"Too sweet for my taste," was Cloe's comment when she coincidentally ended up hearing Shui Xian's proclamation of love.
"Don't you have a boyfriend already?"
Cloe looked back at Anna as she questioned, "What does that have to do with this situation?"
"I mean you shouldn't be feeling so sour now that you have a boyfriend of your own. You can also act this sweet with him."
Cloe made a face as she snorted, "I don't like sweet love. For me, it has to be a bit hot and steamy with some added spices here and there. Chief and Master Xian are too sweet for my taste."
Anna gave her a look, "You really have some hardcore interests."
Cloe laughed out happily before saying, "Oh, by the way, let me correct you. I don't have a boyfriend. We are just taking it slow."
Anna patted her shoulder, "You want hot and steamy romance and here you're moving at the speed of a tortoise?"
Cloe cleared her throat, "At least, I have someone. What about you?"
"Childish," was all that Anna replied with.
Cloe also thought she was acting childish right now. What was the point of having this conversation? Whether she wanted to take a slow pace or a fast one, did it really matter? Especially since her blind date seemed to be too much of a gentleman. Thinking about Cui Xukun, Cloe shook her head.
Bzzzzz...
Cloe felt her phone vibrating in her pants pocket. She rummaged it out and looked at the caller id with raised brows. And as soon as she answered she said, "Are you a worm in my stomach?"
Cui Xukun paused when he heard that question from her. "Why? Were you thinking about me and I called right at that time?"
Cloe's eyes widened when she realized that she gave herself away. "No! Who said that? Don't assume things on your own."
Cui Xukun chuckled silently at her reaction.
"Anyways, why are you calling me today? Am I getting another box of chocolates?"
"No," replied Cui Xukun. "I was wondering if you have some time tonight?"
"Tonight?" asked Cloe as she seriously thought about it. "It depends on what you have in mind."
"There is this movie premiere and I have tickets for it," he told Cloe carefully. He was trying hard not to sound too eager but his excitement was clearly too much to hide.
"What kind of a movie is it?" questioned Cloe.
"Romance," he answered.
"Time?" she asked.
"Does that mean you agree?"
"Well, I have nothing else to do," she tried to seem nonchalant about it.
"Okay! Then I'll see you tonight," said Cui Xukun and hung up the phone.
But even after he had hung up, he was still holding the phone tightly in his hand. The goofy smile on his face showed what he was going through.
"Mama, Uncle Kun is laughing like a fool!"
Cui Xukun's elder sister, Cui Xuqing looked up from the case she was studying, and seeing her brother's face, she shook her head. "Let your Uncle be," she said to her son. "He was born a fool."
Cui Xukun's lips twitched when he heard his sister saying that about him. Remembering something, he jumped to his feet and ran over to his sister's side. As he tried to take the premiere tickets from the table, he said, "Jiejie, thanks for the tickets."
He had yet to take the tickets when Cui Xuqing placed her hand over his to stop him, "What tickets? Didn't you tell me you don't like going to cinemas?"
"Jie, I was just joking with you," he said.
Cui Xuqing smiled at her brother which didn't look like a smile as she said, "But I'm not joking though. It's my client who offered me the VIP tickets for successfully dealing with his contract with his company."
"But you clearly offered these tickets to me," he argued.
"And you clearly said you don't want to go," she reminded him.
"Jieeeee!"
"Don't whine!" She smacked the file on his head. "This is why you should never be hasty. Idiot!" She placed the tickets in his hand but didn't let go just yet as she added, "Before I give this to you, let me ask you something."
"What is it?"
"You really like her that much?"
Cui Xukun smiled to himself, "I do."
"Maybe you're mistaking your feelings," she said seriously.
"If it had just been a crush, all those feelings wouldn't have come rushing back when I saw her again."
Cui Xuqing rubbed his head, "Then all the best!"
"Thanks, Jie!" Cui Xukun was instantly energized as he looked at his sister and made a fist saying, "I'll do my best! Fighting!"
"Please, refrain from acting like a fool in front of her."
"I'm no fool!"
"When you're not working, you are no better than a fool."
Cui Xukun made a face at his sister and then held her hand to pull her up.
"Stop pulling me!"
"No, can't do. You have to come with me and tell me what should I wear tonight?"
"You must be kidding me right now."
Cui Xukun shook his head, "I'm not."
"And then you say you're not a fool. Go away and wear whatever you want. Don't disturb me. I have to study this case. Leave me alone."
"Uncle Kun!"
Cui Xukun looked at the little girl who came to hold his hand and smiled at him sweetly, "I'll choose your clothes for you."
Cui Xukun smiled lovingly at his niece, "Our Xena is so sweet. The best in the world."
The little girl giggled at the compliment.
Cui Xukun gave his sister a final look, "I wonder how did a devil-like you gave birth to such an angel."
"Maybe Heaven mixed it up," retorted Cui Xuqing. "Even I can't believe she is my own daughter."
Cui Xukun shook his head at his sister and picked up his adorable niece in his arms, "You, my cute angel, come with me. You help Uncle and Uncle is gonna give you your favorite cake."
"We can't share it with Sammy," said Xena with a pout.
"We definitely won't share," Cui Xukun agreed without any hesitation.
