Chapter 224 - Troublesome Fun (1/2)

Not just one or two, plenty of people saw Xiu getting off of a Mercedes. So, it wasn't a surprise that the news managed to reach Dylan as well. That's why when Xiu entered his office to drop off a file, his words were, ”I heard your boyfriend dropped you off today.”

”Who said that?” retorted Xiu in a nonchalant manner.

”Everyone,” replied Dylan before adding, ”Apparently your name is trending all throughout the company.”

”When did you start listening to gossips?” questioned Xiu wiggling her brows at him questioningly.

”I only paid attention when I heard that you came with your boyfriend. That keyword 'boyfriend' was enough to catch my attention,” said Dylan calmly.

”But I didn't come with my boyfriend,” answered Xiu looking at Dylan with gleaming eyes.

”Then who gave you the ride?” asked Dylan with squinted eyes. This was the first time he was so interested in Xiu's personal life and that was only because his best friend was involved in one way or another.

”I came with my loverrr...” Xiu rolled that 'r' with her tongue unnecessarily just to get on Dylan's nerves.

”Now I know why you make such a good couple with Daz,” said Dylan as a line appeared between his brows. Xiu's eyebrow rose as she looked at him. ”You both love to play with my feelings by shoving your love in my face.”

”It's not our fault that you're a still single dog,” said Xiu making Dylan fume with anger.

”Do you really have to bring that up?” he questioned.

Xiu took a seat before his table, placed her arms on the table saying, ”I think we had decided to be civil with each other for Regan. Remember?”

”I remember very well but you taunting me for being a single dog isn't nice. Not from any angle,” Dylan said his piece as he studied her expressions carefully. ”That means you're the one who is not being civil here.”

”Aiyo! Don't be so sensitive. Just being civil is not enough. That's why I'm trying to be friends with you and what better way there is to be a friend than actually teasing each other?” Her mouth curved into a smile that appeared too crafty to Dylan.

”So that means I can tease you about Darren's first love?”

Xiu gave him a fake smile saying, ”Dear Didi, roses are red, violets are blue but blood is also red and it'll appear when I'll kill you.” Only after saying those words, she realized that Darren's first love was also her. But that fact wasn't known to Dylan. Why was she being so hyper then? She inwardly facepalmed herself for being jealous of her own self again.

”See! You're still looking for trouble!” Dylan complained like a kid with a pouty face making Xiu smile for some reason. ”What are you smiling about?”

Xiu shook her head saying, ”It's the first time I think I find you really adorable. That pout really suits you.”

Dylan didn't mind her words as he said, ”My mom also says that.” Then he smiled and added, ”Well, I'm adorable anyway.”

”You're the first man who is looking so c.o.c.ky being called adorable,” said Xiu looking baffled at him.

”I only like it when my mom calls me adorable. The rest can't do so,” told Dylan as if he was sharing about himself with a friend. Without realizing it, he really was feeling like he wasn't as annoyed by Xiu as he was before.
