Imperfect Desires

Chapter 781 Beware



781 Beware

"Right now, I want to squish you, Idiot!" said Zhao Huan. She looked helpless and soon started laughing. "Who can come up with a name like 'squishy'? And too for their own kid?"

"Anything is possible with me around," replied Wen Ai.

"It sure is," replied Zhao Huan.

Wen Ai let Zhao Huan eat the snacks that the maids brought and drink the tea in silence. But all this while, she had been looking at her face.

"Is there something on my face?" asked Zhao Huan. "Why do you keep staring?"

Wen Ai rubbed the side of her neck and inquired, "Sister Huan, how have you been?" Zhao Huan's brows furrowed up slightly in confusion. "I mean in Xin Manor. How have you been?"

Zhao Huan smiled at her and said, "I'm doing great there. Everyone treats me like a family."

Wen Ai laughed out, "You're such a lousy liar." She sighed, "But I'm actually happy they don't treat you like family. That family is crueler to their own." She took a pause and added, "Sister Huan, pay more attention to who around you is sincere and who isn't."

"Are you giving me a warning?" asked Zhao Huan.

"Yes!" replied Wen Ai with a serious. "I want you to take my warning seriously and beware of everyone around you. No one in that family is what they appear to be. For their own interests, they can do anything." She licked her lips and went on, "And you were chosen to marry Brother Ze to strengthen his position, but that already shaken because of my marriage to Ah-Xin. If I say it bluntly, you have lost value to Mother Xin. And trust me, that woman can throw away anything and anyone as long as it is worthless to her."

"I should be more scared of you," said Zhao Huan.

Wen Ai chuckled, "That's true. I'm the evilest of them all. But the thing is, I don't wear a smile to deceive people. If I'm gonna stab you, I'd do it in a way that you know I did it. I don't hide from such things."

"Say nice things," said Zhao Huan. "You're pregnant. What if your son got affected by your words?"

"That's even better," was Wen Ai's response. "He needs to get his mother's evilness. How else will he survive in this world?" She took a pause and went on, "But don't try to take my words as a joke. I'm very serious. Keep your distance from Suyin as well."

Zhao Huan frowned, "Xin Suyin? She is such a cute girl. Why do I need to keep my distance from her? She is the favorite of both Zemin and Zimen. Don't you know that they both love their sister?"

"That's because they don't know what their cute sister is capable of," said Wen Ai. "She is a real bully out there."

"She is young," argued Zhao Huan. "It's her age to make mistakes. It's alright."

"Are you very well informed about everyone in the Xin Family? And here I thought you had no interest."

"I'm well-informed because I did my research about them back when I was in middle school. I had to keep an eye on every person in that family to keep my Ah-Xin safe. He doesn't know it though. I'm sharing this secret with you, don't share it with anyone."

"You still do it?" Zhao Huan asked in shock.

Wen Ai waved her hand, "No way. My Ah-Xin is already out of that hell hole, why would I care about any of them now? They can do whatever they want, I don't give a damn!"

"Then why are you giving me so many instructions?"

"Because Ah-Xin is out of that place, you're still there. And you're too nice for that kind of people."

"Are you adding my husband in that category as well?"

Wen Ai's lips curved up, "No. You and Brother Ze actually compliment each other very well. You both are very good people. You both had grown up seeing the lavishness that the world has to offer. Unlike me and Ah-Xin, who has long been introduced to the darkness behind that."

"After listening to you, I didn't even know if I should take that as a compliment or an insult."

Wen Ai hurriedly said, "Sister Huan, please don't even for a second think that I'm insulting you or Brother Ze. I truly have a lot of respect for you both. It's not easy to keep your goodness in this world. So, I do admire you both and I do hope you both won't have to face the darkness ever in your lives."

"People say you're very unreasonable," Zhao Huan voiced out. "I also thought you're a very unreasonable person. But I never knew you had so much on your mind."

"It's true that I'm quite careless and carefree. But I am not as casual as I might seem."

While both of them were talking, they heard someone's voice from the door.

"Aiya, why is it so difficult to walk? I promise I'm never having another baby in my entire life!"

Hearing that voice, Wen Ai chuckled, "It seems like my best friend is struggling."

"You seem to be enjoying it though," Zhao Huan pointed out and Wen Ai didn't even bother denying it. How could she not enjoy it? First, she needed to laugh at her best friend's misery, later she'd comfort her.

"Yo! Xixi! Need some help?!" Wen Ai called out.

Su Xixi walked inside with her face drenched in sweat. She seemed to be having a real struggle right now as she took one step at a time and said, "Keep your help to yourself!"

As she slumped down on the couch, Wen Ai called out, "Go easy there! You're gonna hurt my Ying in there."

Su Xixi glared at her in response.
