Do you want to be famous?
Do you want to be famous?
"Your best friend is that amazing?" Hana asked, looking earnestly at Fan Xiao Yao.
"Yes! Her name is Shi Enxi!" She replied with a proud grin on her lips. "She is also the wife of Lu Mello!"
"I only saw her once during your wedding. She's so pretty~ I'm so jealous. How can you both manage to get handsome and rich husbands? I want one too!" She whined, catching her chin on her palm. "Being single sucks."
Fan Xiao Yao giggled, "The right man will come at the right time. Also, you should meet, Xiao Xi's kids, they're so adorable!" She took out her phone and showed the photos of the boys to her new friend.
Hana stared at the photos for a second. A small glint of light flashed in her eyes before it disappeared as soon as it came. "They're so cute! Are they twins? They don't look alike."
"No, they're not. This is Xiao Xue, he is Xiao Xi's real son." She pointed at the chubby kid. "This is Xiao Yu, the child they adopted."
"What cute names." Hana chuckled while staring at the photos.
Fan Xiao Yao continued to chat about her best friend and the kids proudly as if she was their mother, bragging about how great they were.
"By the way, when do you plan to have a child with Huang Li?" Hana asked, changing the topic back to her.
Fan Xiao Yao recalled what the doctor said and also Shi Enxi's words. She shouldn't be impatient. Having a child would come at the right time. No matter how excited she was, she has to wait. "Anytime." She replied with a small laugh. "I mean, it will be better it's a surprise." These were the words Shi Enxi told her. "It will have a greater impact on me and my husband."
"That's true. Both of you seem to like surprises too."
"Well, kinda?"
Although she was still worried. Fan Xiao Yao placed a hand on her tummy. Huang Li never questioned her about her pregnancy even if they had been doing it raw a few times. Maybe he already has an idea about her condition? Maybe he wasn't in a rush just like her? Or maybe he was just waiting for her to surprise her with the news? Oh well, she still has a few weeks left before she could go back to the doctor and have another check-up.
"By the way, how can you live in that haunted house alone?" Fan Xiao Yao asked curiously, changing the topic.
"I don't believe in ghosts. Besides, humans who are alive are scarier than the ones that are dead. They're worse than monsters you know."
...
"Xiao Xi, meet Hana, she's my new neighbor." Fan Xiao Yao said with a grin as she introduced her new friend.
They were currently at a cafe and it was Shi Enxi who called her there. Fan Xiao Yao brought Hana along so that she could introduce her and grow their circle of friends.
Shi Enxi raised a brow as she looked at Hana from head to toe. Hana was tall and had a beautiful figure. If she wanted to be a model, she could easily be accepted as one. Even her way of walking was beautiful when she entered earlier with Fan Xiao Yao. She had an elegant aura around her. She smiled and greeted, "It's nice to meet you."
Hana grinned in delight, "You too! To be able to finally meet Xiao Yao's best friend... What an honor!"
She also has her ways with words. Good. Shi Enxi thought.
The two women took their seats which were opposite Shi Enxi's. After they ordered their drinks, it was Fan Xiao Yao who asked, "So, are we here to go shopping?"
"No." Shi Enxi answered at once. She went straight to the point when she asked Fan Xiao Yao with a serious look on her face, "What do you think about going back to work?"
She was taken aback by her sudden question. Even Hana was surprised that she whispered with a small squeal, "Is this a comeback?"
"Depends on what Xiao Yao will answer," replied Shi Enxi casually before she took a sip from her cup of coffee.
Hana turned to the woman beside her, waiting eagerly for her answer.
Fan Xiao Yao lowered her head and clasped her hands together as she softly replied, "But I am about to have a family with Huang Li... Also, I want to focus on being a wife too..." She was the kind of woman who wanted to go back to her normal life the moment she found a family. She was willing to give up her fame for Huang Li. She had already done so the moment she married him. She was already contented with the experience of being on top. She only wanted to prove her ability to others and her hard work was finally paid off by receiving an award.
On the other hand, Shi Enxi already expected that answer from her. Fan Xiao Yao was the total opposite of her in everything, including their mentality. She was selfish and Fan Xiao Yao was selfless. Shi Enxi was getting bored at home, Lu Mello was busy with work and even if she had to take care of the kids, Mo Jing was there to help her. Every day was usual for her. It was already a routine and she wanted to change things. She wanted to go back to work. Shi Enxi hasn't told her husband about it yet but she was sure that Lu Mello was going to allow her. He can't say no to her.
She actually planned on trying to convince her but... it seemed like Fan Xiao Yao brought a substitute: Kobayashi Hana. She leaned forward, resting her elbow on the table as her palm caught her chin. She turned Hana and smirked, "How about you? Do you want to be famous?"
