My Evil Cinderella: Taming A Villainous Wife

Chapter 163 - Try and taste some other desserts out there

Apologizing was something rare for someone like a proud person like Shi Enxi that was why when she apologized to Fan Xiao Yao, it was real.

How can Fan Xiao Yao not give in when Shi Enxi was being honest with her feelings? She knew that it wasn't easy for her to do it but she was touched with the effort she gave no matter how small it was.

Lu Mello arrived, seeing the scene of two crying women, hugging each other. He didn't know what happened that was why he decided not to disturb them and spoil their moment. He passed by their room without being noticed and headed to his study. Even Mo Jing who passed by earlier told the other servants not to enter the room.

When the two women finally calmed down, they sat beside each other. The room became quiet but the silence around them was not filled with awkwardness. In fact, it was as if they just gave each other a moment to breathe.

Shi Enxi suddenly felt shy as well since it was the first time that she confessed her feelings to Fan Xiao Yao. She has never been so opened even towards Lu Mengjie. Right at that moment, she doesn't know what to say. 

The bottled feelings that were finally let out also lightened the burden in Fan Xiao Yao's c.h.e.s.t. Aside from that, hearing Shi Enxi's genuine apology for the first time ever... She couldn't help but be satisfied.

"I didn't know you can actually cry like this," teased Fan Xiao Yao as a small giggle escaped her lips, breaking the silence between them.

"Shut up..." One couldn't tell if the redness of Shi Enxi's face was because of how hard she cried earlier or because of the tease Fan Xiao Yao told her.

The smile remained on her lips tho, she held Shi Enxi's hand and looked at her, "I guess we're dating." Of course, that was just a joke as she tried to lighten up the mood between them. 

A chuckle was heard from Shi Enxi, "I'm married."

"Bummer."

Shi Enxi turned to look at her and smiled, "Xiao Yao-"

"That's not what you called me earlier," she interrupted with a pout on her lips.

Once again, Shi Enxi felt embarrassed. She wasn't used to it after all. "What time is it already? I think you should leave now."

"What? You're making me leave already?" Fan Xiao Yao pouted, "It's not even sunset yet. Besides, you still have so many things to tell me. Oh, and you should also call Huang Li, give him a good scolding, and tell him to come back. He only listens and obeys you after all."

"You're still bitter about it?" She leaned forward and grabbed Fan Xiao Yao's bag, taking out the phone. "Why don't you call him?"

"As I said, he will never listen to me."

Shi Enxi raised a brow, "I know what kind of person you are. Have you ever tried stopping him tho?"

She lowered her head and pursed her lips. She was now fiddling with her fingers as she thought about it.

Now that she thought of it, she didn't even try stopping him. She wanted to be an understanding girlfriend and not clingy.

"You know, Xiao Yao-"

"Yaoyao" Fan Xiao Yao interrupted again only to correct her.

Shi Enxi cleared her throat, "Y-Yaoyao."

"Yes?" This time, she raised her head to look at her.

Shi Enxi sighed, "What I'm trying to say is... It's okay to be selfish you know. If you want to stop him, then stop him. If you want to be clingy, then be clingy. Two people are supposed to work in a relationship, not one." She placed the phone on her l.a.p. "So call him and tell him to come home."

"What if he doesn't want to?" She was still hesitant about it since she has always thought that Huang Li will never choose her especially when the reason he is out right now is because of Shi Enxi.

"Then threaten him." Shi Enxi huffed. "He should be treating you properly. You are his girlfriend so he should be putting you first instead."

The side of her lips curled up into a small smile as she heard Shi Enxi's comforting words. She held the phone and looked at it for a few seconds before she moved her gaze back to her friend. "It's alright. He's your family and even if he loved you once, you are still his family. I don't think I should come in between-"

"That's bullshit." Shi Enxi spat, her brows knitted together, forming a frown. "I told you, you should be selfish sometimes. I know that you are a kind person but there are times where you need to put yourself first than others. You should put more value on yourself." She huffed and crossed her arms. "Huang Li's making you run after him. You shouldn't run after him, Yaoyao. It's the s.p.e.r.ms that swim towards the egg, not the other way around. Men are meant to run after you."

"..." Fan Xiao Yao was left speechless. She doesn't know what to tell after hearing what she said.

"Let me repeat, it's the s.p.e.r.ms that swim towards the egg so you better know your worth. If Huang Li is not making you feel important enough, then you should let him know about it."

"... How?"

"Break up with him."

"..."

"Let me be honest with you," she paused as she placed her hand on top of her.

Uh... Aren't you being so honest enough? Fan Xiao Yao thought.

She gave her hand a squeeze before she continued, "I know how much you love Huang Li. In fact, you showed it to me earlier but... you shouldn't be blinded on him. There are so many men out there, some are sc.u.ms, some are better but Yaoyao, you should open your mind. Try and taste some other desserts out there."

"..." Once again, Fan Xiao Yao was left speechless.
