Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

Chapter 229 A Trip To Ai's Home City!

As Xing Bi was about to leave, she asked Ai with anticipation, "So, you will be officially joining Sky from tomorrow, right?"

Ai replied. "Ah. We are postponing it by a day. Mom said she wanted to meet Jun, so we are going to my hometown tomorrow to introduce him."

Her eyes sparkled. "Wow! You two are gonna meet your parents already? Hehe, that's a fast development~ Have you met Jun's parents?"

"Yes…"

"So, what about them? Does Jun's family like you?" She asked with a trace of uncertainty and concern in her voice, "Well, I can see that this dumbo here does…" she was talking about Nian, who was talking to Jun on the other side. "But parents are different. Jun is from a reaaaaally rich family, and I don't want to see them belittling you just because you don't share his status!" She harrumphed.

Ai felt warm with her concern, and a soft smile bloomed on his lips. "His parents are good. They are not discriminating at all."

She sighed in relief and patted her head. "That's good then. I am happy you found Jun. He seems really cold and unapproachable from outside, but he is very good to you. That's all that matters to me. As long as he treats you well."

Ai's gaze flickered with warmth and fuzziness. "Yes, Xing Bi. Jun treats me really well. He loves me a lot. I love him a lot too."

She pressed her against her chest again and cried. "You are so cute!" _{whose one eye was always on Xing Bi, felt extremely jealous.}

Why is Zhou Ai hogging all the love? Where is my part!?

"Listen to me, Bro!" Jun shook him, annoyed.

"I am listening. I will take care of Xing Bi's debt like I told you before."

Jun paused to find his words. He knew about the past life and about Xing Bi's death. Though it was supposed to happen ten years later, he couldn't be so sure anymore because many things were changing since Jun and Ai's rebirth. The fate was changing - of themselves and the people around them.

"It's not just about her debt. Just…be there for her," he scratched his chin. "We don't know who might suddenly become our enemy."

Nian frowned. "You are sounding so cryptic. Is Xing Bi in trouble that I don't know of?" He narrowed his eyes.

You act so goofy all the time, but why are you so uselessly sharp in these matters? Jun cursed him.

Outwardly, he smiled. "Nothing. You just pay attention to be careful to not let Xing Bi make you as her enemy."

"..."

"That won't be for long! I will win Xing Bi's heart in no time!" He puffed his cheeks.

"Well, good luck with that," Jun shrugged, "I hope your path may not be smooth sailing at all."

"You…" Nian gritted his teeth.

When he saw Xing Bi leaving, he immediately hopped to her side with imaginary dog ears perking on his head. "I will drop you home!"

Xing Bi ruthlessly declined. "No, thanks."

"But it's such a great time to be cuddly~~" _​

"Don't even think about it!" She glared at him.

They went away while bickering the whole way.

Ai felt Jun hug her from her back. "Finally, we are alone."

She kissed his cheek. "What do you think of them? Will Xing Bi give Nian a chance?"

Jun sneered. "Yeah, I hope she doesn't. I want to see him suffer."

She chuckled but then a sigh escaped her lips. "I am so jealous of you and Nian. You have such a good relationship."

Jun's pupils looked dead. "With what eyes do you see a good relationship between us?"

"Don't complain. You might bicker and argue, but you care for each other too. That's how siblings always are. I don't have a brother or sister," she pursed her lips, "so I always feel envious of you having siblings and cousins."

"But now you don't have to feel envious anymore," Jun made her turn and held her face, "My family is your family. So my siblings and cousins are your siblings and cousins too. You have got a biiiiiiig family now," he laughed. "Bro Nian already treats you as his sister. That's how he acts with Nuo at home too, just like how he behaves with you. You have many brothers and sisters now~"

Ai felt warmth flush in her heart. "It feels nice…"

A mischievous glint passed by his eyes. "Say…how about I make you feel even nicer?" He bit her ear and hushed his desire to her. "Tomorrow, we might not have the chance so let's have our fill tonight."

He carried her in his arms and walked towards his bedroom, shutting the door behind him and the sounds of their lovemaking soon reverberating in the condo.

Xuanhua.

Jun and Ai arrived in the city two and a half hours after leaving Beijing. Ai watched the familiar buildings and roads of her neighborhood which hadn't changed much since she left for Beijing to pursue her career. The gleam and shine in her eyes was unmistakable.

Jun could see her body radiating pure bliss as she looked out of the window. He silently chuckled and focused his attention back to driving.

A few minutes later, Ai said, "Stop, stop."

Jun did so and asked, "Isn't your house a little further ahead?"

"Yes. But I want to drop by the convenience store. Mom likes the crackers from this store. It's really tasty. So, I want to buy it for her."

"Cool. I will come with you."

"It's fine. I will be back in two minutes."

"Okay."

Ai hopped out of the car while Jun waited for her. He leaned back on his seat. But a moment later, a figure caught his attention from the corner of his eye.

A middle-aged woman had her back facing him, and he could see that she was intensely staring at the dog in front of her who was playing with a few dropped apples. Clearly, she wanted the apples back.

Jun looked away but for some reason, his body twitched restlessly when the woman didn't budge an inch after some time. Annoyed, he stepped out of his car and crossed the street to stand before her. "Can I help you?"

The woman then slowly lifted her gaze towards him and stared at him in silence.
