Imperfect Desires 515 Equally Crazy

However, he still expected to see some reaction from Xiu.

In the end, he was left disappointed since the only reaction he got from Xiu was nonchalance. In fact, her face didn't even have a slight change in expressions. Her mood wasn't dampened. She didn't look like she was struggling to digest this new information either. It almost seemed like she was a normal girl who was just meeting a stranger.

She just politely bowed her head and greeted Zhou Xichen, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Zhou."

While Darren was left gaping at her, Zhou Xichen replied, "Likewise." Xiu's smile didn't falter at all as she continued to exchange a few words with Zhou Xichen leaving Darren in shock. "It's good that you came all the way here to see my son. I was getting tired of seeing him sulking all alone."

Xiu giggled softly as she looked up at Darren and said, "I knew he'd be sulking that's why I am here."

Darren's trance finally broke as he smiled back at her and rubbed her head saying, "Well, thank you so much for thinking about me."

*Bzzzz*

Xiu fished out her phone from her jacket and excused herself to a side. Looking at her back, Darren was still in disbelief that she didn't react. What was this sudden progress? What was exactly going on? How was he supposed to read his Sweets' mind now? She wasn't letting him see what was going through her mind.

He really couldn't process the fact that seeing Zhou Xichen had no effect on her. And then, she wasn't even fazed by learning the truth about their relations.h.i.+p. As if it was all within her expectations. As if, she already knew the truth. Thinking this far, Darren's eyes widened. Did she really know it? How? 

"Stop looking at her, she's already here. She certainly won't vanish in a minute."

Darren looked up at his father and realized that he had been constantly staring at Xiu. 

"I think I finally know why you're so crazy about her."

"Really?" Darren quirked his brows at his father inquisitively.

Zhou Xichen nodded his head as he replied, "Isn't it obvious? She's equally crazy about you." Darren's lips curled up. He couldn't deny that. "You're missing her and here she came to surprise you. What a lucky guy you are!"

"Don't drink so much vinegar, dad."

"You!" Zhou Xichen raised his head and Darren took a step back. In the end, Zhou Xichen pinched his cheek like he was a kid as he said, "Stop taunting your father at every chance you get."

Darren shrugged his shoulders and didn't reply. His eyes still darted around to find that one person.

Meanwhile...

The call Xiu received was from Yan Ying and the first question that came out of her mouth was, "Did you reach? Are you okay? There was no trouble getting there, right? Did you find Regi? Say something!"

Xiu heaved a long sigh, "Ying Jie, give me a break. How am I supposed to answer when you're not even giving me a chance to reply?"

"Oh..." Ying finally realized that she had asked all the questions in a single breath. But she had been really worried for some reason so she couldn't help herself.

Xiu could only shake her head at Ying's worries but she didn't mind it at all. It was heartwarming anyway.

"Ok, so to answer you... Yes, I've arrived safely. I've also found Regan so you can stop worrying because you know he'll take care of me."

"If he didn't take care of you, I'm willing to break his neck!"

Xiu laughed at Ying's reaction and went on, "Now, you can't always talk about hurting my Baobei. How will I live without him?"

Ying thought about it before saying, "Then I'll just break his legs so he can't run from you ever."

Xiu laughed even more, "Ying Jie, I think there is no need for that. He has no desire to run away from me. In fact, I believe if he could, he'd glue us together."

Ying finally stopped talking nonsense. She just wanted to hear Xiu's laugh which had been lost in the past days. That was the most worrisome thing to Ying because she thought something was bothering Xiu and she wasn't willing to share it with Ying. The reason why she readily agreed to send Xiu to Darren was also that.

She knew even if there was something bothering Xiu, Xiu would definitely share it with Darren. And as long as Darren knew about it, that love fool would do anything to make his Sweets happy again. 

See? She was right. Xiu just reached her Regan and she was laughing happily again. 

Recalling something, Ying grumbled, "You didn't even call to inform me that you've reached."

Xiu smiled sheepishly, "I forgot."

Ying scoffed, "Of course, you forgot. Seeing your Baobei, you seem to forget a lot of things."

"Ying Jie, stop teasing-"

"Stop teasing your sister."

Xiu abruptly stopped when she heard that masculine voice from Ying's side. It sounded a bit hoa.r.s.e but Xiu was certain she heard it!

"You stay out of it."

Then she heard Ying's reply and her suspicion was confirmed. A wide grin plastered on her face immediately as she questioned, "Ying Jie... Sending me away, you're already on a date, eh?"

"What date? Don't spout nonsense!" Ying hurriedly spoke to clear it up. "It was just a coincidence." Ying didn't know who she was trying to convince at this point, Xiu or herself?

"Coincidence?" Xiu repeated and Ying could feel that Xiu was really amused now. "I hope you run into these coincidences even more from now."

"Are you cursing me?"

"Nope! I'm praying for your happy future."

Ying rolled her eyes, "Stop talking nonsense and go back to your boyfriend before he starts sulking again. I'll call you later."

Xiu smiled looking at the phone screen. She was certain that the person with Ying was the same guy who had constantly been trying to woo Ying. But hearing his voice, Xiu couldn't help thinking that she heard the same voice somewhere very recently.
