Shadow In Your Mind [ARC 1- 5]

Chapter 40 - Here to dig something from her?

XG 40 - Here to dig something from her?

Kang Xunsu chewed on a piece of tender meat, thinking that while Chen Yibo had cooked the meat right, there does not seem to have any seasonings added in it. Even so, it was still an amazing standard for a young master's cooking. "There's no reply from the big boss?"

Seated around the dining table, other than the two little masters, only Kang Xunsu and Noodle joined them for dinner, while others were still resting. They arrived at the villa late after they finished carrying their luggage.

Wong Xue Guo, who was bitterly complaining about Chen Yibo's craft in cooking that was way better than she assumed in her mind, pulled out her mobile phone to check. "No."

Her father must be dealing with what he planned to do on this island. With that thought in mind, she was hesitating whether to call him or not, in fear of disturbing him. Messaging was the only way.

The wait for his reply was agonizing. She was acting like a phone addict, unable to part from it or able to resist occasionally looking up the screen to check for any message.

"Xunsu, do you know why father wants to come to this island?"

Kang Xunsu shrugged. "I think only your mother, and possibly Aurora, would know why."

Wong Xue Guo's legs swung back and forth under the table. "You used to work for my father before staying with my mother, right?"

"Huh..." Kang Xunsu rested his chin on his palm, lazily chewing on the meat. "Who told you?"

"You told me."

"... I'm pretty sure I will remember if I did. Little Princess, since when did you become a liar, huh?"

Wong Xue Guo presented him with an apathetic stare. "For you to have seen Father's godson once or twice, it means you used to stay beside my father. When my mother went to visit father, you never go along. With mother's unfriendliness towards him, I doubt he ever visited our home?"

Wong Xue Guo could never remember the earliest memory of meeting Kang Xunsu. It could be said he had been by her side ever since she could remember, even the possibility of already being under employment since her birth.

"You haven't even asked others if they had seen Chin Chun before." Kang Xunsu pointed his fork at Noodle, with half-eaten meat dangling on it.

"I have never seen him before!" Noodle quickly reported. "I've already told Miss!"

Kang Xunsu was dismissive of Noodle's reply. "Noodle is only with us, like a year ago? He won't know so much anyway."

Wong Xue Guo tapped her spoon onto her plate with impatience. "I don't want to know if the others have seen Chin Chun or not. What I want to know is whether you used to be a gangster like my father before switching to a bodyguard job."

In the past, she often tried to dig out Kang Xunsu's past and was only able to find out he was an orphan illegally shipped to Hong Kong when he was just a baby. He grows up in the streets, doing random jobs which he never elaborated on. When she tried to press for more, he would then feed her L.L.'s story instead.

"Why do you want to know?"

"Are you still friends with my father's current gang members?"

"Why do you want to know that?" Kang Xunsu stared at her in puzzlement.

Chen Yibo asked, "You want their phone numbers?"

Wong Xue Guo teased. "Hey, Xunsu. Yibo is smarter than you. And here you claim you know me well."
