COLD CEO AND ARROGANT WIFE, VOLUME 4 - Season 8 Episode 4

Hyson was very uncomfortable with his mother’s tears but he couldn’t do anything except stroke her back. But he didn’t want to leave her alone at this time as well, knowing well enough that she’ll cry even more. At least, right now, he was able to hug her.

Seeing how she finally stopped crying, Hyson pushed her away a little and wiped her face with a tissue. “Don’t waste any more tears. If Yanyan found out, I’ll be so dead.”

Yue Yue hit his chest and he yelped as if he was in real pain, “Don’t kill me.”

Noticing her anger, he stopped pretending and chuckled, “Okay, I won’t mess around now. But you have to stop crying now.”

Yue Yue sniffled and nodded her head. Thinking of something, she said, ‘You should eat something and then take some rest. After that, go back to the hospital. Raelle needs you in this situation.’

Hyson smiled helplessly at her, “Mum, the one she needs is already with her. As her best friend, I can’t offer her the support she needs right now. It’s better to let Xian Ge stay with him. She’ll feel better with him around.”

Yue Yue looked at him unhappily, ‘How is that the same? You’re her friend. You should also be there for her.’

“Who said I’m running from my responsibility? I’ll go to her, don’t worry.”

Yue Yue was finally satisfied with his answer. ‘I know you’re smart but still, don’t mention the child in front of Raelle. This is a difficult time for her. Even though she is a strong person it won’t change the fact the loss is big this time. I understand how lost she must be feeling. No, it might even be worse for her since she already has to expend extra effort in understanding feelings.’

“You understand her?” asked Hyson as he raised his brow at her.

Yue Yue was silent for a moment before she nodded her head and stroked his cheek as she told him, ‘I almost you once. And I remember how I despised myself for being so careless. So, yes. I do understand her.’

Hyson was hearing this for the first time and he wasn’t sure how he was supposed to react to this information that he almost died even before coming to this world. But do you know what was worse? It was knowing the fact that his mother was all alone in that time of despair. At least, Raelle had everyone to support her.

“Well, aren’t I alive? Safe and sound? Stop reminiscing about that time.” He held her arm and pulled her up, “Now, come with me. Let’s have lunch. You must be tired from shedding so many tears. We should recharge you. And fill up your tears storage space for future purposes.” He just wanted to change the topic and move on from this depressing topic that would only make him feel worse. But that comment earned him a slap on his arm but he only laughed in response. “Hmm… I wonder how long Yanyan will take.”

‘She won’t be so easily satisfied.’

Hyson nodded in agreement with his mother’s statement, “That’s true.”

They were about to go out when Yue Yue held Hyson’s arm and stopped him. Hyson looked at her in confusion, “What’s wrong, mum?”

Yue Yue pursed her lips and hesitated a little. But eventually, she decided to say it.

‘Fai, I need you to promise me something.’

Hyson wasn’t even surprised when she said something like that. And oddly enough, he even knew where this was going. How could he not understand his own mother? He was used to hearing her silence. So, it wasn’t surprising that he could tell what she wanted from him. However, he never had the heart to go against her either.

“Just say it, mum,” he told her. “Have I ever disappointed you?”

Yue Yue shook her head and mouthed, ‘No, my son is the best. Sometimes, I think I don’t even deserve you.’

“And then you say why I talk so much nonsense. Isn’t it all inherited from you?”

Yue Yue narrowed her eyes at him but didn’t say anything regarding that. She held his hands and looked into his eyes, ‘Son, I just hope you don’t ever hate your father.’

“You already know I don’t hate him,” replied Hyson.

Yue Yue nodded her head, ‘I know. I want to remind you, that I always wanted you to grow up in a loving environment. Don’t let the hate get to you.’

“Yes, yes,” said Hyson casually. He was so used to hearing this by now. All his life, his mother only asked him to be kind and loving towards people. She wanted him to be a good boy and he became one. At least, he seemed like one. “Now, can we go and eat something? The cats and dogs inside my stomach have stopped running by now. Because even they are too hungry to make a scene at this point.”

Yue Yue chuckled silently as she held his arm and walked out with him.

As they walked into the dining room, Hyson was reminded of something as he asked his mother, “Mum, do you know Ellie’s dad?”

Yue Yue shook her head immediately.

Hyson went silent when he got that reply. He looked at Xiang Hulin who was sitting beside Grandfather Xiang and narrowed his eyes. Why did he have this nagging feeling this General knew his mother even if she didn’t know him? But how was that possible?

Almost immediately, his mind flashed with a thought. Right! How could he forget that Xiang Hulin and Zhai Kuijun were friends? However, even if they were friends was it possible for Xiang Hulin to hear about Yue Yue from Zhai Kuijun.

“Little Fai, come and sit down. I asked them to prepare fish meatballs for you,” came Grandfather Xiang’s voice.

Hyson was instantly pulled back from his thoughts and grinned as he shrugged to himself. Whatever! The thinking was tiring. He should fill his stomach before digging into these thoughts further.
