553 Surprise! (2/2)

Bzzzz...

Francesca looked down at her phone and when she read the message of Xiu, her face bloomed into a huge smile. ”I think I have more to look forward to now.”

....

Xiu woke up early because of their flight. As Darren had promised his mother, he'd never go back on his words. When their flight landed, Xiu was still hopping around, humming a tune with a sweet smile.

Seeing her excitement, Darren was also in a good mood. He even asked his driver to stop at a restaurant and ordered, 'Sweet soup balls, Almond jelly, Dim sums and some other dishes that Xiu loved.'

Seeing the dishes before her, Xiu's smile brightened even more as she said, ”Regan, do you wanna hear something weird?”

”If you're the one talking, how is it possible for it to not be weird?”

Xiu didn't mind his words as she happily told him, ”Last night, I had a dream. I don't often dream about such things but last night, I was actually eating all the things that on the table right now.”

”How amazing!” Darren feigned his surprise while holding back his laughter. He wasn't gonna tell her that she announced her dream last night to him while sleeping. How would he not know that she wanted to eat all this? Seeing how heartily she was wolfing down her food, he said, ”When did you turn into a foodie?”

With her mouth full of Dim sums, she shook her head and chewed hurriedly before swallowing to answer, ”I don't know. I feel like my hunger has gotten bigger lately.” She took a pause to think before adding, ”Do you think at this rate, I'll turn into a fat ball?”

”Do you care?” he questioned.

”Not really,” she answered offhandedly.

”Then eat all you want.”

With his words, Xiu had nothing holding her back. She again focused on eating.

While Darren was paying the bill, she asked his driver to leave the car and go. Since Ben was on vacation, the substitute driver wasn't very familiar with Xiu. However, he still listened to her order since he had been instructed by Ben to not go against the Lady Boss.

When Darren came out to see Xiu behind the steering wheel, he frowned in confusion. Without any question, he sat on the passenger seat and asked, ”What are you planning now?”

”What comes after putting this ring on?” retorted Xiu.

”What?” he asked, not having any clue about which way her mind was working now.

Xiu smiled mysteriously as she answered, ”Let's call it a surprise then.”

As she stepped on the accelerator, she seemed more confident than yesterday. In fact, her posture even exuded a different air. Something was different about her but Darren couldn't tell what.

As far as her surprise went, Darren was speechless when she parked the car and offered her hand to him. ”Why...” Darren felt like he lost his voice. It took him a moment to form his words, ”Why are we at the Civil Affairs Bureau?”

”Surprise!”
