Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu-Chapter 992: To meet again

Alix opened her makeup mirror in the car and turned her head from left to right and again from right to left.

"Do the earrings really look ugly on me?"

Jin gave her a side glance. "Since when are you bothered by your sister’s remarks?"

"Who is bothered by a child’s tantrum?" She rolled her eyes. "Clearly, she doesn’t see my charm."

"Then why do you ask?"

She shrugged. "I just wanted to see what reaction she would give if I wore the earrings she gave me as a gift years ago."

Jin slightly arched his brow. "How come your heart melted so suddenly?"

"Apparently at one point, my sister genuinely used to adore me," she smiled and pointed at her earrings. "She spent all her pocket money on this."

Jin tried to envision such a past with a loving sisterhood. But he couldn’t digest the contrast that Mui exhibited in the company party, wanting to ruin her own sister.

"She loved you and now she hates you."

"Yeah that pretty much sums up."

"What happened to make her jump the ship?"

Alix shook her head. "You."

Jin was dumbfounded. "Excuse me? What did I do?"

"I mean not you, but your gender. Men. Tch. Always troublesome."

"..."

"Apparently again, she had a crush on a guy she thought I had a crush on too. So Alix became the evil sister. Only that the evil sister knew that that supposed crush was a useless guy but women. Tch. Can get so blind in stupid love," she sneered.

"Love is not stupid. People are," he cleared his throat.

"Are you love’s advocate?"

"I just feel it’s wrong to blame the emotion of love for people’s stupidity," he shrugged. "But we often mix up the two because it’s easier to blame an abstract feeling than yourself."

"Huh…interesting," she raised her brow.

With that thought circling in her mind, they reached the Gu villa’s entrance.

"Jini-boyyyyy!!"

Chyou jumped to hug Jin as soon as they made their way into the living room. Jin’s gaze darkened.

"Can you stop with that nickname?"

Chyou pouted. "No way! You are my cute Jini-boy! Uncle Zhou’s naming sense is so awesome~"

"Uncle Jini-boy!"

Little Ziyi came rushing towards him and hugged his leg with all her strength.

"..."

He threw a deadly glare at Chyou. "What is this! Uncle Jini-boy?"

She grinned. "It only makes sense, right?"

"No, it doesn’t!"

"Alix!"

Chyou brightened and waved at her.

Alix slightly bowed with a complicated look. "...Hello."

Ziyi hopped to her side next. "Pastry aunt!"

Alix blinked. "You call me that too?"

She giggled. "I learned it from Ailun. You were so cool that we call you pastry aunt!"

A satisfied smile grew on her lips as her expression shone with pride.

Jin gritted his teeth. "This is totally unfair!"

Chyou ignored his rant and wrapped her arm around his. "Come on in! I have tons of snacks ready for you~"

"I just had my breakfast-"

"There is always room for some more food~"

He sneered. "You are Grandpa’s cult member, aren’t you? Only they would say something like that!"

She dragged him inside nevertheless and Alix followed quietly.

"By the way, we have one more guest inside," she chirped.

Ziyi trotted upto Yating’s side. "Dad!"

Yating looked down and chuckled. "Ah there is my princess."

She sheepishly grinned as he took her in his arms. His heart melted like a puddle of butter as he hugged her cuteness.

Besides Yating and Ziyi, Alix saw another figure seated on an adjacent chair, making her stiffen.

Guiying raised her head and beamed. "Ah, Jin."

"Hey," Jin smiled. "So you are here too."

She scratched her chin. "To meet Yating related to my novel work. It has been quite hectic with all the editing phase. Yating is cutting me no slack."

Yating frowned. "Don’t give false illusions. I give you plenty of breaks. Your husband will come for my neck if he misunderstands that I bully you. You want that, right? You just want to see me suffer. Don’t you already know just how many texts he sends me in a day just to make sure that I don’t trouble you? As if I do that!"

"Hehe."

"Don’t laugh!"

"Hey, you cannot blame Zixin. You are a doting husband yourself! Don’t feign ignorance," she scoffed. "I know all about the spying you do at Chyou’s movie sets and keep an eye on her team, especially on the male actors. Especially the intimate scenes."

"..."

"I don’t do that."

Chyou gasped, her heart squealing and fluttering with joy. "Aiyaaa, you do that Yating?"

He was dumbfounded. "I don’t. I am not an insecure husband."

Guiying scoffed. "Yeah, sure. You trust Chyou, but you don’t trust her colleagues."

His brow twitched.

"You pay attention to your novel!"

Chyou jumped to hug him and kissed him on his cheek. "Aish, Yating. You don’t have to hide your true feelings from me~ I am all open to you spying on the sets~"

He grimaced. "You shouldn’t."

"But you are so cute!" She hugged him harder.

Jin threw a dry look at the couple.

"Stop throwing dog food."

Chyou pouted. "Then you should join us in throwing dog food instead of stopping us. Why is a handsome bachelor like you still a bachelor?"

"..."

He gritted his teeth. "Can we come to the main point!?"

On the other side, Guiying looked up at Alix and smiled. "Hello, Miss. Ren."

Alix stared at her with an indecipherable gaze. It was as if she was peering into her very soul, making Guiying blink twice in confusion. She waved her hand at her.

"Miss. Ren?"

Her stupor broke and she slightly cleared her throat. "Hello."

Guiying wondered what was bothering her. She looked a little lost to her.

Alix alternated her gaze between Guying and Yating, pressing her lips in silence. She could see some scribblings on Guiying’s notebook, which was definitely related to her writing and work.

I wonder…what is she writing about this time?
