Xia Zixi leaned against the door of the ward, patted her chest, and breathed heavily, trying to calm her frightened heart.

"Zixi, come and sit down."

Xia Zixi looked at Tong Nuanwan, was stunned for a few seconds, and then slowly walked over.

Tong Nuanwan patted the location of the ward.

Xia Zixi did not sit down, but stared at Tong Nuanwan.

"Mrs. Li? Should I bow?"

"What are you thinking about?" Tong Nuanwan picked up the pillow behind her and threw it directly at Xia Zixi.

"Wanwan? Can I call you that?" Xia Zixi put the pillow back behind Tong Nuanwan carefully, as if the pillow was worth millions.

"You've been calling me that for more than ten years, and now you want to change your name."

Xia Zixi slumped on the hospital bed like a deflated ball.

"Wanwan, you are now the young lady of the Li family. I am just a commoner, and I don’t know what to do." Xia Zixi patted her forehead.

"No matter who I am, I am still your good friend Tong Nuanwan. The bond between us is stronger than love. I can give up everything for you."

"No, no, no, if your Master Li hears it, he'll think I'm trying to alienate you and your wife."

"What's the matter with Mr. Li or not? Maybe we won't have any relationship soon."

Xia Zixi peeled a banana and handed it to Tong Nuanwan.

"No, I really want to be the best friend of Young Madam Li."

"Zixi, do you think Mr. Li and I are a good match?"

"How can you not be a match? You like him and he likes you, you two are a perfect match."

"But marriage cannot be just about love. There are many other things to be resolved. For example, our mutual understanding. When he comes home from get off work, he talks to me about stocks and funds. When I come home from get off work, I talk to him about how much cabbage and potatoes cost per pound. We are both listening to nonsense. How can we live together?"

"Also, you see some wives of wealthy families talking about cocktail parties, formal wear, or family business, I know nothing about that. What if someone asks him at a dinner party, 'Mr. Li, what is your wife's family's main business?' Should he just say, 'My wife is the warehouse manager of the North City Library?'"

"I'm telling you this. If Mr. Li and I really have a future, with my abilities, I will definitely stay at home. No rich wife would go to look after a warehouse. I'll be a canary in a golden cage. I like a free life. I married him in the first place so that I wouldn't feel cramped at home. Now I'm sending myself to jail."

Xia Zixi took off her shoes, sat cross-legged on the hospital bed, holding an apple in her hand.

"Wanwan, you've given me so many reasons for not being with Mr. Li, but not a single one of them is because you don't like him. Since you love each other, why don't you be together? And there's no mistress between you. The only person standing in your way now is yourself. As long as you open up your heart, you can be together."

"I know, but I can't bear the thought of the days ahead. Zixi, I will be locked up and will never see the sun outside again in my life."

"What are you talking about? Why did Mr. Li lock you up? It's true that wives of wealthy families don't work, but you can write novels. You have plenty of time to write novels. If you become a great writer in the future, you will be a wealthy family. You should know Xingyao's sister-in-law. She was born a commoner, but now she is an editor at Beicheng Publishing House. She worked hard before and after marriage."

"Wanwan, there is a saying that people who love each other will stand in your future. You two love each other so much, Mr. Li will think about you."
