Imperfect Desires

534 Is It Too Late?

The photos that Xiu clicked of the plushies were conveniently sent to her friends' circle but she specifically tagged one person; Dylan Qiu!

And our dearest Dylan Qiu who was currently sitting in the waiting area before the fitting rooms scrunched up his face when he saw Xiu's post that had the caption: 'Cute plushies or my Baobei? Of course, my Boabei is what I choose anywhere anytime! However, he comes with all those plushies... That's just a bonus.

P.S. My family's husband is still better than a greenhorn boyfriend surnamed Qiu.'

Dylan really wanted to get inside the phone screen to beat Xiu for dragging him into this. Seriously, he wanted to know how her mind actually worked. How come she always made him so angry without even trying?! Was plushies something to fight over?! How could she not get over it even after two weeks?!

However, this time around he was feeling more helpless than angry when he saw this post.

"What are you looking at?"

Dylan turned his head to look at the smiling face of Francesca beside him and tilted his phone's screen towards her. Her brows quirked up and when she saw the photo a surprise flashed through her eyes, "Oh! When did my son start liking these toys?" Before Dylan could add anything she gushed, "He looks so adorable. I never knew my son could actually look so cute."

"Really?" Dylan gave her a disbelieving gaze.

Francesca hit his arm saying, "I mean my son always looked so handsome. He never gave off a cute vibe. He's the cuter even when he is holding those cute toys. I want to squish him right now."

Dylan's face twitched as he said, "Can you stop flaunting your love for your son? It's making me jealous for no reason!"

Francesca pinched his cheek. "Baby boy, I love you as well! But you always look cute. It's different for Regi."

"Let me tell you, being called cute is actually an insult to me." Dylan couldn't help pointing out.

"But for mothers, their sons are always cute," Francesca also pointed out. Dylan could only sigh. "Did my daughter-in-law posted it?" She read the caption all over again. "Eh? Is she calling you a greenhorn boyfriend?"

Dylan's face darkened. "Who else is surnamed Qiu here?"

Francesca giggled, "That means she is insulting you?"

"Aren't you very happy about this?" Dylan asked.

"I'm sorry, baby boy but I love whatever she does or say. Whatever she does makes me want to cuddle her."

Dylan snorted, "I thought only my best friend was madly in love with her but it seems my best friend's mother is even more madly in love with her."

Francesca grinned at him not refusing anything he said.

"How does this one look?"

Both Francesca and Dylan turned their faces to look at Cali who came out of the changing room in a royal blue lace dress.

"Is this one better or the previous one?" questioned Cali in a distressed manner. It was giving her a serious headache since she couldn't decide what to buy. She had specifically called both Dylan and Francesca out to ask for their opinions. After all, Dylan's sister's wedding was the first time she was gonna meet Dylan's family. She didn't want to slip up in any way.

"Everything looks gorgeous on you," replied Dylan.

However, looking at the current situation she was even more distressed. How come these two people were of no help at all? Whatever she wore, they both would say it looks amazing. Although they looked sincere, it wasn't very convincing for her since it wasn't helping at all!

"I really should have asked Xiu out for this shopping spree," she sounded bitter and regretful.

Dylan laughed at that saying, "Sorry to disappoint you honey but Xiu has flown away to her Baobei. You can't find her."

"What? Wasn't she just here yesterday?" inquired Cali in surprise. How come she didn't hear anything about this?

Francesca immediately chimed in happily, "Isn't it amazing? This makes me love her even more. She missed my son and ran to him. How romantic! I really can't stop loving this girl."

To prove his words, Dylan even showed her Xiu's post as he added, "Expect the unexpected from this girl. Even if she says she won't be rash, when it comes to her Baobei, she loses her brain."

This remark earned him a slap on head from Franscasa who frowned unhappily as she said, "Stop badmouthing my daughter. Also, stop calling my son, Baobei. It only feels good when Xiu says it. You're creeping me."

"How biased you are, eh?" Dylan muttered to himself. More like, complained to himself since he couldn't do anything else now. Since he wasn't allowed to badmouth, he turned to gush over his own girlfriend saying, "This really looks good on you. Why don't you just buy all the dresses you tried on? Your boyfriend is rich. Just take it all."

"Are you forgetting that she is also rich?" asked Francesca making Dylan's face stiff.

Of course, he didn't forget it. He just didn't think someone would even point that out. What else could he show off before his own girlfriend now?!

"You both are the worst shopping partners ever!" said Cali as she squinted her eyes at Dylan and Francesca. Since Francesca never looked like she was from the older generation, no one ever treated Francesca like it either. So, the relationship she shared with Dylan and even Cali was just like a friend. She definitely didn't mind any of Cali's words.

"I know someone who can be the best shopping partner," said Dylan.

"Who?" Both Cali and Francesca were curious to know the answer.

"Of course, the shopping queen Nora Cartwright! Nothing can ever go wrong on shopping with her by your side!"

Both Cali and Francesca looked into each other's eyes and shared the same opinion as him. They both had heard about Nora's shopaholic nature from Xiu. And let's not forget how Xiu boasted that her best friend was the best when it came to shopping. And these women trusted Xiu's words wholeheartedly!

"Is it too late to call her here?" asked Cali looking at Dylan expectantly. Because she knew if she stayed with these two, she'll get nowhere!
