As Cui Xukun parked the car in the driveway, he looked at Cloe and asked, "Do you wanna come inside?"
"No," was Cloe's reply.
Cui Xukun nodded and alighted from the car. He started taking out the shopping bags that Cloe had bought for the twins' today. Oh, his headache was growing while the number of bags in his hands was increasing. He had a lot of explaining to do in front of his sister.
Inside the car, little Sammy tapped on Cloe's shoulder and when she looked at him, he asked, "Pretty auntie, are you gonna marry our Uncle Kun?"
Cloe pursed her lips, "Maybe."
Little Xena couldn't help chiming in, "Please, don't reject him. Our Uncle is a little bit of a fool but he is very good."
Sammy also nodded in agreement with his sister, "Yes, yes, Uncle is very good."
Cloe smiled at these innocent kids and rubbed their heads, "You guys should go inside now. Your parents must be waiting."
"We'll see you again, right?"
Cloe nodded her head, "Yeah! I'll come to see you again. Or you can ask your Uncle to bring you to see me, okay?"
"Okay!" Then they happily alighted from the car and followed laden-with-shopping-bags Cui Xukun inside the house.
Cloe leaned her head against the window and looked at them. Cui Xukun was still grinning at his niece and nephew and was saying something she couldn't hear. Cloe was momentarily lost as she just stared at him. There was no doubt that he was a very good Uncle. She had already seen it today. He was so weak before the twins that if they said go east, he wouldn't dare go west.
Cloe actually really liked his relationship with the twins. She had closed her eyes once they entered the house. But suddenly someone tapped on the windowpane and she opened her eyes.
Rolling down the window, she looked at Soren, "What's up, Soren?"
"If you're already here, just come inside," said Soren. "My wife would love to see you."
"Nah," said Cloe. "Some other time."
Soren narrowed his eyes at her, "You're already together with Xukun and you're very satisfied with him as well. Then why delay meeting his sister?"
"And how do you know I'm satisfied with your brother-in-law?"
"You wouldn't have spent your whole day taking care of his niece and nephew if you hadn't set your mind on him already."
Cloe was a bit surprised by his answer. "Oh? But I intended to just spend time with your kids. They just happened to be his niece and nephew."
Soren shook his head at her, "There is no need for such lame excuses. If you wanted to know my kids, you'd have long come to see them. It's not like I ever stopped you from coming over."
"Why did you come out?" asked Cloe. "Did Kun tell you that I'm here?"
"No," answered Soren. "If he had said something, my wife would know you're here as well. And she'd have already come out."
Cloe didn't think Cui Xukun wouldn't mention it. But considering how she didn't want to go inside, he knew that she didn't want to meet his sister right now. And so, he chose to just not say anything. He must have asked his niece and nephew to not say anything to their mother as well. Cloe suddenly smiled to herself as she thought about this.
"Then how did you know I'm here?" she asked Soren.
"Just a guess," he told her. "And I was right as well. You're really here." He thought of something and said, "By the way, did you just buy the whole mall? Why the hell would you buy so much? Kids don't need that many things."
"But everything looked so good on them," was her argument. "Also, how can I say no when they blinked at me with those big innocent eyes."
Soren rapped her head, "Idiot! That's the way they attack their opponent. And clearly, you're not a strong opponent since you fell for their tricks. Tsk. What will you do with your own kids?"
"I'm still unmarried," she retorted.
Soren gave her a strange look, "Oh, I'm happy to know that at least you aren't single anymore."
Cui Xukun came out and looked at his brother-in-law who was talking to his girlfriend, "Brother-in-law, you should go inside now."
Soren looked at Cui Xukun, "Did she reprimand you?"
"No," said Cui Xukun weirdly. "Did you say anything to her?"
Soren shrugged nonchalantly and turned to leave saying, "Drive my friend back home safely."
"You don't have to tell me that. That's my girlfriend."
Soren stopped and looked at Cui Xukun, "You sound very happy."
Cui Xukun cleared his throat and avoided his eyes before running over to get inside the car. Soren chuckled at his reaction and waved at Cloe, "I'll see you later!"
"Okay," said Cloe as she waved back.
Cui Xukun drove the car out of the driveway while Cloe looked at him asked, "Did you really see a ghost tonight?"
Cui Xukun's body stiffened when he heard that question and he shook his head, "No, but the shock was greater than seeing a ghost. It was just someone from the past. I wasn't expecting to see that person so I was taken aback."
"Ex-girlfriend?" she asked.
Cui Xukun chuckled, "No way!"
"If it's not an ex-girlfriend then who can make you so surprised?" asked Cloe curiously.
"An old friend I have lost contact with," said Cui Xukun. "A friend I thought I'd never see again."
"We can't see only dead people again," said Cloe. "The earth is round. And it is sometimes smaller than you think it is. Trust me, the possibility of running into someone you never thought you'd see again is always high. That's why I said, only dead don't come back to life."
"You're right," he nodded to himself. "By the way, can you help me contact Xian?"
"Hm?"
"Just arrange a meeting somehow?"
Cloe thought about it before saying, "I'll have to ask him whether he wants to see you or not."
"Okay," said Cui Xukun and continued to drive in silence.
