Imperfect Desires

Chapter 563 Sound Of My Hear

563 Sound Of My Hear

"Have a good day, Mr. Salvay!"

"Mrs. Salvay, don't you want me to stay? I mean we just got married yesterday," Darren was trying all his best to avoid going to work for today. But apparently, just because he married a lazy wife, didn't mean she'd let him be lazy as well.

Xiu poked his nose saying, "No! I don't want you to stay."

"Heartless," he muttered under his breath.

Xiu pushed him towards the door, "Don't act spoiled, Mr. Salvay. If you won't earn, how will you raise this lazy wife? You didn't go to work yesterday as well."

Darren was baffled, "Wifey, who goes to work on their wedding day?"

"That is why I didn't insist. But today, no more excuses."

Darren exhaled a heavy breath before he put on his shoes and looked at her with a reluctant expression. He really didn't want to leave. But with this strict wife, he couldn't do much in retaliation.

Wrapping an arm around her waist, he pulled her in and kissed her lips. As he parted away, he said, "Take care of yourself. I'll miss you so you miss me as well."

Xiu placed her index finger right between his brows and pushed his head away saying, "Stop trying to be romantic. It's completely unnecessary so early in the morning."

Darren opened the door to leave and yet again looked back at her saying, "Sweets, you changed after becoming my wife."

Xiu pressed her lips together to hold back her laughter as she said, "I know. That's why they say there is a huge difference in a lover and a wife."

Darren waved her goodbye and took heavy steps away down the hallway.

"Don't forget we have to visit Clara mom in the evening. So, come back a little early."

Hearing the reminder from behind, he raised his hand to acknowledge that he heard her.

Just as she came back inside, Xiu found Francesca having a fit of laughter on her own. Seeing Xiu's expression, she stopped laughing, "Sorry! I couldn't help it. I have never seen my son acting like this." She burst out laughing again while clutching her stomach. "He acted like a kid who would make any excuse to avoid school."

Xiu sat down beside Francesca as she asked, "He never did these antics back in school?"

Francesca shook her head saying, "Never! I told you he was a very sensible kid. He never made a fuss about school."

Xiu couldn't help imagining the younger version of Darren and ended up smiling to herself. Originally, she planned on moving her stuff from her apartment to Darren's but seeing how everything was already available at his place, Xiu really had no idea what else to do.

Later, Francesca was about to leave as well to meet Zhao Wei so Xiu suggested, "Why don't I go with you?"

Isn't that because of your son who didn't let me sleep at all last night? Apparently, the midnight 'workout' was a lot more important than sleeping. But she couldn't just tell this to Francesca no matter how blunt she always had been.

After Francesca also left, Xiu was the only person in the whole apartment. Since she had nothing else to do, she decided to clean up the apartment just to pass some time. She was feeling bored anyway. So, for the next three hours, she cleaned so hard that everything was sparkling.

In her personal opinion, everything now seemed to 'Bling Bling'.

And this satisfied her very much. A clean place gives room for new ideas. That's why Xiu thought this cleaning might help her in sorting out her thoughts and future plans.

Oh, wait!

She didn't have a future plan at the moment. How delightful!

Being an utterly useless person was really no joke, eh? She was getting tired of not having anything to do as well. And she never thought there would come a day when she'd want to go back to her routine of working.

Since there was still some small stuff that she needed from her place, she stood up to enter her own place. Sorting out everything in a bag, she took it out of the apartment but abruptly stopped when she heard familiar voices...

....

"Hi!"

Ying rubbed her forehead as she said, "I feel like I did a big mistake by showing you the way to my place."

Han Bohai smiled at her remark and said, "I'm not here to bother you. Just came to say goodbye."

"Goodbye?" Ying repeated his words. "Why? Are you going somewhere?"

Han Bohai nodded his head, "I have to attend an event in the Capital. So, I'll be leaving for a couple of days."

Ying pursed her lips as she asked, "When will you be back? I mean will you be back by Saturday?"

Han Bohai frowned slightly at her question but still answered, "Hopefully. Why? Do you need me for something?"

Ying really wanted to say yes. She wanted to take him to Xiao Li and Meihui's wedding. But she didn't know how to bring it up. Even though she accepted him as a boyfriend, she really didn't know if she could ask him this question out of nowhere. Wouldn't it be like, she was using him? Somehow it felt wrong to her.

"Say something," his voice broke her trance and she looked at him again. Even now, she hadn't invited him inside. He was still standing at her doorstep looking at her with an earnest look.

"It's nothing," said Ying. "Anyways, if you came for a goodbye, you've already said it. Bye-bye!"

Han Bohai gaped at her and placed his hand on the door which she was about to close. "How can you be so heartless? I thought you'd at least have lunch with me before I leave. After all, we won't be seeing each other for the next few days."

"I don't think there is any need for that," said Ying straightforwardly.

"Crunch!"

"What was that?" she questioned seeing him making a weird noise.

"That's the sound of my heart breaking into a million pieces."
