Chapter 904 - It's A Boy!

When Darren came downstairs, he was met with an excited crowd. They hadn't even announced the reason for gathering everyone but it seemed it didn't really matter. Because to the people here, it was already enough that they gathered around today.

For the past months, everyone had been busy with their own things and hardly found a time to gather like this. Now, that Xiu gave them a reason to find their ways back home, they were naturally really happy.

"What is my cousin up to?" asked Dylan as he slid close to Darren.

Darren gave him a look, "Didi, I can't get used to you calling my wife your cousin."

Dylan smirked at him, "But that's the truth of the day. You'll have to get used to it, Dazi."

"I really don't want to," retorted Darren.

Dylan laughed out, "You're acting like Xiu's brothers. You have no idea how fun it is to see them competing with Jackie. He is a kid and these grown-ups can't even defeat him."

"Jackie is Jackie," said Darren. He also knew about this hidden competition between brothers. He found it truly entertaining.

"But seriously, what is Xiu up to?"

"Wait and see for yourself," replied Darren. "There! Your fiance is also here. Go and cling to her, stop bothering me already."

Dylan looked towards the door in surprise, "Xiu even called Cali? Now I'm certain something big is about to happen." Even though he said that he didn't actually stick around to probe about the rest as he ran over to his fiance's side.

Darren took this time to enter the kitchen and asked, "Sweets, need help?"

"No," came the answer from his wife. "I'm almost done here." She pointed at the tray of cookies and tea saying, "Ask someone to take these out to serve."

"Okay!" answered Darren and called the maid to take the tea out while he took the tray of cookies with him and even dragged Xiu out.

Everyone's chatter died down as soon as Xiu appeared. Xiu first hopped over to her fathers, "Father! Ah-Xin!" She hugged them both at the same time and both Xin Zimen and Xin Zemin's expressions softened. Even the things stressing them out or keeping them busy these days were all forgotten when they received a hug from their daughter.

"Why is it that my daughter can't see me?" Zhao Huan questioned as she turned to her sister.

Zhao Wei looked at Xiu and said, "Perhaps because daughters always stay as daddy's little girls."

Although Zhao Huan looked displeased, she still hugged her daughter saying, "Aiyo, my baby, I missed you so much."

Xiu had to greet everyone in the room and everyone had their own ways to meet her. For instance, Xiao Li rubbed her head lovingly while Ah-Si kissed her cheek. Han Bohai straight dived for a bear hug and Jackie acting like a gentleman chose to hold her hand and refused to let go.

When it was time for Dylan, Xiu straight went past his opened arms. "HEY! Stop doing this already!"

"Didi, there is a ghost behind you!"

Dylan scoffed at her, "I'm not scared of ghosts anymore."

Xiu raised her brow at him, "Oh? Then why are you holding Cali's hand so tightly?"

Dylan avoided her eyes while everyone laughed out their antics.

"Little lass, why are we gathered here today?"

"For the tea party," replied Xiu. "I made all these cookies and tea for everyone."

"That's it?" questioned Xin Zemin uncertainly. He really couldn't believe that was all his daughter was up to right now. It was really hard to believe.

"That is it," answered Xiu. "Now, come on! Help yourself..."

Soon, everyone forgot what Xiu really called them here. Since their attention was caught by the special cookies she baked. The cookies were decorated with the theme of the ocean. One could see blue waves, starfishes, and other tiny elements that made the cookies seem like a work of art. No wonder Xiu spent so much time in the kitchen.

She was working really hard to prepare these special cookies. She sat beside Darren and leaned into his side as she whispered, "Do you think anyone noticed?"

"For now, they are only focused on eating," replied Darren with a smile. He also picked up a cookie but his hand was slapped by Xiu. He pouted at her, "Then why did you make it when I can't even taste it?"

Xiu turned to look at a maid and gestured to her to bring something. Soon, a plate of cookies appeared before Darren. "You can eat these. They have low sugar. It's perfect for you."

