Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

Chapter 914: Cute trickery

"Jin!"

Jin saw Ai puffing her way towards him with her hands on her waist. "Where were you?"

Jin and Alix were just done with dancing. "Dancing?"

"Before that."

"Outside for some fresh air. Any problem?"

"Fresh air huh…" Alix whispered meaningfully that Jin's ears caught easily. He threw her a glare.

"I was searching for you!" Ai said with a hint of frustration.

"And now you have found me."

"Too late!" She complained while throwing a look at Shui, who was still dancing with Yuze. Her plan was to get them to be dance partners.

Ai pursed her lips and after brooding for a moment, she grabbed Jin's hand.

"What?"

"I am bored sitting in one place so let's dance," she chirped.

His brow twitched. "I don't want to dance with you."

"I am your sister-in-law."

He smiled. "Precisely why."

"I am also a naturally lovable and warm person. Who wouldn't want to dance with me?"

Alix stared at her, trying hard to not her lips twitch.

Ai pouted. "Just for sometime. Please?"

Jin released a sigh and took her hand. "You are impossible."

"I am convincing is what you should say hehe~" Ai grinned.

And so they went back to the dance floor. Jin tried hard to not focus his attention towards Shui, but the more she and Yuze laughed and talked, the more uneasy he felt in his heart. He just wished for this dance to get over as soon as possible.

Ai looked into his hurt gaze and slowly said, "This reminds me of that time."

He forcibly tore his gaze away from her and looked at Ai questioningly as he twirled her around once. "That time?"

"Mom and Dad's anniversary banquet. You and I were dancing just like now and Shui was dancing with Jun. And you are staring at Shui right now just like you did back then. Guess some things never change."

His gaze clouded with a glare but he couldn't find anything to retort back. So he ignored the accusation altogether.

"I was just wondering about Kang Yuze, that's all."

"Because you are concerned if he is the right man for Shui?"

He slightly gritted his teeth. "We aren't together, that doesn't mean I cannot even care about her as a friend. A childhood friend at that."

"Your eyes don't say that," she lightly smiled. "That's how you are so similar to Jun so much. Your tongue can wrap up a lie but not your eyes."

He took in a silent breath and said nothing. At that point, Ai started to feel dizzy and she stumbled a bit.

"Zhou Ai?"

"I feel…a little…weird…" Ai drowsily blinked her eyes.

"Ai?" His eyes widened and he caught her firmly. "Ai?" He patted her cheeks.

Shui's attention drifted to that side and her eyes immediately widened seeing Ai in a groggy state. "Ai!"

"Excuse me," she apologized to Yuze and rushed towards her.

"What happened to her?" She asked Jin.

"I don't know," he was slightly panicking. "She is suddenly not feeling well. I-I am not sure, is it because of the drinks here?"

She quickly reassured him. "It's okay, Jin. I think she is just feeling nauseous because of the pregnancy."

Ai hummed dazedly.

"Let me take her to her washroom."

"I will come too!" He anxiously blurted out.

Jin picked Ai up in his arms and hurriedly left towards the washroom with Shui. From afar, Alix was watching Ai's little play with interest.

Not bad…

From the same place, she also caught her sister, Mui, hovering around the bar area with one of the company employees. She held a glass filled with some scotch freshly served by the bartender. The employee left after some time and Mui turned towards the bar counter. Her back obstructed further view. But Alix faintly guessed that the bartender brought another drink.

She already wants another round when she hasn't even finished the first one?

Alix raised her brow.

Or…

She looked away for a moment, the light in her eyes glinting cunningly and a small smile forming on her lips.

Jin made Ai sit on a bench near the washroom while Shui brought a glass of water for her. "Ai, here. Drink some water. You will feel better."

"Hmm…"

Jin fidgeted with his hands. "Should I take her to the hospital? Wait, should I call Bro instead?"

Ai suddenly coughed hard and waved her hand. "I-I am fine…Just a little bit dizzy."

"Ai, are you feeling nauseous?" Shui asked with concern.

"A little perhaps…I will go to the washroom. Can you two wait for me?"

"Let me come with you too."

"No, no, I will be fine-"

Jin glared at her. "Don't be silly. Let Shui accompany you too. You cannot even walk straight."

Maybe I overdid with the acting part…Ai coughed.

"I will be fine. I will call for Shui if I need help," and she quickly walked away.

Jin shook his head. "She should have been at home resting…Ugh, I shouldn't have listened to her."

Shui patted his shoulder. "Don't blame yourself. Ai is not sick. It's the usual pregnancy symptoms. You have seen it during Ailun's time, right?"

"Yeah but I am supposed to take care of her and I-"

"You are looking after her," she chuckled. "Man, you are such a tsundere."

He scowled at her. "Huh?"

She snorted. "You claim that you dislike Ai so much but look at your face just now. You looked just like Jun, panicking and all. Very cute. Like brother, like brother, haha."

He glared at her.

"That glare is also cute. Just like Jun's."

A vein popped on his forehead and he angrily laughed. He pinned her against the wall with his forceful steps and smiled. "I can also show you that side of mine which is not so cute at all."

Blocked by his wide chest, Shui gulped a little as she looked up. Her breaths lost their rhythm.

Jin leaned closer to her face and whispered, "Shall I?"
