Chapter 136 - I Did. So What? (2/2)

Darren looked straight at Dylan and said, ”I don't care what the whole world says, I care about what my best friend has to say about my girlfriend. Questioning her means you're questioning my choices. I think I made myself clear about that.”

Darren's response not only stunned Dylan but Xiu was equally taken aback. It felt surreal at the way his words interpreted to her as how he and she weren't different.

”Sheesh!” Dylan cursed under his breath. ”For a moment, I forgot that my best friend has a way with words.” He glared at Xiu hatefully as he added, ”Never thought he'd use his eloquence to shut my mouth.”

Darren's phone rang and as he checked the caller id, he looked at Dylan with a warning look as he said, ”Behave yourself, I'll be right back.”

Watching Darren walking to a side, Dylan turned to Xiu and said, ”Just a moment ago, you had a drink in your hand like you're gonna drink the night away. What happened?”

Xiu looked in Darren's direction and replied, ”Now I can just get drunk on his eyes.”

”Eww...” Dylan rubbed his hands over his arms as he cringed and said, ”Say something I can digest. Don't make me cringe with your cheap dialogues from third-rated romance movies.” Xiu growled at him dangerously as she harrumphed in frustration. ”By the way, you were in a pretty bad mood as well.”

Xiu sighed out, ”Again, slow-witted Uncle, that was until I saw my boyfriend. With a big bright halo around him, everyone else looks like the blurred background which is completely unnoteworthy.”

Dylan looked at the way her eyes were sparkling and muttered, ”You're painting him as angel. Even though he's also just a human. A very lost one at that.”

One side of Xiu's lips curled slightly upward as she said, ”Isn't that awesome? He's a human with flaws and so am I. Neither he's perfect nor am I. But who knows, maybe we are perfect for each other.”

Dylan was stunned by her reply. She spoke with such hope and confidence that Dylan who wanted to break her away from his best friend really was left in a dilemma. But that didn't mean that he wasn't gonna tease her.

He pulled out his cellphone and waved the screen before Xiu's eyes saying, ”Look, don't I and my brother look good in one frame?” He was showing her the photo he clicked earlier with Darren. ”He even wore that suit for me. That's how much value I have in his life.”

Xiu was irked by his behavior and that's why when Darren came back and asked, ”What's going on with you two now?”

Xiu extended her hand and said, ”You phone.” Darren frowned but gave his phone to her nonetheless. Xiu held the phone with the camera on and kissed Darren's cheek on purpose before Dylan while clicking the photo. While Darren was taken by surprise, Xiu pulled away and smiled at Dylan while wiggling her brows.

”I think we look much better in one frame,” said Xiu innocently and pleasantly.

”You did not just do that,” was Dylan's reply.

”I did. So what?” Xiu's intimidating response shut him off immediately. ”Dear abandoned wife, can you do anything about it?”
