Chapter 811 - Same Energy (1/2)
Xiu was immediately attracted by that unfamiliar and looked at the woman who appeared from behind Xin Zimen. Xiu continued to look at Su Xixi's face while the latter did the same.
”She's Xiu,” Xin Zimen told Su Xixi. ”And little lass, this is...”
”Oh!” Xiu pointed at Su Xixi's face. ”You're Ying Jie's mother!”
Both Su Xixi and Xin Zimen were surprised to hear that. Xin Zimen asked, ”Did Ying tell you about her?”
Xiu shook her head, ”Nope. She doesn't talk about her parents.” She smiled at Su Xixi as she said, ”But is it that surprising that I recognized her? Ying Jie has inherited all of her features. I'd be blind if I didn't notice that.”
Su Xixi gave Xiu a look before saying, ”She's perceptive.” She looked at Xin Zimen and added, ”Unlike her parents.” Her eyes caught sight of a third person, ”Oh, Wanwan, I didn't know you're here as well.”
”Really?” questioned Dr. Ling. ”You really didn't know I was here?”
”Why would I?” retorted Su Xixi.
Dr. Ling stared at her a moment longer before saying, ”I'll reluctantly believe you.” She smiled at her politely and added, ”It's good to see you again, Mrs. Yan.”
”Same here,” said Su Xixi.
”I should take my leave now,” saying that Dr. Ling gave her a bow and left.
While Dr. Ling stepped aside, Su Xixi turned her head towards Xiu and her brows jumped up slightly when she noticed Xiu's hand holding Xin Zimen's pinky finger as she seemed to be tugging at it with a pout.
”What? What do you want?” inquired Xin Zimen as he held her hand in his own.
”Let's keep it a secret between us...” said Xiu.
”I'm not bringing you any take-out food,” answered Xin Zimen.
”Ah-Xin!” exclaimed Xiu with her lips curved downward. ”Just a bite. Just one bite! I promise!”
”I don't believe you,” retorted Xin Zimen.
Xiu made a face at him, ”How come you're not believing anything I'm saying today?” She swayed his hand that held hers and went on, ”Aren't you, my most favorite person in the whole world? How can you do this to me?”
Xin Zimen's heart softened and he was about to fall for her tricks but he held back, ”No!” He had to stay firm in his resolve. ”Either it's one bite or two, it's all the same. One bite of poison is enough to take one's life.”
”Is that the same thing?” questioned Xiu.
”It is the same thing,” retorted Xin Zimen.
Xiu puffed up her cheeks and glared at him, looking super adorable to him. After a deep sigh, she said, ”How about letting me take a sniff of it? I promise I won't taste it! Not at all!”
”The answer is no,” said Xiu Zimen.
”Why is it still a no?” Xiu felt really wronged now. She was giving in so much. How can he do this to her?
”Because if I brought it for you take a sniff, you're gonna charm me into letting you eat it as well. I can't fall at the first step or else I'll keep falling later on.”
Xiu gaped at him. He had never been this difficult with her before.
Meanwhile, Su Xixi was amazed by this scene. Was she dreaming? Or did someone really possessed Xin Zimen's body? When did he become so patient? And what's with that doting tone? Is he refusing her or placating her like a kid?
This scene... How long had it been since she last saw it? Way too long!
”I can bring you a cupcake,” suggested Xin Zimen. ”Eating something sweet will definitely make you feel better.”
”But I was hoping for something spicy,” said Xiu. She thought about it before saying, ”But I'll take this offer. Something is better than nothing. I want that cupcake with lots and lots of cream on top!”
Seeing her big smile, Xin Zimen finally relaxed. Seeing that longing gaze of hers really made his heart feel itchy. He pinched her cheeks saying, ”Are you happy now?”
Xiu nodded her head, ”Yup! Much better than I was a moment ago.”
Xin Zimen smiled at her lovingly before he shook his head at her, ”How is it so easy to satisfy you?”
