Chapter 137 - They Met Again (2/2)

”I heard that,” said Xiu making him scowl before he shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. Xiu turned to Darren and whispered, ”Boyfriend, do you know these two sitting with us on our table?”

Darren saw the curiosity in Xiu's eyes and answered, ”I knew them once. Not anymore. Now, those two have nothing to do with us.”

Xiu nodded her head but added, ”But that Zhou Jinhai called to look for Dylan last Friday. I thought you guys must be close.” Xiu was just testing the waters to see where this would lead to. She knew she wouldn't get a straightforward answer from Dylan and honestly, she didn't want to waste any more of her brain juices on him.

Darren touched her head and said, ”Don't think too much. Zhou Family's precious young master has nothing to do with us.”

Liu Nuan stood up from her seat and came beside Xiu's chair as she said, ”Hi, I'm Liu Nuan. I have been a very good friend of Darren since we were young.” Saying that she extended her hand towards Xiu.

Honestly speaking, Xiu had only a couple of personal interactions with Liu Nuan as Chen Xiu. It was hard for her to tell whether Liu Nuan was a white lotus or was she genuinely this kind and friendly. But the thing was that Xiu had no plans on finding out this unnecessary information now as Bai Xiu. But out of politeness when she raised her hand to shake with her, Darren held her hand and said, ”Had been. We had been friends in the past. My girlfriend doesn't have to greet you now.”

”You really hold grudges,” said Liu Nuan in a sad tone before she went back to her seat and looked at her own husband whose eyes had been staring blankly in a distance from the time he heard Dylan say 'Xiao Xiu'.

”Xiu, what are you doing here? Our seat is on the bride's side,” Nora's voice broke the stifling atmosphere around Xiu and she looked at her best friend giving her an inquiring look. Nora's eyes fell on Darren and her demeanor changed as she said, ”Ah, no wonder.” She had a look of enlightenment. ”I got it, you want to sit with your boyfriend. But I don't want to be stuck at that table alone between desperate singles. That table is not for me.”

”No hot guy to hook up with?” Xiu asked as if inquiring about the weather.

”Not even one. Only girls with sad stories,” replied Nora honestly. ”And the boys at the table next to mine are typical rich brats that I despise the most.”

”Just sit with us then. Dylan doesn't have a date for tonight anyway,” offered Darren and pointed at the empty seat beside Dylan.

Nora turned her face to look at Dylan and the latter smiled in a mysterious way as he said, ”And they met again...”
