Chapter 144 - Did you just wink? (1/2)

...

They were staring into each others eyes, their breath heavy from the intense makeout session, when suddenly, they heard the familiar sound of the phone.

'DING'

Reluctantly, DX pulled back to check on his phone, but not before he cursed at the tone.

"I barely got time for a date with you since I came back. I swear, if this is Han Ye, I would kill him." DX murmured before looking at his phone.

When Kai Xin heard him, she laughed a little, "Stop picking on him!"

"It's not mine."

Kai Xin rummaged through her bag to look for her phone.

When she found it and saw the message from her brother, she quickly put the phone back. Her smile earlier was replaced by a frown.

Sensing her displeasure, DX asked her if everything is fine. Kai Xin shrugged and looked out the window. After a while, she answered,

"My father is here. He wants to have a dinner tonight."

Knowing that the relationship between the father and daughter was tense, DX did not say anything.

He waited for her to add on. It was unusual for her to be this upset because of her father alone.

"She is here too."

"His wife?" asked DX as he took her hand in his.

"I think so, but I'm talking about An Xin."

DX nodded, fully understood now.

Even though An Qi Yan encouraged Kai Xin and her brother to maintain a good relationship with their father and his new family, Kai Xin was unable to accept her younger sister.

She never told him the reason why she disliked her younger sister but he knew that the latter probably deserved it.

"What did Kai An said?" asked DX.

"He said Mum told us to go."

She covered her eyes with the back of her arm as she groaned, "This is annoying. I was having such a great time!"

He pulled her hand away from her face and told her not go if she did not want to go.

"I can't. I can bail on my father and his family, but..." said Kai Xin with a heavy heart.

She glanced at him before continuing, "...Nai Nai (Grandma) is here as well."

"Your grandmother is back?"

DX recalled that she told him before that Grandma Zhen was staying at London with her eldest son and his family.

She nodded, "She arrived last night."

"So, what do you want to do now?"

"I have to go. I haven't seen her in two years."
