Imperfect Desires

Chapter 956 - Magical Fairy

For some inexplicable reason, Bo Jiu felt a bit envious of Xiu right now. She couldn't resist feeling this way. After all, the love and admiration in Asteria and Ava's eyes were really blinding. Even though they counted as just little followers of Xiu, at least, she had some followers.

Unlike people like Bo Jiu! She suddenly felt so useless because of this fact.? ??

"You're living around here?" asked Xiu.

"Yeah," answered Bo Jiu dispiritedly. "There is a new apartment complex around here. I just bought an apartment there."

"Oh," responded Xiu nonchalantly. "By the way, was Spring Festival the only reason for your visit back home this time?"

Bo Jiu shook her head, "No. I got a job offer here."

"A job offer?" asked Xiu. "That's great. What kind of a job is it that you found interesting enough to come back?"

Bo Jiu smiled as she told her, "The offer came from your father."

"Which one?" asked Xiu in confusion and a bit of surprise as well.

"Mr. Xin Zimen," answered Bo Jiu. "His organization scouted me to be a part of the cyber security department. It's a thrilling place where I get to use my hacking for a great cause. How can I not agree?"

"Wow! You're amazing!" praised Xiu making Bo Jiu blush a little. Xiu patted her shoulder, "I knew you're born for great things. How can a small enterprise hold back talent like you?"

Bo Jiu was flustered, "I'm not all that great."

"Tsk. How can you be still so unconfident in your own talent?" questioned Xiu. "I have golden eyes. If I said you're amazing then you are! Stop always going against me."

"Yes, no one goes against our Xiu," said Ava loudly.

Xiu pinched her nose, "Xiu's loyal supporter, wipe your mouth. You made a mess while eating."

Ava smiled sheepishly before she let Xiu wipe her mouth with a handkerchief. She didn't even think she was old enough to do it herself.

Bo Jiu smiled at them as she said, "Aiyo, you are having fun even on a normal and boring day like today. I am sure you'll have a blast at the Spring Festival." She sighed loudly as she kept her eyes on Xiu and continued, "And here I am. Poor me! My parents abandoned me. My sister is also happy with her husband and kids. I'm the pitiful one left alone on this festival of lights. Even my house will be cold on this warm festival. I'll just make some instant noodles to soothe my heart."

Xiu rolled her eyes at Bo Jiu, "You can stop your cheap acting. I was just about to invite you over for the Spring Festival. There is no need to add this drama for the spicy effect."

"Really?" Bo Jiu became excited. She threw caution out the window and hugged Xiu's shoulders saying, "Boss, you're the best. There is no way around it!"

Xiu shook her head at her, "Why do you still behave like a kid?"

"I also don't know why I become like this around you," stated Bo Jiu honestly.

"I know," said Asteria from the side. "Papa says Xiu is a magical fairy. She can instantly make others feel relaxed enough to drop down their defenses and be the real self of them around her."

Xiu didn't know how to react. How can her serious brother, Xiao Li say something like that to Asteria? Does that even make sense?

But then again she thought of her brother and smiled happily. It doesn't matter. Even if her brother said she was the worst, she'll still take it.

She couldn't even tell her niece that her father was lying to her. After all, she wasn't a magical fairy. Definitely had no magic. The only magical thing in her life was actually this life in itself!

Bo Jiu actually went along with Asteria as she said, "I think you're Papa is really smart."

"That's for sure," agreed Asteria. "Papa is Asteria's everything. Asteria love Papa the most in the world."

Bo Jiu smiled at this little girl and found her quite relatable. She also used to say her father was her superhero. But then again, wasn't it the same for every little girl?

"How's everything at home?" asked Bo Jiu to Xiu.

"Great," said Xiu.

"And how's everyone been?"

"Dylan's been spending every single free time of his in Italy so we rarely meet. But he'll be here at the Spring Festival since Cali has finally managed to take everything under control. Dylan might bring her with him. And at the latest, they will get married next year," said Xiu. "As for Ying Jie, she had been away for two years now. She had to go on a mission abroad but before leaving, she actually got the marriage certificate with Xiao Bobo."

"What? Really?" Bo Jiu couldn't believe it. "Did that actor got impatient?" She knew all about Han Bohai's love for Yan Ying. So she ?ssumed it was him who wanted to get married.

"No. It was Ying Jie who dragged him," said Xiu as she smiled at her. "She said she is scared that behind her back, her star will attract unnecessary attention from this dark world. And what if the dark people of this dark world tried to steal her star from her? Just so you know, the star here is referring to Xiao Bobo."

Bo Jiu had no words to say now. When did the situation reverse? Wasn't Han Bohai running after Yan Ying? How come, in the end, it was Yan Ying who got herself tied to Han Bohai before leaving?

"When is she coming back?"

"I did hear that she'll be back soon," answered Xiu. "It involves confidential information so I didn't probe further but Daddy did say that Ying Jie has accomplished her task already."

"And here I thought everyone would stick to each other," stated Bo Jiu.

"Everyone has their own lives and careers that they are passionate about. How can they sit around?" She looked at the little girls and said, "Always remember, to never give up your dream for anyone. It's not worth it."

Both of the girls nodded their heads.
