Chapter 967 - A Bit Less
Sitting down with Rowan, Xiu explained everything about the Spring Festival Gala to her son patiently.
"Xiu, have you been to this show?" asked Asteria.??
"Huh?"
"You sound like you have experienced it all in person before," added Asteria.
If even a kid could notice it, obviously, the elders could do so as well. And most had no possible way to understand it. But some were special entities who had known about Xiu's original profession. And at that time, who didn't know that Chen Xiu was invited to the Gala every single year?
"I heard it all from Xiao Bobo," Xiu put the blame all on Xiao Bobo and secretly apologized to him in her heart. She had no other way to explain it without sounding like an idiot.
"Ria Jie, don't you know our Xiu? She is almighty!" said Ava. "She is well informed about everything."
Asteria didn't find anything wrong with Ava's words, "That's true."
Dodging the bullet, Xiu gathered them around, "Since we still have some time before Xiao Bobo comes to perform, let me show you what I got for you." She picked up the box that she got from Xin Zemin and opened it for them. "See, if you like it."
"Ah!" Ava picked out one of the keychains inside and shouted, "Isn't this Sweet Pea?"
Hearing her cat's name, Bo Jiu ran over and looked at the keychain in their hands. The keychains had a small cat figure attached which looked so tiny and real. Bo Jiu was amazed at the skills of the artist who made this.
In the box were three key chains for the three kids who were obsessed with Bo Jiu's cat lately. And that is why Xiu had asked Xin Zemin to get these for her.
"Isn't it pretty? My father specially customized it from France for me," told Xiu proudly. Oh, how good it felt to show off like this! She loved this feeling for sure! She looked at the kids and asked, "Do you like it?"
"Momma, I love it!" Rowan threw himself at Xiu.
"Me too!" Ava also threw herself at Xiu.
"I love it as well. Thank you, Xiu!" Asteria also joined them and in the end, Xiu was thrown back on the back. She was sitting crossed-legged on the carpet but now she was sprawled on the carpet with these kids burying her.
"I don't know about the kids but even I'd fall in love with Xiu all over if she did something like this for me," said Dylan.
He earned a punch from Darren who said, "I'm more than enough to love her."
"Possessive much?"
"As if you didn't know that already?"
Dylan shook his head and looked at his best friend, "Don't they say marriage is the grave for love? Why is your love not dying?"
"Even before my love dies for her, I'd rather kill you!" said Darren. "Don't curse my marriage or my love!"
Dylan grumbled to himself but didn't dare to make a sound to Darren.
Soon, Han Bohai really came to the stage to perform. He was singing the OST of his new movie with the leading actress. The lights, the smoke, the costumes, their voices, everything made the performance seem magical.
While Ying was focused on the performance, she suddenly frowned when Han Bohai held the hand of the leading actress towards the end. Her face was clouded with a dark aura. She looked like she was just about to jump in through the screen to peel their hands away from each other.
She hadn't even seen her husband for years and when she came back, she was thrown with this scene? Why so cruel?
"Aye, they are well-matched," said Nora.
"Hmm... That actress is gorgeous," added Cali.
"Are you both looking for death?!" exclaimed Ying.
Nora and Cali gave each other a high five and annoyed Ying even more. The way they were laughing even made Ying more frustrated now.
"Okay, stop annoying Ying'er," said Xin Zimen. "Otherwise the one to suffer will be Bohai."
"I think he is bound to suffer," added Han Yiheng.
"He deserves it," even Ashley spoke up. "Who told him to hold that actress's hand? When my pretty sister-in-law is here, he should be mindful!"
Xiu gave Ashely a look and before offering a thumbs-up to her, "Girl, you've learned how to chance the direction of the whole conversation."
"Learned it from you," said Ashley.
Xiu's face stiffened, "Why is everyone learning all this nonsense from me? Am I such a nonsense person?"
"Yes, you are," said Dylan.
"Dylan, don't try me!"
"How can I try you when you're not a trial period?" retorted Dylan.
"OHHH!!!"
"Clever!" said Nora.
Dylan blushed, "Thank you! Thank you! It was nothing much."
"Don't get carried away," said Xiao Li as he smacked his head. "I've warned you before not to mess with my sister."
"Li bro, you're so mean!" Dylan immediately sat aside to heal his wounds earned from Xiao Li. For once he was about to win from Xiu in a verbal ?ssault but in the end, he was really not allowed to do so!
"Xiao Bobo looked like a prince," stated Rowan innocently not caring about the ?du?t's world. His world could only contain a few things. And right now, his attention was solely on the performance.
He was just like his mother in this aspect. When one thing caught his attention, he'd become stubborn enough to walk in a straight line and never even bother looking around.
"Yes, Rowan is right. Uncle Hai looked really like a real prince," said Asteria. "But he is always so handsome anyway."
"That auntie with his also pretty," added Ava adorably. "Just a bit less than my mom."
"My daughter, I love you!" Nora came to hug her daughter from behind. She was pleased to know that she was still the most beautiful in her daughter's mind. Was anything more pleasing than that? There couldn't possibly be!
