”Xiu! You're coming or not?! Why do you girls take so long?!”

Dylan was shouting from outside the house. He had gotten dressed within minutes and yet Xiu was taking her sweet time getting out to join him. He knew she was being intentional. She just wanted him to get late. Because she knew he was eager to see his Cali. Hateful behavior!

”And can you boys be any less impatient?! The world is not ending. Give me a minute!” called out Xiu from inside the house. In fact, she was not intentionally taking long. She had been texting a couple of people about her whereabouts. And those people definitely involved, Darren and Ying. For once, she was trying to be responsible.

While Dylan was impatiently pacing around, he heard someone calling his name, ”Dylan!” He turned to his right and saw Liu Nuan in the front garden beside his own. He wasn't surprised since he already got to know that Zhou Jinhai was the owner of that house than seeing Liu Nuan was no surprise at all. ”How are you?”

Dylan shrugged his shoulders, ”Just peachy.”

”Huihui called me over for wedding shopping. Luckily, I was already in town, or else I would have missed it all.”

Dylan looked at her in a bored manner as he replied, ”Naunnuan, I really am not interested in knowing why my sister called you. She had been pretty close to you, it's no big deal if she called you for her wedding or shopping or whatnot.”

”Actually, she asked me to be her bridesmaid,” said Liu Nuan with a smile.

”Good for you,” retorted Dylan uninterested.

She opened her mouth to say something but a voice from behind her stopped her, ”You can take your cat.” Liu Nuan turned to face her husband who wasn't looking at her. Instead, his eyes were on Dylan. She hummed in reply before walking towards the door not before saying to Dylan, ”I guess we'll see each other often now.”

”Seems like it,” grumbled Dylan to himself. He noticed Zhou Jinhai's thoughtful gaze on him and asked, ”The cat is hers?” Zhou Jinhai nodded his head and Dylan noticed his nose getting red and itchy. Indeed, he was still allergic to cats. ”Why did you let her keep it? Aren't you allergic to cats?”

”She doesn't live with me. I have no concern with what she keeps,” replied Zhou Jinhai as he shoved his hands into his trouser pockets. He didn't go into detail because he didn't think Dylan would be interested in hearing him out.

Dylan was a bit taken aback by his reply. What did he mean by they didn't live together? But they were still married. He definitely didn't hear anything about separation or divorce between them.

”Anyways, you're really gonna be thick-skinned? Pay me for the damage you did! That was a Tang Dynasty's vase. It's one of a kind!”

Dylan looked away saying, ”Ask for the compensation from the cat's owner now. She didn't train her cat well.”

Dylan whipped his head around, ”How do you know that?”
