Imperfect Desires

584 You're Floored

As always Xiu was feeling a lot happier and relaxed after idly chatting with Xin Zimen. Even though it wasn't like they talked about anything really important. But it still seemed really important to her because it was something very personal and yet he hadn't hesitated at all before sharing it with her.

As for Xin Zimen, as he had said, Xiu had the caliber to be a secret service agent with her skills of being able to make the people feel warm around her. She came off as such a trustworthy person and along with her way of putting up a facade, he had no doubt that she'd make a noteworthy talent. Because even he couldn't help himself around her.

*Click!*

Xiu was animatedly chatting when the door of the room burst open and a tall woman entered the room saying, "Yo! Brother-in-law, I heard you got sick. When did you get so weak?" As the woman's eyes fall on Xiu, her eyes widened before she retraced her steps and closed the door.

Xiu was frowning in confusion when...

*Knock! Knock!*

This time the person on the other side knocked properly before opening the door to peer inside. Xiu's brows jumped up when she noticed that at the door, it was still the same woman as before. Now, she was even more bewildered. If she wanted to come inside, why did she leave in the first place?

"Sir! I have something important to report." The woman's attitude had taken a complete 180-degree turn.

Xiu looked at Xin Zimen who rolled his eyes at the woman and beckoned her inside saying, "There is no need for Directer Su to put up such an act. It doesn't suit you." historical

"Act?" repeated Su Feifei as she walked over with her eyes on Xiu. "How can you slander my name, Sir?"

Xin Zimen didn't say anything to her and instead told Xiu, "Little lass, that's your Ying Jie's youngest aunt."

"What do you mean by youngest aunt? I'm Yingying's only aunt! Who else dares to take my place?" Seeing Su Feifei's spirit Xiu was amused. Her inquisitiveness was piqued when she heard that this woman was her Ying Jie's aunt. The same could be said for Su Feifei as well who pointed at Xiu asking, "Your guest knows my niece?"

"She not only knows your niece, she is quite close to her as well," corrected Xin Zimen. "I'm quite surprised that Ying'er didn't mention her little soul sister, Bai Xiu to you."

Su Feifei's eyes bore into Xiu as she hurriedly came up her side. She bent over to come at Xiu's eye level while Xiu could only lean back in her seat feeling discomfiting under her perceptive eyes.

"Woooaaah!"

Su Feifei was yanked back as Xin Zimen pulled her hand and warned, "Don't try to intimidate her or else..."

Su Feifei fixed her suit jacket as she said, "I wasn't trying to frighten her. I had long been wanting to meet this young lady. I have heard so much that my anticipation was in high mode. Sorry, if I really startled you. That wasn't my intention." The last sentence was directed at Xiu who waved it off nonchalantly.

"I wasn't scared. Just a little surprised," stated Xiu in a sweet voice.

Su Feifei stared at Xiu's face with an indistinct gaze before she shifted to Xin Zimen, "She is a civilian."

"Indeed."

Su Feifei gaped at him unbelievingly. Was he kidding her? Her statement clearly was trying to remind him that a civilian shouldn't be in his office that contained not just national but international top secrets. In fact, a civilian shouldn't even be in this facility. However, this brother-in-law was apparently more willful than her Sister Wen Ai. They both always did whatever came to their mind. Argh! It was meaningless saying anything to him. How frustrating!

"What are you here to report?" questioned Xin Zimen precipitously.

"Oh, that can wait," said Su Feifei as she sat beside Xiu with an affable smile gracing her face.

"I thought that report couldn't wait that's why you barged into my office."

Su Feifei didn't pay attention to him as she asked Xiu, "Ms. Bai, I heard you're very close to my Yingying."

"Yes, I am."

Su Feifei nodded, "She considers you her younger sister and even told me that she often looks for you when she isn't feeling good because apparently you're her energy booster. Spending time with you allows her to forget all about the worries of the world."

Xiu laughed awkwardly, "I didn't know about that but it's true that I also respect her like my own elder sister. In fact, I believe there can't be a better elder sister than Ying Jie in the whole world."

Su Feifei was visibly pleased to hear that as she said, "Aiyo! I already like you."

Xin Zimen snorted, "You're still the same. It only takes a few compliments in favor of Ying and you're floored. How typical!"

Su Feifei turned her head and glared at Xin Zimen, "Don't try to provoke me, brother-in-law!"

Xin Zimen crossed his arms over his chest as he reminded her, "I'm your superior at work. Do you really want to keep using this tone with me?"

"Stingy!" complained Su Feifei. "I can't believe my sister chose you as her husband."

"I also can't believe she had you as a sister."

Seeing their argument Xiu was amused. From what she could see they had a good relationship but then again if Su Feifei grew up Wen Ai, then Xiu had no doubt that Xin Zimen cared a lot about her. She was even more interested because she didn't think Ying's aunt would be so like her. How very delightful!
