464 A Gues (2/2)

”I still don't believe you,” was his reply making her frustrated now. ”If you had a boyfriend my dad would know.”

Ying shrugged her shoulders, ”Believe it or not. It's your choice.” Her phone buzzed in her pocket and she fished it out to attend the call.

”Team leader, you're not ditching us again, are you?” came a not so happy voice from the other side.

”Relax, Marky! I'm not ditching you guys. I promised you a meal and I'm on my way for that.”

”We're waiting, get here fast.”

”Don't worry, child! Seeing my generosity, you'll shed tears today.” With that, she hung up the call and saw Xin Xiaoli giving her an odd look. ”What?”

”You're up to no good,” he stated the obvious.

”I'm a good person and I'm always up for the good.” Saying that she stood up and dusted off her clothes before walking over to her car. ”Bye! Call me if you need me!”

.....

On the other side of things...

Xiu was stood frozen with her one hand on the doorknob and the other was still holding her phone. She kept staring at the person standing before her and the person before her, also did the same. He was rooted to the ground with a complicated gaze.

The person before her was none other than Zhou Jinhai. Her... No, Chen Xiu's ex-boyfriend.

And anything belonging to Chen Xiu, she wasn't gonna let it get to her. Not again. The other day, she let his wife affect her but he wasn't gonna do the same. She won't allow that!

He looked different than she remembered him. But only because she had always seen him in prim and proper suits. Right now, he wasn't wearing a suit. He was wearing a casual loose shirt and trousers. His hair was a mess and he looked like he just woke up. He was even wearing slippers.

In fact, she would say his condition wasn't any better than Dylan's. The only difference was she couldn't smell alcohol on him. But then again, she knew he wasn't very fond of drinking.

”Xiu, who is at the door?”

Dylan asked as he came downstairs with a towel around his shoulders. When Xiu didn't reply, he came to stand behind her, ”I'm talking to you.”

Xiu suddenly awakened from a trance as she said, ”You have a guest.”

Dylan looked up and his eyes widened. ”Jinhai? What brought you here?” His eyes slowly shifted towards Xiu unconsciously but he didn't find any expression on her face. She seemed way too indifferent. But he knew how good of an actress she was so he wasn't gonna fall for it.

”I'm going inside,” she said as she turned around and went inside the house leaving Dylan and Zhou Jinhai at the door.

'She must be hurt to see him here,' Dylan thought to himself but apparently he was thinking way too much.
