However, Zuo Weiyi left like a gust of wind.
“I’m going to meet a friend!” As she reached the door, she suddenly stopped and turned around to look at Zuo Yi at the chess table. “Also, I’m not going back today!”
After saying that, she smiled at her grandpa and turned around to run out of the door.
At three o’clock in the afternoon, Zuo Weiyi arrived at the entrance of Joss Hotel in a white Porsche.
Just as she arrived, she saw a slim woman standing in front of the building.
That familiar figure was none other than Bei Xingchen, whom she had not seen for almost half a year!
The car slowly came to a stop. Bei Xingchen stood there quietly with a stylish and simple lady’s handbag in her hand.
When she saw the white car stop, she stared at it for a while. Then, she saw the car door open.
At the sight of her best friend, she shouted. “Xingchen!”
Bei Xingchen was the same. The moment she saw her, she was overjoyed!
“My dear!”
The two girls hugged each other, their faces filled with unspeakable happiness.
“Weiyi, why do you look like you’ve been having a bad time?” As they parted, Bei Xingchen noticed that her face did not look so good. Moreover, compared to when she was in Z Country, she had clearly lost a lot of weight. She could not help but frown.
Zuo Weiyi looked at her best friend with a faint smile and changed the topic. “What about you? Why did you suddenly come to C Country?”
Bei Xingchen pursed her lips and her bright eyes shifted. She did not answer her question directly. Instead, she said, “Let’s go. Let’s find a place to have afternoon tea.”
Bei Xingchen pulled her away from the entrance of Joss Hotel.
The two of them found a cafe and sat down.
“Two cappuccinos, please,” Bei Xingchen said to the waiter as he walked over.
Cappuccinos were their favorite, especially in winter.
However, just as the waiter turned to leave, Zuo Weiyi hurriedly called out to him, “Just one cup, actually!”
Her sudden words made Bei Xingchen pause and frown. “What’s wrong?”
Every time they came to a place like this, they would order the same type of coffee. So she did not hesitate to order two cups of cappuccinos, not expecting Zuo Weiyi to want otherwise.
Zuo Weiyi turned around and smiled at her, but she did not answer. Instead, she said to the waiter who was still waiting, “Just give me a cup of lemonade.”
The waiter nodded and left.
Bei Xingchen asked again, “Weiyi, haven’t you always liked cappuccinos?”
Zuo Weiyi only pursed her lips and smiled at her friend’s question. Then, she looked around, leaned over and whispered to her, “I’m… pregnant. I can’t drink coffee.”
Bei Xingchen’s eyes widened from what she just heard.
She really wanted to shout in delight, but since they were in public, she had to hold it in. Her eyes shone as she looked at Zuo Weiyi across her. With a lowered voice, she asked again, “You’re pregnant?!”
Zuo Weiyi nodded.
“Oh my god, you-you’re actually pregnant!” Bei Xingchen was a little excited. “How many months has it been?”
“More than two months.”
“When the baby is born, you have to me the godmother!”
“Okay, as long as you don’t mind,” Zuo Weiyi said with a smile.
“Of course, how could I mind my own godson!” Bei Xingchen’s face was full of anticipation, and she suddenly asked, “Did Shi Yuting know at the time?”
Zuo Weiyi looked up and paused slightly when she heard the name her best friend uttered. Her expression became a little gloomy.
