Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu

Chapter 275 Shanghai Fest Arc (29) : I Am Coming

Beijing.

Zixin put on the black coat and adjusted his shirt as he looked at his reflection in the mirror. He stared at himself for a few seconds before taking a deep breath.

"Hey, somebody is getting dressed up~" Zixin's mother, Chen Serena, stepped in carrying a tray with a cup of coffee. "Hmm, you always dress your best, but today you look different, even nervous for some reason."

Zixin didn't show much of an expression, but his heart was indeed racing faster in his chest. "Nothing."

"Nooo. My radar is sensing something," Serena pouted as she looked at him up and down. "Is it a woman?"

"No," he instantly denied.

"Liar liar pants on fire! It's definitely a woman! So, so who is she?" Serena sparkled and between the mother and the son, she looked more like a child right now. "How did you meet her? What is her name? What does she do? You have to tell me everything!"

Zixin said nothing, but the tips of his ears were clearly blushing.

Serena sobbed. "You are just like your grandpa. My father-in-law is really cute, but he is so silent that it's impossible to know what he is thinking. You make the same expressions as him. By the way, where are you heading? Can you tell me that or is that a secret too?"

"Shanghai."

"Oooo to meet a woman?" She eagerly hopped.

Zixin said nothing.

"Bro, don't be like this!" Yubi dashed into his room and crashed to hug him. "Why are you keeping secrets from us? Even if there is a woman you like, what's wrong in sharing it with us? You clearly told Yunru. What is this partiality!? Yunru and I are twins! How could you favor that puppy idiot over me?" She shed fake tears.

"Yunru doesn't know anything," Zixin plainly countered her.

"That's not true. He is in Shanghai and now you are going too. You definitely told him something. How could you leave your pretty and dearest sister out of the loop like this?"

Serena gravely nodded.

"Don't worry. You can tell me. I won't leak it to Mom or Dad."

"Hey!" Serena complained. "I thought we were in this together!"

Yubi seriously said, "Siblings trust is more important."

Serena flared up her nostrils. "Children forget all filial piety once they grow older."

She ignored her daughter and sheepishly grinned at her son. "Zixin, tell me no! Who is that woman? Why are you feeling so shy to admit it?"

Zixin kept his silence. But Serena and Yubi kept drilling holes into him with their searing eyes that wanted to know the truth at any cost.

He looked impassive but inwardly, he was sweating secretly. It was hard to ignore their gazes. He looked away, but the mother-daughter pair popped up in front of his vision wherever he moved his eyeballs. This happened a couple of times, but he never lost patience.

Eventually, he pursed his lips. "I am only going to meet her."

Their eyes illuminated like stars in the sky. They had tons of questions in their mind. "Oh my God! You really have someone you love? What is she like?"

He said nothing.

Serena's mouth twitched.

"Well, does she live in Shanghai?"

No answer.

Yubi asked with anticipation, "How did you meet her?"

Silence.

"Oh come on!" They exclaimed in unison helplessly. "You seriously are like your grandpa. Why are you hiding it from us?"

"I don't know if she will say yes," he quietly spoke.

"Yeah well but-" Serena choked and jerked her head in shock as she just realized what she heard. "You are going to confess to her?"

Silen-

"You dare keep your mouth shut, and you will have it from me Chen Zixin!" She glared at him.

That was his mother's ultimatum and that was it.

Yubi cleared her throat and eyed her brother secretly.

You know not to mess with Mom now.

Zixin pressed his lips together again. "Yes."

Serena clapped her hands in delight. "That's so wonderful! What was there to hide in this?"

"I don't know if she will agree," he calmly repeated.

Yubi wrapped her arm around his and hugged him tightly. "How can she not agree? You are the most dashing, handsome, caring and coolest guy in the whole world! Any woman would be blind not to say yes to you!"

Serena pinched his cheeks. "I hope things go well for you. But even if she doesn't say yes, you don't have to keep it from us. I am your sweetest mother. Whether you succeed or fail, I should know everything about my son. I just don't want to see your smiles but your pain too. It's not good to take in everything by yourself."

Zixin thought about it and nodded.

Yubi asked, "So, so! Will you bring her here for us to meet?"

Clearly, they were excited for this more than anything.

"If she says yes first."

"Oof! You are worrying too much!" Yubi flicked her elder brother's forehead. "If she knows you well, she will never reject you. I have full faith!"

Zixin ever so softly smiled, shooting an arrow right through her heart. "See, this is what I was talking about. Your eyes and smile are so beautiful. How can anybody bear to reject you?"

"You are getting cheeky," he commented.

"I was always cheeky," she stuck out her tongue.

Serena tiptoed and kissed her son's forehead. "I wish you all the best. Go get her!"

His gaze softened. "I hope so."

"It's not just hope. It will definitely happen."

Yubi said, "So you will meet Bro Jun and that idiot Yunru too. Oh by Bro Jun I remember! I heard that he secretly kidnapped Feng Wuhan, Bro Zixin's competitor. Why so?"

Serena wore a solemn countenance. "Jianyu told me that Jun told him that Feng Wuhan was planning to harm Zixin. He had his suspicions, so he brought him in. But until now, he hasn't confessed anything."

Yubi harrumphed. "Doesn't matter. Since Feng Wuhan is in the base, there is nothing to worry about. Bro Zixin will be safe," she grinned.

Serena nodded. She worriedly said, "But still. Be careful on your way, okay Zixin?"

He smiled and hugged his mother and sister. "I will be fine. It's just a one day trip. I will be back by tomorrow."

"En."

As they left his room, Zixin let out a breath and looked at a certain picture in his phone with a gentle gaze.

"I am coming, Guiying."
