Chapter 686 MLady
686 M\'Lady
Han Bohai looked up at Xiu and his eyes flashed with indescribable emotions. It was hard to say what he was thinking about but a lot of emotions were swirling through his deep eyes. The way he looked at Xiu held some familiarity that made Xiu frown slightly. Then he suddenly smiled with such warmth that Xiu was stunned to her place.
She believed it to be her illusion but the way he smiled at her held the same warmth that he always directed at Chen Xiu. She must be going crazy! How could he see Chen Xiu in her? It was really her own illusion.
"This little gentleman is very interesting," said Han Bohai.
Nora ruffled Jackie\'s hair saying, "That makes one of us." She pinched his cheeks and added, "Because this old grandpa bores me to death."
Jackie glared at Nora and Xiu did the same as they both said in unison, "Stop touching my/his hair!"
Nora looked between Xiu and Jackie and laughed like a hooligan as she intentionally ran her hand through Jackie\'s hair again. "Nora, be a good Dora and keep your hands to yourself." With that Xiu leaned over to fix Jackie\'s hair and told him, "She is just jealous that our Jackie is the most handsome young man here."
"It\'s not good to lie," Nora chimed in.
Xiu smiled at her which didn\'t seem like a smile as she said, "No wonder I had been feeling an itch in my hand today. It seems like it was you who is yearning for a beating!"
Nora gasped as she turned to Xin Zimen saying, "See, father-in-law, you think she is a good person. Now, do you see the real her?"
Xin Zimen was being amused between them as he raised his hands in defense saying, "Can\'t help, daughter-in-law. I\'m the one who told her that she is allowed to act however she wants, I\'ll take care of the consequences for her."
Nora gaped at him in disbelief, "You also gave her the free pass? How come all fathers fall for the same trick of hers?"
Meanwhile, Zhao Huan looked at Han Bohai and asked Ying, "So, no introductions?"
Ying held Han Bohai\'s arm and tugged him over saying, "Meet Dr. Zhao Huan. She is a real doctor unlike me." Han Bohai chuckled at that which she ignored and continued to say, "And this one is my godfather, Xin Zimen. I don\'t think he needs any other introduction." Han Bohai bowed his head slightly to greet both of them. "And he is a small-time actor, Han Bohai. Now, he is my boyfriend. Don\'t ask how it happened because even I\'m unclear about the details."
"It\'s amusing how ticked off you get whenever I say something about him. Tell me, do you have a crush on him? Should I tell Regan about this?"
"What do you want to tell me?" came Darren\'s voice who joined them at this moment.
Ying looked at Xiu\'s nonchalant expression before telling Darren, "Your woman has a crush on my boyfriend. Keep an eye on her."
Darren looked at Han Bohai and then at Xiu before shaking his head helplessly, "Instead of telling me to keep an eye on my wife, you better keep holding onto your boyfriend tightly. If you continued your indifference, someone might really snatch your eye-candy."
Ying stared at Darren weirdly before asking, "Yo! You\'re not even jealous?"
Darren went around to hold Xiu\'s waist as he replied, "Oh, I\'m very jealous. If there is one person who I can be jealous of, it\'s definitely your boyfriend. But that doesn\'t mean I\'ll let my jealousy rule my judgment."
"Pei!" Ying made a disgusted face saying, "I feel like I was fed a mouthful of dog food and that too so blatantly."
Nora patted her shoulder. "Comrade, I feel you."
While others might not have taken Darren\'s words seriously, Han Bohai did. He actually could tell that Darren was being honest when he said he was jealous of him. And for some reason, the thought made him smile slightly.
"I\'ve heard a lot about you, Bohai. It\'s nice to finally meet you in person," said Xin Zimen.
"You heard a lot about me?" repeated Han Bohai in disbelief.
"Why is it hard to believe?" asked Xin Zimen. He leaned over to whisper, "Although our Ying\'er might not seem like it, she loves to talk. Especially about you. From the moment you bumped into her at the mall, all I\'ve been hearing is your name. That\'s why I was very much looking forward to meeting you in person."
Han Bohai opened his mouth but no words came out. He really couldn\'t believe that Ying would have talked about him.
"And I\'ve been hearing about you from this brother-in-law of mine," added Zhao Huan. "And I can assure you, we both had been looking forward to meeting you."
While these people were busy greeting each other, Nora and Ying were discussing how annoying Darren and Xiu were while Jackie was busy glaring at these two who were gossiping about his favorite pair. As for the said pair in discussion...
"Regan, let\'s go and congratulate Li bro."
"We can do it later."
Xiu shook her head, "No, let\'s hurry up. I feel tired. I want to go home."
"I\'ve been telling you to leave for a while now," reminded Darren. "Where are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"Oh, I just want to go home and wear my baggy Pjs to lie down and sleep. Yes! That\'s the plan!"
Darren nodded his head, "Alright. As you say, m\'lady!"
