657 Not Another Lifetime (2/2)

That was a weird thought.

So, he ended up asking Ying, ”Ah-Ying, who is Zizi?”

”My godfather,” answered Ying with a straight face.

”You mean you're talking about Mr. Xin Zimen?” Seeing Ying nodding her head, he took a deep breath. ”Isn't it enough that you're the last descendant of the Su and Yan family? Why do you have to be related to Xin Clan in such a way?”

Ying's lips curled up, ”My superstar boyfriend, I'm not related to Xin Clan. I'm only related to Xin Zimen and he had long stopped being a part of the clan.”

”So, it's just as my uncle says, big shot clans, all have internal trifles.”

Ying shook her head at him, ”It's more like, every family has its own scars.”

He stayed quiet for a long while before saying, ”I wonder why is that so...”

On Xiu's side...

Xiu was trying to contemplate over the possibilities of why Ah-Xin wasn't letting Ying Jie in. She didn't know whom she was eager to see though. Whether it was Ying or Han Bohai. It was a question worth discussing but she'd rather not do so for now.

”You know, dear wifey, even if you tell him to kidnap Ying, he won't be able to do so,” whispered Darren near Xiu's ear as his hot breath hit her earlobe. Xiu raised her brow at him, challengingly. ”I'm telling the truth. Ying isn't that simple. He might even get hurt in the process.”

Xiu smirked at him in reply as she said, ”I guess you really underestimate my Xiao Bobo.”

”What do you mean?”

Xiu's eyes flashed with a cunning light as she went on, ”Ying Jie is awesome, no doubt. But Ying Jie is very straightforward. In fact, you can call her very simple.”

”Simple? I've never heard anyone define Ying as simple,” said Darren.

”I have a reason to call her simple. She is very obvious. You can easily tell that she'd be either playing a mind game or a violent game but Xiao Bobo isn't like that. He is very tricky. He can easily capture Ying Jie in his web of words in a way that even Ying Jie would be left confused about what happened with her.” She took a pause to add, ”And that I can bet on with my life.”

”Okay. Let's not bet on life. Your life is very precious to me.” He frowned before rephrasing, ”I mean to say my life is very dear to me. And as you should know that you're my life.”

”You never get tired of saying this, do you?” retorted Xiu.

”Wouldn't wanna waste another lifetime,” replied Darren leaving Xiu speechless.
