Chapter 67 - Something Beautiful (2/2)

Therefore, Darren changed his expression and replied, ”Your mother invited me for dinner.”

”Oh...” Dylan nodded languidly before freezing as if lightning had struck him. He looked at Darren with wide eyes and the latter also looked back but with a look of sedateness.

”You're certainly in trouble, Didi,” he said in an amusing manner and continued, ”Now the real question is...” he looked at Dylan's pale face and went on, ”What did you really do, Young Master Hedi?”

Dylan had a horrified look as he held Darren's arm as if he was his last hope and said, ”Daz, my best friend. My brother from another mother. Be the sun in my dark sky, please!” Darren was not very convinced with this pleading. Of course, Dylan didn't have Xiu's cutesy charms to go along with his acting otherwise, he might have really had a chance here. But was Dylan Qiu going to give up so easily? Certainly not!

”Please, help me this time! Save me from my mother. I should have known that she was up to something when she called me. But I just couldn't read between the lines. She must be furious by now.”

”What exactly did you do this time?” Darren repeated his question with urgency in his voice.

”Well...” Dylan sheepishly backed away and said, ”My blind date rejected me.”

”Oh?” Darren feigned surprise and asked, ”Why am I having difficulty in believing that you had nothing to do with her rejection?”

”Because I really did something,” Dylan jutted in innocently smiling at him. When Darren gestured for him to continue, Dylan narrated the whole story of his blind date. From A to Z, well excluding the name of the girl he used. Dylan knew that Darren was impressed with his E.A's talents and if he had mentioned her name, he was sure that Darren would not help him at all. So, he intentionally chose to skip the name part.

”Will you help me now?” Dylan blinked his eyes at Darren expectantly.

Right at this moment, a booming voice entered his ears making his whole body tremble.

”Qui Hedi! You're so dead this time!”

The voice belonged to his mother dearest and seeing how she had used his Chinese name to call him, he was certainly doomed this time.
