I'm really not that ugly
"It's already broken. Breakfast is here." He smiled and kissed her on the forehead, once on both her swollen eyes, then once on the lips, "If you don't hurry, I'm going to eat everything. It's your favorite minced pork congee by the way."
Hearing that, Kai Xin quickly got out of bed and went to freshen up in the bathroom. When she was in the bathroom, her phone rang.
"Kara, phone."
"Unless it says mum, bro, dad, or work people then answer it."
DX looked at the caller ID, "Jane my bitch" and picked it up. Before he managed to say hello,
"Kai Xin, I'm so sorry! I shouldn't have said those stuff yesterday! You are the best person that I know and I don't care who you sleep with. Even if your sugar daddy is an old ugly balding man with buck tooth, I won't judge. Please forgive me!"
DX cleared his throat. He was wondering what had happened but he has an idea now.
"I'm really not that ugly."
The phone was cut off after few seconds of silence. DX looked at the phone and shook his head, wondering why would Kai Xin hung out with silly girls like Jane. Just as he was about to put it down, it rang again.
"Hello?" Jane asked sheepishly.
"Hi, Jane Chu."
"How do you know my name?"
"Your name was on Caller ID. Are you looking for Kara? She's in the washroom."
"Yeah, can you pass me to her?"
"I think based on what you said earlier, I should not do it." DX threatened. His protective nature was triggered as he coldly said, "I don't know what you said to her yesterday but she was a complete mess. If you are going to be judgmental, then I would prefer if you stay away from my Kara. She doesn't need judgemental friends."
"I… I'm sorry."
"I'm not the one you should apologize to." He snapped, " Jane, I don't care that you are her best friend. if you ever hurt my Kara again, I'd make sure that your life is 10x more miserable than hers now."
Another moment of awkward silence and DX can hear sobbing in the background. Suddenly, he heard a rustle and someone else spoke,
"Erm, hello, sir? You made my girlfriend cry."
"And you are?"
"Mo Shaoyun. Jane wants to apologize to Kai Xin. Please don't be harsh on her. She has been feeling miserable since yesterday and while I don't really know the full exact story, I know Kai Xin enough to know that she would be upset too."
"What do you want?" He replied curtly.
Mo Shaoyun was taken aback by the rudeness. For some reason, he was reminded of Kai Xin when he was first introduced to her.
"Please pass the phone to Kai Xin."
Kai Xin walked out at the moment, with her eyes still slightly swollen. Seeing the state she was in, DX really feel like throwing the phone away.
"Who was that ?"
DX glanced at her for a second before answering tersely, "Jane..and some punk."
Kai Xin frowned as she took over the phone, "Jane?"
DX sat on the bed as he watched Kai Xin talked to Jane. She shot him a glare when she heard from Jane what had just happened but DX merely shrugged and went out to the living room as if he had not done anything wrong. After another five minutes, she hung up and went to the living room where DX was lounging on the couch reading the newspaper.
The sunlight from the windows accentuates his ruggedly handsome look, making him look more dangerous than normal. Slowly, she made her way towards him and as she embraced him from behind, to better take in his intoxicating scent, she buried her face into his shoulder.
Smiling slightly from the affection, he reached up and gently caressed her head to assure her that everything will be alright. At that moment, no words were exchanged between them and none were required. It was only after a moment of silence, Kai Xin raised her face and whispered lovingly,
"Thank you."
