Chapter 208 - Still Innocent Like She Used To Be
"Why did you follow me?" Zhi Ruo asked when they left the restaurant"s building.
"Zhi Ruo or is it Senior Zhi Ruo or maybe Sister Zhi Ruo?" Fu Meixu asked with a smile.
Zhi Ruo rolled her eyes at her and said, "Cut your c.r.a.p and go straight to the point!"
"I saw your disappointed look inside. Your boyfriend refused to come and pick you?" Fu Meixu asked with a knowing smile.
"How do my affairs concern you?" Zhi Ruo asked with an annoyed tone.
Fu Meixu didn"t say anything on that. She has already confirmed what she was curious about.
She wanted to confirm from Zhi Ruo if she had a boyfriend and the latter"s reaction was enough to confirm her guesses. This was indeed helpful for her plans.
Changing the topic Fu Meixu asked, "I wanted to ask you what it feels like to have your position s.n.a.t.c.hed?"
Zhi Ruo gazed at her angrily and felt like separating her head from her body.
"Anyone that dares to s.n.a.t.c.h what belongs to me will surely bleed to pay for it." Zhi Ruo said with a twisted facial expression.
"Oh! I"m scared." Fu Meixu said and chuckled with a hand over her mouth.
Zhi Ruo glared at her for making fun of her.
"Do you think I"m joking?" She asked.
"Well, I hope you"re not because I will love to enjoy all your reactions when I s.n.a.t.c.h things that belong to you, one by one." Fu Meixu said words for words so she could hear her clearly.
"You dare?" Zhi Ruo asked with an angry gaze.
"Don"t be scared yet because I"m only starting to get back at you for what you did. This is the first time I"m s.n.a.t.c.hing something from you, so you should relax and wait for the rest." Fu Meixu said before walking back into the building leaving a furious Zhi Ruo behind.
A day before Jia Li"s graduation, her three friends came over to the City.
Fu Hua had already left for work and Jia Li was in the workshop trying something new with the idea she had in mind when a servant came and knocked on the door.
"Come in." Jia Li said without looking up.
Being granted permission, the servant entered the workshop and announced to Jia Li with a smile, "Madam, your friends are here to see you."
Jia Li glanced over in surprise and asked with a confused gaze, "Which friends?"
She had no idea of what the servant was talking about.
"Madam, 3 of your friends are here to see you and I think one of them is called DanDan." The servant deciphered with a smile. She has just remembered that one of Jia Li"s friends had introduced herself.
"What?! DanDan is here?" Jia Li said in surprise as she hurriedly stood to her feet and walked towards the door.
"Madam don"t run." The servant reminded as she chased after her.
There was a visible excitement on Jia Li"s face as she went down the stairs in a hurry. She placed her hand on the rail as she took the stairs, to be careful of slipping.
When Jia Li rushed into the living room, she saw the three familiar faces and rushed towards them.
DanDan, Chang Chang and Daiyu were already sitting on the couch when they heard sounds of hurried footsteps. They 3 glanced over and saw Jia Li approaching them.
They called out to Jia Li with excitement on their face and got up, ready to give her a big hug.
Jia Li hugged them as she said, "You girls came to see me thank you!"
"What are thanking us for?" DanDan asked as she released Jia Li from the hug.
"How did you 3 get here?" Jia Li asked curiously because she knew she was definitely not the one that gave the address to them and this was a private area, so outsiders were not allowed to come in.
"You dear husband arranged this." Daiyu replied.
"Fu Hua did this?" Jia Li asked as she was amazed by the situation. She couldn"t believe that Fu Hua would be so considerate as to invite her friends over to come and see her, she was excited.
"Yes. We were surprised as well. It looks like he is taking good care of you." Chang Chang chipped in, in a soft tone.
"I have missed you all so much and I"m happy you are here." Jia Li said cheerfully. She was very happy to see friends whom she hasn"t seen in a long time.
"We are happy to see you as well." DanDan said as she gave Jia Li another hug.
"Jia Li look at you, you have indeed put on some weight." Chang Chang said as she stared at Jia Li wide-eyed.
"Really, am I fat?" Jia Li asked as she checked herself out.
"You"re not fat but it"s very obvious that you put on a little weight." Daiyu said as she emphasized how small it was with her two fingers.
Jia Li had a little hope as she sighed in relief.
"Where is the baby, how come I can"t see any b.u.mp." Chang Chang asked with her gaze on Jia Li"s stomach.
"I"m just 3 months pregnant." Jia Li said as she chuckled softly. Then she sat on the couch and her friends followed her as well.
"Chang Chang, you don"t expect to see a baby b.u.mp so soon right?" Daiyu asked with a smiling gaze.
"I was really expecting to see a baby b.u.mp. I can"t wait for the baby to come out already." Chang Chang said with a little regret in her tone.
"Aiyah! You have to quit acting like a child or you will be bullied. Look at Jia Li, she has matured a lot." DanDan pointed out.
Jia Li used to be the cutest and most innocent in their group followed by Chang Chang. But now, her innocent traits were slowly disappearing and it didn"t fail to be noticed by DanDan.
"I"m not mature, I"m still innocent like I used to be." Jia Li said with a frown.
"Who said you are still innocent?" Daiyu asked with a smile.
"I don"t understand." Jia Li said with a confused gaze. He didn"t understand what her words meant.
"Can someone innocent be pregnant?" DanDan asked. Jia Li was still confused, so Daiyu had to explain.
"It"s obvious that you are no longer innocent because you have done those things between couples and look you are boldly showing us the result.." Daiyu said while pointing at her abdomen.
