Chapter 1100: Sweet Couples

Chapter 1100: Sweet CouplesFor a while, Mu Chenyan seemed to be just admiring this 'masterpiece' before her eyes. The more she looked, the happier she became. She even giggled to herself like a young girl. Who knew what was on her mind but one thing was sure: her source of happiness truly was Raelle.         

This was an indisputable fact.     

Raelle let her admire her beauty in silence while Shui Xian didn't dare say anything to Mu Chenyan.      

"Ancients were right," came a pleasant and slightly sweet voice behind Mu Chenyan. "Beauties are intoxicating. Even more than the aged wine."     

Mu Chenyan turned around and smiled at the person who came.     

"Look who is here," Mu Chenyan walked over and hugged the woman. "Xiu, what a pleasant surprise to see you here."     

Xiu laughed at that, "Aunt MuMu, a pleasant surprise? Really? You invited me. You greeted me earlier too."     

"How is that a greeting? I didn't even talk to you for a full minute with so many guests." Mu Chenyan pulled her over and looked at Raelle, "Come, I'll introduce you to my Elle." She held Xiu's hand and added, "Elle, meet Bai Xiu. I have told you about her before."     

Raelle looked at the big smile on Xiu's face and greeted her, "Hello, Ms. Bai."     

"Hello, hello! It's so nice to finally meet you in person," said Xiu. Then she turned to look at Shui Xian and added, "You really chose a match for yourself."     

"It's me who chose him," Mu Chenyan chimed in.     

"Excellent choice," commented Xiu, and then felt a hand on her eyes and everything went dark in the world. She rolled her eyes and heard the familiar voice above her head, "Sweets, don't roll your eyes."     

"Baobei, where did you go?"      

Darren shook his head lightly when he heard that exaggerated tone of his wife and said, "I took my eyes off of you for a couple of minutes and here you are enjoying yourself way too much."     

"I always like looking at beautiful people," said Xiu as she turned around and held Darren's arm naturally. "But you're still my favorite."     

"You don't sound very credible. You should be glad that I love you and believe in your nonsense."     

Xiu turned serious, "I, Xiu can talk nonsense about anything but when you're involved, I only speak the truth and nothing else but the truth." Then she shook his arm and introduced him, "Meet my husband, Regan Darren Salvay."     

Shui Xian shook hands with Darren with familiarity. They might not have much contact but they had seen each other at business conferences over the years. So, they definitely were a little familiar.     

On the other hand, Raelle looked at Darren's face for a full minute before saying, "I know you."     

"You do?" asked Shui Xian in surprise. He didn't think Raelle had anything to do with the industry Darren worked in. Automobiles were something she never touched until now. So, he didn't know how she knew him.     

"Of course, I do," replied Raelle. "R.D. Salvay. I actually thought it was a shame when you announced your retirement and said goodbye to the tracks."     

Darren was slightly surprised when he heard that and then he smiled. His grey eyes set on her as he said, "It's been a while since someone has reminded me of my days when I was a pro car racer." He looked a little nostalgic, "I didn't think President Raelle would know about those days."     

"I have been to a couple of your races," told Raelle. "It was against my will but I was definitely part of the crowd. Even on the day when you won your last championship."     

"Wait! How come I don't know this detail?" asked Mu Chenyan in shock. She thought she was the meticulous one. How did she not even know this?     

"It's not surprising," said Darren casually. "It's been too long since I left the tracks."     

"Why did you leave?"         

Xiu looked at him worriedly and he held her hand to reassure her as he replied, "I had an accident. So, I couldn't continue that career even if I wanted to."     

"That's truly a shame," commented Mu Chenyan and actually decided to not talk more about this. She already realized she probed the wrong topic. After all, who would like to be reminded of their darkest time period?     

"I'd say, it's an honor that President Raelle had been a witness of the time I was a racer," said Darren casually as if the topic didn't hurt him at all. In fact, one could see that he was truly just nostalgic but didn't look hurt or uncomfortable talking about it.     

"I am envious of Raelle now," said Xiu. "I was never able to see him on the tracks."     

Darren chuckled helplessly as he held her shoulders and said, "Whose fault is that? You should have come into my life sooner."     

"No, it's your fault. You should have found me sooner!" retorted Xiu stubbornly.     

Darren looked at her stubborn look and knew he wasn't gonna win. And he never had a strong desire to win when it came to her so he easily gave in, "Yes, yes. I'm sorry. I should have done my best to find you sooner."     

"Tsk. You're just coaxing me now. Back then you're busy being the butterfly that wandered on all kinds of flowers."     

Mu Chenyan pursed her lips to hold back her laughter when she looked at them.     

Raelle pointed at them and said, "That's a good husband."     

"I am too," argued Shui Xian. "I also listen to only my wife. And see, I was never a butterfly who wandered around."     

"No, but you seem to do have a lot of bees trying to get your attention," said Raelle making Shui Xian speechless. Why should he suffer because of those bees? Did he like their attention or admiration? No, he didn't!     

Mu Chenyan couldn't laugh anymore when she realized that she seemed to be stuck between two extremely sweet couples. This sweetness was sticky and too much for her single heart.
