728 Coincidence (1/2)

After hesitating for a while, she spoke up, ”If something's bothering you, you can share it with me. I'm a good listener. And I might be able to help you out as well.” She didn't know why but she wanted to know what was he thinking. He never shared anything with her.

Han Bohai smiled at her and raised his head to kiss her forehead lovingly as he said, ”Are you worried for me?” He was actually pleased to hear this from her. After all, it wasn't every day that Ying showed this much interest in him.

”No,” said Ying as she took a sip of the coffee or more like used the cup to hide her expressions. Sometimes it was dangerous to have him around when he could read her so easily.

He clung to her saying, ”Damn it! If you say it like that, I'll fall for you harder!”

”That doesn't even make sense!” What were they talking about and where was he going? Something was definitely wrong with his brain!

”Have I ever made sense though?”

Ying's lips pressed into a thin line as she couldn't refute that. He indeed never made sense. It was only her who was being trapped in his nonsense each and every time. But she still loved his nonsense. She didn't know about falling head over heels in love with him but her feelings were definitely changing for him.

Maybe that's why she didn't find the idea of spending her life with him, odd. In fact, she found it rather interesting. Because by now, she had come to a conclusion, with him around, life certainly had something to look forward to.

”Nora!” he suddenly called out to Nora who had been trying to distance herself from this pair of lovebirds. She looked up at him inquisitively as he went on, ”How long have you been friends with Xiu?”

”I was fourteen or fifteen maybe,” replied Nora uncertainly.

”Jackie said her name wasn't Xiu before.”

Nora raised her brow but still nodded her head, ”Yeah! She was called Destiny at that time. You can say Xiu is her Chinese name which she came up with for herself.”

”Why Xiu?” he questioned.

”What are you trying to do here?” inquired Ying who had been listening to his sudden round of questions regarding Xiu.

”Didn't you say Xiu is like your sister?” Ying narrowed her eyes but nodded agreeably. ”You also said that she is very important to you. So I thought I should know about her.”

Although there was nothing wrong with his words, however, she didn't know why she didn't buy his words.

”Chen Xiu,” he suggested and Nora snapped her fingers.

”That's right! She had been a huge fan of that actress. That's why she chose the name Xiu for herself.”

”That's it?” he asked. ”I mean, such a simple reason?”

Nora contemplated for a while before she recalled something, ”Now that you mentioned it, there actually is something else.”

”What?” he was trying his best to keep his expressions in check right now but his heart was in a frenzy for some reason even he couldn't understand. What was he even trying to do right now? He didn't know himself!

”She once told me stupor that Chen Xiu gave her a new life. Something about saving her life and how selfless she was. I never understood what she meant.”

Han Bohai's heartbeat quickened as he questioned, ”Wait! Was her name Destiny Novell? And Carina Novell was her mother?”

”That's correct!” answered Nora. ”But why do you ask?”

Han Bohai laughed dryly, ”I can't believe this.”

”What's wrong?” asked Ying when she noticed the way his hand was shaking.

”I never knew such coincidences happen in life,” he started. ”That night... She really did save Destiny.”

”What are you talking about?” was Nora's reaction.

Han Bohai didn't know how to reply. Even though the one who saved Destiny was Chen Xiu, but that idiot never even bothered asking the names of the people she helped. But he, as her assistant, had to deal with all the paperwork, and since he had been the one who processed the hospital bills and stuff, he clearly remembered the name of the person and her guardian. How could he forget it? It was his very first time seeing an idiot like Chen Xiu! And it was also on the very first day of him acting as her assistant!

As if catching on to something, Ying asked, ”Did Chen Xiu really saved Destiny's life?”
