CHAPTER 250
At this point, for Andromeda, it was safe to say that the past week had been the best she had experienced since her heart fell after Wu Bai's betrayal.
She experienced complete bliss and now that she had tasted the forbidden fruit, there was that part of her begging to come out.
She knew she was innocent but deep within her, there was an inner self yearning to be released out into the open.
A dangerous part of her that both scared and amazed her.
She wished to see just how truly different she could be and wanting to forgo the risks, she decided to reach for the door in her mind and pull it open, letting all of her free.
With a determined front, her fist tightened on her car keys as she pried her eyes open after some seconds of closing them to think.
'I'm going to do this and there is no going back.'
*****
~Liu's Mansion~
Ever since her outing with Xie Tian, Liu Xiao Xin was surprised at the change in behaviour that she noticed from him.
No longer was he ignoring her but he responded quickly to all of her messages and they had tried to see each other more than once after that outing.
Sensing his little interest in her, the little princess of the Liu family could feel her insides tingle with anticipation at the fact that perhaps something was blooming between them.
Although it was safe to say at this point that pushing for it all and wishing he loved her the same way she did, maybe asking for too much.
Regardless, she could not stop herself from such wishful thinking.
She had just finished a video call with Xier Tian and thought of baking him something as a gift.
Being the little princess that she was, cooking wasn't her perfect forte.
Although Xiao Xin wasn't bad at it, his cooking easily put hers to shame when it came to a challenge between her brother and herself.
He specialized in the arts and learnt a lot of foreign cuisines when he was out of the country.
And everything he did, he excelled in that aspect. It was both what was expected of him and being a prodigy child, a product of both intelligent parents, it did not come as a surprise to most people.
To Xiao Xin though, it felt like he stole all the good genes for himself. Notwithstanding, she never gave up and chased after her own dream.
Casting a long glance around the kitchen, her eyes finally came to land on the apron and the cupboard where the baking materials were kept.
Her mother, being a profound chef, always made sure things were stocked at home. This was something that could never be forgotten in the house and for that, she was glad.
Liu Xiao Xin drew in a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
'Even though brother is the best, my cooking still makes people smile. And I bet Xie Tian would not be any different.'
The second she said those words, Liu Xiao Xin made to take a step inside the kitchen when her phone rang out, making her halt in her steps.
Her brows drew together as a mild frown appeared on her beautiful face.
Without saying a word, she reached back into her rouser pocket and took it out.
One would have easily figured out that Xie Tian Was the one who called her but she was sure he wasn't the one.
Before ending the call earlier on, he had informed her he needed to meet with a few business associates over lunch and would call her in the evening to continue their unfinished argument.
Knowing that she knew he definitely wasn't the one calling and worse she hated disturbance when she was baking, especially when against Xueyi.
"Huh, Yuemi? That's unexpected," Liu Xiao Xin muttered to herself.
Slowly, the crease on her brows straightened immediately as she picked up the call.
"Hello, Yuemi."
"Xiao Xin!" The loud-mouthed Gao Yuemi exclaimed upon hearing the latter's voice.
"Gao Yuemi, do you take joy in destroying people's eardrums?" She questioned.
Her brows arched up immediately she heard the latter chuckle from the other end of the phone.
"Hahha... No, no, no. But tell me first, are you still around or have you returned?"
"What do you think? Am I not still using the same call line?"
"Ah yes," Gao Yuemi exclaimed before pressing her lips into a thin line.
"Huh, hello?"
Listening to Liu Xao Xin's confused tone, Gao Yuemi shook her head, "Anyways so you are around, huh?"
"Yup. I just said that."
"I know I was thinking... Scratch that I would just ask and hit the nail on the head."
"Okay, out with it. I was about to do something."
"Hoho," Gao Yuemi laughed out mischievously. "I am afraid you would have to abandon what you are doing."
"Huh, why?"
"Cause you and I are going girls shopping!!"
Liu Xiao Xin rolled her eyes at her and placed a hand on her hips as she released a soft sigh. "And why should I do that?"
Not expecting that kind of remark from her, Gao Yuemi felt like a blow was sent right through her chest. "But Xiao Xin it is I."
"I know. And after what happened when I went out with you, my brother and his girlfriend, I decided to remain on my own."
"Don't be like that. I did nothing
"So, you say. You kept hovering around Xueyi."
"Sigh, I am sorry. It's Xue bear. I can't help it. You know that is how I have always been around him."
"Not an excuse."
"Okay, you know what, allow me to make it up to you with this shopping. Besides, it is just you and I. You can be assured that I will be on my best behaviour. I just want to go out."
"Then go. Why pull me along?" Liu Xiao Xin questioned as the deep V between her brows became visible.
"You and I know that ever since returning to the country, I do not have any friends I can hang out with that I have long known except you."
"Hmm."
"Yes, and Xueyi won't even talk to me."
"He is busy," Liu Xiao Xin spat out quickly.
"I know. Anyways, just come on let us go. I promise it will be fun alright? We can even watch a movie after that since the one we were to do with your brother failed."
She shook her head and took a couple of steps to the left side and leaned against the door frame.
"Are you still holding on to that?"
"I am. So, are you going to make up for it?"
"And why should I? I may be a Liu but I am not Xueyi. He stood you and me up because of important business."
"Alright then, I can go meet him and request compensation. I would tell him you sent me."
Immediately, Liu Xiao Xin gritted her teeth at the thought.
She knew just want Gao Yuemi could do and the last thing she wanted was to have her interrupt her brother and Andromeda.
Left with no choice, she resigned herself to solving this.
"So, choose, come with me or I go meet Xueyi?"
"Fine. Come pick me up in thirty minutes."
"Good girl! I bet..."
Beep! Beep!
