Chapter 159 - Cool off
Shi Enxi was on her pajamas and her hair was tied up into a messy bun. She looked totally different from her usual neat self. It was like she transformed into a real normal mother... Not like a rich mother.
She really looked so gentle and kind whenever she was holding Lu Mingyu. She looked like a caring mom and the people who saw it, especially when they knew what her personality is like, will most likely be left dumbstruck.
Even with Mo Jing around, Shi Enxi preferred taking care of the baby herself and spend more time with him. Well... She really had to spend more time with him. It was hard being a mother, she has to constantly check on her son, his every cries summoning her presence at once. It was tiring, so tiring.
What was actually more surprising was the fact that Shi Enxi was patient about it the whole time. Not once did she thought of complaining about how hard it was to be a mother. She has been expecting it already and she was able to cope up with the hardship thanks to Mo Jing's assistance and help.
She really seemed to have turned into a completely different person at that moment...
"Yu'er is such a cute boy. I really thought that he was going to be a fat baby once I give birth to him since I've been hoarding a lot of food while I was carrying him." She said as she gave Fan Xiao Yao her usual smile. "But instead, I ended having a small child."
Fan Xiao Yao gulped nervously, she was suddenly regretting that she went and visited her. She tried her best to remain as calm as possible as she moved her eyes towards the plate of cookies that were on the table. She smoothly avoided Shi Enxi's gaze by looking there. She reached out and took a piece of cookie, "Did you ask the doctor about it?"
"Yes, I did." She chuckled lightly, "and the doctor said that is was only normal. There are mothers like me who eats a lot give birth to small babies."
"But Xiao Yu seemed to grow now." Fan Xiao Yao turned her gaze back to her after calming her inner self. She smiled, "And he looked so healthy." She began eating the cookie she took after.
"Why of course, I don't want him to be weak when he grows. I'm his mother, I should be feeding him well."
She chucked as she joked, "You sounded like you're fattening him up just to eat him after. What are you, a witch?"
"A witch?" It made her laugh, "Maybe I am but being a good or bad witch all depends on me and since I'm a witch, everyone should watch their backs." She said meaningfully. "They shouldn't underestimate a witch like me, you know."
Fan Xiao Yao didn't think much of it since she knew how scary Shi Enxi was when she is angry. Not just a witch but she can turn into a demoness too. Everyone should really watch their backs whenever they were dealing with someone like her.
"So, how are you and Huang Li-Gege doing?" Shi Enxi asked as she took the pitcher and poured water in their glasses.
"Well..." Fan Xiao Yao trailed off, averting her gaze from her by watching her pour water on their glasses. It was also a way to think of an excuse to tell her. "We decided to have a cool off."
Shi Enxi knitted her brows together as she frowned at what she said. She placed the pitcher back on the table, "Cool off?" She repeated. "What do you mean by 'cool off'? Did you both fight?"
Fan Xiao Yao lightly waved her hand in disagreement, "No, no. We didn't fight." Fan Xiao Yao wasn't lying but she didn't know how to tell her what really happened since the reason behind it was because of her. At that moment, she decided to say as an excuse, "He's busy and so am I. With our plates full, we don't have that much time with each other... I don't want to be a clingy girlfriend too that's why we came into agreement that we should focus on our works first."
Shi Enxi was staring at Fan Xiao Yao for a while as if trying to see through her words but as she gave it a thought, they were right. She didn't know that Huang Li quitted his work yet so she thought that with him being so busy in the hospital and with Fan Xiao Yao's Filming Award Ceremony coming up, it was going to be busy for her as well.
She once promised her that if she gained an award, she was going to help her in publicizing her relationship with Huang Li.
"Well, I guess that's alright..." She paused and looked at the glass on the table before she wrapped her fingers around it and brought it to her lips, taking a sip of water from it.
Fan Xiao Yao inwardly sighed in relief. She was glad Shi Enxi believed her. She was hiding too many things from her it made her feel like she was carrying the heavens on her shoulders. That's how guilty she felt.
"... if you put it that way," Shi Enxi continued.
She suddenly felt a chill run down her spine as the room's temperature dropped. Fan Xiao Yao's heart began raising as cold sweat rolled down her temple. Why was she suddenly feeling all nervous?
The glass was placed back on the table and Shi Enxi turned her gaze to the woman sitting across her.
Fear instantly took over Fan Xiao Yao's body when she saw the way her friend smiled. It was bone-chilling to the point that her legs were unconsciously trembling.
Whenever Shi Enxi smiled, her eyes would always turn into a crescent shape. Her smile was always beautiful but this time, it was also terrifying.
"Now let's get down to business, shall we?"
