Chapter 861 - Sounds Convincing (1/2)

Darren had silently observed for a while before he voiced out, ”So, you told him the truth?”

”He already knew it,” replied Xiu as she laid her head down on Darren's chest. ”He turned out to be more astute than I ever gave him credit for.” And just like that Xiu ended up telling him all the details that she learned from Han Bohai. ”I find it quite funny that it's Jackie who actually let the cat out of the bag. Even though he is the one who doesn't even know anything.”

”It's because Han Bohai knew all the little details about you,” said Darren. ”And since he knew you so well, he could find the similarities easily. No matter how small, it won't escape his eyes. Besides, once a person is suspicious, he pays extra attention to details. Han Bohai's heart had already been suspicious, Jackie just ended up strengthening his suspicions.”

Xiu nodded her head, ”That's true.”

”So, is he the one who made you cry?” asked Darren as he ran his fingers through her hair.

”More like we cried together,” replied Xiu. ”But it's alright. Reunions are meant to have some tears. Tears bring value to some feelings.”

”I don't like seeing you cry,” reminded Darren. ”Why do you forget that?”

Xiu tilted her face to look at him, ”Why? I cry beautifully though.”

”Is that the point?” retorted Darren. ”Whether you shed beautiful tears or ugly tears, for me, tears are tears!”

”Oh...” was all Xiu could say in reply. She noticed Darren's expressions and asked, ”Regan, do you not like Han Bohai?”

”It's complicated,” replied Darren honestly. ”He is the person who can influence your emotions. It's obvious I won't be at ease with him around.”

Xiu laughed out at him, ”You men are... Sigh! I don't even know what to say.” She kissed his cheek saying, ”You should stop worrying about him. It's you who has the most control over my emotions, my heart, my life, and my everything.”

Darren didn't reply to that but his lips curved up slightly.

After a moment of silence, Xiu continued, ”Regan, Xiao Bobo found my bracelet in Ying Jie's drawer.”

”Huh?” Darren's brows furrowed up in confusion. ”Your bracelet?”

”More like, Chen Xiu's,” replied Xiu. ”But it's a bracelet that I lost before. Even I didn't know where it was and now, it ended up with Ying Jie. It's not settling well with me.”

Darren also contemplated over this and found it odd. Why would Chen Xiu's bracelet end up in Ying's possession? It didn't make sense. Yan Ying had nothing to even do with Chen Xiu.
