Chapter 139 - Wild woman
For the following days before Lu Mello caught Chen Gao, while Shi Enxi was in Japan, she would usually spend her time together with Lu Mengjie and Xia Liqin.
She was only able to know that her husband finally caught Chen Gao when he gave her a call while she was in the middle of spending her time with Lu Mengjie in the cafe that they would usually meet.
"Finally." Xia Liqin said with a bored look after Shi Enxi told him the news. "It's about time you know."
"How about I tell my husband not to give you the money for this week?" Shi Enxi smiled before she took a sip of peppermint tea from the teacup.
Xia Liqin frowned, "You should stay true with your words."
"I never agreed in the first place. It was Mello who did. And besides, what are you going to do if we don't? Blackmail us?" She smirked mischievously. "Blackmail us with what?"
"I-I..." Xia Liqin couldn't think of any to use against her, "I'm going to report you to the police!"
"Sure, sure. Go ahead. I'm looking forward to it."
He pursed his lips. Of course, he wouldn't be able to do it too because of his mother, Li Bingbing. He didn't want to receive her wrath.
Since they were kids, it was always like that. Shi Enxi would always use Lu Mengjie or their mother against him. It was not fair.
"At least pay half..." He faintly whispered, the imaginary dogears of his were down.
"I'll have to leave tomorrow." Shi Enxi said as she ignored him instead. She was only willing to spend money on the things she loved and that's totally not Xia Liqin.
"You're already leaving?" Lu Mengjie was saddened by the news.
Xia Liqin was still pouting as he rested his chin on his palm as he looked at his sister, "Don't worry Jiejie, I'll be staying here with you."
He was not going to allow the Bai family to play dirty with his sister after all. She was alone in that family and she needed someone she could rely on.
"You don't have to..." She muttered. She appreciated how concern he was for her but there must be other things that he should be working on, right? "Don't you have work?"
Shi Enxi scoffed, "There's no changing his mind, Mengmeng. By this time, I'm pretty sure you now know how bad his sister complex is towards you."
"It's not that bad..." Xia Liqin pouted, not totally denying it which made his sister chuckle.
"I wonder about that." Lu Mengjie patted his head. It was not hard for her to get close to her brother again despite losing her memories. In fact, she never felt uncomfortable being with them. She was able to easily open up to them. Maybe it was because they were really that close in the first place.
"Besides, she's old enough to take care of herself." Xia Liqin pouted, crossing his arms. "I'm not going to babysit her anymore."
"I don't need you to 'babysit' me in the first place." She huffed. "It's Mello who wanted it."
"And it's him who should pay for my babysitting work!"
"He's my husband. He will do what I say. He will only listen to me."
Once again, Xia Liqin pouted angrily at her.
Lu Mengjie chuckled at how the two were bickering with each other. She turned to her and reached out to hold Shi Enxi's hand, "I hope you can visit us from time to time."
"If I did, I'm afraid that... others might find out about it. I can't guarantee that your..." She paused before she looked at Xia Liqin, "Ex-fiance won't be able to find you..." She turned her gaze back to her niece, "Qinqing being here with you is fine, at least he can make sure that you are well hidden from the people who are searching for you, including your father."
Lu Mengjie's lips we're stretched into a straight line. This was something she felt guilty about... Knowing that she has a fiance she loved and yet she ended up marrying another man because of her memory loss.
Ever since Shi Enxi told her about it, she sometimes wondered what kind of person her fiance was but she didn't bother asking them. She was now a married woman. It was wrong to yearn for another man when she already has a husband... Even if that husband didn't pay attention to her.
Shi Enxi was staring at Lu Mengjie since she became quiet after what she said. She received a scolding gaze from Xia Liqin because of that.
"What?" She raised a brow at him.
"Oh well, it's not like I can do something about it, right?" Lu Mengjie didn't want to give them any trouble after all.
"No, you will able to do something about it once you gain your memories back." Shi Enxi corrected. "I'm pretty sure you'll be able to be who you really are once they're back." She smiled, holding back her arms. "The Lu Mengjie we all know is the type of person who won't let anyone stop her from doing what she wants."
"Except for Sisi." Xia Liqin added, "He's the only person who can handle you well... and also me of course."
"Yes, her fiance." Shi Enxi chuckled. "That's why you decided to play hide and seek with him, the world as your playground."
"Why do I sound like a... wild woman?"
Shi Enxi grinned as she replied, "Because you're one!"
Xia Liqin nodded in agreement, "A lovely wild woman."
