521 Jealous Of Ying Jie? (1/2)
Even if Darren couldn't see her face, he was certain she was lying. To some extent she indeed was lying. The past always brought some unpleasant memories and she couldn't help feeling down. It was inevitable. She couldn't just pretend like it never happened.
But she was not lying that it could only shake her. She had experienced it herself. From the time she saw Liu Nuan or Zhou Jinhai, both only came as a surprise to her. She didn't feel anything prickling her heart. And talking or thinking about Han Bohai could only bring a smile to her face.
Also, she knew the reason why Liu Nuan's face or Zhou Jinhai's presence didn't hurt was this man right before her. Darren had given her everything she lacked previously. Attention, care, tenderness, kindness, time, trust, and most importantly love. The things that can hurt us are the things we lack or can't achieve, but Xiu already felt like her life was complete with Darren's presence. And it was honestly enough to her.
Even when Darren knew she was lying, he didn't comment. Instead, he questioned, ”If you're done with your Q\u0026A session, can you free me now?”
Xiu scratched her head as she said, ”I think I had something else to ask as well. I can't remember what it was. Argh! How am I so dumb around you?!”
Darren chuckled at her as he added, ”There is no doubt that you act a little silly sometimes. Anyways, you can ask it whenever you remember it. For now, please free my hands or at least remove this blindfold!”
”Not happening. If you can, do it yourself,” challenged Xiu with a bit of a temper because of the way he agreed on calling her silly. If she was calling herself dumb, he should deny it!
”Okay.”
Xiu was dumbfounded because she didn't expect this reaction. Before she could make sense of what he meant, he lifted his upper body up and within seconds his hands were free before taking off his blindfold. Since the room was dim-lit with candles, it didn't take long for him to adjust his vision.
As he dangled the handcuffs before her eyes, she was left gaping at him in disbelief. ”How did you do that? Ah!”
Darren rolled her over making her yelp. With his knees on either side of her body, he pinned her hands above her head and used the same handcuffs on her. Xiu's eyes widened even more in shock. Wasn't she the one playing? How did the game change? What happened?!
”If you could free yourself why didn't you?” fumed Xiu at him.
Darren slid the shirt off his shoulders easily because she had already unbuttoned it. His face leaned down to tease her as he replied, ”I could do it but you wanted to play. How can I deny you of anything?”
Xiu puffed up her cheeks unhappily. she was only pretending to be unhappy. Inwardly, she was delighted to hear that he had been playing along until she told him to take it off himself. He really had a way to attack her heart out of nowhere.
”Eeeehh...”
