972 Heartfelt and heart fluttering
"Jini-boyyyyyyyyyy!!! Look who is here to et you!"
Jin, who was having a peaceful day at work, was very close to falling into the abyss. The coffee in his mug was warm as opposed to his soul which had frozen now.
A head popped inside with the brightest grin on the lips. "Jini-boy!"
Six years later too, Zhou Yichen's charm and charisma held the sa vitality as before the ti Jin had left for Paris. He was his usual self wearing the sa mismatched clothes and the signature twig in between his lips. The delight in his eyes matched the shine of the sparkling stars.
Jin's expression was unbearable.
"Uncle Zhou…"
"Jini-boy!"
He hopped over to his side and pulled him into his hard hug. "I missed you!"
"I didn't. You ca to the wrong place."
He pouted. "What do you an? I have returned after a long ti and you don't even look happy."
Jin pushed him away to escape his smothered hug and glared. "Your daughter will be happier to et you than ! She is at ho, not here!"
"I know that. But I ca here to et you to give you gifts," he grinned.
He put so paper bags on the table and Jin peeked in them.
"Hehe, I had travelled to Malaysia for so work and I brought tons of sexy gifts for everybody~"
"What's sexy?"
"Aish, Jini-boy. You are at that romantic age now. You should understand."
He gritted his teeth.
"Thank you for your gifts so you can leave now."
"So soon? Won't you give a company tour as the CEO?"
He dryly said, "Haven't you already seen it six years ago when you forcibly barged in to work here?"
"Weren't those the golden days~" he waved his hand.
Jin held his shoulders and forced him to face in the direction of the door. "The exit is that way."
"No, no, noooo! I don't want to leave so soon!" He cried.
"I thought you would be over the moon to et Zhou Ai who is pregnant with your second grandchild," he arched his brow. "Aren't you showing your excitent to the wrong person?"
He bead. "Of course I am! My heart bets on a daughter this ti!"
"Good. She is waiting for you."
"Aren't being too harsh towards his old man?" He sniffled.
"I am not your son-in-law so I can be as harsh as I want," he sneered.
Suddenly, it occurred to Jin.
"Wait a minute…" his eyes narrowed and he suspiciously leaned over him. "Your excitent and insistence to stay here feels very shady. Perhaps…Aunt Xie at ho too?"
Zhou Yichen's brow twitched. A second later, he burst into laughter.
"Ah, Jini-boy. Why would it matter if Nuying is with Ai-chan or not? I can visit the Liu villa too!"
"Then go."
"Can I not miss Jini-boy? You are Jun-cute's brother after all!" His nostrils harrumphed.
He sneered. "So Aunt Xie is at ho and that's why you don't want to go. You are waiting for her to leave. See, this is why your lovely reunion with your ex-wife escapes you. I thought Bro's marriage would change sothing but na ah."
Though the world had moved forward in these six years, Zhou Yichen's relationship with Xie Nuying hadn't. At one point, they were very close to nding their relationship but sohow, things still went awry.
Zhou Yichen burst into tears. "You would understand my pain too once you know my story!"
"Not interested."
"You have to listen to it! Nuying is so stubborn. I feel for the past three months or so, she is slowly changing…" he coughed.
"Changing?"
"Well, you know nowadays I feel so nostalgic. When I am outside for work or just walking around to chill, I hear these old songs that Nuying and I loved a lot. One of them we played at our wedding too. Then we keep bumping into each other which I am sure as hell that Nuying is secretly plotting. We even joined the sa pottery class coincidentally but my heart says that she is stalking ."
"So what's the problem?"
"She didn't admit to it when I asked her!" He coughed. "I an…I feel that…you know…maybe she wants us back together?"
Jin arched his brow.
"But instead, she accuses of doing these heartfelt and heart fluttering things!"
"I thought you were so romantic at heart."
"That I am," his nose grew longer in pride. "But I am innocent in this case! It's Nuying orchestrating everything and pinning all bla on !"
"If you want her back too, then what's the problem in taking the bla?" He shrugged.
"I-I…!" He averted his gaze. "She can be a little honest but she is being a trickster…And then she goofs up with those snarky oldies in that pottery class and tries to make jealous! I an, doesn't this beco crystal clear that she is trying to get my attention? But she keeps feigning ignorance!"
"So you are fighting because of…this? Sothing that is making you happy?"
Zhou Yichen said with all seriousness, "She is not taking any responsibility is my problem. I an, isn't that expected from a reputable professor like her? Since when do teachers lie?"
His phone rang at that ti and he bead seeing the caller's na.
"Ai-chaaan!!"
"It's , Grandpaaaa!" Ailun exclaid.
The stars in his eyes lit up further. "Aiyaaa it's my cute little junior Ai-chan!"
"Hmph, I don't want to talk to you."
"Why!? Didn't you miss your handso and charismatic grandpa?"
Jin rolled his eyes.
"I missed you so much but you still didn't co to et !" Ailun expressed his grievance. "I thought you would fly to et the soonest you return…But you don't love …"
Thank God, Jin was relieved. Love you, Ailun. I will bring a big chocolate for you.
"Hmph. I am giving you only thirty minutes. Otherwise, I will ignore you for the rest of the day!" he hung up.
Zhou Yichen was in crisis.
"Jini-boy, I am sorry. I know you would have loved to spend so ti with your favorite uncle but my relationship with my adorable grandson is at risk!"
"Oh no I am so heartbroken," Jin sneered.
"Don't be," he patted his shoulders.
His gaze darkened.
"Off I go!"
Zhou Yichen zapped out of Jin's office with lightning speed only to crash into Alix. She stumbled back with so force. She steadied herself and raised her gaze, slightly squinting her eyes at him.
"I am so sorry dear!" he gasped. "Are you hurt?"
"...I am fine."
He cried. "I really apologize. I was in a hurry…"
"No problem."
"I will definitely give you a proper treat as an apology!" He flared his nostrils. "Don't worry, the bill will be on Jini-boy."
Jin, who had heard him - "..."
Alix paused. "How is it your treat if he is paying?"
He sheepishly grinned. "We are all family, dear. His money, my money, sa thing."
Jin was speechless at his shalessness.
This old man…!
