Chapter 890 - Drop A Bomb (1/2)

That night, both Xin Zimen and Xin Zemin arrived to look for Xiu. First of all, they inspected her from head to toe to make sure she wasn't injured at all. Then they made her sit on the sofa as they started lecturing her over how irresponsible her behavior had been. Xiu had no complaints about this, she even attentively listened to them.

Usually, these two brothers would never even have a full sentence to say to each other but before her, they had a tacit understanding. They even allowed each other to take a breather. While one lectured, the other rested and vice versa. It was such a harmonious scene that Xiu had the urge to laugh.

She was really enjoying this scene right now. There was no remorse on her face. If a third person saw it, they'd think she was being praised with how satisfied she appeared to be right now.

Xin Zimen paused when he noticed her expressions and held his brother's arm to stop him from continuing as well. He crouched down before Xiu as he asked, ”My silly lass, are we that entertaining?”

Xiu grinned foolishly and nodded her head.

”The more you speak, the more I feel like you love me a lot,” told Xiu honestly. ”And it feels warm. You can continue to scold me, I don't mind.”

Xin Zimen quietly looked at her face and really couldn't find any words to continue. He just placed his hand on her head and rubbed it.

”We really don't want to restrict your freedom,” said Xin Zemin as he sat beside Xiu.

”I know,” replied Xiu. She gave both of them a reassuring smile, ”I understand everything. It was really irresponsible of me to run away from home like that. I worried you both. I'm sorry!”

”As long as you understand that.”

”Then shall we have dinner now? You both must be hungry as well,” suggested Xiu.

”What should I make for you?” asked Xin Zemin with a soft look in his eyes.

”Father, aren't you tired? Let it be. Ah-Xin has already arranged for a private chef for me.”

”How do you know that?” inquired Xin Zimen in surprise.

Xiu narrowed her eyes at him, ”Ah-Xin, I also know that you've already booked this entire floor. Not only this, you even cleared out the floor above and below this. Isn't that going too far?”

”I don't think so,” the answer actually came from Xin Zemin which not only surprised Xiu but also his younger brother, Xin Zimen. He couldn't believe his brother was taking his side.

However, it was still understandable. As long as it involved Xiu, they could really agree with each other and even interact peacefully. It was quite interesting how Xiu was becoming a bridge between the crack that had appeared between these brothers' relationsh.i.p.s years ago.

Han Bohai chose to avoid Xiu's two fathers because he knew they won't be as nice as his girlfriend to let him off the hook for aiding Xiu's escape plan. And Bo Jiu had no time to even pay attention to anything. And that's why Xiu had her dinner with her two fathers and talked animatedly with them.

She hadn't been talking to them in the past weeks and it worried both of them. But now seeing that she seemed to have gone back to her previous state of mind, they were naturally relieved. So, the dinner was a lively affair just because of Xiu's presence.

Xiu had truly settled the struggles in her mind now. She didn't feel as difficult to approach these two fathers as she did a few weeks ago.

These two fathers had already lost years that they could have spent with their daughters and now, she couldn't take any more of that precious time. She was a daughter to both of them. Why was it so difficult to accept? Since she didn't want to see either of them hurt, she had to make sure to protect them both from unnecessary pain.

It wasn't worth it.

”You both are gonna stay?” asked Xiu after the dinner.

”Yes,” replied both brothers simultaneously.

Xiu tapped her chin thoughtfully, ”For how long?”

”As long as you're staying,” came the prompt reply.

Xiu had expected that and nodded. ”But you won't keep an eye on me all the time, right?”

”No, you're free to do whatever you want.”

Xiu nodded in satisfaction, ”Got it!”

Xin Zimen had a phone call and after taking the call he told her, ”I'm going to the hospital.”

”Why?” inquired Xiu.

”Xichen is alone at the hospital,” replied Xin Zimen. ”I should at least go over to check up on him and also, I need to see how Jinhai is doing as well.”
