553 Surprise!

-Next Morning-

"I finally got rid of him! Hurray!"

"Ying, are you alright?"

Yan Ying immediately put her hands down at her sides and stiffened when she heard that voice. She had just waved goodbye to Han Bohai with a bright smile. In her excitement, she completely forgot that she was still standing before the elevator.

When she looked back to see Francesca, she smiled awkwardly. "Morning!"

"Morning to you too," said Francesca as she stepped up to her side. "But what's with this excitement? Won a lottery or something?"

"It's nothing like that." Ying rubbed the back of her neck sheepishly. "Oh, what are you doing here? Aren't you staying at Qiu Family house? Your son and daughter-in-law are not even here."

"I know," answered Francesca. "After shopping with Nora and your aunt, I was super tired so I came here with Nora. I can understand Nora's passion for shopping but I didn't know your aunt could be so passionate about it as well."

"You went out shopping with my aunt?" Francesca nodded her head in reply. "My aunt Feifei?" She nodded again. "Are you sure? That woman only knows how to work."

"Yes, I've been told," answered Francesca. "I originally went out with Dylan but we just ran into each other. And when your aunt asked for help, I just joined her. But it was very tiring."

"HA!" Ying laughed strangely before saying, "Aunt Feifei doesn't just look young, she really is more energetic than people in their twenties."

"I can tell." Francesca shook her head. "We are the same age but she seems a lot more active for some reason. Even though we are both working women."

"You shouldn't think about it," said Ying while patting Francesca's shoulder. "My aunt loves two things; work and exercise. I guess that's why she is so active." Looking at the things in Francesca's hands, Ying asked, "Are you going back to the Qiu Family?"

Francesca nodded, "Yes, I promised Sister Wei that I'd stay until the wedding."

"Let me help you," said Ying as she took the things from Francesca's hands and pressed the elevator's button.

"Don't you think something is missing." Francesca suddenly spoke up when the elevator arrived.

Ying paused to turn as she asked, "Did you forget something?"

Francesca shook her head as she followed Ying and entered the elevator saying, "It's not that I forgot something I just feel like, without my son and daughter-in-law, something is missing. It's strange though. I'm used to living alone. It must be because today is..."

"Today? Is something special today? Am I missing something?"

Francesca looked at Ying, "Today is Regi's... Forget it. Even if he said he'll be back on this day, I shouldn't think about it."

"You shouldn't be feeling so down. He has spent this day with you for over twenty years, now it's time to let him enjoy with the person he is going to spend this day with for the rest of his life."

Francesca smiled slightly at Ying as she said, "I'm not upset about that. He just said he'd come today so I was looking forward to it."

Bzzzz...

Francesca looked down at her phone and when she read the message of Xiu, her face bloomed into a huge smile. "I think I have more to look forward to now."

....

Xiu woke up early because of their flight. As Darren had promised his mother, he'd never go back on his words. When their flight landed, Xiu was still hopping around, humming a tune with a sweet smile.

Seeing her excitement, Darren was also in a good mood. He even asked his driver to stop at a restaurant and ordered, 'Sweet soup balls, Almond jelly, Dim sums and some other dishes that Xiu loved.'

Seeing the dishes before her, Xiu's smile brightened even more as she said, "Regan, do you wanna hear something weird?"

"If you're the one talking, how is it possible for it to not be weird?"

Xiu didn't mind his words as she happily told him, "Last night, I had a dream. I don't often dream about such things but last night, I was actually eating all the things that on the table right now."

"How amazing!" Darren feigned his surprise while holding back his laughter. He wasn't gonna tell her that she announced her dream last night to him while sleeping. How would he not know that she wanted to eat all this? Seeing how heartily she was wolfing down her food, he said, "When did you turn into a foodie?"

With her mouth full of Dim sums, she shook her head and chewed hurriedly before swallowing to answer, "I don't know. I feel like my hunger has gotten bigger lately." She took a pause to think before adding, "Do you think at this rate, I'll turn into a fat ball?"

"Do you care?" he questioned.

"Not really," she answered offhandedly.

"Then eat all you want."

With his words, Xiu had nothing holding her back. She again focused on eating.

While Darren was paying the bill, she asked his driver to leave the car and go. Since Ben was on vacation, the substitute driver wasn't very familiar with Xiu. However, he still listened to her order since he had been instructed by Ben to not go against the Lady Boss.

When Darren came out to see Xiu behind the steering wheel, he frowned in confusion. Without any question, he sat on the passenger seat and asked, "What are you planning now?"

"What comes after putting this ring on?" retorted Xiu.

"What?" he asked, not having any clue about which way her mind was working now.

Xiu smiled mysteriously as she answered, "Let's call it a surprise then."

As she stepped on the accelerator, she seemed more confident than yesterday. In fact, her posture even exuded a different air. Something was different about her but Darren couldn't tell what.

As far as her surprise went, Darren was speechless when she parked the car and offered her hand to him. "Why..." Darren felt like he lost his voice. It took him a moment to form his words, "Why are we at the Civil Affairs Bureau?"

"Surprise!"
