The mirror said she was heading back to school this weekend.
Luckily, Charlotte had a half day off today, so she could hang out with her. Otherwise, she’d have to wait until her next trip home.
“Aren’t you going back next week?” Charlotte asked, surprised.
“Something came up at school. I’m going back two days early. You can come visit me next time,” the mirror replied.
“Well, if Alexander is free, we’ll come together!” Charlotte answered with a smile.
“Why do you have to wait for Alexander to be free? Can’t you go out alone?” the mirror asked, frowning.
How could she be so dependent after getting married?
“You don’t know how directionally challenged I am. It’s fine in China. But if I get lost abroad, what then?”
“When you get to the airport, I’ll pick you up directly. Can you get lost on the plane?” the mirror retorted.
Charlotte laughed for a long time.
“Alright, alright. When I graduate, I’ll come see you sometime!”
“That’s more like it!” the mirror nodded with satisfaction.
Maybe it was because she was about to go abroad, but she wasn’t in the mood to shop. Instead, she wanted to find a place to sit down and have a good chat with Charlotte.
In the end, the two of them sat down to rest in a nearby café.
They ordered some drinks and chatted while eating.
“Charlotte, after I go abroad, I won’t be able to look out for you. You need to learn to be smarter. Don’t be as naive as before. You’re married now. You’re not alone anymore...” the mirror rambled on.
Charlotte looked at the mirror with a smile. She was touched, but also a little amused.
The mirror seemed to treat her like her own child. She felt uneasy if she didn’t have her by her side. She wanted to put armor on her to protect her.
“Mirror, I’m not that weak. You don’t have to worry about me so much!” Charlotte said with a smile.
“It’s different now. Your opponent is Alexander. Oh, wrong. Your husband is Alexander. He doesn’t have any other thoughts. He’s only good to you. But if he did have other thoughts, you wouldn’t stand a chance against him at all!”
“Alexander is not that kind of person!” Charlotte shook her head.
“Of course I hope he’s not that kind of person. But we shouldn’t trust someone too much and lose our basic judgment and ability to protect ourselves. Even if Alexander is perfect and loves you very much, you married into a family that’s not as simple as an ordinary one. Alexander also has two older sisters and a big brother. Even though the big brother has passed away, he still has a widow and an orphan. Haven’t you heard that the rich family is as deep as the sea? Besides, I heard that their family had quarrels over property. I also heard that his two older sisters...” The mirror hesitated.
“What’s the problem?” Charlotte asked, looking puzzled.
“I heard about it too. I don’t know if it’s true. Anyway, I heard that Alexander’s two older sisters are half-siblings with him, and they’ve always had opinions about the inheritance!” the mirror continued.
“Ah?” Charlotte looked at the mirror in dismay. “That’s impossible. I haven’t heard of it!”
“I heard it through the grapevine. I don’t know if it’s true or not. Anyway, their interpersonal relationships are very complicated. I think when you got married and moved into that family, you walked into a wolf’s den with a rabbit. If you’re not careful, you’ll be gnawed until even your bones are gone.”
“How can it be!” Charlotte couldn’t help but laugh.
“Don’t think all the news I’ve heard is groundless. Since someone said it, even if it’s not all true, at least one or two points are true! Anyway, you should pay attention to it yourself. Of course, if they have a very good relationship, then it’s nothing.”
“Okay!” Charlotte nodded.
“Alas, I’m like a eunuch worrying about the emperor. I’m not in a hurry, but I’m dying of anxiety for you!” the mirror looked at Charlotte and sighed.
“It’s okay. I’ll be careful myself.” Charlotte smiled and pacified the mirror.
“Just be careful yourself!” the mirror nodded.
“You should eat more. Otherwise, you’ll complain about the bad food after going abroad. You’ll often be hungry.”
“I’m often hungry, but have you seen me lose any weight?” the mirror sighed.
“You’re so thin. How much thinner can you get? If you lose any more weight, you’ll become a bamboo pole. No chest, no butt!” Charlotte rolled her eyes.
“You don’t have a chest or a butt either. Forget it. Do you think so? How many women in the world are perfectly proportioned?”
“What are you talking about?” Charlotte laughed and scolded the mirror.
At this moment, the mirror leaned in close to Charlotte and asked mysteriously, “You and your man, is your life harmonious?”
“What?” Charlotte looked at the mirror, puzzled.
“It’s about sex!” the mirror replied bluntly.
Charlotte was stunned for a moment. The next second, she finally reacted. She picked up her juice to drink, avoiding the mirror’s gaze. “I don’t know what you’re talking about!”
“Hmph, if you don’t want to say it, then don’t say it!”
“We’re fine!” Charlotte blushed and said.
The mirror immediately laughed and continued to gossip. “It’s not like there are multiple times in a night. How many times in a night? Look at your man’s physique. It shouldn’t be bad! I’m afraid you can’t handle it!”
“Hate it! Why are we talking about this!” Charlotte protested, her face red and ears burning.
“I’m not a pure little girl anymore. You’re a married woman, and you’re still acting so innocent!” the mirror rolled its eyes.
“...” Charlotte stared at the mirror, but in the end, she couldn’t help but laugh. “When you get married, we’ll discuss this issue again!”
“Although I have no actual combat experience, my theoretical experience is absolutely top-notch. Do you want me to teach you a few moves to tempt your husband?” the mirror asked with a smile.
“No, you’d better keep those tempting moves for yourself!”
“Go on. If I could tempt him, I wouldn’t be single until now!” the mirror replied.
“Mirror, do you still like Noah?” Charlotte put away her joking tone and asked the mirror seriously.
“How should I put it?”
After taking a sip of coffee, the mirror continued, “I used to like him very much. But I knew he liked you. So I thought, forget it. I can’t like my friend’s husband. Later, he went abroad, didn’t he? Then I went abroad too! I didn’t really like him that much in those years. Maybe it was because I didn’t get along with him. The feeling gradually faded. After I came back last year, I saw him and I still had a good impression. Then I came back to China this year. I was very angry when I knew that you abandoned Noah and went to marry another man. What’s wrong with Noah? Didn’t you like Noah too? Why were you in such a hurry to marry someone else? Later, I thought, maybe it’s fate! You are destined to be with Noah, but I’m not compatible with Noah. Although the time is right and the place is right, I like him, but he doesn’t like me. So that’s it!”
In the end, the mirror spread out its hands and shrugged.
