Imperfect Desires-Chapter 955 - Little Followers

Being the most thoughtful person out there, Xiu had even brought a picnic basket with loads of homemade healthy but yummy snacks for the kids. And with food, obviously, this little sightseeing became even more entertaining.

In the past three years, it had become a little secret between the girls. Every month, they'd join Xiu out for sightseeing once. And to eat her handmade delicacies were just like the cherry on top. Who would resist it? As she said earlier, no one says no to good food. And it was especially true for these kids.? ??

In their simple world, food was quite important at the moment.

Xiu watched them eating with gusto and felt happy. She even invited Bo Jiu to join them. It's not like she brought limited stuff. You never know about the appetite these little kids would have. Although Asteria was already 10 and Ava was also about 7, she still called them kids. These were the only kids in their families. How can they not be special?

"Did you come back for the Spring Festival?" asked Xiu as she looked at Bo Jiu who was practically ???k?n? her fingers now. 𝒇𝒓eewe𝒃𝑛𝒐𝘃𝒆𝚕.co𝘮

Wiping her mouth, Bo Jiu answered, "I did come for the Spring Festival but who knew I'd be duped by everyone." She could only sigh at her luck. She had been out of the country for a couple of years because she wanted to explore around the world. When she first joined Dylan's company, she was just following her family's wishes to gain some experience from outside. But there she met with Xiu. And she had to say, Xiu somehow changed her life.

She not only changed her whole persona. She even made her evolve into the person she was today. And she had to say, she was more confident than ever now! She wouldn't hesitate to give the credit to Xiu for all of this.

After her encounter with the dramatics of Xiu's life and viewpoint regarding everything, Bo Jiu felt like she got a new understanding of the world. She was quite complacent once since she studied in Ivy league and had always been a top scorer. But now she wasn't complacent anymore. Now, she wanted to live the moment.

Before leaving, she had told Xiu, 'Boss, I feel like I don't know where I want to go in my life.'

Xiu had asked her a question, 'If you're told tomorrow is the day you're gonna die, what will you do?'

Bo Jiu spent a while thinking about that question. When she came to a conclusion, she called Xiu from the airport and told her, 'I know what I want to do. If tomorrow is the day I'm gonna die, then I want to live today to the fullest.'

'Good luck on your journey,' was all Xiu said to her.

In fact, from the time Xiu figured out Bo Jiu's unusual talent in hacking, she knew that Bo Jiu had actually been suppressing and hiding her real wild side behind a proper persona that was built for others. Perhaps, it was because of how she was raised.

Sighing out, Bo Jiu looked at Xiu and told her, "My parents are spending Spring Festival in Hawaii and they didn't even bother telling me about it. I came all the way here to learn that they aren't even here. And when I asked them about it, they said, 'We didn't want to hold a New Year banquet so that all our relatives could repeatedly ask us when is your younger daughter getting married? Did she not find a boyfriend? What's the point of all those top grades? Even my daughter who studied at a local university is engaged now.' Can you believe it? They are my parents and they are taunting me for being single? Like what is this behavior?"

"Actually I think they left because they didn't want their relatives to harass you with the same question over and over again," said Xiu thoughtfully. She considered those words for a while before saying it.

"No way," Bo Jiu didn't believe her.

"Oh, come on! If they were fed up with these questions, why did they still hold these banquets every year when you're not here?" asked Xiu which shut Bo Jiu up instantly. She didn't even consider this aspect before. "This year is different because they knew you're coming back and they didn't want you to face all that."

"Boss, how did you understand it so easily?" asked Bo Jiu curiously.

"Simple! I'm a parent now!" announced Xiu proudly before she rubbed her son's head who had actually placed head on Sweet Pea's stomach and was dozing off now after eating to his fill. It was such a lovely sight.

Bo Jiu gave her a strange look, "Your son is only 3!"

"So what? A parent is a parent!"

"But..."

Xiu raised her hand to interrupt her as she said, "Are you disagreeing with me?"

Bo Jiu meekly slumped back as she shook her head, "No way. Boss is always right."

Xiu looked pleased by that answer and seeing her like that, the other two little girls ended up sharing a look and giggling. As always, their aunt Xiu was an unreasonable tyrant. If she didn't want to hear anything, how can you dare say it in front of her? She'll just never agree with you!

But she'll never let you disagree either. Truly, the image of Xiu had become so lofty in these girls' minds that they had practically started worshipping this unreasonable aunt of theirs.

They had already seen way too many scenes like these where their own parents were left speechless by this aunt but could only give in helplessly. How could these girls feel sympathy for Bo Jiu? They only had admiring eyes set on Xiu's figure! This was the woman they aspire to be!

When Bo Jiu noticed these twinkling eyes set on Xiu, she was blown away!

Aiyah! It seems her Boss didn't even spare little innocent kids. She was just collecting followers everywhere! Tragic!
