Chapter 657 - Not Another Lifetime (1/2)

Inside the venue...

It was very easy to tell that Xiu's attention wasn't on the wedding ceremony. She was solely focused on her cellphone. It's not like she was interested in wedding vows and stuff. She didn't even need to pay attention just for the sake of reference.

From Darren's position, he had the perfect view of Xiu's phone screen and that's why he could actually read the conversation going on between Xiu and Han Bohai through texting.

The very first message she sent was, 'Don't tell me you kidnapped my Ying Jie.' And soon followed another message followed with, 'And if you really did. Use this opportunity wisely.'

Darren almost choked as he looked at his wife who was having way too much fun in her own world of making assumptions. Or perhaps, that smile had something to do with the fact that she was talking to her Xiao Bobo. Now, this thought left a sour taste in his mouth. He had to say that he didn't even feel jealous when Xiu was around his own brother but he really felt envious whenever Han Bohai was in the picture.

And if he felt this way when he hadn't even seen Xiu interacting with Han Bohai personally, then one could easily tell how worse it was gonna be for him later on.

Within a minute, Han Bohai's reply also came, 'How to use this opportunity wisely? Any suggestions? I'm open to anything.'

Xiu: 'Aren't you the one trying to seduce her? Why are you asking me for suggestions?'

Han Bohai: 'You said you'll help me.'

Xiu: 'I did say that. But... Today, I want her here.'

Han Bohai: 'We are here.'

Xiu: 'Where?'

She even craned her neck to look around but didn't even catch a glimpse of either Ying or Han Bohai. In fact, she knew very well that these two were supposed to share the same table as her own. But she still looked around just in case but was disappointed.

Xiu: 'I can't see you.'

Han Bohai: 'We are outside the hall. Apparently, we are not allowed inside until the higher-ups say so.'

Xiu: 'Who the bloody hell is this higher up?'

Xiu was fuming in anger when she read his words but when his next reply came, her anger deflated like a balloon.

Han Bohai: 'I'm not sure but Ah-Ying said Zizi doesn't want her to enter yet.'

Xiu stared at 'Zizi' for a long while before she looked up towards the stage at Xin Zimen. As if feeling the intensity of her gaze, Xin Zimen's eyes shifted momentarily towards Xiu. As their eyes met, Xiu's eyes narrowed while Xin Zimen's brows raised in question. They were sitting rather close to the stage so it wasn't difficult for Xin Zimen to tell that Xiu looked like she wanted to say something.

Taking a deep breath, she typed her reply, 'If Ah-Xin says so, we should respect his wishes.'

Han Bohai: 'Oh...'
