Chapter 193 - Flower Of Mine (2/2)

”No one...?” said Xiu uncertainly.

Darren eyed her suspiciously before he picked up a flower pot from the floor and offered it to her saying, ”Thanks for the breakfast. This is me showing my gratitude by offering you my most treasured viola plant.”

Xiu looked at the flower pot and said, ”So, these tiny purple blooms are violet flowers?” Darren nodded and she went on, ”Cool. But would you mind telling me what's your obsession with flowers?”

”Who said I'm obsessed with flowers?” asked Darren.

”Well, you have been giving me flowers for a while now, I really can't understand your obsession with it,” said Xiu with a complaining tone.

”You'll understand my obsession if you focus on the details,” replied Darren with a mischievous glint in his eyes. He ruffled her hair playfully and went on, ”Take good care of my flower.” He tapped her nose in such a way that Xiu thought when he said 'my flower', he definitely wasn't referring to the flowers in her hand.

”I will take of your flower,” said Xiu while hugging the flower pot close to her body.

Darren sighed out as he said, ”But I was talking about...” he planted a kiss on her forehead softly and added, ”This flower of mine.”

Xiu really didn't want to blush at this moment. She was over the age of being all shy and blushy-blushy but apparently, she couldn't control herself at all. Seeing her bright red ears, Darren chuckled amusingly and rubbed her earlobes saying, ”This color really suits you.”

Xiu hit his chest and pushed him away slightly. ”Stop doing that.” She placed her cold hand on her hot cheeks to calm herself while he continued to laugh at her reaction. ”This is not fair. You're making fun of me now. Who does that to a girlfriend?”

”I do,” said Darren calmly and when she glared at him, he straightened up. ”Won't do it again, M'lady. Anything else?”

”Nothing. Go back now,” Xiu pushed him towards his apartment's door.

Darren scratched his forehead in confusion and said, ”Why do I feel like you're trying to get rid of me today? You didn't even invite me inside. That's really strange and... Suspicious.” When Xiu avoided his eyes, he added, ”Oh, are you hiding another lover inside?”

”No, I am not!” Xiu almost shrieked out at this insinuation.

Darren chuckled at her reaction and said, ”Easy there. I was just kidding.”

”But that's not a nice joke.”

When Darren and Xiu both heard that voice, they both looked surprised for their own reasons. Xiu for being caught and Darren for having an evesdropper who had been listening to them.
