Chapter 164 - You're not angry?
Fan Xiao Yao cleared her throat before she began speaking, "I don't think I can do that... I love him..."
Breaking up with Huang Li was the last thing she wanted to do. Just like what she said to him back then, she didn't want any other men.
"I know you do but if you're only getting hurt because of him, then it's better to end the relationship. No matter how much you love him, being in a toxic relationship will only do you no good." Shi Enxi tried explaining it to her. Of course, she wanted them to be happy but if being with each other will only bring them pain and make them question their worth, then it is better to break up. Maybe somewhere, in the long run, they might be able to grow and understand.
"I'm not in a toxic relationship with him." Fan Xiao Yao pouted, crossing her arms as she disagreed with her.
"But he's making you question your worth. That's toxic enough." She leaned back and rested against the sofa, she raised her head to look at the ceiling. "If you tried breaking up with him and he does not rush back to your side to ask why then that only means that he doesn't value you that much."
Fan Xiao Yao suddenly felt uneasy and frightened because of what she said since it has truth in it. It even made it harder for her to call this time.
Will he really come back to her if she tried to threaten him with break up? Will this show how much he values their relationship?
"What if... he's in the middle of doing something important?" She asked as an excuse. "Or... What if he's on the ship or plane right now?"
"Then you can just give him a one or two days time to swim or fly back to you." Shi Enxi casually answered as if it was an easy question.
"Then... Tell me, Xiao Xi... Are you going to do the same if it's Mello?" Fan Xiao Yao suddenly asked while looking at her the phone she was holding for a short while before she turned to look straight at her friend. "What if Mello will put other things first before you? What if he cheats? What if he got busy with work? He won't always have time for you..."
Shi Enxi smirked, narrowing her eyes as she titled her head to the side to look back at her. "If he cheated, then I'm going to burn that bitch and castrate my husband. If he's busy with work then I just have to go to his workplace and steal him away for even a few hours."
"..."
"If I was in your position, I'll definitely slap some sense on Huang Li."
"That's not the right thing to do, Xiao Xi... I know that you're trying to help me but I don't think you understand. I know for sure that Huang Li loves me so why should I make things complicated to him? He has other problems to deal with and I don't want to be one. You're right, I should be selfish sometimes but there are also times where I should be understanding and selfless for our relationship. You said it yourself, he's like a family to you. You are also like a family to me. I'm sorry for blaming you earlier. I guess... I just want to vent out these bottled feelings to someone."
"Also, if one of my family gets in trouble, I will probably do the same as Huang Li and try to help if I know that I can help." Her soft lips stretched into a smile but didn't quite reach her dark eyes. "Sometimes, holding on to his promise is enough. I will patiently wait for him. I may be doubting his love but... I wanted to trust him too. I don't want to be blinded by my selfish thoughts... Being selfish can also ruin a relationship you know and I don't want that. That's why... I'm going to put more trust in him."
Once again, her eyes were lit with sadness, and the forced expression of the contrary on her mouth would have looked comical to Shi Enxi if it didn't make her heart feel heavy. For a few moments, she stared at Fan Xiao Yao, thinking about what she said.
She was right. If Huang Li, or even anyone she cared for got into trouble, she would also do the same. She finally heaved out a sigh of defeat.
"But I have everything in my hands now. He doesn't have to help me so just call him and make him spend more time with you. He doesn't have to do anything now that I have everything in my control."
It took a while for her to prepare her cards but now that she has everything in her hands, soon, Shi Anhao will be taken down.
"Alright, I'll call him." She finally lifted her phone and began dialing Huang Li's number but her call didn't go through since his phone was turned off in the other line.
She sighed and looked at her, shaking her head a bit, "His phone is off."
"Just give him a message then. He'll definitely see it if he turns it back on later." Shi Enxi reached out an patted her shoulder to comfort her a bit.
"Okay. By the way, Xiao Xi, aren't you mad at Mello for hiding what really happened to you?" Fan Xiao Yao asked, changing the topic as she kept her phone back to her bag.
"No, not really. I'm actually surprised that he was willing to go that far." She chuckled lightly. "It's actually sweet."
"You're not angry? At all?"
"Am I really that scary when I'm mad?" She raised a brow in amus.e.m.e.nt.
"Hell yeah. Very scary." What made her scary after all was actually because of the things she can do out of anger.
"I'm not going to tell you everything but all I can say right now is that, everything went according to the plan." She gave her a smile that seemed so genuinely sweet but for some reason, it sent chills down Fan Xiao Yao's back.
