COLD CEO AND ARROGANT WIFE, VOLUME 2 - Season 4 Episode 92

Walking ahead, Hyson extended his hand towards Raelle who stared at his hand for a moment longer before taking it.

“Put on your glasses,” she advised him.

Hyson pulled out a pair of round glasses that looked like a replica of Harry Potter’s glasses. It made him look like a good student. Cute, innocent, and pleasing to the eyes. In fact, he looked like every girl’s first crush in College. That one senior whom they just couldn’t forget.

As they followed the crowd of people entering the amusement park, Hyson kept putting himself in between people and Raelle. He didn’t let anyone even bump into her.

“What is he doing, dancing around Saozi?” asked Zhai Yanjun to Shui Xian.

Shui Xian’s eyes curved as he answered, “He is protecting her.”

“Huh?” Zhai Yanjun was lost for a moment.

Shui Xian shook his head and hurried his steps to come to Hyson and Raelle. As he walked beside Raelle, he said to Hyson, “Are you trying to take over my job? She is my wife, I can protect her myself.”

“Your job is to love her,” retorted Hyson. “All you have to do is give her the respect she needs. I am still capable of protecting her.”

“What makes you both think that I need protection?” inquired Raelle.

“That’s what I had been thinking,” added Zhai Yanjun from behind. “I believe Saozi is powerful enough on her. She doesn’t need anyone to protect her.”

“There are a lot of people here,” Hyson pointed out to Raelle.

Raelle patted his hand saying, “You’re here to have fun. Not to keep an eye on me.”

Hyson nodded his head and started asking Shui Xian about where to go first. After all, the most experienced person there was Shui Xian.

Meanwhile, Zhai Yanjun mentioned to Raelle, “Saozi, when I said you’re powerful, I meant it.”

“Oh?” was Raelle’s bland response.

“Do you remember Major Xiang Wai who took you for the investigation?”

“I remember,” answered Raelle.

“She is suspended from her duty for a week,” told Zhai Yanjun. He was actually taken aback when he learned that the disciplinary committee called for Xiang Wai. And he was even more surprised to hear about her punishment. The reason given was that she was being reckless by disrupting the civilians which caused panic in people.

“That’s all?” this question came from Hyson.

“No,” stated Zhai Yanjun. “Since the time she joined the Special Forces, this is her very first time getting demerits as well. Also, her salary for the next six months is also cut as a penalty. Originally, she was supposed to get a promotion after this mission. But now…” he sighed out heavily, “She’s been removed from her position. The mission she had carried for over a year is taken from her now when she almost caught on with that organization. Now, someone else will get the credit for all her hard work.”

“Feeling bad for your ex-girlfriend?” inquired Raelle.

“It’s nothing like that,” Zhai Yanjun waved his handoff. “I was just a little surprised about it.”

“What’s surprising?” asked Hyson. “She was being impulsive and reckless by taking everyone from the clubhouse.”

“Honestly speaking, I have seen a lot of people getting away from even bigger messes caused by their impulses in the military. And if it was any other time, Major Xiang would have never gotten into this trouble. This definitely happened because she caused trouble to Saozi.” He knew that Special Forces had a lot more authority than them and they even held special privileges as well. That’s why Major Xiang’s punishment seemed out of ordinary to everyone. Even the comrade who told him about all of this said that Major Xiang must have offended someone she shouldn’t have.

Raelle gave Hyson a look who chuckled softly, “I still think Yanyan went easy on her.” He shrugged his shoulders saying, “But it’s a good thing that she is still our Yanyan. I’d have been mad if she stayed quiet.” For Hyson or Raelle, it was nothing new that Mu Chenyan would step up to protect them or even do things excessively. And Mu Chenyan had done things so excessively before that this kind of result seemed too easy for them.

“Do you think this is a light punishment?” asked Zhai Yanjun in surprise. “I believe you’re not understanding what her work means to her. She is way too casual about life. I don’t remember her taking anything seriously in her life except for her job. So, I think this punishment is quite cruel.”

“I thought you didn’t care about her,” Shui Xian placed his hand on Zhai Yanjun’s shoulder.

“Her work is important and others’ isn’t?” said Hyson. “Do you know how many hours Ellie lost because of her? Three! Do you know how much Ellie can earn in those three hours? Millions! Do you realize how much of a loss is it?”

Raelle held the back of Hyson’s neck and turned it towards the rollercoaster, “Stop being angry for me.”

Hyson looked at her face and took a deep breath to calm himself. He was, in fact, feeling quite angry. He suddenly turned around and looked at Zhai Yanjun saying, “Give a message to your ex-girlfriend for me. She better not pull such a stunt on my best friend again. I’ll kill her otherwise.”

Raelle pinched a strand of his hair between his fingers and gave him a tug saying, “You can’t even step on an ant. Stop acting heroically already.”

Hyson glared at Raelle, “Do you have to spoil my image like this?”

“Do you have an image to keep?” retorted Raelle.

“You’re way too protective,” commented Zhai Yanjun. “But I suddenly feel like passing on your message to Wai. It’d be fun to see how she reacts to it.”

“Are you all gonna argue standing here?” asked Shui Xian. “Let’s stand in the line or we’ll have to wait even longer.”

Raelle held his arm and Hyson’s arm and said, “Okay, let’s go.”
