544 Self-Improving Session (2/2)

With an exhausted look on her face, she pulled open the door and immediately straightened up her posture.

”Mr. Zhou!” she called out in a slightly sharp voice than she truly intended. Realizing her mistake, she continued, ”Regan is not here.”

”I'm not looking for my son,” said Zhou Xichen who was looking at Xiu's face with an amiable, soft, and gentle smile.

”Then...” Xiu's thoughts faltered. It took her a minute to process as she said, ”So, you're here to see me?”

”Can't I?”

”That's not what I meant.” Xiu smiled awkwardly at him.

Although Xiu had nothing against Zhou Xichen, his face had way too much resemblance with Zhou Jinhai. Unlike Darren whose face wasn't that similar to his father. In fact, it seemed like Darren had inherited most of his mother's genes.

”So, can this father-in-law invite this daughter-in-law for a cup of tea?”

Xiu's lips parted slightly in disbelief and she nodded in a daze. She was about to step out of the room when he reminded her, ”It's cold outside. You should wear a coat.”

”Are we going out of the hotel?” asked Xiu.

”Yes,” answered Zhou Xichen and Xiu nodded.

”Then let me grab my coat.” She turned around and ran over to take her phone, keycard, and the coat before she went back. ”Okay. Let's go!”

Looking at her spirited self, Zhou Xichen was amused as he said, ”Being young is definitely good.” They had just entered the elevator when he said, ”I didn't expect you to agree so easily to accompany me.”

”Huh? Why not?”

”Don't you have to ask for my son's permission?”

Xiu waved her hand saying, ”Not really. I just informed him and that's enough.”

While they both were walking out of the lobby, he suddenly noticed something as he said, ”Someone is following us.”
