Chapter 2533: She looks petty in contrast.

The woman seemingly did not notice the uneasy expression on the other’s face and proceeded to speak softly with a smile. “I’m quite surprised to know that Zhe is married already, though. Oh, that’s right! I still don’t know your name.”
The thing was Rong Xuan could tell that the actress was silently showing her power, but having migrated to Italy at the age of ten and growing up in this country, she had adopted the forthright attitude that was unique to Europeans and did not bother concealing her hostility toward her.
Her tone was not exactly polite when she asked for the actress’s name.
“My name is Yun Shishi.”
“Yun Shishi? Does it mean picturesque and poetic?”
“Yes. ‘Yun’ for clouds and ‘Shi’ for poems.”
“Whoa! Bingo!”
Mu Yazhe was somewhat surprised and impressed by her standard of Chinese; her mother-tongue remained fluent and she articulated her words clearly even though she had migrated to a foreign land at a young age.
Seemingly understanding his quizzical look, she told him, “Zhe, I’m currently working at the embassy; do you know?”
“Is your mother still working as a diplomat at the embassy?”
“Yes.”
There was an indescribable air of nobility to her from the elegance and calmness she displayed through her words and actions. If one had to put it into words, the woman simply looked like a noblesse!
Her graciousness, however, made Yun Shishi appear like a bitter and petty woman in contrast.
After all, she was now the man’s wife, while the other woman was nothing but his childhood friend. There was nothing wrong with them doing some catching-up over dinner, having reunited after so many years, yet she took it personally and treated the other woman with gruffness!
“Childhood sweethearts?” The actress faked a laugh and glanced at her husband. “I didn’t expect you to know about love when you were little! I thought you were rigid and broody like how you are now, a little, old man!”
“Haha—no way!” Rong Xuan laughed in surprise.
“Zhe wasn’t this mature as a kid! He might be a little brooding and gloomy, but most of the time—hm… at least, when he’s around me, he loved to laugh! His eyes were beautiful and mesmerizing even back then; it’s as if he had countless, little stars hidden in them! It was because of his eyes that I fell in love with him.”
Yun Shishi was somewhat uncomfortable by her candor and open-mindedness, though it was only inevitable that they might have some clashes in personalities, for one grew up in a European society, while the other was a typical Oriental woman.
Hearing her love rival talk about her husband’s childhood days gave her mixed feelings. On one hand, she was really curious to hear more about his childhood, on the other hand, she was opposed and resistant to the idea of hearing it from this woman’s mouth!
In her silence, she saw the woman smiling at her man with affection shining in her eyes; it seemed that she was recollecting their carefree childhood days by looking at his face.
“Zhe, you really grew up to become a mature man! Good thing you look the same as how I remember you; it’s just that you have deeper eyes, a sharper nose and a more defined facial shape. What about me? Do you think that I’ve changed a lot?”
