"Ladies." Fu Meng said, his eyes swept towards Li Xiaoyue as a greeting before landing on Hu Mimi.
He reached out a hand towards Hu Mimi which she willingly took and smiled sweetly at him.
"And here I thought you couldn't find us." Li Xiaoyue smiled at him.
Fu Meng was the son of a renowned film-maker director and currently, he's trying to check on her best friend, Hu Mimi.
Hu Mimi met Fu Meng in Hawaii. The former was filming a movie while the latter came with his father, the director of Hu Mimi's movie. However, Hu Mimi was dating someone else at that time and didn't even notice him.
"How could I? Two peerless beauties. Who wouldn't find you?"
Li Xiaoyue rolled her eyes, "Please. Spare me the shit talk."
Hu Mimi giggled at Li Xiaoyue's words and at the surprised look on Fu Meng's face. He clearly didn't expect her to cuss.
In Fu Meng's defense. The two of them literally did look incredibly beautiful. People were looking at their way, admiring and couldn't stop staring. Curiosity was killing them, wanting to know who these two beautiful women were but as if there was something around them that made people not to carelessly approach.
Li Xiaoyue wore a black strapless dress with a high slit, accentuating her slender figure and long black hair while Hu Mimi was wearing a short red dress, showing off her long white legs and had her hair tied into a high pony
tail.
The two of them definitely looked like two beauties in a priceless painting.
However, Fu Meng looked at them differently. Hu Mimi was his date at that moment and knew that Li Xiaoyue was only there by the coercion of her best friend.
"It must have been a long day for you two. Why don't we get something for you to eat." Fu Meng said.
Li Xiaoyue wanted to say something sarcastic but seeing how Hu Mimi was nodding her head off like a chicken, she advised against it and decided to say something else, "You go on ahead. I'll get some fresh air first."
"Are you sure? We haven't eaten anything decent today." Hu MiMi worriedly asked.
In the 10 hours duration of their travel to the Mainland, the two of them only ate the things that the airplane offered to them and from the drive-thru, they passed by.
It was an unhealthy meal but they couldn't be a picker when they were hastened to travel from so far away just to meet Hu Mimi's new beau.
Shaking her head, Li Xiaoyue said, "I'll have some later. I bet the food won't suddenly run and fly elsewhere."
Li Xiaoyue exchanged a few more words with the two of them before leaving them to their own devices to go to the balcony.
The air from the sea was fresh and strangely relaxing after hours of traveling.
However, the odd comfortable noise coming from the sea and the blaring noise from the inside of the yacht was giving her some nostalgic feeling.
Two years have passed. Her life changed so much in that short span of time, many people may not recognize her now that the woman they ridiculed for being fat was gone.
If she hadn't done what she did on her wedding day, Li Xiaoyue's life now would be in vain. Crying in the corner of a room alone while Zhang Haoran meets his beloved Li Ziyi and their child. She would be forced to accept everything and be ridiculed once more for being stupid for falling for their lies and might think of doing something she might regret for the rest of her life.
Li Xiaoyue closed her eyes, feeling the caress of the cold wind on her skin under the moonlight. The gentle breeze was soothing her every nerve in her body better than the yoga exercise she does every week.
It felt so good to be free, with no chains pulling her down.
