"If you don't love Lu Zihao anymore, then it's better to break it off as early as possible," Chen Fei continued saying before Long Jinjing could respond. "Don't feel like you have to stay with him just for the sake of your babies. Girl, don't forget that you're the CFO of a booming company now. You're a boss bitch just like me and your sister! You don't need a man to build a happy family. I know damn well that you can raise your kids by yourself. Heck, I'll help you. I know that Xiulan will also help you and so will our other friends from the girl squad."
"N-no! That's not it, Xiaofei!" Long Jinjing was now panicking. "I'm not…it's not like that at all, okay?"
"Then what is it? Explain to me so that I'll understand. All this dilly-dallying is a big waste of time. Do you still love Lu Zihao?"
"Yes! Of course, I still love him. I love him so much, especially now that both of us are expecting our own set of twins. I can no longer imagine my life now without him."
Chen Fei had to physically press her hand over her mouth to prevent herself from making a sarcastic comment. She also looked up at the ceiling so that Long Jinjing couldn't see her rolling her eyes.
Unlike her other friends who had experienced love, Chen Fei still didn't know that it felt like. Deep inside, she thought it silly that normally intelligent people like her best friend Long Jinjing would turn so stupid when it came to love. No matter how much she wanted to lecture Long Jinjing, it wasn't her place to do so due to lack of personal experience.
Sighing, Chen Fei chose to remain quiet lest she blurt out unnecessary words that might hurt her best friend. Fortunately, Long Jinjing didn't need any additional probing for her to finally divulge the reason why she hadn't married Lu Zihao yet.
"It's because I…I've become so f-fat and ugly."
Chen Fei blinked a few times and even tapped her ears to check if they were still working properly.
"Can you repeat what you said? I don't think I heard it right."
Long Jinjing pouted and turned red. "Don't make me repeat it again, Xiafei. It's so…embarrassing!"
"So you do know that your reason is embarrassing! Girl, what the hell?!"
Long Jinjing bit her lower lip. "I appreciate that Ni—Zihao is acting so responsible by wanting to register our marriage first before I give birth and then have the wedding ceremony when I'm ready. B-but...you know, uhm…."
Chen Fei didn't need her friend to say anything more. She already knew the real reason why Long Jinjing kept on delaying her marriage with Lu Zihao.
"Holy fucking fried mackerel, Long Jinjing! Are you fucking kidding me?! This is ridiculous! Absolutely fucking ridiculous! My gosh, girl!"
"I know it already. You don't have to say it to my face. I know how ridiculous I'm acting right now." Long Jinjing grabbed a pillow and hugged it above her belly for comfort.
Chen Fei wanted to shake some sense back to her best friend but could only restrain herself because Long Jinjing might give birth prematurely from the force.
"Jing, come on!" Chen Fei pulled at her own hair in frustration. "I know that you're usually not confident about yourself for whatever dumb reason but this is not good anymore. This is not right, I'm telling you! I'm worried about you. What if you develop post-partum depression because of this? Did you not watch the film 'Strong Yet Broken'? Although your situation is different, I still don't want you to end up like Guan Jintao's mother and become depressed all your life after giving birth."
