COLD CEO AND ARROGANT WIFE, VOLUME 5 - Season 10 Episode 19

When he realized that the question was asked by a man, he paused and looked around. Only then did, he see Zhai Kuijun. When did he come? Hyson frowned to himself.

While Zhai Kuijun also had a weird expression on his face after getting that answer.

“Why are you here again?” asked Hyson and earned himself a smack on his head from his mother. He looked at her in disbelief. Just a second ago, she used the same hand to caress his head so lovingly, and now this? Why did women love to change so fast?

She glared at her son, ‘Is that a question you should be asking a guest?’

Hyson licked his lips and sniffed, “Sorry! That was thoughtless of me.”

“That’s okay,” said Zhai Kuijun. “It’s me who came unannounced.”

“Troubles always come unannounced,” muttered Hyson to himself. Zhai Kuijun didn’t hear him but Yue Yue did. She pulled his ear.

‘Behave yourself! Where are your manners?’

Hyson rubbed his ear. He decided to show his best side before this man because of course, he couldn’t let anyone from his mother’s past point at him and question his upbringing. That’d be equivalent to calling his mother incompetent and he didn’t wish to see that.

After sorting out his thoughts, Hyson greeted Zhai Kuijun, “Hello, Uncle! It is indeed surprising to see you here. After all, Uncle Lin is not home these days.”

“Oh, I didn’t come for Hulin,” replied Zhai Kuijun.

Hyson pressed his lips together, “You came for my mother?”

“Yes,” answered Zhai Kuijun honestly.

Hyson nodded his head in understanding, “Then please, come inside. Why are you just standing in the hallway? Sit down in the living room. I’ll tell the kitchen to send something to drink for you. What would you like to drink by the way?”

Seeing his enthusiastic welcome all of a sudden, even Zhai Kuijun was caught off guard. Yue Yue rolled her eyes at her son who was very good at looking like an obedient and well-behaved son in front of strangers. But then she looked at Zhai Kuijun and couldn’t help thinking about how her son wasn’t just her own, he also was this man’s son but right now, Zhai Kuijun and Hyson were nothing but strangers.

She immediately threw these thoughts from her mind and decided to relax. It was better this way. Strangers! There was no need to bring any trouble to anyone’s life. Whether it was Zhai Kuijun, Zhai Yanjun, or even her own son, Hyson, everyone would be affected by one truth and their lives will be thrown off balance. It looked like everyone and everything was finally getting on track, so there was no need to bring up the long-buried secret.

However, at the end of the day, she couldn’t help feeling sorry for her son. Yue Yue believed she had a clear conscience. She had never done anything wrong to anyone. Actually, she lately felt like she didn’t even wrong Zhai Kuijun. But the person who was wronged in this messed up situation was the innocent son of hers.

Her son who was born prematurely and started suffering from the moment he came into this world. He should have had the world at his feet but their circumstances didn’t allow it. Nevertheless, her son was still a prince. How could he not shine even if he was raised in the mud?

For someone excessively sensitive towards others’ emotions, Hyson noticed his mother’s change of emotions almost instantly. This silly woman! What was he supposed to do with her? If he left her unattended, she’d let her mind wander off to unknown places. It was truly worrying.

Hyson immediately hugged her petite figure. He wrapped his arms around her protectively and gave her a long hug. Kissing the top of her head, he looked down at her face and only moved his lips to let her know, ‘Mum, I love you! Stop overthinking. I’m very happy in my life.’

Yue Yue’s eyes turned red instantly.

Hyson took a deep breath and called out, “Yanyan, your wife is crying once again. Come and deal with this crybaby.” Yue Yue hit his chest but it didn’t hurt him at all. He only laughed at her reaction and while touching her face, he added, “Mum, it’s hot outside. I want the sky to cry. Seeing your cry is not fun.”

She slapped his arm again, ‘I’m not crying.’

“Yes, yes, it must be dust in your eyes again,” he sounded so perfunctory that he was asking for a beating right now. But seriously, he really wanted to tell his mother that even when he was three, he didn’t fall for her silly excuses. She was so bad at it.

Zhai Kuijun had been standing by their side and had been seeing their interaction all this while. He didn’t know why the scene before him was hurting his heart and also felt kind of heart-warming. What a conflicted feeling. But he truly was surprised to see how good the relationship between Yue Yue and Hyson was.

Hyson suddenly glanced at Zhai Kuijun and he felt chilled. Zhai Kuijun didn’t know where this chill came from. Because Hyson looked very innocent. This dangerous vibe couldn’t be coming from him, right?

Well, the truth was, it was indeed coming from him.

Hyson really wanted to bite this man. It was the second time he appeared before his mother and he was on the verge of crying once more. He really didn’t think this man’s appearance was a good sign at all!

Yue Yue pinched Hyson’s nose, ‘Now, go! I’m fine. I won’t cry. Stop being so hostile.’

Hyson said, “I’m clearly being very nice for now.”

She also could see that. He was indeed being very nice. But it might not last long. Even she knew her son’s anger always stemmed from her own tears. He could do anything at that moment. So, it was better to get him away from Zhai Kuijun before Hyson really started losing his rationality.

‘Go! You’re getting late!’

Hyson sighed heavily and agreed. He nodded at Zhai Kuijun and ran outside.
