Chapter 278 - Still A Bully! (1/2)

Darren had been silently watching the two very precious people in his life having a heart-to-heart for the first time since they met. It actually wasn't as surprising to him as one would think. After all, he was very clear about what Chen Xiu meant to Dylan and he was also very clear what Dylan meant to his Xiu.

The reason why he told Xiu about Dylan being her fanboy was that he really wanted her to understand that even as Chen Xiu, she was never alone. People like Dylan existed who believed in her unconditionally and even were willing to fight for her. It was just that in the storm of slanders those voices of righteousness were muffled leaving the wrong impression that Chen Xiu had really fallen from her throne.

”You're the most beautiful person I have ever seen in my life. Inside and out,” he heard Dylan speak and frowned.

”Really?” Xiu quirked her brows at Dylan.

”Yes, really. I didn't just respect you as Chen Xiu, you really mean a lot to me as you right now as well.” Xiu was a bit surprised to hear him say that. ”You love challenging me, unlike others who always try to act nice and respectful just because I'm their superior. You're not afraid to tell me that I'm wrong. And honestly, I really needed a person like you who would be honest with me.” He glanced at Darren as he added, ”Unlike a certain someone.”

Taking a step forward, Darren pulled his Sweets back and said, ”As much as I appreciate you both acting like long lost friends. I really don't want you to instigate my wife against me now.”

Dylan's face twitched as he wiped his tears and breathed, ”Wi-Wife?”

Xiu also looked up at Darren's face in surprise and smiled through her teary eyes. She felt a sudden gush of happiness and euphoria inside her heart. She really wanted to question him why and how could he say such a thing with such a calming tone? While her heart would turn into a mess, he'd still be standing as if nothing happened.

Darren held Xiu's waist tightly as he reckoned that, ”Even if we are still not officially married, that doesn't mean I can't claim her as my wife. She is mine and that won't change.”

Dylan smiled softly and sighed out, ”Indeed, she's really yours now. I guess your tears and heartache managed to knock on the doors of heaven and brought her back to you. Just for you.” He rubbed his jaw as he added, ”Or perhaps, this was heaven's way of repaying your kindness. Mysterious and yet fascinating. Isn't it?”

Darren grinned at Xiu. ”I don't know how you got back to me but...” he pinched her nose softly and continued, ”This time, I'm not willing to let you go. I won't even let anyone steal you from me. This time, you'll be mine and only mine. I'll make sure of that.”

Xiu nodded her head in response but didn't say anything from her mouth. She really didn't trust her voice at this time. She certainly knew that she was gonna bawl her eyes out if she even tried to speak up and that would be really unladylike! But she could also see his utmost sincerity in those words and that was enough for her. Because she was willing to let him feel her sincerity, after all, words were actually nothing between them.

Dylan rubbed his eyes as he suggested, ”What are you waiting for then? Just ask and she'll be yours.” He really didn't know why he asked that. But seeing them together, he felt like it had been ages since these two were meant to be together and yet they were not making it official?
