Chapter 905 - Im Dumb (2/2)

Darren harrumphed at their reaction and said, ”Once you both also get to taste what I'm tasting right now, I'll be the one to laugh at you both in the same way!”

Taking a chance when Xiu wasn't paying attention Nora held Darren's hand and dragged him out of the hall. Xiao Li and Ah-Si also followed along with Ying. As gathered around in a circle.

”Am I being kidnapped?” questioned Darren as he looked at their expressions.

”We won't even get any benefits from kidnapping you,” retorted Ying in disdain.

Darren shrugged his shoulders, ”So, why am I here? What are we planning here?”

”We have an idea and we want your input,” said Nora. ”Well, the idea originally belongs to Li bro. I must tell you, my brother-in-law is a smart person.”

”I'm standing right here,” said Ah-Si unhappily.

Nora said sorry to him and told him the details of their plan to Darren. The more he listened the more he looked at Xiao Li in awe and admiration. Truly, this silent man certainly knew how to spoil his sister to heaven.

”So, you want to arrange everything on the baby shower but Sweets won't know anything?”

Everyone nodded at him. ”It'll be a surprise for her. And a beautiful surprise at that too.”

Darren thought about how surprised and happy this plan would make Xiu and agreed with them, ”It'll really be a beautiful surprise. I'm sure, she'll love it. And she'll certainly be happy as well.” Thinking up to here, he faced them and asked, ”So, what do you want me to do it?”

”Just keep your mouth shut,” said Xiao Li seriously.

Darren smiled awkwardly, ”Yeah about that...”

”Don't make any excuses,” warned Ying. ”We know you can't keep a secret from her but this one, you'll have to keep it. There is no way around it.”

Darren was left in a dilemma, of course, he knew he couldn't ruin the surprise but he couldn't hide for long either.

”How many days? I don't think I'll be able to keep a secret for long.”

”Just give me three days,” replied Nora. ”I'll be able to manage everything in three days. I can arrange it in a day but the designer won't be done within a day. So, just hold it in for three days. Okay?”

Darren nodded his head, ”Okay. I can do this much for Sweets' happiness. You guys better not disappoint me. Or ruin her day, I'll kill you all otherwise.”

”You don't have to worry about that,” said Xiao Li. ”I'll look over everything myself. There will be no room for mistakes.”

”What are you all planning secretly out here?” asked Dylan who came to look for Darren. But when he saw the circle around Darren, he knew they were up to something here. He checked everyone's expressions and concluded, ”Let me guess since Xiu gave you all a surprise today, you want to return the favor by surprising her.”

”How do you know that?” retorted Nora.

”It's written all over your faces,” replied Dylan. ”As Xiu often says, I'm dumb but not that much.”

”So, you agree with her that you're dumb?”

Dylan shrugged her shoulders, ”I've long learned my lesson.”

”What's the lesson?”

”That there is no point in refuting Xiu's words. If I want to live safe and sound, I should just agree with her peacefully. So, if she says I'm dumb then I'll agree I am.”

Darren tsked at him, ”If you had learned the lesson sooner, we could have saved so much trouble.”

”I know, right?” Dylan also shook his head.
