630 Problem Is The Solution (1/2)

”If you anything happens, call me,” instructed Darren in a tight voice.
Xiu had been nodding her head like a hen pecking at grains for the past five minutes as he constantly filled her brain with instructions.
”Baobei, who else can I call? If something really happens, I'll just run to you.”
Darren knew she was serious so he calmed down a little before leaving for work while Xiu stood at the doorway to see him off. Now that she thought about it, having a house didn't seem that bad of an idea after all. Back at their apartment, she always said bye at the door but now, she could come out to stand beside his car and personally delivered him to the car.
This setting seemed a lot more pleasant now that she thought about it this way. If this was the case, she could really go for house hunting with him soon. In fact, sooner the better!
She went inside to collect her phone from the dining table and looked at Xiao Li who was still busy with his iPad. The wheels of her brain spun and her eyes widened. She ran over to his side and asked, ”Li bro, you didn't ask Ying Jie to be your best man, did you?”
Xiao Li slowly looked up at her peering eyes and answered, ”Why not?”
Xiu's eyes widened as she said, ”Let me warn you... That's not acceptable!”
Xiao Li leaned his back against the chair as he said, ”Isn't it common to ask your best friend to be your best man? I only have one best friend, why can't I ask her to become my best man?”
Xiu placed her hands on his shoulders and shook him with all her strength, ”Li bro, my baseball bat is itching for another show. Don't give me a reason to bring it to your wedding!”
Her warning tone and her glaring eyes amused him as he went on, ”Hmmm... Xiu with her infamous baseball bat... That combination might raise the worth of my wedding day.”
Xiu's lips twitched at his reply, ”I'm very serious right now. How can you even joke about this matter?” She took a deep breath and added, ”If it was a normal wedding, I'd have loved to see Ying Jie as your best man but it isn't. Let's not forget that Ying Jie had spent years loving you. And now, you want her to stand there and be a witness of you happily taking another woman as your wife? Isn't it already cruel enough that she is invited to your wedding?”
