Female Novel
Married At First Sight By Gu Lingfei Chapter 168
Chapter 168 Jasmine pursed her lips. “He‘s a little ugly. I‘m scared that my baby will turn out hideous ifI marry an ugly man. Your situation is the best. Since you and your husbands have the looks, your babywill turn out beautiful.”
She would rather marry a motivated wage earner like her best friend. So what if Mr. York was not bornwith a silver spoon? He worked hard to get to a senior white–collar position at York Corporation.
Anyone who could get into the York Corporation‘s headquarters was an elite among elites.
Serenity replied after a brief pause , “You should spend less time on your chick lits. I think you read toomuch and now you imagine yourself meeting a young, handsome, and rich CEO like the femalecharacters in your books. The young CEO only has eyes and the hots for the leading lady. Jasmine ,that‘s all fiction. Where are you going to find that many young CEOs in real life?
“The CEO of York Corporation is young, but he took over the family business that has been around foryears. How can other men compete with a man who was born with a silver spoon? I‘m sure you knowmeeting a CEO like Mr. York is impossible, let alone chasing him.”
Jasmine opened her mouth to justify her thoughts, but no words escaped her lips.
She had nothing to say.
Anybody would love to be the leading lady of a romance novel
Nevertheless , Jasmine was not trying to bag some big – shot CEO. She did not have a thing for thatkind of man.
“Seren, please go with me one more time.”
“Not happening.”
“Are we still friends, Seren?”
Serenity did not bother to pick her head up. “We are.”
“Shouldn‘t you be helping out a friend in need?”
“I‘ll help you when you‘re in need, but you‘re going on a blind date. Don‘t expect me to save you froman innocent date.”
Jasmine pleaded, “Seren, just this once. I promise. It‘s just this once. Think about the food!”
“Our lunch from the Wiltspoon Hotel today was delicious.”novelbin
Seeing that her best friend would not stop with the pleas, Serenity had to pull out the big guns. “I‘mgoing on a date with my man to bond.”
Jasinine was at a loss for words.
It did not go unnoticed that Jasmine gave her best friend
a plaintive look the whole afternoon.
Serenity toughened herself up against her best friend‘s resentful eyes as she refused to accompanyJasmine to another event.
Since Zachary would not be home early due to a business engagement, Serenity stayed at the shopand told Jasmine to get off work early. Unable to persuade her best friend, Jasmine took her purse andwent home.
As Serenity was alone at the shop with nothing much to do, she called her sister and found out that herbrother–in –law still had not come home. Serenity sighed to herself. It was likely her sister‘s marriage
would not last long. It was not that she wanted Liberty and Hank back together, but Serenity felt bad forher nephew. Children were the ones who would be most affected by their parents‘ separation.
Sonny was only two years old and had always been in Liberty‘s care. Her sister would have a higherchance of winning custody if she had a source of income.
