Every dish was extremely delicious. It was the best home-cooked dinner Tang Jing had ever had.

A few of the more nutritious dishes were specially prepared for Ning Ran, as she had just been discharged from the hospital.

Tang Jing was green with envy. To her, Ning Ran had the perfect life every woman desired to have.

There was a popular saying, Not all that glitters is gold.

What Tang Jing saw were only the glitters which Ning Ran wore. However, she was not aware of those times when Ning Ran was left all alone in a foreign country. She had also brought up two young kids all on her own.

Although Ning Ran had given birth to two children of the Nan family, the family had not given her any official status nor even formally acknowledged her.

She was always on her toes, worried that the Nan family would snatch her kids away from her, leaving her with nothing.

Tang Jing did not know any of that.

What she saw was just the fine treatment the woman was currently enjoying, unbeknownst to the suffering which Ning Ran endured.

That was the way the world operated. It was always easier for people to envy the achievements of others, without taking into account the hard work and sacrifices they had to make along their paths to success.

Tang Jing was entirely immersed in the feeling of bliss throughout the meal.

She had caught a glimpse of the kind of life which she had been striving towards all along.

Being married to a handsome and wealthy man, having adorable kids, as well as a powerful family background.

She wanted to be respected, admired, and perhaps, even feared.

Standing at the top, overlooking everyone else.

However, it was still someone else’s life, and the woman had to snap out of her daydream once dinner was over.

It was time for Tang Jing to leave. She was just a visitor, after all.

“Thanks for your wonderful hospitality, Ding and Mr. Nan. It’s a great honor for me to be able to join your family for dinner tonight. I will always remember this wonderful night. Have a good rest, I shall make a move first.”

The woman indeed lived up to her name as being one of the most well-educated and beautiful actresses in the industry. She had a charming smile on her face and spoke eloquently.

However, there was an unnoticeable glint of disappointment in her eye. She had an inexplicable feeling, which could be akin to a feeling of loss.
