782 Having It Tough
"I told you I'm not naming her Ying," said Su Xixi to Wen Ai in a stern voice. "It's my daughter, why are you the one selecting the name?"
"Because she is gonna be my daughter-in-law," retorted Wen Ai with certainty.
Su Xixi sighed out heavily, "Ai, I told you that's not happening."
"Why are you against it?"
Su Xixi took a deep breath, "I'm not against it. I mean, if they really fell in love, I'd be over the moon. Trust me. But I am not gonna fix an arrange marriage between our kids when they are not even born yet."
"If we fix the marriage early on, they'll fall in love eventually," argued Wen Ai.
Su Xixi didn't look like she was having any of that nonsense as she sternly replied, "No means still no. What if they grow up and fall for someone else? Wouldn't it be unfair to them? They deserve to choose their own life partners."
Wen Ai scoffed, "I'm not making you my son's godmother." She looked at Zhao Huan, "Sister Huan, you can be the godmother of my son. How is that?"
"Petty!" was all that Su Xixi said.
Zhao Huan didn't want to come between these two best friends so she changed the topic saying, "I didn't even know you both best friends are pregnant at the same time."
"Not the same time," said Wen Ai. "I'm 8 months long. She is six. However, if you look at her, she looks like she is having it worse than me."
Su Xixi didn't even deny it as she said, "I'm truly having it worse than you. Your son is quite well-behaved. This devil inside of me is gonna be the death of me. I'm telling you, I'm never having another child."
"It's a daughter?" asked Zhao Huan and Su Xixi nodded in reply.
"It's a daughter and not a very good one."
Zhao Huan chuckled softly, "It's normal though. Not everyone's pregnancies go smoothly." She took a pause and added, "Since both your kids are gonna be around the same age, they might become best friends like you two."
Su Xixi smiled happily at that, "I'd love to see that."
Wen Ai scowled, "I don't want that."
"Why not?" questioned Zhao Huan in confusion.
"Sister Huan, our three generations had been best friends. Isn't it about time that we move out of the best friend zone?"
Zhao Huan frowned in confusion at Wen Ai's words, "Three generations?"
"My paternal grandmother and her grandfather had been best friends back in the day. Later on, our mothers also became the best of friends. And now, we are also best friends." Su Xixi elaborated it for Zhao Huan who was surprised to learn that.
"Wow, you really have a deep history," said Zhao Huan.
"That is why I don't want this to continue," Wen Ai voiced out. "Why can't our kids marry?" She looked at Su Xixi and asked, "What if one of them did fall in love with the other?"
Xin Zimen waved at Su Xixi and placed the chocolate ice cream before his wife. "Happy now?"
Wen Ai hurriedly opened the box and salivated, "Well, the choco chips are a little... Ah! Ah! Ah!" She glared at her best friend who was pinching her and shouted, "What?"
"Complain again and I'm gonna smack your head right here!" Wen Ai pressed her lips together seeing Su Xixi's anger. "He is your husband. Why are you still bullying him? Do you want me to call mom?"
Wen Ai silently put a spoonful of ice cream into her mouth so that she didn't have to speak now. Since she was raised by Su Xixi's mother after her own parents' death, she really respected her. And as for Su Xixi, she couldn't possibly say anything to her either. Her temper was far worse than her own. Although they both were best friends, they had only one difference in their personalities. While Wen Ai took everything carefreely, Su Xixi was very cautious with everything.
Su Xixi looked at Xin Zimen's condition and said, "Zizi, you're having it tough."
Xin Zimen sat down and closed his eyes saying, "Then why don't you stay for a couple of days? Your best friend can only be controlled by you."
"Maybe I should," said Su Xixi, and Wen Ai was alarmed.
"No, you can't stay," Wen Ai hurriedly said. And when Su Xixi eyed her, she smiled awkwardly, "I mean to say that your husband would be lonely without you."
"Maybe I should invite him to stay with us as well," suggested Xin Zimen on purpose.
"That's a good idea," even Su Xixi played along.
Wen Ai looked at Su Xixi and said, "Best friend, we have spent 11 years in the same room. How about keeping our distance now?"
Su Xixi pulled her cheek saying, "I'm not gonna stay. Relax! But stop bullying him. Look how tired he is."
Wen Ai looked over at Xin Zimen and said, "He is still looking handsome to me."
Su Xixi hit her head lightly, "You're impossible!"
Wen Ai rubbed her head saying, "Did I say something wrong though?" She puckered her lips, "You just need an excuse to hit me."
Su Xixi smiled at her devilishly, "My dear friend, I don't even need an excuse to hit you. I can just rightfully do it anytime and anywhere. You can't do anything about that."
Wen Ai grumbled under her breath feeling wronged for having a best friend like this. "I so wish your daughter doesn't turn out to be like you."
Xin Zimen suddenly ended up laughing with his eyes still closed, "Just imagine that if both your kids turned out to be like you too, rather than being best friends, they might fight like enemies all the time. It'd a sight to behold."
