In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 161

“We're not elementary kids anymore. We don't need to do that to befriends.” Skylar gave Kai a judgmental look.

Kai chuckled and said, “I admire your simplicity.”

Skylar was not exactly pleased with Kai's compliment, as it could alsomean that she was dumb.

“Are you close with your cousin?” Skylar inquired while she sat andthrew a bottle of water to Kai.

Kai caught the bottle easily. He felt slightly annoyed and asked, “Whyare you so interested to know about my cousin? Do you know him?”Skylar blinked her eyes a few times and lied, “I've heard his namebefore.”

“Well, I'm sure the majority of the people have heard about him. Hisaloof personality and high status in the corporate world made him amysterious figure. He doesn't spend his time on casual meetups orhangs out with kids like us.”

Upon hearing Kai referring to himself as a kid, Skylar thought he wasway past the age to called himself that. However, it was true that Tobiaswas significantly older than them.

Seeing how she was silent, Kai continued to ask, “Why are you askingall these, anyway? Are you interested in him?”

Skylar pursed her lips slightly, thinking of a reply to Kai. How should Ianswer him? It's not like I can just blurt out to him that I had slept withTobias.

“You're overthinking it. I'm just asking so that we'll have something totalk about.” Skylar smiled faintly, showing her dimples. Kai wasmesmerized by her cute smile.

“ Well, this topic is boring. Why not ask me about my favorite food ormy favorite game? Or even tell me what you like so we can replace somecommon interests.” Kai wanted to showcase himself to gain Skylar'sinterest.

She let out a big yawn and asked, “Look, I am not interested to knowwhat you like to eat nor am I interested to know what games you like toplay. I really hate staying up past bedtime, so good night.”

It was obvious that Skylar was trying hard to chase Kai out of her room.Kai looked at the clock and realized that it was indeed late. “Alright, restwell. Don't forget to lock the door. I'll be here in the morning to useyour toilet.”

Skylar was speechless. If she could, she would gift a toilet cubicle to himso that he would not disturb her in the morning.

Just as Kai was leaving Skylar's room, Mr. Yue caught him. Theatmosphere turned tense as the two men's eyes met. Kai could tell thatMr. Yue was displeased from the man’s darkened expression.

“Kai, what's going on with you and that lady? Now's not the time foryou to be dating around. There are rumors questioning about therelationship that the two of you share already! You're still a buddingartiste so please, don't ruin your career like that.”

Mr. Yue frowned at Kai.

Kai leaned against the wall and explained, “I am not dating anyone, Iwas just trying to make some friends. Besides, she already has aboyfriend.”

Mr. Yue saw through his act and exclaimed, “A boyfriend wouldn't stopyou from pursuing her anyway. I know you very well, you're notsomeone who gives up easily. Just promise me you'll be careful not toend up being used by her as a stepping stone.”

Kai smirked and said, “You are overthinking this. Skylar's not that typeof person.”

Mr. Yue chuckled. "You know, you are great in every aspect except forthat naivety that you have. I still think that you should stay away fromher for the sake of your career.”
