Zhao Huan was so shocked to hear all of this that she didn't have any words to say. She already knew Xin Family wasn't as simple as her own paternal family had been but who knew it'd be this dark. Hidden behind that lavish cover was only darkness and maliciousness.
"I know my reason doesn't justify what I did," said Wen Ai. "However, if I was given another chance, I'd still do the same. Because I don't think I did anything wrong. But I'm still gonna keep apologizing to you for taking your big day. I know it meant a lot to you and people are still talking about it. I also know you became the laughingstock for those gossipy ladies because of me, so I'm really sorry about that."
"You're really something," said Zhao Huan. "I don't care about who is saying what. I just couldn't understand why would you do it."
"I could have chosen to marry Ah-Xin on any other day but it wouldn't have had the same impact. Since I wanted to drag Ah-Xin out of that power struggle, I had to do something to show my stance perfectly."
Zhao Huan shook her head saying, "You're really a single-minded person. I shouldn't even be surprised that you'd only think about Xiao Zi and forget about the rest of the situation."
Wen Ai smiled at her, "I only see the people I care about."
"I know," responded Zhao Huan. "Forget it. It already happened anyway. I don't care about any of it."
Wen Ai continued to look at her before she opened her arms and Zhao Huan eyed her, "What? Can't you give me a hug? I don't have an elder sister! I really thought I'd find one in my sister-in-law. And here you are even refusing to give me a single hug."
Zhao Huan glared at her, "You really are a headache!" Even though she said it, she still hugged her from the side saying, "How are you?"
"Aren't you asking that too early?"
Zhao Huan could hear her sarcasm but didn't mind it, "If you don't want to tell me, it's alright."
"I'm fine," replied Wen Ai as she pulled away. "I've always been awesome. What can possibly go wrong with me?" She lowered her voice and added, "And since my plan succeeded to marry Ah-Xin, I'm feeling even better."
"Plan?" repeated Zhao Huan.
Wen Ai nodded her head, "You don't know, back in high school I just randomly asked him to marry me and he agreed. I never thought he would. But he agreed! Do you even know how shocked I was?!" Obviously, Zhao Huan didn't know but she could see it on Wen Ai's face now. "So, since he agreed I had to make sure he didn't change his mind. So, I kept repeating it. Reminding him that going against one's words is very wrong. Eventually, I trapped him."
Zhao Huan chuckled at her, "Have you ever thought that maybe he never intended on going back on his words?" Wen Ai looked at her in confusion. "Xiao Zi would never say something he didn't mean."
"I know that," she replied. "But you see I was in disbelief for a long time. After all, I never thought he'd want to marry a girl like me. He could do so much better." She hurriedly added, "I'm not saying that I'm not one of the best. I just mean to say that my Ah-Xin is too good for anyone."
Zhao Huan also nodded in agreement, "Indeed, our Xiao Zi is too good for anyone. Even for you." She placed her hand on Wen Ai's head and went on, "So, you better take care of him. I hope you are able to give him the love he missed out on for years." She took a pause to think before adding, "And stop annoying him so much."
Wen Ai shook her head, "That I can't do. Our relationship is based on mutually frustrating each other. I cannot give up on that!"
"Stop acting like a kid, you're about to have your own kid now," said Zhao Huan.
"Ow!"
"What's wrong?" asked Zhao Huan hurriedly.
Wen Ai held her hand and placed it on her baby bump. Zhao Huan felt a strange sensation and her lips parted but nothing came out. She looked up at Wen Ai who was looking at her expressions.
"He is already kicking," voiced out Zhao Huan in a choked-up voice. She didn't know why she felt like crying over this.
Wen Ai chuckled at her reaction and said, "He is my son. He is definitely gonna be like me."
"I hope he is not," retorted Zhao Huan.
"Why not?" questioned Wen Ai. "What's wrong with being like me?"
"What's right with being like you?" retorted Zhao Huan. "Nothing! If he turned out like you, our poor Xiao Zi would really lose his mind."
Wen Ai made a face at her, "I really don't think Ah-Xin would mind it." She took a pause and smiled, "But it's okay. I don't mind if he'd like my Ah-Xin either."
"Did you guys chose a name?" asked Zhao Huan.
Wen Ai nodded, "Yup! I'm naming him Xin Xiaoli."
"Xin Xiaoli..." repeated Zhao Huan softly. "How did you choose this name?"
Wen Ai shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly, "It randomly came to my mind."
Zhao Huan stared at her, "It's your son! How can you even name him just randomly?"
"Because it's me, I can," replied Wen Ai plainly.
"What if after growing up he didn't like his name?"
Wen Ai smiled evilly, "With me as his mother, I don't think he'd be in a position to complain."
"Aiyo, you're gonna be one evil mother," was Zhao Huan's thought.
"I don't think my son would mind having an evil mother."
"How do you know?"
"Just a feeling..." Wen Ai thought about it before adding, "Besides, at first I planned on naming him squishy. He should be glad that I still fought against me and chose Xiao Li as his name."
Zhao Huan facepalmed herself not knowing what to say to this.
