Chapter 385: Chapter 379: Pregnant?

She shouldn’t have called her last night.

"Hey, wait a second!" Su Tutu called out to her, "Seriously though, since you’re done with whatever kept you busy, let’s go have some afternoon tea together and find out how Baola is doing with her pursuit."

Not working, she could only get through the day with some gossip.

Sheng Chao had gone to work, leaving Su Tutu bored at home.

Qiao Xi couldn’t help but complain, "... You’re so bored."

Although that’s what she said, Qiao Xi still met up with Su Tutu.

Xie Baola happened to be outside, so they met up at the appointed place.

Wangjiang Cafe.

Su Tutu stirred her coffee, "Baola, weren’t you chasing after some guy? How’s it going?"

She asked bluntly.

Xie Baola rested her chin on her hand with an indifferent look, "Still planning. I just met with the person in charge of a literary website today, and I have to talk about some details with the original author tomorrow. I want to get things settled first."

She was serious about her career.

Once she secured the novel rights, she would slowly adapt it into a script.

Without settling this, she couldn’t continue with the rest of her work.

And she couldn’t earnestly pursue someone.

Su Tutu’s eyes gleamed with excitement, "Sis, do you need me to give you some tips?"

Qiao Xi smirked and said, "Baola, don’t believe her, she only has bad ideas."

Su Tutu was not pleased to hear that.

"How are they bad ideas? Aren’t I more experienced than you two, having been married for over a year?"

Discontent was written all over Su Tutu’s pretty face.

"Thanks for the invitation."

Qiao Xi’s smile deepened.

She sipped her coffee leisurely before she said, "I was married for two years, and now I’ve been divorced for one."

Su Tutu couldn’t come up with a retort.

That was a saucy remark.

Seems like she indeed couldn’t compete.

Su Tutu paused, then said with a stroke of genius, "So what if you’ve been married for two years? You’re still a novice. Can you compare to me?"

Her words were full of pride.

Qiao Xi: "..."

Did she even know what she was saying?

Qiao Xi looked around, and seeing that no one was paying attention to them, only then did she look up and glare at Su Tutu.

"Be more mindful of what you say in public."

"Sorry." Su Tutu covered her mouth, her big eyes spinning around, "But what I said is true."

She giggled.

Qiao Xi: "..."

She was not.

But she wouldn’t voice that kind of thing.

Better to let Su Tutu misunderstand.

Xie Baola gave Qiao Xi a glance before side-eying Su Tutu, "I can handle it on my own, no need for your help."

Xie Baola planned to get her car racing and wingsuit flying friends to invite Chen Jiayan out again to play.

Wouldn’t that provide an opportunity to meet?

"Fine then," Su Tutu waved her hand lazily, "Guess I’ll have to wait to pass on my thirty-six dating techniques to my daughter in the future."

Qiao Xi looked up at her, surprise in her eyes, "You’re pregnant?"

"No, not at all." Su Tutu’s lashes drooped lightly, "Brother Chao and I are being careful. I don’t want to have children for now."

Her career was on the rise.

And they both wanted to enjoy more of their couple’s world for a bit longer.

They weren’t in a hurry for children.

If it happened, they would welcome it, but they weren’t specifically trying for kids.

Just going with the flow.

Xie Baola squinted and gave a slight smile, "You and Brother Chao have been married for over a year; one would think you’d have a child by now."

"No rush." Su Tutu said cheerfully, "Once I get my Movie Queen title, we can talk."

No actor doesn’t want to be a Movie Queen.

Xie Baola waved her hand, her bright facial features beaming, "Easy, just wait for my script."

Everyone was busy with their own stuff usually, but now they had finally found time to meet up.

After leaving the coffee shop, the trio of Qiao Xi went shopping at the nearby mall.

The weather was getting cooler, and it would only get colder.

Su Tutu picked out a trench coat for Qiao Xi to try on.

"Want to try it?"

"Sure."

Qiao Xi took the coat from her.

Su Tutu turned her head to ask, "Aren’t you looking, Baola?"

"Just go ahead."

Xie Baola glanced at her and continued to text.

Su Tutu moseyed over to Qiao Xi, who had taken off her jacket, wearing a thin, light-colored dress with a ruffled neckline that made her figure look slender and balanced.

Qiao Xi directly put on the trench coat from the store.

Su Tutu touched her chin, appraising her, "Fairy Qiao looks good, give us a twirl."

Qiao Xi twirled.

Su Tutu, with her sharp eyes, seemed to have spotted something.

What was that?

She stepped forward to hold Qiao Xi’s shoulder, her sharp gaze fixed on her neck.

"Don’t move!"

Qiao Xi leaned back tactically, "What are you doing?"

Su Tutu pulled open her neckline and involuntarily widened her eyes, "Damn! And you told me nothing happened?"

The concealer had rubbed off from the fabric, revealing a dense array of evidence!

Qiao Xi, in a futile attempt to cover the marks, pulled her neckline shut.

But no matter how she tried to conceal it, Su Tutu had already seen it, and with a suggestive look said, "Looks like you had quite the battle last night!"

Qiao Xi covered her mouth.

"Shut up!"

"What’s wrong?"

Xie Baola looked over.

Su Tutu broke free from Qiao Xi and ran towards Xie Baola, "Baola, I take back what I said earlier, Xixi is no longer a novice."

Xie Baola nonchalantly replied, "Isn’t that normal?"

Su Tutu wanted to say more, but seeing the glaring look from Qiao Xi, she pursed her lips and stayed silent.

Qiao Xi: "..."

What a bad influence of a friend!

Without further interest in clothes, Qiao Xi grabbed her jacket and headed out.

Su Tutu clutched gleefully at Xie Baola as she followed.

"Miss Qiao, what’s wrong?"

Zhou Ge was waiting at the store’s entrance and noticed her expression seemed off.

Qiao Xi tucked her hair behind her ear and said coolly, "It’s nothing."

Su Tutu hugged her arm tightly, "I was wrong, I was wrong. Xixi, even if I knew, I shouldn’t have said it!"

Qiao Xi glanced at her, an icy look in her eyes.

Su Tutu actively admitted her mistake and coaxed her a while before she finally calmed down.

Passing by a men’s clothing store, Qiao Xi suddenly stopped, "I’ll have a look inside."

Su Tutu stepped to keep up.

Xie Baola thought of something and followed them inside.

Qiao Xi and Su Tutu ended up purchasing a pair of cufflinks.

Xie Baola left empty-handed.

After a sufficient shopping trip, the three parted ways.

Once they left, Xie Baola returned to the men’s clothing store they had just visited and bought a tie clip she had eyed.

Suddenly, she felt this clip would suit Chen Jiayan perfectly.

...

Charity Gala night.

To get ready for the event, Qiao Xi spent the afternoon fussing with makeup and selecting dresses.

Shen Dang stayed with her throughout.

GK Entertainment had a highly professional makeup team that served her at Qiao Xi’s studio.
