410 Cute, Adorable, Lovable! (2/2)

”Mistress?” Darren repeated with knitted brows.

”That Dylan. He is no better than a mistress to me. But now, you're making your work a mistress between us.” She crossed her arms over her chest and huffed, ”I don't like it.”

Hearing how Xiu referred to Dylan as a 'mistress', Ben lost it. His stiff expression finally cracked and he couldn't help laughing out while Darren's face was left gaping at her in disbelief.

Darren put his iPad at a side and hugged her waist while putting his face on her shoulder, ”Sweets, you really make me speechless sometimes.”

”Did I say something wrong?”

”No. How can my Sweets be wrong? Never!” he spoke with a smile playing on his lips. Gosh! Did he mention that he loved this girl? Even if he did, he wasn't gonna get tired of saying this. He really loved her! He loved her more and more and more every single time.

Xiu was pleased by that answer. She actually had no issue with his work. But she hated it when he was sitting right beside her but gave all his attention to something else. The feeling in her heart at that time wasn't very delightful.

”Sir, we're here,” announced Ben after clearing his throat to get their attention.

Xiu immediately rushed out but seeing how Darren also got down from the car, she raised her brow at him. ”What? I'm gonna come with you,” he answered her unasked question.

Xiu smiled at him weirdly before shaking her head. ”No, you're not.”

”What? Why?” Xiu still shook her head.

”You're gonna get late for work,” she argued back.

”It's only half-past seven. I have plenty of time,” said Darren but Xiu still refused. ”I introduced you to every person I consider family. And yet, you're not even gonna introduce me to everyone?”

The way he pouted almost worked before Xiu her feet down firmly, ”I'm gonna introduce you to everyone officially. But now is not the time.”

”When is gonna be the time?”

Xiu sighed out before she covered her eyes and refused to look into his eyes, ”Stop seducing me with that look. You know I'm a sucker for those eyes. There is no way I can refuse when you look at me like that.”

Darren shook her arm, ”Then why are you not falling for this look now?”

”Because today is really not the day. Nora's issue has gotten both Clara mom and Uncle Jing in a bad mood. I really don't want you to meet them right now.” With her eyes still shut tight, she reached her hands out to touch his face saying, ”Be a good Baobei and don't do this today.”

”Fine,” Darren grumbled and sat back in his car while Xiu turned around but ended up hitting the car. Darren chuckled at her. ”Open your eyes now.”

Xiu opened her eyes and rubbed her forehead before looking back at him with a sheepish grin. ”I'll see you in the evening?” He nodded his head and she smiled brightly before running off.

Darren's eyes were glued to her back as he smiled.
