420 He Was A... (1/2)

Ying was really having a hard time digesting what she just saw. If it continued, who knew how much she'll be able to take in before wanting to strangle herself. Xiu and Darren had just acted normal a while ago but if they really started being romantic in her presence, she certainly won't be surviving that.

They really had no pity for a single soul like hers who was drowning in unrequited love and now had to face this show of lovey-dovey acts.

”Now I know why Regi is diabetic,” she whispered to herself as she nodded her head knowingly.

”Why?” came a voice from right beside her. Ying didn't even bother seeing who it was since she was in her own world.

”Obviously because his girlfriend's name is Sweets... Hahaha. Cough! Cough!” Ying was laughing to herself when she coughed seeing that the person who questioned was none other than Francesca. ”Hi!” she waved her hand trying to act normal.

Francesca looked at Ying suspiciously before voicing out, ”Why are you here?”

”Umm...” Ying tried to come up with an excuse. She really hated it when she had to lie to people close to her but she just had to now. Her eyes sparkled as she thought of something and said, ”I heard from Regi that this residential building is actually very good. So, I was just checking for that unit.”

”You're moving here?” asked Francesca with a frown.

”Yes,” answered Ying happily since she wasn't lying this time around. She had indeed thought of moving close to Xiu's place and luckily, the unit beside Xiu's was empty and she just hadn't checked it yet. It'd be easy for her to play her role as the guardian angel if she was this close to Xiu. And not only that, but she also needed a place to stay.

She neither could go to Xin villa nor did she want to stay in Yan house in An City. And staying with her aunt was not her style and sleeping over at the break room was getting tiring. That was why this was a very convenient choice for her.

Francesca stared at Ying's face for a long while but didn't find anything wrong. So, she believed her words.

”So, when are you moving in?”

”Right now,” answered Ying with a polite smile. Seeing Francesca's reaction she added, ”You know me, I don't need much stuff to move places. Just a pair of clothes and all the necessities.”

”You look suspicious,” said Francesca without holding back.

Ying scratched the side of her face and changed the topic, ”Where are you coming from?”

”I just went down for a walk and sitting in the cool breeze, I lost the track of time,” stated Francesca and Ying nodded.

”Good. I have to run now. Need to pack my bags and get to my new place.”

Ying wanted to run away but Francesca didn't give her a chance as she said, ”When am I getting the housewarming party?”

”A what?”
