645 Naughty? (1/2)

Originally, Xin Zimen really thought that his parents would attend the wedding. But when his elder brother came alone, he could only assume that his parents won't be attending the wedding. Either way, he didn't feel good about it.

However, now seeing his parents right before his eyes, he was a little taken aback. He neither was upset with their presence nor was he excited. It was a strange feeling. he couldn't describe.

He was standing stiff as he saw his parents walking up to him and yet greet everyone around him except... Him. And this didn't even surprise him anymore when they walked right past him.

”They haven't changed,” remarked Shania as she looked at Xin Zimen's expressions.

He shook his head saying, ”I'm not even surprised.”

It seemed she wanted to say something else but stopped herself. So, to distract him, she asked, ”Is my granddaughter here?” Xin Zimen shook his head and her brow quirked up, ”When is she coming?”

Xin Zimen's response was a smirk as he said, ”She won't be coming.”

”That's impossible!” No matter what she would never believe that her granddaughter would actually not attend her best friend's wedding. There was no way! She looked suspiciously at Xin Zimen, ”What did you do?”

”Nothing... I'm just saving her from something,” replied Xin Zimen. But seeing her reaction, he added, ”Relax, she'd be here.”

”I suddenly don't want to trust your words,” said Shania before she walked away.

Meanwhile...

Inside the banquet hall, the first person Xiu found was...

”Jackie!”

Seeing her opened arms, little Jackie didn't even hesitate before running into her arms. If it wasn't for seeing his Xiu, why would he even bother to come to this wedding where he barely knew anyone?

As soon as he hugged her, he wrapped his arms around her neck. ”Xiu, you didn't come to see me.”

Xiu rubbed his head, ”I met you at the start of the week. Did you forget, little brother?”

”It's been too long,” grumbled Jackie making Xiu chuckle.

”Oh, then how about going with me after this wedding ends?” asked Xiu and he didn't even think before nodding his head.

”Little brother, aren't you abandoning me way too soon?”

Jackie made a face at Nora saying, ”You're the one who said you'd send me to live with Xiu while mom and dad are not here.”

Nora choked on her words and cleared her throat awkwardly before clarifying, ”That's because I have to go to work and I can't take care of you all the time. But Xiu has all the time in the world for you.”
