Chapter 976 - Favorite Eyes (1/2)

Xiu was still shocked by his trembling body but she still lifted her hands to rub his back soothingly. Up and down, the gentle motion of her hand put Darren's mind and heart to rest. Feeling her warm body he was rest ȧssured but she still pulled away to look at her up and down to confirm that she wasn't hurt anywhere.

”You didn't get hurt, right?” he questioned anxiously.

Xiu frowned at his question and suddenly realized what was happening here. The call was cut unexpectedly and he wasn't able to reach her. And that's what led to his current state.

Xiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry in this situation.

”Baobei, I am absolutely fine,” she told him as she rubbed the side of his face with her hand to reassure him. ”My phone fell down and broke down. It's nothing serious. I'm not hurt.” She conveniently chose not to tell him that her shoulder was still aching a bit. She knew if she mentioned it, this situation would get worse. ”What did you cook up in your head?”

”But you said you're at the hospital,” he said in a distressed voice. ”How could I not worry when you said that? My mind just ended up thinking of the worst scenario. I couldn't help it.”

Xiu chuckled at his reaction, ”There are other reasons for coming to the hospital.”

”Like what?”

”Like Mama gave birth to your little brother.”

Darren was quiet for a moment before he asked foolishly, ”But wasn't the delivery date set to tomorrow?”

Xiu knocked on his head, ”Silly, did my delivery date was the same as the one doctor predicted?”

Darren shook his head and finally understood how much of an idiot he looked when he asked that question. But he wasn't ashamed at all. He couldn't help it.

As if struck by light, Xiu's eyes suddenly widened, ”Did you just get off that car?” Darren didn't take her words seriously as he nodded in a daze. ”And you're the one driving it?” Darren again nodded and suddenly his ear was pinched by his wife who looked at him with those scary eyes that always made him submit before her.

Fuck! It seemed he was in trouble!

”You bloody son of a bachelor!” Xiu swore in her style as she glared at him. ”I thought some idiot drunk was driving so rashly but it turned out, it was my own husband. Great! What were you trying to do? Cause an accident?”

Darren realized what he had done wrong and his body stiffened. He actually didn't notice how he drove over here since all his mind was on Xiu instead. But now that recalled it, it seemed that he really went overboard with the speed.

”Sweets, I'm a professional,” he said in a weak voice.

”How many years had it been for you?” she roared. ”Do you still think you're omnipotent?”

Darren hugged her waist and said, ”Sweets, think of it this way, I finally got over my fear. And it's all because I was so worried about you that nothing else mattered. Your love made me conquer my fears.”

”These dialogues aren't gonna work!” she shot back. She was seriously angry and actually felt a lingering fear in her heart when she remembered the speed of the car. And that made her pull Darren's ear even more fiercely. But he didn't complain and let her be.

He knew he was in the wrong this time. He was worried about her but that was no excuse since he ended up making her worry about him instead. What a cycle of worries!

”I won't do it again,” he said in a small voice acting pitifully.
