonight, we'll have money coming in. I'm not short on cash," Shen Qing said with the tone of someone who doesn't need others to cover for her.
"Alright then! I'll treat you some other time." Jiang Xuyue, thinking about the income that was about to arrive, couldn't help but smile. However, when she saw Xu Jinyan, the smile on her face involuntarily stiffened and then slowly faded away.
After all, he was someone she had liked in her younger years; how could she possibly remain completely unmoved? But what lay between them was not only the years they had missed out on.
They were never meant to walk the same path.
