After rejecting my celebrity husband novel Chapter 415

Chapter 415: Chapter 418: A World of Two People [1]

Jiao Yang passed her a tissue, "Did I say something wrong again?"

"This..." Luo Xiaoqian finally managed to stop laughing, "Is this what your Chinese teacher taught you?"

"No, I just overheard two people talking about it when I was parking just now."

"No wonder!" Luo Xiaoqian wiped the juice stain from the corner of her mouth, "The correct saying should be ’a friend’s wife must not be encroached upon,’ where the wife in ’friend’s wife’ is the wife as in spouse. And the latter part is not ’you’re welcome,’ but the ’must not’ of ’cannot,’ and ’encroach’ refers to bullying or deceiving. This saying has roughly two meanings. The first is that, since you are good friends, you should be sincere towards your friend’s spouse, just like you would treat a friend. The second meaning is that you should not harbor inappropriate thoughts towards your good friend’s loved one. Here, ’loved one’ doesn’t necessarily mean spouse; it could also refer to a girlfriend, or a girl that your friend likes."

"So that’s how it is." Jiao Yang nodded, "But why, why can’t you have inappropriate thoughts about a friend’s loved one? Doesn’t everyone have the right to love another person?"

Luo Xiaoqian laughed, "That’s probably where Eastern and Western cultures differ. In China, it’s generally considered immoral to covet a friend’s loved one."

Jiao Yang sat up straight, "Personally, I think what’s most important is who this ’wife’ truly loves, right?"

Luo Xiaoqian thought for a while, "What you said isn’t without reason."

"So that means..." Jiao Yang’s eyes shone with a hint of brightness, "you agree with my view?"

"I haven’t given it serious thought," Luo Xiaoqian put down the tissue she was holding, "But if my friend and I both fell in love with the same man, I think I might give up first."

"But what if that man likes you?" Jiao Yang asked.
