Chapter 255 - Not So Perfect (1/2)

In the silence of the night, Xiu continued to lay on top of Darren. He was still lying on the thick carpet without any intention to move or let her go. With his one arm was sn.a.k.e.d around her waist, he ran his fingers through her beautiful, smooth hair with the other one. Xiu's head was lying on top of Darren's chest and she could hear his heartbeat changing rhythm.

All of a sudden, Darren thought of something, ”Sweets, how did you enter my apartment?”

Xiu giggled before mumbling against his chest, ”I thought if I'm the key to your heart than I should be the key to your house as well, right?”

”Huh?” Darren was dumbfounded by her response.

Xiu facepalmed herself before she looked at Darren's face and said, ”To explain that, I'll have to rewind a little...”

Going back to the time she ate ice cream with Xiaoli, Ah-Si, and Dylan, Xiu felt really happy but she also felt like something was missing. Her heart knew that the only thing missing at that time was Darren's presence right by her side.

As she thought of Darren, she left the three men alone. She only came back after 10 minutes and seeing her Dylan said, ”Can you stay in one place?” He saw a square box in her hand and frowned, ”What's in the box?”

”Whatever it is, it's not for you,” retorted Xiu while she stuck her tongue at him childishly.

As they settled back in the car, Dylan plugged out his cellphone from charging and turned it on. The moment his phone turned on, it started vibrating over and over again. Dylan felt a sense of trepidation rising in his heart. And when he saw Darren's name in his call log, he almost threw the phone.

”Ms. Bai Xiu, where is your phone?” asked Dylan with a trembling voice.

Xiu who was busy caressing the box in her hand while she smiled like an idiot on her own, turned her head slightly to look at Dylan and answered, ”I don't know.”

”What do you mean you don't know?” screamed Dylan making Xiu flinch back a little.

Xin Xiaoli who had been driving calmly, suddenly pressed the brake and the sudden jerk made Dylan's head hit the seat before him. ”Li bro, why did you stop the car?”

”It's a red signal,” answered Xin Xiaoli before adding, ”Also, don't raise your voice at her.” He looked back to glance at Dylan and continued, ”If she cried, I'll make sure that Auntie Wei gets to know about every single girlfriend of yours in the past three years.”

Dylan gulped visibly but ended up choking on his own saliva as he coughed. ”Bro, do you know how happy I was to know that you came to bail me out? I mean, you never even use your father's name for even your own sake and yet, you used Uncle's influence to get me out of the jail. I was feeling honored and so important. And now, you're giving un-related person like her significance over me?”

”She's neither un-related nor un-relevant,” the answer came from Ah-Si instead and Dylan looked at him in disbelief. ”Bro called her a sister. And if my brother says it, he means it.” Of course, Dylan was aware of that but he didn't know why that person was Xiu of all people now? ”Besides, the reason why we used dad's name to get you out is simple... The court procedure would have taken the time and bro didn't want you to stay in jail for even a second longer.”

Xiu listened to them but she was a bit slow to process their words as she only asked her question when the car had resumed the silence, ”Li bro, how did you use your dad's influence to get us out so fast? Is he acquainted with the higher-ups?”

”He's not acquainted with the higher-ups,” replied Dylan instead of Xin Xiaoli and when Xiu furrowed her brows in confusion, he added, ”Because he is the higher up!”

”Huh?” Xiu was confused.
