623 Best Man (2/2)

Xiao Li smiled seeing her cheerful manner and nodded his head saying, ”That's understandable. My best friend is quite reputable. No one can ever forget a party if she is the host.”

Xiu silently observed his expressions and felt strange. He was neither upset nor angry. She thought he'd a little upset that Ying Jie did such a stint but he was really not affected. Or was he good at hiding like his father?

When the breakfast was placed before her, she hurriedly shifted her attention and solely focused on replenishing her health. She knew those white-coated monsters were gonna draw blood from her vein later on in the hospital. She had to make up for the blood loss earlier.

”Li bro, who is your best man?”

Xiao Li frowned at her sudden question, ”Why are you curious?”

”I want to know because I don't think I heard Nora mentioning anything about Ah-Si being your best man.”

”That's because my brother is not gonna play the role of my best man.”

Xiu was curious now even more than before, ”Then who is it?”

”Take a guess...” he replied with a mysterious smile on his lips.

”How can I guess?” she retorted unhappily. ”You have so many friends.”

”But my best man is someone very close to you,” hinted Xiao Li.

”Huh? The closest to me is my Regan and I know he is not your best man. He won't hide such a thing from me.”

Xiao Li laughed out heartily, ”Think out of the box, kiddo!”

”I'm gonna eat first then. Maybe my brain engines start working again.” She hurriedly finished her bowl of congee and rubbed her tummy in satisfaction.

”So?”

She looked up at him and said, ”It seems like the food wasn't that helpful. My brain is still in deep slumber.”

Xiao Li touched her head saying, ”Don't think so much then. All that energy you gained from food will be lost otherwise.”

”That's exactly what I was thinking,” she agreed without shifting her expression. ”So, how about you save my brain the trouble of thinking and tell me who your best man is? It can't be a secret that you can't share with me.”

”It's not really a secret but it's a surprise,” replied Xiao Li solemnly.

”Ah? Why?”

”Because my best man wants to keep some mystery surrounding him till the wedding.”

”This is so not fun,” grumbled Xiu before picking up the glass of milk and silently gulping it down.
