301 Weird Uncles (1/2)

Xiu was looking at those gentle eyes with a frown. She didn't know why but she felt like an invisible pull was there. Or something that took her towards them without her knowing it. She silently and obediently sat before them which really wasn't like her.

She might have not known both Qiu Jiayi or Xin Zimen but she wasn't a fool who didn't know what their names represented in their society. Therefore, in her mind, both of them were mysterious men who owned the power to own anything. She knew they had the capability to possess anything. But somehow she couldn't feel their intimidation at all.

All that greeted her was curiosity and a comfortable aura. She felt really comfortable in their presence as if there was no worry in this world and even if there was someone would protect her. She placed her hand over her chest, that was a weird thought in her opinion. Why would her heart feel at ease before them? She didn't even know them.

”I told you, she's adorable!”

Her trance broke when she heard one of them say.

”Her eyes are so clear and serene. Either she has faced all the storms of life or she has learned to hide them,” stated Xin Zimen.

”But that line between her brows,” said Qiu Jiayi.

”I know, it seems like she's hiding some sadness within her heart.”

Xiu's heart shook at their comments. She touched her face as she wondered, ”Was something wrong with her face? How could they read me like an open book?”

”Mr. Qiu and Mr. Xin, you both do realize that I'm sitting right here,” she ended up saying.

Both of them raised their brows to show their displeasure. ”You're Regan's girlfriend. Did he mention us to you?”

Xiu thought about it before nodding, ”You both are like the only fatherly figures in his life.” Isn't that why she was being so cautious around them? She might not know them but she knew how much Darren respected both of them.

”Exactly! That's why you should not be calling us Mr. Qiu and Mr. Xin. The family shouldn't be so distant,” said Qiu Jiayi taking Xiu by surprise. ”You can call me uncle Yi if you want. As for him...” He looked at his best friend and shrugged, ”You can call him whatever you want.”

Xin Zimen glared at his best friend, ”Don't listen to him. He has a habit of babbling for no reason. Regan calls me Uncle Zi, you can do too. Or just Zi. I'm okay with both.”

Xiu scrunched up her face.

”What's wrong?” They both asked in concern.

”You all are really messing with the cliches here,” stressed Xiu as she went on, ”Aren't you both from an aristocrat family?” Both of them nodded. ”Then why aren't you acting like those people?”

”What do you mean?”

They were really confused as to what she was referring to. Were they acting strangely? They didn't think so. Then what was she talking about?

”An uncultured, no name girl like you can't take my son!” She imitated a deep voice.

Then changed her position and went back to her original voice, ”But, I love him.”

Back to the deep voice, ”Your love can't bring him success or the respect that he needs to survive in this society. What can your love do?”

”Then I'll say,” she changed her expressions and added, ”My love can bring him happiness. Isn't that what matters the most!”
