441 My Husband (1/2)

”You really are not gonna tell me anything?”

Ying's hand paused as she was about to press the elevator button. She knew what Xiu was asking but even she wasn't certain herself about who Destiny's father was. She couldn't blindly shoot the arrow in the darkness. Even if she had her own hunch, she wasn't gonna tell Xiu anything until she was certain about everything. She looked back at Xiu's face and sighed heavily.

”Sighing takes three seconds off your life,” said Xiu innocently.

Ying sighed again on purpose, ”I'll let you know when I'm certain myself.”

Xiu contemplated over Ying's words. If she got to know about Destiny's father now, she really didn't know what she was supposed to feel. It wasn't her father but it was someone Destiny wanted to find. The only problem was Xiu hadn't read Destiny's letters yet and didn't know what exactly her feelings were about her father. So, after much thinking, she decided to nod her head.

”You better not hide anything from me,” warned Xiu.

”I won't,” said Ying as she entered the elevator with Xiu.

Since Xiu only received minor injuries from taking a fall, she was discharged after a night at the hospital. Ying brought her home but after taking a shower and getting dressed, she insisted on going to see Darren.

”Why is your boyfriend working over the weekend?” questioned Ying when she parked the car in front of Darren's workplace.

”I don't know,” answered Xiu. ”But I'll find out once I'm inside. Would you like to come?”

”No, thanks,” was Ying's reply.

”You're gonna follow me anyway. So, why not just join me instead?” Ying almost choked on air at Xiu's words. She indeed was gonna follow her but when did this young lady even notice her presence?

”I'll just wait here,” said Ying and Xiu shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly before getting off the car and running towards the office building.

Well, honestly, Xiu didn't notice her presence at all. It was Ying's presence at unexpected places that made Xiu want to take a blind shot. She was only testing Ying with her words but since Ying didn't answer, it proved that she had indeed been following her. Although Xiu didn't know why Ying was following her like a stalker, she didn't care.

As long as the stalker was Ying Jie, Xiu would let her off for anything.

As for why Ying was getting this biased treatment if only Xiu could tell herself.

She also wasn't sure about what Ying's real work was. But she didn't plan on asking her something she was hesitant to talk about. In fact, Xiu could tell that Ying had already shared way more with her than she was supposed to. Whether it was her feelings or her life, Ying really never got angry with Xiu's questions. But that didn't mean Xiu was ready to push her luck.

....

”He didn't ask me to come, I decided to join this overtime on my own,” replied Paige as she got up from her chair and greeted Xiu with a hug.

”Oh my my, such a good assistant you are,” remarked Xiu. ”If only I could have your passion.”

”I heard, you resigned?”
