My Evil Cinderella: Taming A Villainous Wife - Chapter 274

Shi Enxi wanted to ask her that question but she couldn’t bring herself to that when she saw the gentle smile and the warmth in Fan Xiao Yao’s eyes. She can never bring herself to ask her that question especially when she was someone important to her. The thought of being hated by her already tore her heart to pieces.

At the same time, she couldn’t bring herself to sacrifice her daughter. The cruelness inside her was long gone ever since she returned to Lu Mello. He was the reason she changed and he was also the reason why she was able to live another life where she could be happy without regretting anything, without killing anyone, and because of that, she was now put in a difficult situation. She was an evil person so she couldn’t help but feel that she deserved to be put in such a situation to test her but at the same time, she couldn’t help but think… what if Lu Mello was right? What if it was just a nightmare? If that was the case then she didn’t have to choose on who gets to live and who gets to die, right?

“Well, what favor do you want to ask me?” Fan Xiao Yao asked, waiting patiently for her to tell her.

“I haven’t decided on it yet so is it okay for you to wait until I’ve thought of something?”

It was the first time for her to see Shi Enxi so troubled about something. She knew that her friend was the type of person to keep her troubles to herself but sometimes, Fan Xiao Yao wished that Shi Enxi could tell her all her worries. She may not be able to help in some of it but having someone that can listen was enough to lessen the burden on her c.h.e.s.t.

“You know that you can always tell me anything, right?” She wanted to let her know that she was there for her just as when she was there for her.

Shi Enxi appreciated that Fan Xiao Yao was willing to help her but her problem was something no one could understand. It was a decision that she has to make on her own.

“Thanks.” She leaned back and straightened herself as she put on a smile. “By the way, how’s the new assistant manager doing?”

“You mean Zhang Yichen? He’s not that bad but I still prefer to have you.” Fan Xiao Yao replied, releasing her hand.

“I’m too busy right now so it can’t be helped.”

“I know. Aren’t you going to take maternity leave soon?”

“I’m planning to take it next month. By the way, How’s Yu’er doing?”

“He’s such a lovely boy. He adjusts fast and learns things quickly.”

Shi Enxi sighed, “I wish Xue’er can be as behaved as Yu’er. Controlling him is very hard.”

“Then don’t control him. The stricter you get, the more rebellious he’ll become. I think you should go easy on him, Xiao Xi.”

“If I go easy on him, he’ll become spoiled.”

“There are things where he should learn it himself. Our only job as parents is to guide our children. Also changing his environment should help him. Our kids will start school next week, right? He’ll be able to meet different kinds of kids, some quiet, some as naughty as him, some who are spoiled too much by their parents. Right now, Xiao Xue’s environment is small and limited. The more you will try to want to hold him, the more he will want to try to escape your hold.”

“In other words, you’re telling me that I’m doing a bad job at parenting, huh?” She crossed her arms and raised a brow.

“No, of course now. I think you’re doing a good job. Just like any parents, you just want what’s best for your son but I think you should not become too strict with him.” Fan Xiao Yao suggested.

Shi Enxi ended up smiling helplessly at her. Just as she thought, Fan Xiao Yao was really someone who knew how to do the parenting job properly. Even if she didn’t have a child of her own, her instinct as a mother was kicking in. She couldn’t help but envy her a little.

If she was as kind and sweet as her, would Little Snow behave and listen without making a problem?

“How about we bring out the kids today?” Fan Xiao Yao suddenly suggested. They didn’t have anything scheduled that day except for Shi Enxi’s check-up.

“And where should we bring them?”

“There are lots of places. The zoo, amus.e.m.e.nt park, museum. Xiao Yu will definitely want to visit the museum but knowing Xiao Xue, the place will be too boring for him.”

“I don’t think so,” retorted Shi Enxi. “You already know how much Xue’er looks up to Yu’er so wherever he goes, he will definitely follow him.”

Although it was been a while since the two kids met each other. Would things still be the same for them? Would Little Snow still listen to Little Jade?

Shi Enxi couldn’t help but feel a little worried. Even if it was only a small time that passed, so many things have changed.

“How about we pick up our sons and meet at the museum instead?” She suggested again. “In that way, won’t it be more exciting for them to meet?”

Shi Enxi was quiet for a while as she stared at Fan Xiao Yao. Her suggestion wasn’t bad, it would be nice to spend time with the boys that way. Going to the museum instead of a noisy and lively place would be easier for her as well.

“Since when did you became smart?” She asked her, raising a brow with an amused smile plastered on her lips.

Fan Xiao Yao pouted at her remark, “I was never stupid in the first place. You’re just underestimating me!”

“Since when did I have underestimated you?” She crossed her arms. “I don’t remember doing it but I do remember overestimating you.”

“… Y-You! How can you say that to your best friend!”

“I don’t remember having you as my best friend.” Without waiting for her reply, Shi Enxi picked her bag before she stood up from her seat. “Let’s go. We should pick up our sons.”
