Chapter 32 - YOU ARE WORTH MORE THAN A THOUSAND FRIENDS

"You know what Xiao Bai,I should have taken a picture of your expression earlier,I bet your fans will find it hard to believe that their goddess was actually crying because of her favourite cake.?

"Ge'er!you know I sometimes get intimidated whenever you try to caution me?The fact that I couldn't eat my favourite strawberry cake is all due to the promise I made with you,I'm scared whenever you put on this serious expression",Xiao Bai replied in an exaggerated manner.She had promised Lie Ruge that she was going to cut down eating sweets although she often take sweet secretly behind her back but this particular cake was different.

"You know I love you the most right?You will always remain my best friend in this lifetime.Even though I am ruthless to my enemies I will always be patient with you like you did in the past",Lie Ruge replied.It was rare to see her being emotional.She still remembered when her mum was murdered in her presence when she was just ten years old.She had to go through series psychological therapy but her best friend never left her side.Xiao Bai was even bullied alongside her but she never complained or whined about any kind of discomfort.If not for her best friend Xiao Bai then they wouldn't be Lie Ruge right now.

She was lost in thought.

"Ge'er!stop daydreaming about your painful past.I did all those things willingly so there is no reason for you to feel guilty about that.You are worth more than a thousand friends,I mean it.I chose you because it was you all along.You have suffered a million grievances more than anyone I have ever known".

"But....."

Before She could complete her sentence,Xiao Bai interrupted her,"Ge'er!there is no but.Come on let us eat,the food is getting cold".

They ate their food silently.All the while they were eating,Xiao Bai's attention was on the cake that was on the table.After eating all the other dishes,Xiao Bai settled on the strawberry cake.She devoured the cake in such way that anyone who witness this sight might assume that she has been severely starved for about a year.She feasted on the cake as though someone else might snatch the cake from her hands.Lie Ruge silently glanced at her best friend in amus.e.m.e.nt as she sipped her wine.

Xiao Bai stretched her hand to pour herself a glass of wine."Darling,you can only have a little quantity of the wine because I won't tolerate you getting drunk today again"

"Ge'er! don't I look extraordinarily cute whenever I am drunk.This red wine will really complement these strawberry cake.The exquisite taste of this cake is so yummy. ...."Xiao Bai replied while shaking her head gently in gesticulation.

"You can have it all to yourself but you don't need to eat the cake in such a hurry like a baby who is afraid that her toy will be snatched away from her grip Ok?"

"Sure".

After paying the bills with her card,they left the restaurant.

Inside the car Lie Ruge and Xiao Bai started chatting.

"Ge'er!how about I sleep over at your Mansion today?"

"You don't have to ask me for permission for that,my home is always readily open to you",

"Ok,Ge'er you told me that uncle wanted you to settle down and get married soon but I haven't seen any progress till now".

"Father will understand that I have been quite preoccupied with work so I don't think he will make a big deal out of it",

"But Ge'er, I'm really in support of uncle's idea of you opening up your heart so that you will find love.I'm certain that uncle will not take this lightly because you failed to keep your words.You might even get married before I come back from my trip hahaha......but Ge'er even though uncle forced you to get married in a hurry,you can't have your wedding in my absence Ok?
