Chapter 401 - Real man (2/2)

”Tell me, how could you even say he's the best in the world?” he asked with an ever so serious tone and Hinari was shocked with his question.

Hinari looked at him and when she noticed the rare obvious irritation on his face, somehow, her face immediately brightened and she raised an eyebrow.

”What's this beauty, when did you even become interested with this kind of thing? Are you perhaps j-jealous?” Hinari asked, not answering Zaki's question.

As soon as the last question left Hinari's mouth, Zaki suddenly looked away. Afterwards, he breathed in deeply and the irritation on his face disappeared from existence. His eyes turned calm as usual before he again gazed at her.

”They already left. Let's go.” He said and Hinari could only bite her lip, before she raised her hands and pinched his cheeks again but this time she did it as hard as she could.

”So you're just flattering your aunt when you say you will marry her, huh? When did you even learn to do that kid?” Zaki replied with a raised brow when the boy immediately replied.

”No, I'm saying it because if you really don't want to marry her, I really will.” He added and Zaki felt like thunder suddenly struck him. His eyes were wide as he looked at little Shin.

”No, you can't. You're too young, you can't make a girl wait for you to grow up.” The big man instantly replied with an ever so firm voice.

”I just don't want auntie to be lonely. And besides, aren't you making auntie wait too? I heard you two were already engaged for almost six years now.”
