Chapter 865 - Are You Prepared To Know The Truth?

After Jiang Ying Yue put Little Jun to bed and left Ice Cream and Popcorn to accompany her sleeping son, she headed to her adjacent room where her friends were waiting for her. Dom was grilling the red-faced Long Jinjing about her relationship with Lu Zihao.

The TV on the wall was playing a video on demand episode of Dom's favourite romance drama of the season"Our Love, Our Destiny". The first season of the highly-rated drama adaptation based on the popular ReadNovelFull with the same title had already finished airing but Dom liked to re-watch his favourite episodes.

Iris Long and Jin Chonglin's voices harmonized beautifully together in the heart-fluttering theme song, "Shining Eyes", as it played in the background while the male and female leads stared deeply into each other's eyes.

The friends all stopped what they were doing to watch the scene. Dom started squealing and bouncing on the bed as the male and female leads' heads started inching closer for a romantic kiss. Even though he already knew what was going to happen, it didn't lessen his excitement.

After the show ended, the three friends sighed dreamily at the romantic episode that they just watched. Then Dom remembered that he was grilling Long Jinjing before he got distracted by the drama.

"I heard that you're not going to sleep in your usual guest bedroom but will be staying with Mr. Yummylicious Big Brother Boss in his room," he said while waggling his eyebrows. "Hehehe."

Long Jinjing turned red and looked away, feeling too shy to meet both of her friends' eyes. "Iyes. That's what NiZihao wants."

"How about you?" Dom asked. "Is that what you want?"

She flushed more deeply before nodding.

"Kyaaaaaaah!" Dom grabbed a pillow and started hitting Long Jinjing with it.

Both Long Jinjing and Jiang Ying Yue couldn't help but laugh at his antics.

"You go, girl! Gosh! I'm feeling a little jealous! My gorgeous and fabulous self also wants to fall in love! Dear future lover, where are you? Oh! Are you even in this dimension? Or are you going to stay in my dreams?"

Jiang Ying Yue continued laughing while Long Jinjing continued to avoid his eyes. She became subdued when Dom mentioned that he ALSO wanted to fall in love, indirectly referring that SHE was in love with Lu Zihao. Thankfully, her friends assumed that she was only being shy like always and didn't figure out her confusing thoughts about her real feelings for her 30-day boyfriend.

Wanting to change the topic, she asked the two of them, "Do you have any idea about what the three of them are talking about in private?"

The two became silent after her question.

"I honestly don't know," Dom eventually said after thinking about it. "I think something happened between the three of them and created some sort of tension. Boss always looked sad andhmmworried, I guess, whenever Big Brother Boss' name was mentioned in the past few days. Even Sir Boss' expression would become sort of tight."

Jiang Ying Yue nodded, confirming Dom's words.

"So I think that Big Brother Boss must've done something to upset both Boss and Sir Boss, but that's just my speculation. We don't know what really happened. But whatever the case may be, I'm just glad that Big Brother Boss decided to return here again. All of us missed him! I'm sure that the three of them would be able to resolve whatever issues they may have with each other."

"Oh." Long Jinjing felt bad for asking. She also felt the slight tension earlier between Lu Zihao and the couple. Then she became worried. "Little Sister Xiulan is pregnant. I hope that whatever they're talking about right now won't be too upsetting for her."

"Sir Liwei and Sir Zihao both love Xiulan very deeply," Jiang Ying Yue said. "I'm sure that they'll take care not to upset her."

Dom nodded.

Long Jinjing still felt worried but seeing her friends' trust in the two men, her worry eased a little. Perhaps she could ask Lu Zihao either later tonight or tomorrow about what he talked about with her sister and brother-in-law.

Wait.

No, she couldn't do that.

He didn't like her prying too much in his private life. Her mood sank upon remembering his terms in their agreement. However, she already agreed to all of them. Although she felt curious, she had to restrain herself from asking too much information about his private life. Sighing, she could only force herself to feel satisfied by their current arrangement.

Fortunately, she had her friends to distract her tonight from thinking too much about Lu Zihao and their unorthodox relationship. She kicked Lu Zihao to the back of her mind and joined her friends in gossiping about random topics.

Inside Iris and Jin Liwei's suite, the lights were turned low to dim mode. Iris recently disliked the lights being too bright during the night because her head would start hurting.

At the moment, the suite's living room was silent. Iris and Jin Liwei sat together on one couch while Lu Zihao leaned against the wall by the window. He wasn't looking at the couple but gazing at the darkness outside instead. There was a closed-off feeling surrounding him. He looked like he didn't want to be in this situation right now.

"Big Brother," Iris called.

Lu Zihao still didn't move but his pupils looked at them out of the corner of his eyes.

"I want to tell Liwei everythingabout us. About who we were in our past lives."

His jaw tightened. "If I say no, are you going to listen?"

She looked down. "No."

He sighed. "Do what you want."

Her expression brightened a little and became hopeful. "Really? So you agree?"

"I don't like this nor do I want to agree but what can I do if your mind is already set to tell your man everything?"

She bit her lower lip. Jin Liwei wrapped his arm around her shoulders and gave her a gentle squeeze to encourage her.

Finally, Lu Zihao faced them. His intense gaze, however, was set on Jin Liwei. "Are you prepared to know the truth?"
