COLD CEO AND ARROGANT WIFE, VOLUME 5 - Season 10 Episode 91

By now, Hyson had actually calmed down. He also thought about it and agreed that indeed, for as long as he could remember, it was always him who dragged Raelle around to do things she wasn’t interested in. And let’s be real, Raelle’s interests were pitifully few. So, practically, he had to push her every single time to do anything.

And it was also true that Hyson’s interests varied. He practically loved to do everything and anything. As long as it seemed fun, he wanted to give it a try. But he didn’t want to do it alone either. He was that kid who wanted to share his precious things with his precious person and in the end, Raelle was that precious person in his life with whom he wanted to share everything. He wanted to have fun with her.

But more so, he wanted her to see the colors of life and walk out of the circle she lived in.

Taking a deep breath, Hyson closed his eyes and when he opened them, his mood completely settled. “So, what made you want to propose? How did that movie end up inspiring my best friend?”

“The inspiration?” Raelle repeated as she leaned back on the couch and told him, “Nothing much. The movie just made me realize that we can’t have specific definitions for some things. Like feelings. We all define feelings in our own way and we all feel those feelings in our own way. We are all born with a unique set of DNA which means, we are all unique people. Then how can we have the same emotions? Some of us feel too much and some of us don’t feel at all. To some life is a journey and to some, it’s a race. Both are right in their own way. And just like that, for some love is happiness and for some, it’s pain. But to me… To me, love is Xian. That’s all.”

Hyson listened attentively to her without disturbing her at all. In fact, the more he listened the more his lips curled up. He always knew Raelle had her own way to perceive emotions. For instance, her way of showing her care was by giving gifts to people she genuinely cared about. She thought it was easier to spend money on gifts to show that the person mattered to her.

And once again, she proved him right. She found her own definition of love.

“I’m glad you found your definition of love,” said Hyson.

“And yet you haven’t,” she replied. “Here I thought I was the slow one between the two of us.”

Hyson laughed at that, “Who said I haven’t? My definition of love is you… And my mum, and my Yanyan, and Opa as well.”

“You really think I’m a fool?” asked Raelle.

“Who said that? Who can possibly call you a fool?”

“You do.”

“Oh, I have the right to,” he said so justifiably. He sighed again looking down at the crew setting the scene. “I still can’t believe you managed to get on the trending list with just a random proposal.”

“You’re clearly underestimating my appeal.”

“No, I’m not,” he replied. “It’s just that netizens seem to love such gestures these days. And the photographer did an impeccable job of capturing the moment. At first, they were just gushing over what a romantic couple you guys were but once your identities were revealed, it snowballed into something bigger. Both of you are people with good looks, and adding on the fact that both of you are rich definitely made people envious.” He took a pause and didn’t forget to remind her, “Don’t forget to send me a wedding invitation.”

“You need an invitation? Want a beating instead? As my brother, how dare you say you need an invitation? Who will receive the guests if you aren’t here?”

“The very reason I’m looking for an invitation card is that that’d mean I’m a guest and guests are not supposed to work.”

“You’re actually refusing to work at my wedding?”

Hyson laughed at that and said, “Nah. You say it once, Jie. Your brother will handle everything.”

“You don’t have to,” said Raelle. “I have people here. You just finish your work and come back to be my flower boy.”

Hyson lost his smile, “Ellie, there is no flower boy in any wedding. There are flower girls and even those are chosen from young girls. I’m a little too old for the role and also of the wrong gender.”

“It’s my wedding. I can ask whoever I want to do whatever I want them to do. If I said you’re flower boy, then you’re flower boy! You should be glad I’m not adding you to my bridesmaid list.”

“Oh my, thank you,” he said sarcastically. “Hold on, aren’t you having a traditional wedding? There are no flower girls or bridesmaids in that wedding.”

“Again, it’s my wedding. It’ll work my way.”

“Geez, do whatever you want,” he said. “When are you guys going for the taste testing? Don’t forget to video call me. I can’t eat it but I’d like my eyes to feast on delicacies.”

“Fine, I’ll do whatever you say. But you also have to listen to me.”

“About what?”

“Rest well,” said Raelle. “Don’t be in such a hurry to be done with your work. I definitely won’t get married without you. So, pay attention to your health. If you fell ill one more time, I’m sacking you up and bringing you back home to lock you up.”

“You can’t lock me up.”

“Try me. If it’s to keep you safe, neither Yanyan nor Yue would disagree with my decision.”

“They don’t disagree anyway.” But he still felt the crisis and agreed obediently, “Okay. I won’t push myself. When did you become so naggy? You didn’t use to interfere with my work. You’ve changed, Ellie.”

“Tell me if you need anything.”

“I will.”

“No, you won’t. Unless it’s the last option, you won’t look for me and you should drop that habit now. It isn’t healthy.”
