In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO novel Chapter 161

“We’re not elementary kids anymore. We don’t need to do that to be friends.” 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 also mean that she was dumb.

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

Kai caught the bottle easily. He felt slightly annoyed and asked, “Why are 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 name before.”

“Well, I’m sure the majority of the people have heard about him. His aloof personality and high status in the corporate world made him a mysterious figure. He doesn’t spend his time on casual meetups or hangs out with kids like us.”

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

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

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

“You’re overthinking it. I’m just asking so that we’ll have something to talk about.” Skylar smiled faintly, showing her dimples. Kai was mesmerized by her cute smile.

“ Well, this topic is boring. Why not ask me about my favorite food or my favorite game? Or even tell me what you like so we can find some common interests.” Kai wanted to showcase himself to gain Skylar’s interest.

She let out a big yawn and asked, “Look, I am not interested to know what you like to eat nor am I interested to know what games you like to play. 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, rest well. Don’t forget to lock the door. I’ll be here in the morning to use your toilet.”

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

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

“Kai, what’s going on with you and that lady? Now’s not the time for you to be dating around. There are rumors questioning about the relationship that the two of you share already! You’re still a budding artiste 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, I was just trying to make some friends. Besides, she already has a boyfriend.”

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

Kai smirked and said, “You are overthinking this. Skylar’s not that type of person.”

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