Darren looked at the cookies that were made just for him and gushed, "At times like these, I feel like I've gotten the best wife in the world."

"Only at times like these?" repeated Xiu.

Darren smiled at her and shook his head, "No. That's my all-time feeling." He kissed her head, "My Sweets is the best after all."

"You better not forget that," warned Xiu.

"Is it because you're getting old now, Xiu?" inquired Nora. "Is that why you've decided to host tea parties now?"

Xiu glared at her best friend, "Nora darling, watch your words. You're gonna be my sister in law in near future. I might really become an evil sister-in-law to you."

Nora pursed her lips, "You're already quite evil though."

"Father! Ah-Xin! Uncle Jing!" Xiu wh?n?d.

"Nora, stop it!" came Jing Ge's voice. "Don't irritate Xiu for no reason."

"But dad!" Nora tried to defend herself but it didn't work. Her shoulders slumped down, "I was just curious why she suddenly thought of doing this. Although she is a random person, she must still have a reason for working so hard."

Xiu straightened up, "Okay, fine. I did have a purpose for today's tea party."

"What is it?" Everyone was eagerly waiting for it.

Xiu looked at Darren and took his hand in her own, "We wanted to announce something."

"Oh, tell us. We are ready."

Xiu shook her head at them, "But we already announced it."

"Huh?" Everyone was dumbfounded as they shared the same expressions and feelings of confusion.

Darren looked over at Jackie and asked, "Little brother-in-law, didn't we already announce it?"

Jackie looked at Darren and Xiu before nodding his head, "Yes, you did."

"Why didn't we hear it but you did?" questioned Nora.

"Because I'm smarter than you," Jackie didn't forget to attack his sister's intelligence.

"Jackson, why don't you tell mommy?" asked Clara. "It seems I'm not even as smart as my son as well."

Jackie looked at Xiu and seeing him nod, he started, "The cookies are decorated with white and blue. There are special cookies at the bottom that are shaped like a little tiger cub. There is a confetti balloon above our heads. Do you guys still need me to spell it out for you?"

Xiu laughed out at her little brother and rubbed his head, "Indeed, my Jackie knows how to make me proud." She straightened and stared at everyone's face-changing expressions before she announced, "So ladies and gentlemen, if you still haven't gotten it." She pulled Darren up from the sofa who continued, "We are having a boy!"

*Boom!*

The confetti balloon above their head exploded and everyone finally came out of their daze.

And soon, the room was filled with voices as everyone wished them happiness.

"It's really a boy?" asked Nora in disbelief. She did go along with Xiu's words before but now she was really surprised. Xiu's words turned out to be true.

"It is really a boy," answered Xiu. "You should have believed me when I said that."

Nora scratched her head before she hugged Xiu, "Forget it, who cares?! It's not even important anymore. What's important is that I have to host a baby shower for my nephew!" Then she knocked on Xiu's head, "And who reveals the gender like it's a puzzle? Huh?"

"I thought I had a smart family," replied Xiu. "But it seems only Jackie is on the same wavelength as me. We are the only genuine around here."

"Oh, stop it already," said Ying. "Try to be humble sometimes. Your son might get tired of your narcissism in the future."

"And how do you know he won't be a narcissist himself?" retorted Xiu.

"She has a point," Cali also chimed in. Then she looked at Nora and said, "Call me when you organize the baby shower. I'd love to help you out."

"Of course, you should call us, Nora." Ying also said.

"You can have me as well," Han Bohai spoke up.

"Baby shower isn't for men!" retorted Nora.

"What do you mean by that? It's not like only you women are happy about this. We also need to celebrate it." He looked at Xiu, "Sister Xiu if these women didn't let us in, I'm gonna protest. How can they push me out of my sister's celebration?"

Xiu rubbed his head, "Yes, yes. No one can refuse my Xiao Bobo from entering. No one dares to do that."

Han Bohai was pleased to hear that he even looked quite smug about it as well.
