COLD CEO AND ARROGANT WIFE, VOLUME 4 - Season 7 Episode 4

And as they all looked at the number on his dice, the ladies looked at him with a complicated look in their eyes. Hyson rubbed his nose and tried to hide his smile. He couldn’t help it. He was already familiar with his terrifying luck. He once even bought a lottery ticket to test it. Well, the answer was the same as right now.

He won!

Again!

This time, he ended up with the lowest number while He Rou had the highest number. According to their new rule, he still won which baffled everyone around the table.

Seeing their accusing gazes, Hyson decided to just be a gentleman and said, “Since it’s the lowest number, how about we count it as I lost?” He looked at them as they silently just stared at him and added, “You can just ask the question, sister-in-law.”

He Rou was startled awake from her daze and nodded her head. “Yes, yes. I’ll ask!” She lowered her head and mumbled, “But what should I ask?” It had to be said that at this table, she knew about Hyson more than even his manager Li Xinxin. So, she was at a loss now. From her time spent with him in the past few days, she also knew that he had never been in love and he never kissed anyone either. So, asking about such a thing was pointless.

She already knew the identity of his best friend whom he loved to bring up in every discussion. So, she couldn’t talk about that either.

She thought hard about it while Hyson asked, “Is it that difficult to come up with a question?”

He Rou finally made up her mind and asked, “Do you hate anyone at the moment?”

Hyson frowned when he heard that question and then shook his head immediately. “Hate is a strong emotion. It’s quite exhausting. And I avoid emotionally exhausting things.”

He Rou didn’t think she’d get to hear such an answer from him. But Hyson didn’t think there was anything wrong with his answer. He had always avoided love and hate. Maybe it was the influence of Raelle or his own childhood but he realized that hating even his childhood bullies was tiring and it drained him. And then he was left with no energy to act like the happy-go-lucky son he was to his mother.

That’s why he chose to completely distance himself from such tiring emotions.

Then the game continued. And once again, Hyson dominated the game with his winning streak. It got to the point that he was feeling a little embarrassed now since all these ladies were now drunk. Oh, what a sinner he was!

He scratched his brow and suggested, “How about I let you all ask me one question each as compensation?” He couldn’t think of anything else. Was it really his fault that he won? Luck was also a strength and not everyone had it!

His suggestion got the tipsy ladies excited and Sora was the first one to raise her hand to ask, “When was the last time you snogged someone?”

Hyson’s lips twitched. This girl was being petty now. Since he asked about her first kiss, she just had to get back at him like this? Well, whatever, they weren’t gonna remember anything anyway.

“Never!”

“Huh?” Sora looked at him dumfounded.

He Rou slapped her arm, “You wasted your question! He never kissed anyone!” She pushed her back and said, “Now, my turn. Would you go back in time if you’re given a chance?”

“No,” he answered. “That page of life has already turned. There is no need to go back to it.”

“Even if you are going back to re-write it?”

“Nope,” he still persisted in his answer. “The rawness of the first draft is always precious to an author. What makes you think re-writing it fun?”

Then he looked at Li Xinxin, “Sister Xin, your turn now.”

“Do you miss anyone from your past?” asked Li Xinxin or more like slurred.

“I don’t,” he told her. “I made sure to bring all those people into my present.”

Hyson turned to He Rou’s manager but that sister was so drunk by now that she passed out. Hyson was actually relieved to see that. And then he looked at Amiah and waited for her question. It can be said that right now, she was the soberest in the room apart from Hyson who didn’t drink at all.

For a long time, she didn’t ask anything just continued to look at his face.

“Director?” he called out to her. “Do you wanna ask anything?”

“What was your last dream about?” she asked casually thinking of a question.

But Hyson’s whole body stiffened once he heard that question. The last dream he had…

Taking a deep breath, he tried to joke, “Isn’t it too bland of a question?” He didn’t lie so he chose to avoid the question instead.

“Right, director!” agreed He Rou. “Be more serious here.”

Amiah shrugged and changed her question, “Then, do you think it’s easy to forget or forgive?”

“Both are not easy,” he replied seriously. “But if you have to choose one, I’d say forgetting is more difficult than forgiving. For instance, you can forgive someone for breaking your heart but your heart won’t be able to forget that pain. A criminal can be pardoned but the crime remains. It’s never forgotten.”

“You’re eloquent,” commented Amiah softly.

“Am I?” Hyson rubbed his nape and stood up. “I think it’s late now. I should get you all back to the hotel.”

Even the soberest Amiah wasn’t able to stand on her own without the help of the sofa much less the others. Hyson felt a headache coming and shook his head. He opened the door of the private room and whistled.

“Yes, young master!”

Hyson looked at the person who appeared before him and smiled at him, “Bring the others out and help me get these ladies back to the hotel.” After that, he turned around and looked at these ladies once again. Every single one was a piece of work. How can they drink so much?
