Chapter 961 - Its Lively Tonight (2/2)
”Well, no wonder you're here Ying Jie,” added Dylan.
”Dylan, are you taking her side right now?”
”Why can't I?”
”Why don't you do it when she is around?”
”Where is the fun in that?” retorted Dylan. ”When she is around, it's only fair that we argue. That's the real fun in my life.”
”Get a hobby!” said Nora. ”Or get married already!”
”Why are you so eager for my marriage?” asked Dylan.
”Why should I tell you that?” retorted Nora. ”Where is my nephew? Where is my little Derek? I need to hug him and kiss him to wash away the bitter taste Dylan left around me.”
”What do you think Rowan is?” asked Dylan.
”My energy booster!” yelled Nora. ”You got a problem with that?”
Dylan rubbed his ear that she almost broke with her yell, ”How can I ever dare to have a problem with that?”
”My living room is quite lively this evening,” said Darren as he looked at the crowded lounge. It had been a while he saw so many people gathered around. There were quite a few faces, he hadn't seen in months. And Dylan's face was also included in that. Because when Nora met him like a month ago, Darren wasn't around.
”Dazi!” Dylan opened his arms and hugged his best friend. ”Why are you so fit? Shouldn't dad's be with a pot belly?”
”Is your dad also with a pot belly?”
Dylan stiffened when he heard that voice and looked behind, ”Dad, when did you come?”
”When you're telling Darren how dads should be,” said his father. ”First, become a dad then give us a lecture!”
”Uncle Yi, you're my hero tonight!” said Darren.
Qiu Jiayi gave his son a huff and looked at his future daughter-in-law, affectionately, ”Cali, how are you? Is everything settled? Do you need me to help you with anything else?”
”Uncle, you've already helped me a lot,” said Cali. ”I don't dare ask for more.”
”Aiya, what uncle? We are family now. I'm also your dad now. There is no need for formalities between us. No one even knows the meaning of formality in this family anymore.”
Cali smiled at him, ”Then I won't be formal from now on.”
”That's better,” said Qiu Jiayi. Then he looked at his son and frowned, ”If you're here, help Regan with something. Don't just stand there? Did you all come to freeload on Spring Festival?”
Dylan was jolted as he pulled Darren away saying, ”Bro, even if there is no work, you give me something to do. My dad is out for my life.”
”Who told you to run off in the middle of a huge project? You deserve it!” retorted Darren with no sympathy for his best friend.
