The three finally met, and Bai Xiaoruo introduced them to each other.
"Shushu, this is Sister Annie, a very kind older sister to me; Sister Annie, this is Shushu, my best friend since childhood."
Hello, hello.
Ji Shushu and Annie exchanged a glance and said hello to each other.
The three of them sat down together. Annie had already ordered coffee, Ji Shushu had ordered a glass of juice, and Bai Xiaoruo ordered the same thing as Ji Shushu.
Since Hsien Ming-yu isn't here, it's okay to have a little juice.
If he were here, he wouldn't let her drink juice; he'd force her to drink stewed soup instead.
When Annie first saw Ji Shushu, she felt that she looked strangely familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere before, but she couldn't remember where.
Ji Shushu still had a slight impression of Annie, but so much time had passed that she wasn't sure if it was her.
"Shushu, may I call you that?"
"Yes, that's fine."
"Although Xiao Ru introduced us today, I feel like I've seen you somewhere before."
"Really? You think so too? I thought so too when I first saw you."
Seeing Ji Shushu and Annie hit it off so well, Bai Xiaoruo felt relieved. They were both lively and outgoing, so they would get along well.
Just then, Bai Xiaoruo's phone, which was in her bag, suddenly rang.
She hurriedly took out her phone and glanced at the caller ID; it was Xian Mingyu calling.
It seems he got up but couldn't find her.
I left in such a hurry that I forgot to tell him.
Bai Xiaoruo glanced apologetically at Annie and Ji Shushu, who were chatting happily, told them she had to go out to take a call, and then got up and walked out of the coffee shop.
She only pressed the call button after moving to a more open area.
Before Bai Xiaoruo could speak, Xuan Mingyu's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.
[Where are you? Why did it take you so long to answer the phone?]
He thought that if she didn't answer the phone, he would just track her location and go find her. She can't be as lively and carefree as before, going wherever she wants to play. Everything has to be done with the baby in mind, and there can't be the slightest mistake.
"It was a bit noisy just now... I'm with Shushu and Sister Annie, so you don't need to worry about me."
Where are you? I'm coming to find you now.
"Um...are you sure you want to come?"
Girls usually gossip and share their little secrets. Isn't it a bit strange for a grown man to come over like this?
[Why can't I come? Are there any men with you?]
"No, there are only the three of us."
Send me the address, I'll go there now.
"Huh? I..."
Before Bai Xiaoruo could finish speaking, Xian Mingyu had already hung up the phone.
I'm so annoyed. She said she didn't ask him to come, but he took it upon himself to do it.
Bai Xiaoruo sent the address of the coffee shop she was in to Xuan Mingyu via text message.
After sending the message, she suddenly remembered something and quickly walked back to the coffee shop.
The juice I ordered should be on the table by now. I need to drink a few sips quickly, otherwise I won't be able to touch it when Xian Mingyu comes over.
Annie and Ji Shushu were still chatting, and they seemed to have a lot to talk about, able to discuss anything with great enthusiasm.
Bai Xiaoruo returned to her seat, and as soon as she sat down, she picked up the orange juice in front of her and quickly took two sips. It was icy cold and tasted much better than the hot milk she had last night.
"Xiaobai, who called you just now?" Ji Shushu looked at her.
"It's nothing. He was worried about me coming out alone, and he said he'd come later too."
"Oh, people with husbands are different. What's there to worry about when you just sit in a coffee shop?" Ever since Ji Shushu found out about Bai Xiaoruo and Xuan Mingyu's relationship, she's been quite annoyed. It's rare for her to be able to invite Bai Xiaoruo out to play, but she's only been out for a short while, and her husband at home is already unhappy. Will Xuan Mingyu have to stick close to her every time they go out in the future?
"Sigh, my darling is the same way. When he's away on business, he doesn't care about me, but when we're home, he's always interfering with everything I do. It's so annoying." Annie said as she opened her phone. The lock screen was a selfie of her and her darling. She missed him even after not seeing him for a while.
Ji Shushu and Bai Xiaoruo exchanged a glance, then gave a speechless twitch of their lips. The two of them were talking about completely different issues from what Annie was saying. Annie was clearly just blatantly showing off her love, not looking like she had any worries at all.
Annie picked up her coffee and took a small sip. "By the way, Shushu, since you're going to be my bridesmaid, I'm going to try on my altered wedding dress again later. Do you want to come along? We can pick out a bridesmaid dress that suits you while we're at it. Time is tight. Xiaoruo, could you also give me some suggestions?"
"Okay, are we going to a bridal shop? I've never been inside a place like that before."
"I've never been either." Bai Xiaoruo nodded; she was also very curious to see what Annie's wedding dress looked like.
When Bai Xiaoruo married Xian Mingyu, the wedding dress was custom-made according to her measurements and then delivered directly from overseas the day before the wedding. As for choosing the style of the wedding dress and other wedding preparations, Bai Xiaoruo was not able to participate personally and left everything to their arrangements.
Looking back now, I feel a little regretful; her wedding was really casual.
So much time has passed, and she's pregnant now, so it's probably impossible for them to have a wedding again.
Sigh, I guess I can only let things take their course. Actually, Xian Mingyu has been treating me quite well lately, and he's been very accommodating to me these past few days.
