330 Anything Can Go Wrong (2/2)
”I'm trying to see if you have a fever...”
Xiu pushed his hand away. ”No, I don't. I'm perfectly fit except for the fact that I'm really sleepy.” She even yawned at the end of her sentence to show that she was really sleepy. However, this fact even Darren could see because of the way her eyes were looking so droopy. No matter how cheery she looked, it wasn't that hard to tell that she was trying to hide her exhaustion behind her energetic performance.
Xiu yawned again making her eyes wet. ”I wanted to but on my way home, my stomach grumbled loudly reminding me that I hadn't eaten anything. That just reminded me that there is a huge possibility that my boyfriend is still buried in work and hadn't eaten as well. So, I took a detour and came right here to you to ask you.” Darren raised his brow as she blinked her eyes. ”Have you eaten your lunch?”
Darren shook his head and even rolled his eyes at her. ”You came all the way here just for that?” Xiu nodded her head without hesitation. ”Sweets, if you're hungry you could have just eaten with Dylan.”
Xiu scowled at his words. ”Oh, please. I just told you my boss is weird. He doesn't eat lunch. Although I don't know why he only has two meals a day, I still don't care and don't wanna know either. I just know that since he's weird and dumb, his reason for not eating lunch is also gonna be dumb like him.”
Darren chuckled at her words since what she said made perfect sense. Dylan's reason for not eating lunch was indeed dumb like him.
Xiu swung his hand from side to side as she said, ”Baby, let's eat something.” She looked at all the files on his table and added, ”I know you're busy, that's why...” she picked up her purse and pulled out a small lunch box saying, ”I especially picked this homemade bento box just for you. Don't ask how I got it though.” She opened the lid and pulled out chopsticks before wiping it with a napkin carefully. ”Now, isn't it convenient? You can work while I'll feed you.”
She jumped off the desk and sat on his thigh. ”Am I not a genius? Perfect wife, right? It gives homey vibes, right? You should get used to it.”
”Hahahaha...”
Xiu was startled when she heard an unfamiliar laugh from behind and looked at Darren who was having a difficult time deciding how to act. Xiu slowly turned around and her eyes widened when she looked at an elegant woman sitting in a corner.
”Don't mind me... You can continue, I won't make a sound now,” said Francesca but couldn't help laughing even more when she saw how Xiu almost slid down Darren's thigh but fortunately his arm was snaked around her waist to hold her up otherwise she was certainly gonna land on her buttock.
Xiu's whole body was stiff as a board now since she just realized that she had been acting like a real nuisance to her boyfriend in his mother's presence! Aiya! That's so not the first meeting I opted for!!! Xiu had the urge to scream at the top of her lungs. In her case, the saying that anything that can go wrong will eventually go wrong fit perfectly well.
