Chapter 232 - I Promise You (1/2)

Meanwhile, passing through the lounge area with embroidered couches, Xiu's eyes had been wandering around to see the soft ambiance of the restaurant. The flagstone tile floor was as clean as crystal. The delicate live piano was being played to make it even more romantic.

Darren's arm had been around her waist as he was leading her to the table. But they had yet to sit when Darren's phone rang. Xiu noticed how he declined the call and pulled out the chair for her with a sweet smile. As he was about to take his own seat, his phone rang again making him curl his lips in annoyance before he declined the call again.

”You should take the call, it could be urgent,” said Xiu as she noticed his expressions.

”It's Didi and he knows that I'm with you yet he's calling to disturb me for no reason,” said Darren as he ran a hand over his face.

'This boss of mine really knows how to get on my nerves,' wondered Xiu on her own and heard his phone's ring again. She said to Darren, ”You should just take his call. He is a persistent person.”

Darren declined the call yet again saying, ”When I'm with you, nobody should have the same access to me as you do. Not even my best friend.”

This was one of those moments when Xiu could say that she was not just in love with him. She was well and truly smitten. If she could have the eternity with him, she'd really fall into the spell of serenity by just having him by her side. Seeing his face was the only thing she even needed in life at this point.

The scariest part about loving him was that she knew he held the power to make her cry and smile. And that was very dangerous to be held by a person. She didn't know how but she knew that their energies somehow had a unique way to vibrate with each other. His smile was enough to burnish her soul into the beauty that she never knew she possessed.

Darren was passing the menu to Xiu when his phone rang again making him close his eyes in annoyance and anger. But as soon as he saw the caller id, his anger vanished into thin air. Xiu noticed his changing expressions and asked, ”Is everything okay?”

”It's my godmother, I really have to pick this one,” said Darren as he took the call. ”Hey, my dearest beauty Wei! What's up?”

”You didn't pick up Dylan's phone? I asked him to call you but he said you're ignoring his calls. Tell me he is lying,” came Zhao Wei's voice.

Darren's bit his tongue before saying, ”No, he isn't. I really ignored his calls because I'm on dinner with Sweets.”

”Hmm...” he heard Zhao Wei humming on the other side before she said, ”That's wonderful! You should be paying attention to the gorgeous lady with you and not your best friend. I have taught you right!”

Darren chuckled at her words, ”You indeed taught me right.” He took a brief pause before asking, ”But why did you ask Didi to call me? Is everything okay?”

Zhao Wei rolled her eyes at herself for completely forgetting the purpose of this call as she said, ”Oho, look at my memory! I want you to bring your girlfriend over for dinner.”

Darren lifted his eyes to glance at Xiu before saying, ”Like right now?”
