The Sweetest ‘Fake’ Couple

 Chapter 8 - Empty Woman (2)

In a newly opened celebrity dessert shop in the city center, there were two women who were angrily chattering in the corner of the room.

“That ****! All along he had a wife and child and they even ran out to sell the things that was given by his fans. After being exposed, they even asked for blessings! This old lady is spending money on you! There are also passerbys who have not sent a penny and now cursing the fans for not sending their blessings? We can’t interfere with our idol’s private life? They are ****! He f*cking asked us to spend money and now his wife is selling what we have given him? Why didn’t he say that he has a wife and child? Why not ask his wife to spend money on him?”

Lu Li stirred the watermelon juice in the cup with her straw, listening to Qiao Jiayi angrily insulting the idol while nodding her head from time to time and answering with an ‘En’.

Qiao Jiayi scolded the male idol who had gotten married in secret and his wife who had given birth last night. She was more sincere than Lu Li. Now that their house had collapsed again, she was angry. Lu Li could understand this.

And besides, she has already scolded the idol in her fan account.

In fact, with their living environment and status, it is not difficult to get in touch with celebrities, but the fun of chasing stars lies in the sense of distance and ambiguity with idols. So the two rarely takes the initiative to contact celebrities. Aside from gossip, one can avoid insider news. As a result, with them keeping their distance and not asking any inside stories, it leads to a fire and then the collapse of their house.

Qiao Jiayi scolded her heart out.

Lu Li comforted: “It’s okay. Change into another idol if it doesn’t work out.”

Qiao Jiayi got tired of scolding, picked up her straw, and sipped half a cup of the lemon tea.

She then let out a sigh of relief, looked at Lu Li, who was not afraid of having a collapsed house, and then changed the subject.

“Chi Chenyan came back from a business trip? I heard someone mention it yesterday.”

Chi Chenyan was mentioned and Lu Li’s lips pursed: “Yeah.”

Qiao Jiayi shook her head and sighed: “To be honest, I always felt that your marriage with Chi Chenyan will definitely not last for more than three months. Now you are reaching three years. It’s really a mystery.” She said and gave a thumbs up. 

“And I found out that you plastic couples are quite tacit. Maybe you can work out for a lifetime. It’s better than those who got married, acted sweet and cute, then divorced after two years!”

Lu Li paused.

Why does this sound awkward to her?

She looked at Qiao Jiayi on the opposite side: “So what did you want to announce that you even asked me to meet up?”

“Is it about your declaration of giving up on a certain idol?”

Qiao Jiayi remembered the main purpose of coming out today. She leaned back a bit, then acted mysterious: “Uh, no.”

Lu Li: “The what is it?”

Qiao Jiayi smiled embarrassedly, and she was totally different from the way she acted earlier when she was insulting her former idol.

She cautiously looked at Lu Li, who was like a widow in her marriage, took a deep breath in sympathy, and finally said, “I… I have a boyfriend.”

Lu Li opened her mouth and looked surprised.

Facing the shy-faced Qiao Jiayi, she spit out a ‘F*ck’.

Qiao Jiayi faced Lu Li, three point guilty, three point sincere, and four point sympathetic, and said: “Lili, I’m sorry. I feel sorry for you.”

Lu Li put down the straw, and the whole person slumped back on the sofa.

She looked desperately at Qiao Jiayi.

She called her out not to announce her departure from a male idol’s fandom but because she was out of the single status?

Lu Li knows exactly what it means for Qiao Jiayi to leave this status.

In this world, only two woman who are single or not single can play together. Although she is not single, she is better than being single, so she is able to play well with the single Qiao Jiayi before. Now that Qiao Jiayi has left the single status, if she wants to go out and play in the future, the first candidate would be her boyfriend, not her.

It means that Qiao Jiayi is about to start talking about her sweet love, and she can only continue to play fake couple with her fake husband.

This is not Hong Kong City where a lot of wealthy ladies are going out together so that life will not be boring. This is City S, and Qiao Jiayi is her only friend in this city.

Qiao Jiayi’s expression was sad: “I really struggled for a long time, and I don’t want to. Every second that I was with him, I struggled really hard, I really resisted. But then, you…”

Lu Li raised her finger: “But what?”

Qiao Jiayi hid her face as if she was crying: “But the enemy’s offensive is really too fierce! I, I’m just like the other young girls who makes mistakes.”

Lu Li: “…”
