Chapter 310 - Baby Dragon (2/2)
Xiu shook her head saying, ”No. It's not tiring at all. I actually felt so happy doing it.” Darren didn't know what to say. She really looked happy... Genuinely happy... But suddenly she bit her lips in worry and voiced out, ”Do you think everyone will like the food?”
Darren kissed her cheek. ”Yes, Sweets. Everyone will like it. In fact, they'll love it.”
”How are you so sure?” asked Xiu with uncertainty.
Darren massaged her hands as he said, ”Because I know how awesome my Sweets is. Also, they all have already fallen for your charms. After eating this meal, they'll fall for you so deep that they won't find a way out.” His knuckles brushed against her cheek as he added, ”Just like I can't find my way back. But then again, I don't want to.”
Xiu rubbed her forehead. ”Either I'm an idiot or you're too good.”
”Why?”
”Because I actually believed those cheesy words of yours,” answered Xiu making him laugh.
He hugged her tightly as he reassured her, ”I promise they'll be really happy with this meal. Not just because of the taste but also because of the effort and love you put into this one meal.” He kissed her forehead and looked into her eyes, ”Sweets, everyone in this family has a complicated life but every single one of them is a very simple person. You can read their emotions right at their face. And if I say, they already like you a lot. I mean it. If they weren't such amazing people, I'd have really grown up like an orphan.”
Xiu was surprised to hear those words. When Darren first told her that this was his family as well. She really didn't expect that his feelings for this family were actually so deep and strong. But after meeting them one by one, she could actually see why Darren valued them so much. He was right, either it was Zhao Wei, Dylan, Qiu Jiayi or Xin Zimen, all of them made her feel so comfortable that one might end up envying this family.
Seeing her lost in thoughts, Darren rubbed her head and said, ”Stop thinking. This is not just my family now. It is yours. No need to be so cautious around them.”
Damn! She didn't want to cry but he was really making it difficult for her. Why was he so good with words? And why was she so easy to fall for his words?
Xiu managed to hold back her tears even though her eyes were stinging now. She smiled through her tear-filled eyes that she was holding back and said, ”If it's really my family then all the more reason for me to give my best.”
Darren understood her words as he took an apron from the side and put it on saying, ”Tell me what you need, Mademoiselle! I'm at your service.” Xiu giggled at him while he added, ”Anything can be fixed as long as I'm here with you. Right?”
Xiu nodded her head without hesitation. Everything could indeed get better as long as he was with her. So what that her Tangyuan soup was ruined by Dylan. She could just start from scratch. There was nothing to worry about.
