By the time the banquet ended, it was almost late at night.
After bidding farewell to Mr. An and the Su family, the group of nine headed towards the south, to Mu Jun's mansion as it was already late.
After reaching the mansion, the boys and girls freshened up before gathering in the garden.
under the dim light, the group of friends sat around the table, with a few snacks and beer cans placed on the table.
At one end sat An Ran and Lu Jin, cuddling each other acting sweet, while at the other end sat Su Yan and Si Ming who were flirting with each other saying sweet nothings.
Turning their head to the right and then to the left, they finally paused and looked at the middle where a weird specimen sat there, filling her stomach with different snacks while least bothered with couples who were throwing dog food everywhere.
Looking at Sia with an unamused face, Yang Jie asked "How I wish I could have been like her"
"Me too..." Shen Yi nodded his head and replied while still looking at the foodie who was wolfing the snacks
Furrowing his brows, Yang Jie suddenly asked "Is there anything that can pull her attention away from food?"
"Well...there is one" looking at Mu Jun who was looking at Sia entrance, he continued to say "but unfortunately, that person ended up with conflict"
"Who, third bro?" Yang Jie asked when he saw Shen Yi looking at Mu Jun
Turning his gaze back to Yang Jie, Shen Yi said "Who else other than him. He's awfully handsome which makes sister Sia who had this so-called Ugly syndrome drool on him"
"true....damn it! until Sister Sia appeared I never cared about beauty but now-"
before Yang Jie could finish complaining, Shen Yi butted in and spoke indifferently "There is no use of complaining. Even if you get plastic surgery you wouldn't be able to beat him when it comes to looks"
"...I know that but don't I even have the right to complain about my grievance? You are too hurtful' Yang Jie complained to which Shen Yi shrugged his shoulder indifferently.
Recalling something, Lu Jin suddenly turned to Sia and asked "By the way sister Sia, how did you get father-in-law to agree to our relationship?"
"..." 'This guy is insane'
"...." 'he is too into his imagination'
"...." 'Hmm, should I inform Mr. An about this? I wonder how he will react'
"...." 'Mr. An might cough blood seeing how shameless his future son-in-law is'
Shrugging her shoulder, Sia looked up and replied indifferently "Nothing, I just gave him those files which you and Si Ming found a few days back and helped him to defeat Mr. Rong and in return, I asked him to agree to your relationship"
Looking at Sia as if she was a goddess, Lu Jin cried "Sister Sia, you are really my goddess. I never thought you loved me soo much, I'm really indebted to you "
Rolling her eyes at Lu Jin, Sia sneered "Don't be too emotional. I did not do it for you, I did everything just for my girlfriend"
"...." 'Can't you at least pretend to be humble? you know you don't have to be truthful all the time'
Yang Jie who happened to remember something suddenly asked "By the way, what's with that insect group? you guys seem to have fought over something"
Sipping on the beer, Xiao Li replied indifferently "They tried to kidnap us but then they failed to do so" she said as if it was nothing serious
"What!" Yang Jie and the rest exclaimed in shock while Mu Jun just furrowed his brows
"When? Where? Why didn't you guys tell us anything to us?" Si Ming asked worriedly
"That's because we couldn't. Fortunately, Sia was there with us or else I don't know what would have happened to us" Su Yan answered
"What? Sister Sia? You guys, can you please tell us what happened in detail?" Lu Jin asked
"Fine, I'll tell. On that day when you guys left, we went shopping and we only returned when the sky was gradually turning dark. Just as we reached the dorm, An Ran received a call from an unknown number and the other pretended to be Lu Jin and asked us to come out, saying that a car was waiting for us which will take to us to where you were. Naturally, we agreed but Babe happened to notice something amiss and she was already aware that we were about to get kidnapped. On the way, Sia kept asking them a few questions to test those kidnappers but ultimately he fell into Sia's trap. When he could no longer tolerate her they finally revealed their true colors and then...blah blah blaaah"
As Su Yan narrated the story, the five boys listened to her seriously, afraid to miss even a single detail.
"All thanks to Sia, if not for her I don't know what would have happened to us"
When Su Yan finished narrating the whole incident, the five boys turned their heads and looked at Sia with mixed emotion.
Raising her eyebrows, Sia asked "What's with that expression? I know I'm beautiful but you don't have to gaze at me soo passionately"
"...." 'Can you try to be serious and not spoil the mood with your narcissistic joke?'
"Sister Sia, is it true? did you really know that they were not the people who were sent by us but instead they were kidnappers?"
Sipping on the beer, Sia nodded her head innocently
"What Su Yan said is that true?" Si Ming asked
"hmm" Sia nodded her head again
"Did you really beat the kidnappers?" Yang Jie asked
"mmm"
Pouting his lips, Lu Jin gazed at An Ran worriedly.
Patting Lu Jin's hands gently, An Ran smiled and said "Don't worry nothing happened to us. With Sia around, forget about hurting us the kidnappers couldn't even save themself from her lashing"
"Hmm" as if to reassure himself, Lu Jin tightened his arms around her waist and pulled her into his embrace and hugged her tightly.
Gazing at Sia deeply, Shen Yi suddenly asked "How did you know...they were kidnappers and not the people sent by...us?"
Placing the beer can down, Sia leaned against the chair and said "Well, their plan was good but there were too many loopholes"
"Like how?" Yang Jie asked curiously
"Yeah, even I'm curious. How did you know about their plan?" Su Yan asked while looking at Sia curiously
"Do you want to know?" Sia asked with her eyebrows raised
