Chapter 462: Wife, I am unhappy.
"You are back." Wenli’s voice shocked her the moment she stepped into the dimly lit living room. Wenli and Ximeng were still awake, sitting in the living room and apparently waiting for her to return. These two were sitting on the floor and they had laid down a blanket and pillows. Two wine glasses and a variety of snacks sat on the table and a movie was playing on the laptop.
"I am back." Chi Lian replied and she sat down on the sofa, she also kicked off her heels and started gently massaging her feet. "There is a television in this living room, why are you watching a movie on a laptop?"
"I was watching alone." Wenli said. "She joined me ten minutes ago."
"How was dinner with the Smiths? Are they anything like the couple from the movie Mr. and Mrs. Smith?" Ximeng asked.
In this world and her previous one the movie existed, was a box office hit and both the actor and actress were famous. They also fell in love, got married, started a family and got divorced. Some people’s fate was to live the same exact life, with the same face in every world it seemed.
"They are wealthy and good looking but that’s were the similarities end. I do not think this couple assassinates people for a living. They were very welcoming, friendly, charming and too assuming. By the time I left Mrs. Smith had invited herself over to our empire for the liberation day celebrations and she is expecting me to host her.
"See rich people easily get along with other rich people. If you were a struggling actress, an ordinary teacher or nurse I guarantee that she would not have invited herself." Ximeng commented.
"I think she just wants to come and sniff my children." Chi Lian mumbled. Half of the time at the dinner table Mrs. Smith grilled her for information on Mei-Mei as if she was looking for secrets from a spy. Perhaps losing her own daughter made her a tad bit addicted to loving other people’s baby girls. If she wanted a daughter so much, in Chi Lian’s opinion maybe she should adopt one. There were thousands of orphaned children in every empire that needed love and a family, millions in the entire world. But it was none of her business so she kept her mouth shut and allowed Mrs. Smith to smile and make ’Awww’ sounds while showering compliments on Mei-Mei.
"I am off to talk to my husband, enjoy your movie you two. Are the others sleeping by the way?"
