514 My Father (1/2)
But even when Darren noticed that everyone was looking at them, he wasn't fazed. Embarrassment? No way! Why would he be ashamed of hugging his Sweets? He barely managed to hold her in his arms after two weeks. It was torture all along. And now that she came all the way here to see him, and was in his reach, how was he supposed to keep his hands to himself?
”Mr. Salvay, how about introducing this young lady?” Someone from the group around him suggested.
Darren pulled Xiu in his embrace before he pointed at the group of people and one by one introduced them to Xiu. Because of seniority, he had to introduce those old people first before he presented, ”And this is my Airen[1].”
Xiu couldn't help looking up into his eyes while he lowered his head slightly to look back reassuringly. Xiu felt like her heart was gonna burst up. This man really knew how to melt her heart, no, even her soul with his simple words.
Although introducing her as his 'Airen' seemed very normal at this point, they were still surrounded by business moguls, not by family. So, it had an even better effect at touching her heart. Her mouth felt like it was filled with sweets and ironically, he was the one talking sweet here. So, did it mean he was feeding her sweet words?
The group of people around Darren grew large considerably as everyone was curious to find out the identity of this young lady who ran inside without even caring about the place or occasion.
”When did you get married?”
”Why haven't we heard about it?”
”Mr. Salvay is really low-key even when it comes to hiding his gorgeous wife.”
Xiu didn't pay attention to any of these words. And she really wasn't all that interested until...
”Oh, I didn't know Mr. Salvay is already married. I was about to introduce you to my granddaughter.”
Xiu's eyes darkened as she heard that woman talking nonsense while she stared at Xiu with visible disdain. Xiu could understand the meaning of her look. She had faced many of those in her previous. The only difference was back then, she wanted to fit into that circle, this time, she didn't even give a damn about their opinions.
What mattered was that Darren's hand had been wantonly rubbing her waist while he smiled at her and said, ”I appreciate your concern, Mrs. Yin but fate brings people together from afar.” He really used that proverb to high-key emphasize that he was just meant for his Sweets. And no other person was allowed between them.
Smart people could hear the dark tone of Darren's even though he sounded very polite. And only a blind won't be able to see the doting look on his face when he looked at Xiu.
Another person laughed softly as he said, ”No wonder, Mr. Salvay was looking out of sort all this evening. It seems you're missing your wife.”
The old man was not bothered at all as he said, ”Yes, it's young love. Enjoy while it lasts. Soon, she'll be nagging like my wife.”
