“…”

That sounded somewhat extreme.

Xiang Wan furrowed her eyebrows. “You’re too negative.”

Hur! The corners of Xie Wanwan’s mouth quirked upwards. “Xiang Wan, you’re a good person.”

Xiang Wan felt like she was breaking out in cold sweat when she heard that.

“Don’t, please don’t say that. Strictly speaking, I’m not considered good. I’m selfish, just like everyone else, I would place my interests first. In fact, this is not wrong. We can’t expect ourselves and others to be a perfect model of morals and ethics like everyone has to live like a saint…”

Xie Wanwan didn’t deny that.

She raised her eyebrows and continued to smoke indolently.

Xiang Wan examined her expression and spoke slower. “Life is short. We can’t change what has happened. Every day when we wake up… Oh, it’s a new day. On a new day, you’re the gorgeous celebrity and have numerous fans and have wealth that ordinary people couldn’t achieve in their lifetime. You can enjoy a luxurious lifestyle that ordinary people didn’t even know or heard about before…”

Then she smiled.

“Do you feel better when you think this way?”

Xie Wanwan shrugged her shoulders. “I’m used to it, so I don’t feel much different.”

“Oh, that hurts!” Xiang Wan smiled, showing a warm smile. “Think about this, then; you’re rich and famous now because the heavens wanted to compensate you for all the suffering you have gone through? It’s fair, right?”

“Is it fair?” Xie Wanwan looked up at the sky while smoking. “It’s unfair, unfair.”

She had stressed the second ‘unfair,’ one heavier than the other.

Xiang Wan concluded, “So, these aren’t the issues that made you irascible?”

Xie Wanwan turned around, puffing out a cloud of smoke. “You guessed it!”

“You sat on a rooftop and nearly jumped off from a building,” Xiang Wan spoke with a smile. “You’ve gone through the ordeal of being tied to a tree with a bomb attached. You’ve survived numerous misery and suffering. I know you will live well… In my impression, you’ve always been strong. It’s not that you don’t mind all these suffering, at least, you can show others that you didn’t mind at all, but what kind of issue made you suddenly mind all of these?”

“Hur…”

Xie Wanwan snorted.

Then she remained silent.

However, it seemed that she didn’t reject what Xiang Wan had said.

That meant Xiang Wan could continue to communicate with her.

Xiang Wan observed her expression and tried to sound her out. “Is it because of Tang Yuanchu?”

“No!” Xie Wanwan denied flatly. A while later, she spoke in a cold tone, “Not entirely.”

Not entirely meant that Tang Yuanchu differed in her heart.

Xiang Wan felt that this was the time to probe more.

“Who else could let you be so bothered that you must go out? Is it Ye Lun?”

“No,” replied Xie Wanwan swiftly. She even revealed a sarcastic smile. “He’s not important at all.”

It was strange that she was unwilling to answer Bai Muchuan and Tang Yuanchu’s questions honestly, but before Xiang Wan, she could say that easily.

“Women understood women the most,” remarked Xie Wanwan, “you must have known that long ago, right? That’s why I feel like we should have been friends.”

“We can’t be friends.” Xiang Wan was still firm concerning this issue. However, she had a gentle expression when she said that, which made her seem really like a friend, or maybe more. “I’m not a magnanimous person. If we become friends, we’re going to be awkward around each other, and I won’t feel at ease. I’ll be honest, I’m not confident that my boyfriend is best pals with a ravishing beauty!”Read latest chapters at NovelFull

She was so sincere and honest!

Xie Wanwan’s hazy gaze seemed to have brightened a little.

“I really do like you as a person.”

“You’ve told me several times.”

“If I’m a guy, I’m going to be like those men, trying all ways and means to get you…”

“Those men?” Xiang Wan cracked up. “Such men have not appeared in my life. I’m different from you; I’m not a man magnet. I’m just an ordinary woman.”

Xie Wanwan didn’t know what to say. “…”

Silence ensued once again.

Between women, especially beautiful women, it was easy for them to develop feelings of antagonism and opposition between each other. It differed from men, where a hero would value another hero. It was hard for two beautiful women to become real friends or for one to become true friends with a beautiful woman. That was why there was a term called ‘frenemy.’

Xie Wanwan did not have friends.

Countless people hated her.

Xiang Wan didn’t have many friends either.

Countless people hated her.

If not for Bai Muchuan…

In fact, they could actually become friends due to their character and personality.

At least, that was what Xie Wanwan thought.

At this moment, when she looked at Xiang Wan’s smiling face, she suddenly believed a quote online, which she used to spurn around—that some people possessed a natural ability to let others feel at ease. When one came in contact with such people, it was easy for them to relax. They could be trusted and could be talked to.

Xiang Wan belonged to these types of people.

Xie Wanwan felt a burning sensation in her throat… There were some words that she wanted to say, but she still lacked some courage to do so.

“Tell me about it.” Xiang Wan’s voice felt like it could hypnotize people. “What exactly is troubling you?”

The cigarette that clamped between Xie Wanwan’s fingers were still burning.

Burning…

For a moment, it felt like it might burn till the end of time…

Suddenly, a spark from the cigarette scalded her hand.

She quivered at the pain, threw the cigarette, and patted the ashes away from her clothes.

While she was frantically doing that, Xiang Wan saw that her pair of eyes were already reddened.

“I… can’t.” Xie Wanwan squatted down as she wanted to pick up the cigarette, but before she did so, her knees bent. She sat down by the wall and curled herself up like a helpless child.

“Did someone threaten you?” Xiang Wan didn’t move from her spot.

To her, it was a good thing that Xie Wanwan was overwhelmed by her own feelings.

Only then did the latter would have the urge to confide in Xiang Wan.

“I can’t…”

“Tell me,” said Xiang Wan firmly, “you need help.”

“I can’t…” Xie Wanwan’s lips were trembling.

Her voice was hoarse like she was sobbing.

“I can help.” Xiang Wan kept giving her psychological hints. “Even if I can’t help, Bai Muchuan will be able to do so… Don’t you have confidence in him?”

“No… I can’t let them know about this. I can’t let anyone know about this…” Xie Wanwan shook her head repeatedly.

Suddenly, she hugged her legs with her head on her knees while her shoulders moved as she cried.

She’s crying?

Xiang Wan had never seen her cry.

This woman did not even cry even when she faced death. Why?

Xiang Wan got up and walked over to Xie Wanwan, where she held her shoulders.

“Don’t be afraid! You’re not alone. You still have us, we will help you…”

Xie Wanwan had an outburst of emotion, her shoulders quivered as she cried. In fact, the entirety of her body was shivering in grief. She hugged Xiang Wan tightly, like a drowning person, clinging onto a piece of driftwood.

“I… have a kid. A kid…”
