Chapter 928 - Serious Conversations
If one had to ask Darren what he enjoyed these days, he would say the time his wife spent dressing up their son. It was both hilarious and heartwarming. You must be wondering, why?
Well...
"Aiyo, little tiger, how about wearing a suit today, eh?"
Xiu seemed to be asking the son who was b?r?ly two months old now but if you think that would stop her from holding a serious conversation with her son then you must think again!
"Sweets, he isn't going to an event. Is it necessary to make him wear a suit in this weather when he is only gonna stay at home?"
Xiu gave her husband a look, "So what? Are you looking down on people like us who stay at home all day?"
Darren raised his hands in defeat, "I would never!"
Xiu took a deep breath and finally decided to change her option. And while she was dressing up the little master of the house, the super energetic baby flailed his legs and arms around and even ended up kicking Xiu's chin in the process.
It wouldn't have been a big deal but Xiu had her tongue between her teeth and ended up biting her tongue because of that sudden kick. Placing a hand over her mouth, she looked at her giggling son and said, "Just because I call you little tiger doesn't mean you should start kicking me already. Is this how you're supposed to treat your mother? This is so unfair. Being a mother is certainly a thankless job. Kids don't even care about the effort a mother put into raising them."
Listening to her dramatic antics from the side, Darren just pursed his lips trying to hold back his laughter. He couldn't help it. He had an entertaining wife. She really brought a new color into his life every single day. Yes, she was overly dramatic but that also had its own advantages.
"Dazi!" Darren could hear Dylan's voice from the moment the other entered through the door. Seeing his best friend at the breakfast table, Dylan also invited himself and sat beside him, "Can you pass me the toast?"
"You really take my house as your own, eh?"
Dylan gave him a look that said, 'Isn't it my house?'
Darren was helpless before that look and didn't continue down this line. Instead he asked, "What brought you here so early in the morning on Sunday?"
"I herad you're joing the office from tomorrow?"
Darren nodded his head, "Mama's been helping me take care of everything for far too long. I don't want to disturb her any longer. I wanted to join earlier but she insisted that I should spend more time with my son." He took a pause and added, "Although Paige had been helping out a lot, it still isn't enough."
"Oh, that just reminded me. Is Paige dating someone?"
Darren gave him a strange look, "Why are you curious about her love life?"
"I'm not curious. I saw her with Gigi the other day. The atmosphere between them seemed somewhat off."
Darren sighed out, "Didi, stop looking for gossips. Even if there is something between them, it doesn't concern us. There relationship is their personal matter. You and I or anyone for that matter has no say in that."
"That's true," agreed Dylan and focused on eating the breakfast.
Seeing Xiu coming downstairs while yawning, Dylan shouted, "Yo, good morning, Xiu!"
Xiu didn't even look at him as she said, "Keep your voice down, I have a headache!"
"Okay," agreed Dylan. "But where is my adorable nephew? I came to play with him."
"He just went to sleep," answered Xiu while yawning again.
"What? He went to sleep so early in the morning?"
"He woke up at 3 am," Darren informed his best friend. "And even kept us awake all this time. But now that Xiu dressed him up neatly, our little master chose this moment to sleep."
Dylan sighed, "I aspired to have such a life where I can sleep all I want without caring for anything."
"Your aspirations are making me want to beat you up," said Darren.
Dylan was surprised to see that it was his best friend who was arguing while Xiu was just silently drinking a glass of milk. He looked at her and asked, "Xiu, you okay? Why so quiet?"
"Do you have a son?" asked Xiu as she looked up at him.
Dylan shook his head while laughing awkwardly, "I am not even married yet."
"Then you can't understand what I'm going through," was Xiu's response making him instantly shut his mouth.
In fact, Dylan really couldn't understand it at all. He could see the dark circles under Xiu's eyes and Darren wasn't any better either. From this he could tell they were having tough time because of their son. But both of them didn't complain about it. If anything, Dylan only found a heartwarming feeling in this house.
He could only sigh to himself. With how much these two loved each other, it couldn't be a suprise that their house actually felt so warm and loving.
"Xiu, want to come back to work?" offered Dylan.
Xiu snickered, "Dylan, do you know my fathers are? Do you know who my husband is? And have you checked who my brothers are as well?" Dylan pressed his lips as she went on, "Even knowing all about my family, you expect me to come and work for bosses like you? Have I lost my brain or something?"
"You don't have to remind me that you've a background that can shake everyone," muttered Dylan.
Xiu perched her elbow on the table and supported her face on the palm of her hand as she smiled sweetly at him, "By the way, my uncle Jiayi is also not someone to be messed with."
Dylan gaped at her, "Hey! That's my father!"
"Want me call him right now?"
Dylan instantly wilted. His father would obviously not take his side.
