Why don't you check it?
Why don't you check it?
Everything went according to the plan she prepared. Within those two days, from night club to riding a yacht to visiting a different kind of restaurants Shi Enxi handled everything. The two days they spent were long, tiring, and yet fun. Even Lu Weichun was able to get along with Shi Enxi during those days.
7 pm, last day of their hangout...
They were currently in a department store, shopping for more clothes, shoes, and other girly stuff until they entered the children's section.
Lu Xingyan was sitting at the sofa, drained, while her sister was looking around together with Shi Enxi and Fan Xiao Yao.
"You really should go and see your children, Xiao Xi." Fan Xiao Yao said while they were both looking at the tiny shocks.
Shi Enxi remained quiet like usual whenever they talked about such topics but this time, she couldn't just end the call since Fan Xiao Yao was there in person. It was a good thing that Lu Weichun was not standing with them since she would take her brother's side and diss Shi Enxi for being an irresponsible mother. But that was the truth, she was being one at the moment for leaving her kids.
That was actually not the original plan Shi Enxi had in mind. Back then, she still planned on seeing her husband Lu Mello after she couldn't kill Shi Anhao. She has already come in agreement with him that she needed time, a cool off. As a mother, she also wanted to spend a bit of time with their sons before taking a short break but something happened. Something that wasn't supposed to happen. She was even not supposed to attend their wedding but she couldn't stop herself from missing it especially when both of the couples were people she cared for.
"Did you have a fight with Mello?" She continued to ask.
Shi Enxi turned to her with a small smile on her lips. "Let's not talk about this right now." She looked away and changed the topic easily, "By the way, are you pregnant? Is that why we're here?"
Fan Xiao Yao decided not to persist in questioning her. They were not in the right place and time. "Well, I'm hoping that I am." She chuckled. "But I'm pretty sure that I will be after how many rounds we had."
Shi Enxi raised a brow and smirked in amusement. She was about to say something but paused upon realizing that it was not appropriate. The smirk on her lips disappeared and the amused look on her face disappeared. There was this unreadable expression in her eyes that disappeared when she hid it with another smile, "Why don't you check it?"
"I have to wait until next week." Fan Xiao Yao pouted. She badly wanted to check it but she needed to be patient.
Shi Enxi chuckled a bit. Unlike her, she was sure that Fan Xiao Yao would become a great mother. A mother who would give her full attention to her family. She ended up staring at the woman beside her as her mind flew off to somewhere. Her eyes settling to nothingness. She had eyes that told of many secrets but held them locked in a strongbox so beautiful that one wouldn't dare to open in fear of what they might find within.
"I really hope that we can have a daughter." She smiled, placing a hand on her tummy and giving it a stroke. She then noticed the blank look in Shi Enxi's eyes which made her worried, "Xiao Xi?"
She snapped out from her trance and looked at her, a small smile forming on her lips, "I'm sorry, did you say something?"
Weird. Fan Xiao Yao couldn't help but think that something was wrong with her friend. "Are you alright?"
"I'm just feeling unwell, sorry." She chuckled a bit.
"Why don't you take a rest with Xiao Xing instead?" Fan Xiao Yao suggested. She wanted to ask what was bothering her but stopped, not wanting to annoy her for asking many questions.
"Hm, I should." Without saying anything else, Shi Enxi went and sat beside Lu Xingyan. She sighed heavily and held her head. Even if she acted like she was fine, she wasn't. It was not a good idea to come back. Not when she was this unstable. Her mind was scattered in all places. She thought that she would be able to at least tolerate seeing Fan Xiao Yao but the more she spent time with her the more shattered her heart became.
"Are you alright?" Lu Xingyan asked worriedly.
Was she alright? No, she wasn't. She was in chaos. She couldn't bear to see the people she caused harm, the people she hurt. Being there was like torture to her. She was smiling and all but she was dying inside.
"I'm going back now." She stood up. "Tell Xiao Yao that I'll be leaving early." With that, she stood up and left the place. She didn't think that Lu Xingyan would end up following her after she told Fan Xiao Yao and her sister that they'll be going back ahead.
"Enxi-jiejie, wait." She jogged towards her and when she reached her, she began walking beside her.
"Xiao Xing, you don't have to come with me."
Lu Xingyan didn't listen. She had been observing her since day one and she never failed to notice the short moments where she would just end up staring into nowhere or how she sometimes looked at Fan Xiao Yao. She didn't fail to notice the guilt in her eyes and when she did, she could only think of one thing.
"Did you die?"
Lu Xingyan's sudden question made Shi Enxi stop in her tracks and turn to her with wide eyes.
So she was right. "You did, didn't you?"
