Just as Shi Enxi foretold, Fan Xiao Yao won the Best Actress Award, Excellence Award, and even Rookie Award. Aside from that, just as she promised, Huang Li returned to her, and not long, their relationship became known to the netizens.

    Some were against it and yet, most of her fans cheered for her. She became busier with work and she continued to gain popularity but after a while, she decided to take a break just so she can focus on Huang Li.

    They began living together after he came back from Thailand. He even built a clinic beside their house and if she has to be honest, the neighborhood loved him and began calling him the ''town''s doctor''.

    "Mwwiiilk!!!" A cute shout was heard.

    "Coming, coming. Your milk is almost ready." After heating the bottled milk a bit, Fan Xiao Yao went to the chubby child who was holding on the railings of the crib while he was sitting down. "Here you go, baobei1, warm milk for you, just like you ordered!"

    The child held on the bottle and happily drank the milk she prepared.

    When she saw his satisfied look, she grinned at him before she turned to look at Huang Li who has fallen asleep on the sofa with another child sleeping on his c.h.e.s.t.

    She sighed and walked towards them. She didn''t want to disturb their naps but she was scared that Huang Li might end up pressing the baby if he turned.

    As gentle as she could, she carried the baby and transferred him, placing him inside the crib, beside his brother.

    "Xiao Xue, don''t disturb your brother, okay?" Fan Xiao Yao softly whispered. "Shhh."

    Lu Xueren stopped drinking his milk and copied her by hushing as well, "Shhh~"

    She reached out and gently patted his head, "Good boy, baobei."

    Just then, Fan Xiao Yao was suddenly startled when she felt a pair of arms around her. Good thing, she covered her mouth, stopping herself from making noise.

    "You''re doing great..." Huang Li''s soft, sleepy voice was heard behind her.

    He leaned forward just to rest his chin on her shoulder.

    "Don''t surprise me like that." She whispered, a scolding him that way.

    "You woke me up when you took Xiao Yu." He g.r.o.a.n.e.d.

    "Not my fault. At least I haven''t woke him up." She said in a hushing manner.

    The good thing about Lu Mingyu was that when he fell asleep, he slept like a rock, unlike Lu Xueren who was easily woken up even by the smallest sound.

    Huang Li buried his face in the crook of her head from his position and inhaled her sweet scent. Oh, how he loved having her there with him. That was all he could ask for right at that moment.

    "Uwp! Uwp! Upwitty!" They were disturbed by Lu Xueren who was now standing in the crib, raising his hands up as if wanting to be carried.

    Huang Li turned to the little chubby kid, "You''re heavy, I don''t think I can carry you."

    "Nonsense." Fan Xiao Yao gave his arm a light slap. "Xiao Xue is not heavy at all."

    "Then be my guest and carry him." He released her from his hug just so she can go and carry the boy.

    The moment she did, a groan escaped her lips because of the boy''s heaviness. Whenever she carried him, her arms would at once go tired.

    "You sure are one healthy kid." Fan Xiao Yao said, placing a kiss on the child''s chubby cheek She turned to Huang Li, asking for help a few moments later since her arms began to turn numb.

    "See? I told you?" Although he still went and carried the boy for her to help her up.

    Taking care of Lu Mello''s sons during the weekdays was never easy but she viewed it as a preparation for becoming a mother.

    They were already almost two years old, meaning, five months have passed ever since Shi Enxi disappeared, five months since Shi Anhao was arrested and now was sentenced to a death penalty.

    Fan Xiao Yao pitied Lu Mello, he was searching for his wife everywhere, and yet, there was no sign of her.

    Shi Anhao claimed that she killed her and threw her body to a place where it can never be found by them.

    Every time she accompanied Lu Mello to visit Shi Anhao just to inquire about her about the whereabouts of his wife, she would never fail to taunt him.

    "You should have heard her cry!"

    "You should have heard seen her! The look in her face was so satisfying!"

    "She asked for help, calling your name every time I stabbed her! Hahaha!"

    Those were the same words she shouted at him. Each time he visited her, he would always go out of control but was always stopped by the guards before he could even kill Shi Anhao.

    That night, from what she heard from Huang Li, the police arrived before he could. He was not given a chance to even touch a strand of Shi Anhao''s hair when they arrested her. They said that when they found Shi Anhao, Shi Enxi was already gone but the scene was covered with blood. Too much blood.

    Shi Anhao didn''t have a scratch on her so it was suspected that the blood found belonged to Shi Enxi.

    During the months she disappeared, Fan Xiao Yao never failed to check on Lu Mello and his sons. She felt responsible, as Shi Enxi''s best friend, to look after her family. At least that was the only thing she could do until she came back... she hoped so.

    Lu Mello refused to hold a funeral for his wife, he refused to believe that she was dead and so was she. Fan Xiao Yao, together with Huang Li, refused to believe that she was dead. Not someone like Shi Enxi.

    If there was someone who could escape death, it was going to be none other than her. She was sure of it.

    "Xiao Yao." Huang Li''s voice brought her back to reality.

    "Mm?"

    "Should we get married?" baby
