Eventually…
"I have someone I like!!" announced the lass loudly out of the blue.
It was a deliberate attempt on her part. She wanted to see how calm and composed can he be after hearing that.
Alas, what disappointed her was that her words shocked everyone at the table but him. Looking as calm and composed as ever, the man merely quietly put down the cutlery in his hands and lifted his gaze to his niece. "What do you know about liking someone?"
"I'm 18 now. What do I not know?"
Chi Yi harshly bit down on the silver fork in her hand as she stared straight at him and answered, "Liking someone means your face will flush and your heart will race when you meet him, and during the times you don't meet him, you'll feel a sense of loss and will madly miss him…"
That was exactly how she currently felt toward him!
Chi Zuxu's sharp eyes were fixed on her pressingly and his sexy lips were pursed into a grim line as he kept his silence.
