314 Grant A Wish (2/2)
Xiu glared at him for telling this to everyone while everyone chuckled at his words. ”That's a very sneaky way to say that she doesn't want anyone else to look at you,” said Dylan while looking at Xiu whose face was getting red now from this uncalled embarrassment.
”It's her right to do so,” finally Zhao Wei chose to join this lively conversation as she went on, ”She cares about him so much that even now, she didn't forget to make the Caprese Chicken Lasagna for Regan.”
Xiu had only made it because Darren wasn't really fond of Chinese food. He could eat it but it wasn't his favorite though. So, she decided to just whip up something that he could eat with delight, and it was Dylan's suggestion to make the Chicken Lasagna. But now when she looked at Dylan munching on the lasagna, she suddenly thought that he wasn't thinking of Darren when he suggested her to make lasagna.
”Wei Ma, that's because my Sweets can't possibly forget me,” said Darren with a sickly sweet smile on his face directed towards her. ”I'm always on her mind.”
”Show-off!”
”Narcissist!”
Both the remarks came from Ying and Dylan simultaneously. However, Darren didn't care about them acting like idiots as he said, ”Well, I'm a show-off and a narcissist. Who wouldn't be if they have the most amazing life partner?”
”I suddenly don't feel like talking to him,” said Dylan as he went back to concentrating on food.
”Everything is well and good but why are you all being so stingy all of a sudden?” began Ying as she looked at these old people. ”All talk and no action is no good. The little girl did so much to impress this crazy family, shouldn't you be rewarding her?”
When Ying brought this up, they all shared a look. ”Right, what do you want Xiu?” Zhao Wei was the one who asked.
Dylan finally looked up and said, ”Oi! I also helped. Where is my reward?”
”This is not about you, Didi!” Zhao Wei warned her son.
Noticing all the eyes on herself, Xiu was flustered. They were really serious about this reward thingy? Xiu didn't know what to say to that. But she held Darren's arm and answered, ”I have everything I always wanted sitting right beside me.”
”Aww... That's so sweet!” said Zhao Wei.
”Yuck!” was Dylan's response. ”You really know how to rub it in.”
Xiu glared at him for his stupid remark and so did the other people at the table.
”Sweets is absolutely right. There is no need for any formalities here,” agreed Darren with his girlfriend as if that was not already expected.
”Very well then...” began Xin Zimen before he looked at her and added, ”Then how about you grant us a wish instead?”
”What can I possibly offer you, weird uncle no 2?” she was holding back her laughter when she said that.
Xin Zimen looked at people around him and said, ”If you don't mind this crazy family, how about being a part of it?”
Xiu was left stunned.
