544 Self-Improving Session
It was hard to say whether Xiu had a long day or a short one. She woke up at noon, strolled around for hours, and finally ca back around 7. After she had dinner with Darren, he left for so business leaving her to ponder over what foolishness she had been doing. Although she felt odd that he was suddenly leaving, she didn't comnt. She had already told him everything that had been bothering her instead of keeping it to herself.
She was done with burdening herself. So, she really didn't hesitate when she reiterated the content of the rest of the letters and whatever else she found out about. Keeping anything from him was never her intention. She couldn't trouble Dylan but she didn't mind troubling her family's Baobei.
Right now, her legs were dangling from the armrest of the couch while she was laying down with her one hand rubbing her tummy. She had eaten way too much for dinner and now, wasn't very comfortable. However, she didn't feel like taking another walk. Unexpectedly, she was really tired and also a little sleepy. Again!
Feeling bored, she was blankly staring at the ceiling with only one thought in her mind; Sothing is wrong with .
As for what brought this to her mind, she could only say one thing she had never been a sticky person. But lately, she had been really trying hard to stick to Darren. It might not seem weird to others but it seed way out of place to her.
Acting spoiled? She could accept this since she yearned to be spoiled by soone from her previous life. But what's with those honey-dipped words she'd been spouting? What happened to independent, strong, and yet calm Xiu?
Being jealous? She really couldn't accept this one! Darren had been the most honest person she t in life, and yet her brain actually made her give birth to a despicable thing like jealousy?! How unacceptable! She might not trust her own feelings as much as she trusted Darren's. And yet sothing like jealousy rose within her?
But let's not forget that a little jealousy in a relationship is not harmful. It actually ans that the relationship is really important to her and she cares a lot about it. So, she ended up justifying her jealousy.
Then there is another matter of how she suddenly had the urge to win over Dylan. Well, she always wanted to win from Dylan. But with plushies? Where is the logic? She never even liked this stuff! Was she originally this petty and whiny?
Strolling around on the busy street hand in hand, riding a bike together, trying out different snacks, and the stuff that normal couples did. Xiu had never had a chance to do it in her previous life because of her status of being a celebrity. And in this life, she was t with Darren who really didn't care about the place since his eyes, mind, heart or soul could only see her!
Most important of all, she had been acting like a stupid kid asking for attention! This was really troubling to her, she had never been this annoyed even with herself before. Now when she recalled how sweet, mushy, and sticky she had been acting, she felt pity for Darren who had to deal with her mood swings. Just thinking about her own words made her cringe. Eeeeh!
While she was still absorbed in wondering what was wrong with these strange mood swings she had been having, she sat up and ruffled her hair in exasperation. What a ss she was! It was really a wonder how soone like Darren actually liked a psycho like her in the first place!
Stupid!
She knocked her head against the side of the couch and kept reproaching herself.
How could you be so muddle-headed?! Where are your senses?! Stop acting so foolishly. It doesn't suit you! This is so not you!
*Knock! Knock!*
Xiu stopped her self-rebuking session when soone knocked at the door. This self-improving session ended abruptly because Xiu had to drag her heavy body all the way to the door. She really didn't know who would knock at her door at this ti. Although it was not even 9 o'clock yet, she still thought no one should be here disturbing her.
With an exhausted look on her face, she pulled open the door and imdiately straightened up her posture.
"Mr. Zhou!" she called out in a slightly sharp voice than she truly intended. Realizing her mistake, she continued, "Regan is not here."
"I'm not looking for my son," said Zhou Xichen who was looking at Xiu's face with an amiable, soft, and gentle smile.
"Then..." Xiu's thoughts faltered. It took her a minute to process as she said, "So, you're here to see ?"
"Can't I?"
"That's not what I ant." Xiu smiled awkwardly at him.
Although Xiu had nothing against Zhou Xichen, his face had way too much resemblance with Zhou Jinhai. Unlike Darren whose face wasn't that similar to his father. In fact, it seed like Darren had inherited most of his mother's genes.
"So, can this father-in-law invite this daughter-in-law for a cup of tea?"
Xiu's lips parted slightly in disbelief and she nodded in a daze. She was about to step out of the room when he reminded her, "It's cold outside. You should wear a coat."
"Are we going out of the hotel?" asked Xiu.
"Yes," answered Zhou Xichen and Xiu nodded.
"Then let grab my coat." She turned around and ran over to take her phone, keycard, and the coat before she went back. "Okay. Let's go!"
Looking at her spirited self, Zhou Xichen was amused as he said, "Being young is definitely good." They had just entered the elevator when he said, "I didn't expect you to agree so easily to accompany ."
"Huh? Why not?"
"Don't you have to ask for my son's permission?"
Xiu waved her hand saying, "Not really. I just inford him and that's enough."
While they both were walking out of the lobby, he suddenly noticed sothing as he said, "Soone is following us."
