291 Xiao Zi (2/2)
But then again, it wasn't the first time at all. ;
While on the other side of the things... ;
Yan Ying slowly opened her eyes to see that Darren's eyes were closed. She sneakily got off the bed and picked up her phone before tip-toeing her way towards the balcony. She dialed the number and waited for the other person to pick up. ;
”Are you trying to play with me?” came a stern feminine voice. ; ;
”Play? With you? No way!” Yan Ying replied nonchalantly completely disregarding the fact that the other person was serious and angry at the moment. ”Anyways, where are you?” ;
”Atlantis Hotel,” she heard the reply. ;
”Okay. I'll come to you... *Achoo!*” she sneezed because of standing in the cold night breeze barefoot on the marble floor. ”As soon as I get out of here,” finished Yan Ying while rubbing her nose. ;
There was silence at the other end before she heard the other person say, ”Don't you think you should give me an explanation for ditching me?” ;
”At this point whatever I say will sound like an excuse. So, I won't bother,” answered Yan Ying. ;
”Then give me the answer that I came here for...” ; ;
”What do you want to know?” ;
”Did you really found my aunt? If yes, then tell me where she is right now.” ; ;
Yan Ying pursed her lips and contemplated before saying, ”I can't tell. Not now. Let's talk face-to-face about this.” ;
”But...” ;
”And the answer to your question is, yes. I found Carina Novell.” ; ;
With that, she hung up and looked up at the sky before turning around. ; ;
”AH!” ;
Her heart almost jumped out of her chest as she saw Darren standing behind her like a grim reaper. Damn! That look was scary! ;
”What are you doing here?” she pushed him aside and walked back to the bed. ;
”That should be my question,” retorted Darren. ;
”I just had to talk to make a phone call. It's not nice to leave someone waiting for you,” replied Yan Ying languidly shrugging her shoulders. ; ;
Darren stroked his jaw but didn't say anything. He knew whatever he said won't have any effect on this person at all. ;
