554 Mr. Salvays Mrs. Salvay (1/2)
”Surprise?” questioned Darren in shock.
Xiu held his hand and tiptoed to lean close to his ear as she said, ”Happy Birthday, Mr. Salvay!”
”You remembered?”
”I'm dense but not to that point,” said Xiu. ”Besides, it's my fiance's birthday, how can I not remember it? Just because you didn't talk about it last night, do you think I forgot as well? Not at all!” She hugged him tightly as she went on, ”I was very confused about what gift to give you. But last night when you proposed, everything cleared up in my mind.”
She pulled away slightly to look at his disbelieving expressions as she added, ”So, my gift to Mr. Salvay is Mrs. Salvay. How's that?” She wiggled her brows at him. ”My Mr. Salvay lacks nothing except for his Mrs. Salvay. But fear not! Here I am!”
”You're gifting yourself to me?” Darren's voice was soft but one could clearly see his excitement in his eyes that never left her face.
Xiu nodded her head, ”Yes, yes! I'm gifting myself to you. Now, no need to thank me though.”
Darren chuckled while rubbing her head affectionately. He looked at the 'Civil Affairs Bureau' and pursed his lips before asking, ”But are you sure you want...”
He hadn't even completed his words when Xiu placed her hand over his mouth saying, ”Regan, my Baobei, stop doubting your Sweets.”
”But I want to give you a grand wedding like a fairytale,” said Darren.
”I won't say anything about that. Because we are just getting our wedding certificates today. You can organize the wedding however you like, I won't say anything about it.” She held his hands in her own as she added, ”But I do wish to get the wedding certificates today. I don't think there is any better day than today or any better time than now.”
”You chose this day because it's my birthday?” asked Darren.
”Yes,” answered Xiu.
”I am not very fond of this day,” said Darren honestly. ”This is the same day I was abandoned by my own...”
Xiu caressed the side of his face as she said, ”Since this is the day she chose to leave this hand.” Xiu intertwined her fingers with his as she went on, ”I want to hold this hand on this very same day.”
Darren had indescribable feelings whirling through his eyes as he looked at her face beaming.
”Are you really hesitating?” Xiu felt anxious seeing him so quiet. ”You really don't want to marry me.”
”Silly! When did I say that?” He poked her head.
”Then why are you not walking ahead. Let's get the marriage certificates already. I can't wait any longer!”
”Are you really that excited?”
”Is there still some doubt?” questioned Xiu disapprovingly.
”No, I'm just not able to process this sudden happiness. Maybe I'm not able to contain it. Or I think I'm having some difficulty in believing it.”
