Chapter 919 - The Very First Gift (2/2)

After everyone was gone, Darren said to Xiu, ”Now, shall we also go inside to rest?”

Xiu shook her head, ”Didn't I tell you, we are going somewhere?”

”But you're clearly sleepy,” Darren pointed out.

”It doesn't matter. I got my energy from my short nap. Get a car, we are going out!”

Darren asked the driver to get the car out and Xiu told him the destination. Darren only found out about the destination when they got there. He looked at the apartment building before him and frowned, ”What are you gonna get from here?”

Xiu didn't answer and pulled him along. They went to the floor they had their apartments and she opened the door of the apartment where she lived with Nora. It had been months since she last came here. However, this place was still as clean as she left it.

It seemed someone came here to regularly clean it these days. She walked over to her own room and started going through the stuff in her closet while Darren plopped down on the bed and loosened his necktie. He had already thrown his suit jacket at the side and now, he was taking off his cufflinks.

Xiu came out with a big box when Darren was rolling his sleeves. She placed it right by his side and opened the lid. She took out several random things from the box. Even Destiny's letters and the mystery box were also inside this cardboard box.

”Found it!” she pulled out the gift box and waved it in front of Darren's eyes. ”Remember this?”

Darren looked at it and his brows raised up before he nodded his head. ”You still haven't opened it?”

”Didn't you tell me to open it on the day I feel really happy?” She grinned while unwrapping the gift. ”I don't think I can get happier than I am today. So, we are opening it today. This was the very first gift you gave me. I always reminded myself to open it when my heart really feels full.”

As she managed to unwrap it and looked inside, her smile froze. She pulled out the bottle of wine and glanced at him, ”You gave me wine? But you said the gift will make me happy. And it's something I asked for.”

Darren chuckled at her expression, ”Sweets, this is exactly what you asked for that night. And it's a proven fact that wine can make you happy.”

Xiu ġrȯȧnėd, ”But not today! Today getting wine as a gift is torture! I can't even drink it!”

Darren couldn't help laughing even more, ”Who told you to open it today then?”

Seeing the name and year of the wine, her eyes brightened up. For a wine enthusiast like her, this bottle was a gem! Who would dare open it to drink? This must go into her collection! It'd be part of her precious collection.

It was a good thing that Han Bohai never touched her wine collection which she had kept as Chen Xiu. Now, she could add one more bottle to it.

”I'm still happy,” she told him.

Darren was amused at the way her mood changed instantly as always. Such simple things made her so happy. While shaking his head, he ruffled her hair. Suddenly, his eyes caught sight of something in that box that made him frown.
