621 Thats A Secre (1/2)

Han Bohai didn't know how it happened but while he was reeling from the impact of memories, the party had shifted locations. As much as he wanted to spend time with Ying alone, he couldn't just drag her away. So, he was stuck with Dylan, Ah-Si, Nora, and Cali who had suddenly decided to have a midnight rendezvous to the nearest food stall.

He really wanted to ask these people what the hell were they thinking? Because they were just at a party, with plenty of food and yet they were now sitting around a plastic table with the sky as their only roof. Also, who would tell him why this food stall was still open after midnight? This was ridiculous but did he care? No, because he got another chance to stick close to his Ah-Ying. How could he complain?

”I don't recall seeing your sister? She is the one who called me and she is the only one I didn't meet. Where is she?” Han Bohai finally decided to ask the question that was bothering him. When he met with Dylan and Ah-Si along with their counterparts, he had expected to see Xiu but he didn't get to see her.

That made Ying's brow quirk up as well, ”Oi! Where did Xiu go? And where is her sticky husband? Did they leave? And that too without telling me?”

Seeing Ying's temper, Ah-Si started, ”Relax! Xiu went to see dad.”

”Zizi? What for?”

”I believe that she went to pull his ears but I'd be okay even if she just managed to put some sense into his brain.”

Ying's eyes narrowed at his words and Ah-Si put a fist before his mouth to cough.

”I mean that she heard about dad's fever and rushed out.”

Ying finally calmed down saying, ”She seems very close to Zizi, so I can understand her concern.”

”Ying Jie, you aren't feeling threatened?” This stupid question obviously came from Dylan.

Ying frowned at him, ”Why would I be feeling threatened?”

”Ying Jie, everyone knows that for Uncle Zi, you're his most favorite daughter. But now someone has eyes on your position in Uncle Zi's heart. Shouldn't you do something about this?”

”The only thing I want to do is zip your lips.” Dylan pressed his lips together immediately. ”I have no reason to feel threatened. I can tell Xiu is becoming very dear to Zizi and I don't blame him for that either. In fact, my Xiu is awesome so it's only right that everyone loves her. Those who don't like her have a hole in their head.”

Dylan's lips twitched, ”I don't have a hole in my brain.”

”I didn't say your name,” replied Ying calmly.

Dylan was frustrated but he couldn't show his frustration. So, he chose to order a lot of food just to vent.

”Doesn't it feel weird?” Everyone's eyes moved to Cali who continued, ”We all are wearing branded clothes and yet, we are sitting on a roadside stall just for a barbeque?”

Nora, ”Xiu loves to eat at such places. So, I'm used to it.”

Ah-Si, ”Back in school, dad had a rule in the family. The three of us often ate such places to learn family bonding and lose our superiority complex.”

Han Bohai, ”It's been a while since I had such a relaxing atmosphere to eat. So, I'm very comfortable.”

Dylan, ”I only care about the food.”

As always Dylan's reply was very Dylan like but it made Cali understand every person at this table. For instance, she could tell that Ying was an adaptable kind of person who could adapt to any situation. Xiu's influence on Nora was very big just like how Ah-Si's family teaching's had a big hold on him. As for Han Bohai, he seemed like someone who wasn't very sociable and lacked real friends. And Dylan... Well, he was just Dylan. As long as he found his source of happiness, it was enough.

”Dylan, I heard you planned a grand proposal for Cali?”

Dylan looked up at Nora and nodded his head proudly, ”It was very grand and very beautiful. The beach was the perfect location.”

Nora snorted, ”No wonder Xiu cursed you for an hour.”

”She cursed me behind my back? Again?”

Ying interjected, ”You should be glad, she only cursed you. If I was there, I'd even throw you into the sea.”
