Imperfect Desires

713 Good To Be Bad

Xiu pouted her lips and gave her a disagreeing gaze.

Ying pinched her cheek and said, "Silly girl! Even your idea of torture is so petty."

"Did you just call me petty?" repeated Xiu and narrowed her eyes. "If I\'m petty then so be it! I don\'t give a damn!"

"You\'re adorable when you\'re angry," said Ying with a chuckle and stood up while rubbing Xiu\'s head.

Xiu swatted her hand away saying, "Stop treating me like a kitten. This kitten can bite!"

"Oh, I saw!" replied Ying. She rubbed her head again just to annoy her as she added, "And I feel like a proud mama after seeing this kitten biting." Ying smiled lovingly at Xiu and went on, "Let\'s continue this when you\'re okay. For now, rest. Your attending doctor might go crazy otherwise. She has strictly advised everyone to make you happy. You can only have happy thoughts."

"You know your marriage to Han Bohai can make me very happy," Xiu didn\'t forget to promote her Han Bohai again.

Ying stared at her face and asked in a serious manner, "Does seeing me with this jerk makes you this happy?" Xiu bobbed her head up and down so hard that it spun a little but the bubbling happiness in her eyes was still seen by Ying who was startled by it. She took a moment and said in a soft voice, "Get better first. Then we\'ll discuss this."

Xiu stared at her wide-eyed. "You are not going to call my idea crazy again?"

Ying looked back at her and smiled, "If it makes you happy, I might agree with any crazy idea of yours."

While Xiu stared at her receding back with a disbelieving look, Han Bohai was staring at her. Xiu looked at him and he asked, "How are you feeling?"

Xiu frowned at him, "Don\'t I look great? I am even feeling great!" She took a pause and added, "It\'s good to see you here. You didn\'t have to wait here but you did. It really means a lot to me."

Han Bohai shook his head, "No. I think I really needed to stay here." He looked around the room and said, "You\'re very lucky."

"Me?" repeated Xiu.

He gave her a nod, "You have so many people worried for you. They are all even waiting anxiously to just get a glimpse of you but they are more afraid to disturb your rest. So, none of them is entering."

Xiu closed her eyes and smiled contentedly, "I also didn\'t know I was this fortunate."

Seeing the expecting gaze of his, Xiu was a bit stunned. In a daze, she nodded and saw him approaching before he hugged her shoulders and sighed heavily.

"Get well soon," he said. "So that I can take you out."

"Take me out? Where are you gonna take me?"

"Wherever you want," he replied without even thinking.

Xiu thought about it before saying, "And if I want to go to your next movie\'s shooting site?"

"I\'ll gladly take you," he again didn\'t hesitate to agree. "But for that, you, my lady boss have to get better."

Xiu frowned in displeasure at him, "Don\'t call me lady boss. It sounds weird."

"I have to get used to it and so do you! Because I actually like the sound of it," he laughed at her while she humphed. He was about to leave when he noticed the way Xiu\'s eyes were stuck on her husband whose bed was a distance away from hers.

Thinking of something, he went out. Soon, Xiu was surprised to see how the staff came and shifted Darren\'s bed right beside hers.

"Is this okay now?"

Xiu looked over at Han Bohai. Scooting over, she held Darren\'s hand and lifted up to caress her own face as she said, "It feels perfect now."

Han Bohai nodded, "I also think it\'s perfect now."

"Good night!" waved Xiu as she happily laid down to rest now.

As Han Bohai came out of the room, he was faced with Ying\'s questioning gaze, "I didn\'t think you\'d notice such small details." Then she facepalmed herself, "I must be silly. If it wasn\'t for this keen gaze of yours, how else would you have tricked me into becoming your girlfriend?"

Han Bohai placed his arm over her shoulder and said, "Actually, she is easier to read than you. You\'re a little tricky but she is very simple."

"Simple? And Xiu?"

"Believe it or not, she is very simple. She is like a cute sister one would want to pamper and love."

"That I can totally agree with. I don\'t know why is it like this but she sure knows how to evoke these tender feelings."

"Why is the corridor suddenly so quiet?"

Ying sighed heavily, "The waiting party got into a heavy discussion so they chose to take the room next door to talk."

"I really didn\'t think this day would end like this," said Han Bohai.

"I don\'t think anyone did!" was Ying\'s response. "Does it make me evil if I say that I have no regrets for this day?"

Han Bohai patted her head, "Nah! I think it\'s good to be bad once in a while."
