Chapter 206 - Loved You Longer (2/2)

Darren patted her head and said, ”Not as beautiful as you are. But you're definitely making it look better.”

Xiu's face scrunched up as she said, ”Smart eh?”

”That I sure am. Now tell me what do you want to eat?” asked Darren as he took her hand in his own and started walking towards the door.

Xiu tapped her finger on her chin in a thoughtful way before saying, ”I don't know. I'm fine with anything.”

Darren tsked at her as he said, ”I knew you'd say that.” They were waiting for the elevator when he asked, ”Oh, I just realized that Nora wasn't home.”

”Took you long enough,” said Xiu and added, ”Anyways, she went home last night. I don't think she'd be coming this week.”

”Why?” Darren showed curiosity unknowingly since he was planning on talking to Nora about Xin Xiaosi. He had to make somethings clear.

”Her nanny is coming to An City and since she had been very attached to her, I don't think she'll leave her side,” replied Xiu without paying any attention to Darren's curiosity.

Just when the elevator's door opened and Darren took a step, his hand was pulled back and when he looked at Xiu, she was staring at him weirdly. ”I forgot earlier...” he raised his brows at her and she continued, ”Where did that magical c_o_n_d_o_m come from? Were you carrying it all this time?”

Darren choked on his own saliva as he started coughing. Now it was her turn to laugh at his reaction. Darren pulled her inside the elevator first and then replied, ”After what you pulled on me on Friday night, I knew you'd not back off. And I also knew that I didn't have as much self-restraint to say no again. So, I decided to play safe.”

”So, you already knew that I was gonna do something and you're gonna lose?” Xiu was amused by his answer.

”You looked like a broken doll when I pulled away last time. And I didn't want to see that disappointment in your eyes again,” replied Darren while cupping her face in his hands.

Xiu leaned into his touch and said, ”I wish you had noticed my presence sooner.” Darren's brows knitted up and she elaborated, ”I could have loved you longer.”

Although Darren thought she was referring to the present, only Xiu knew that she was referring to the past instead. Because only she knew that even before she noticed Zhou Jinhai's presence, that mysterious Mr. Champion of hers had already taken a place in her heart.
