”Okay, this sister-in-law is very kind-hearted. I'll teach you myself, good boy...”

This time Darren really lost it. Wasn't it enough that Dylan was acting like an attention seeker? Why was his girl falling for it? This was a trap!

Before he could say anything, he heard Dylan's hushed voice, ”Now do you know who is sick of living?” He chuckled softly before adding, ”Should I tell her that you think she is sick of living that's why she shoved me into the kitchen?”

”DYLAN!” Darren yelled out his name which he very rarely did. ”You bloody bastard! Why are you with my wife?”

Dylan didn't reply, he was busy enjoying his best friend's reaction. So what if he couldn't see Darren's expressions? His furious voice was enough to tell the tale.

Seeing Dylan's smile, Xiu frowned and called for him, ”Oi! Stop smiling like an idiot. Come, I'll help you.”

”Yes, boss!” said Dylan without any hesitation as he walked up to Xiu's side who was showing him how to do his work.

”Didi, did you bring my girl to a luncheon today?” asked Darren as he recalled the original purpose of this call.

”Mhmm...” came a reply from Dylan who didn't let Xiu know that he wasn't humming to her but rather annoying his best friend. Technology never seemed this appealing to him as it did today. After all, he had his Airpods in his ear and nobody could tell whether he was on call or not.

Darren clenched his fists and looked at his other best friend sitting beside him as if saying, 'I told you he's single.' While Cali disregarded his told-you-so look, he turned back to the phone, ”Did you bring her home after that?”

”Mhmm...” answered Dylan again with a smile making Darren want to get in the phone to punch his face now.

Cali had to pinch his arm to get his attention back. Because from his face, she could clearly tell that Darren was this close to beating his best friend who was having fun teasing him.

Darren finally calmed himself and said, ”Give the phone to my Sweets. I don't even wanna talk to you right now.”

Dylan scrunched up his face and wanted to say something but decided against it. He could feel the dangerous and possessive aura of Darren even through the phone. It was better not to tease him anymore. This much was apparently his limit after this even Dylan knew that Darren wasn't gonna let him be.

”Okay...” muttered Dylan softly before pulling out his phone from the pocket and offering it Xiu. ”Your man is going crazy. Talk to him.”

Xiu scoffed, ”You think I'll fall for this again? You already have used my baby's name twice today. I won't be fooled again.”

Dylan wanted to laugh at her reaction but he held himself back. He put the phone on the speaker and said, ”Dazi, your girl has trust issues. Say something.”

Xiu's eyes widened not in surprise but in happiness. With sparkling eyes, she almost jumped to snatch the phone from Dylan's hand.

”Baby, you're awake? Did you get a good sleep? How are you feeling now? Not tired anymore now, right?” She didn't take a breath as she kept talking about anything and everything, ”I miss you a lot. I was gonna come to your place but Dylan said you'd be sleeping since you're exhausted. I didn't think it was a good idea to disturb you so, I chose not to go. Baby, do you miss your Sweets? Of course, you do. That was such a useless question.”

Dylan rolled his eyes at her as he muttered, ”Let him speak first. Maybe he didn't miss you as you claim.”
