Tang Xi sits opposite to Han Rouxi and starts eating her breakfast . She guzzles everything of her food as she is super hungry.
COUGH!!
She coughs choking and searches for water.
Han Rouxi stands suddenly and hands her a glass of water "Miss Tang!". She runs beside Tang Xi and rubs her back worriedly.
Aunt Song comes ranting "What's the need to hurry always?! Why don't you eat slowly?!".
Han Rouxi too nods"Yes Miss Tang! You should be careful!".
Tang Xi looks around worriedly and sighs relaxed 'Thank God! He is not here! He would have made fun of me!'.
She smiles at both and says shyly "Thank you...I was just ...hungry...".
Aunt Song goes in helplessly and Han Rouxi sits in her chair.
Tang Xi keeps on watching her mobile and eats slowly as she learnt some lesson which will last 'for a while'. She just can't resist herself eating clumsily these days.
Han Rouxi looks at Tang Xi worriedly and clears her throat before speaking "Miss.Tang?".
Tang Xi who was digging her food before, looks at her blankly "Mm?".
Han Rouxi asks reluctantly "Aren't you sad or... angry?".
Tang Xi frowns doubtfully "Why should I? The food is nice, isn't it? Wait! Don't you like the food?".
Han Rouxi laughs relaxed "Miss. Tang. I am talking about me".
Tang Xi avoids looking her"Why should I be sad or angry because of you?". 'I am just sad about his attitude'.
Han Rouxi asks smiling "Thank you Miss.Tang".
Tang Xi tilts her head questioning.
Han Rouxi smiles "For giving me a second chance. Even after Cheng's disapproval you brought me here".
Tang Xi hides her displease and nods "That's alright". She starts eating without looking her.
Han Rouxi is still looking at Tang Xi and asks "Don't you feel annoying? .....My presence?".
Tang Xi stops eating at instant and looks back at Rouxi "Why would I?". 'I myself brought you in my home. I just wanted to annoy 'him'. Technically, I am just using you to provoke him'.
Han Rouxi smiles doubtfully "Don't you fear...that...he will leave you for me?".
Tang Xi looks at Han Rouxi worriedly 'I am really sad for you Miss. Han....You are still dreaming about getting him back...Am I hurting her indirectly? She would be disappointed when she realizes that Cheng is not hers anymore..'.
Han Rouxi apologizes, seeing Tang Xi sad "I am so sorry Miss.Tang. I am really really sorry...I didn't mean to hurt you. I am-".
Tang Xi sighs "I am sorry Miss.Han. I wholeheartedly wanted to give you a chance that's why you are here. If you think I will feel bad because of your presence then you are absolutely wrong. So just try to patch up with your friend soon instead of wasting your time on me".
Saying so, Tang Xi stands "Excuse me".
Han Rouxi looks at Tang Xi blankly, mumbling "Why are you apologizing...". She stops seeing, Tang Xi already walked into the kitchen. 'Is she really good? or pretending to be good? Why did she bring me? Is she really genuine in helping me? Then doesn't she love Cheng? Yes! Why would she allow me then if she loved him?!'.
Tang Xi walks out of the kitchen saying "Aunt Song..Don't wait for me. I won't be coming for lunch".
Aunt Song comes out hurriedly and hands her a bottle "Miss! Have this juice and don't exhaust yourself!".
Tang Xi doesn't know whether to laugh or cry. She chuckles "Aunt Song! I am not a kid! In fact I am going to take care of the kids in future. Stop treating me as a kid who goes to school!".
Aunt Song stuffs the bottle in Tang Xi's hands and rubs her forehead "I am really worried Miss! I wonder how you would take care of the babies in future! Thinking about it makes me feel worried".
Tang Xi squints her eyes darkly and holds Aunt Song's shoulder by both hands "Aunt Song! You are forgetting something! I raised my son alone for 3 years. So stop worrying-". She stops talking instantly and stammers "I..I ...will see... you later".
Tang Xi walks towards the door sadly and looks at the bottle in her hand. She smiles faintly and opens the door to go out.
Aunt Song sighs sadly and goes into the kitchen.
Han Rouxi looks at Tang Xi and stops her "Miss Tang?".
Tang Xi sighs boring 'Now what?! I can't be good all the time! I too will go mad if she keeps on -'.
Han Rouxi asks "Where are you going?".
Tang Xi looks at her doubtfully "Why do you care?". 'Why does she expect me to inform her? Is she taking advantage of the situation?'.
Han Rouxi gets sad and explains "I am sorry if I go overboard. I wanted to talk ....but you were sleeping last night...How about you take me with you? I won't disturb you-".
Tang Xi smiles "I am just sending off Ananya and we won't get time to talk as Ananya will never give us a chance. Moreover, we would be shopping so you will feel all alone, Miss Han. I suggest you to stay here and rest well".
Han Rouxi smiles eagerly "Can't you take me? Please... I had been alone for months! I really felt happy spending time with you two yesterday..".
Tang Xi looks at her doubtfully 'Why is she behaving so weird? She got a chance ...my absence in this home at least for few hours...Instead of staying here with him, she wants to accompany me? Strange!'.
Seeing Tang Xi looking at her, Han Rouxi smiles "Cheng would be leaving to the head office anyway...I would be left alone..Please Miss.Tang...".
Tang Xi "..." She actually thinks that he would leave for his office? Should I say her the truth?'.
Han Rouxi lets out a deep breath defeated "I am sorry...I am causing trouble...".
Tang Xi rolls her eyes helplessly "Don't blame me if you feel alone..".
Han Rouxi pulls Tang Xi excited "I always wanted to go shopping with my girl friends! But my family never allowed me! Thank you Miss.Tang!
