Chapter 918 - Missing Piece (2/2)

”Then why are you sitting here alone?”

”I like being alone,” retorted Xin Zimen. ”You go ahead and have fun. Just leave me here.”

Xiao Li couldn't argue with him since he could see his father wasn't in the mood to argue right now. So, he just chose to walk away. Since his father wanted to be alone, he'd just give him, his privacy.

But soon, Xin Kuan came to sit beside him but said nothing. He just sat there in silence. However, this silence couldn't last long because Su Feifei appeared before them, ”Hi, brother-in-law. Hi, Brother Kuan.”

”Hello, Director Su,” replied Xin Kuan but Xin Zimen didn't even spare her a glance.

Su Feifei rolled her eyes at Xin Zimen and said to Xin Kuan, ”Brother Kuan, how about you have a dance with me? I'd have asked brother-in-law but he doesn't dance with anyone except for his wife.”

Xin Kuan smiled at her and said, ”NO!”

”Why?”

”Just thinking about dancing with you is hurting my feet. You've stepped on them way too many times in the past. Let's not repeat history.”

”I practiced. I promise I'll do better.”

Xin Zimen gave her a glance, ”Who did you practice with?”

”With myself,” answered Su Feifei.

”That's it! I'm making a run for my life. Or more like, for the sake of my feet!”

Su Feifei looked at Xin Kuan who ran away and glared at Xin Zimen, ”Brother-in-law, how can you do this with me?”

”What? It's not like I could force Brother Kuan to dance with you? I've done that before and he still has trauma from how you pummeled his feet.”

Su Feifei plopped down on the seat beside him which Xin Kuan left and crossed her arms over her ċhėst, ”I wish my Sister Ai was here. I'd have complained about you!”

”I also wish she was here,” he replied softly.

Su Feifei paused and asked, ”Are you missing her?”

”No. How can I miss someone who lives in my heart?”

Su Feifei grunted at that reply, ”You're really...” She had no words to say for now. Maybe the right word was that she was left speechless. Taking a deep breath, she added, ”It's alright to miss her. We all do.” She took a pause and looked around, ”And especially at a time like today. When you see everyone being happy, it'll only remind you of what's missing in your own life. You and I both know that the only missing piece of you is Wen Ai.”

Xin Zimen hated the fact that he couldn't argue with her over this. But he really couldn't. Wen Ai was really the missing piece of him.
