Chapter 279 - 279: New Friends (Part 2) (1/2)
With a lighthearted atmosphere, the three delved into knowing each other more; gone was the previous feeling of agitation of making sure that the first impression wouldn't end up in turmoils.
Han Taiyi was doing most of the talking while Chu Lizheng would occasionally add something to her stories and nod when she would look at him for affirmation.
Lillie listened earnestly as Han Taiyi tells her of the things that happened in the academy since she left and gratify her questions with almost truthful answers.
”So, for how long were you married? How did you two met? Do you have children already? Oh my god, are you pregnant—not to be rude or not that I'm saying you're—”
”One question at a time.” Chu Lizheng was quick to cover his friend's mouth before she could complete what she was about to say. He came closer to her ear and muttered, ”You were being rude.”
”I'm sorry!”
Chu Lizheng resisted the urge to facepalm.
Lillie laughed, ”No, no, it's alright. To answer your questions; we've been married for almost a year now—”
”Oooh! Newlyweds?!”
”—and he's actually my childhood friend—”
”Aww, so romantic!”
”Taiyi, don't cut her off.”
”—we have no children and I'm not pregnant yet, sadly.” Lillie finished, not bothered by Han Taiyi's interposes between her sentence.
Her last answer seemed to have saddened Han Taiyi. Well, Lillie had casted a crestfallen expression that's why she did, too.
The expression was, by far, the most genuine one she ever made since she wore this fake face.
”Don't worry, you and your husband are still young and new to marriage life. People will understand that you two are still on the honeymoon phase. They wouldn't expect you to have a kid early...maybe.” Han Taiyi beamed, trying her best to send her positivity to their new friend.
”Don't add maybe.” Chu Lizheng sighed.
”Anyhow, I'm sure you'll be blessed with one soon enough! It's guaranteed—just do more of that bedroom—”
”Alright, Taiyi.” Chu Lizheng covered her mouth once again. ”I'm sure she already knows that part.”
Lillie observed their relationship with amus.e.m.e.nt. The smile that she kept on her face the whole time didn't feel heavy anymore as she finds herself genuinely enjoying their company.
She likes these two.
”Speaking of which, where is your husband?” Han Taiyi noted just now that the other talk of the town was missing.
”He's at our cabin, he'll join us shortly.”
