COLD CEO AND ARROGANT WIFE, VOLUME 5 - Season 8 Episode 64

‘Why do you look sad instead of being happy after meeting Raelle?’

Mu Chenyan deflated when she understood Yue Yue’s question. She sighed heavily. “It’s it because my old heart is broken?”

“Why? What happened?” asked Xiang Hulin curiously.

“Here I thought my Elle wanted to see me but in fact, the real purpose was to use me,” stated Mu Chenyan. “I feel like I’ve become an encyclopedia of secrets.”

Yue Yue patted her shoulder before telling her with the sign language, ‘At least, you’re still very useful.’

Mu Chenyan pouted at her best friend’s remark but immediately said, “Actually, I don’t mind being used. It’s my Elle, even if she asks for my life I won’t mind. And all she wanted was to know some secrets. The thing is that I didn’t get to tell everything to her. I’m upset because of Shing Ge, he held me back. I don’t like keeping secrets from my Elle. But he still thinks it’s not good to say some things.”

Yue Yue looked conflicted, ‘Isn’t he right though? If the secrets are only gonna ruin the peace of today, why dig into them?’

“Yue, my dear Yue, you think you can keep a secret for life?” she asked. “I tell you, my Elle taught me one thing, honesty is really the best policy. At least, I don’t have to feel guilty when I look at my Elle. I have always been open with her about everything. The peace of today you speak of is built on secrets. Secrets are a very dangerous thing in a relationship. Even if you think you’re protecting the other person by keeping a secret, you’re doing more damage than you think.”

Xiang Hulin stood up and poured a glass of water before giving it to Mu Chenyan, “You drink this and calm down. Everyone has their own ideas. And since it’s not your secret, you have no right to divulge it either.”

Mu Chenyan grumbled unhappily but drank the water silently. She knew that Shui Koshing had never wanted to take on the feud between the Tang and Qian family, but still, in the past decade he had done everything he could to suppress the Tang family. He wasn’t an easy target but the Tang family was strong as well. It took quite some effort to break the Tang family but he had succeeded.

At this time, the Tang family was only an empty shell. It only looked splendid from the outside. In reality, they were nothing. Otherwise, wouldn’t they have offered to lend a hand to their relatives like the Ruan family whom Shui Xian destroyed within a day? It was all because the Tang family was a sinking ship on its own. They didn’t have the time to lend a hand to anyone else.

“Ge, I just noticed,” said Mu Chenyan after she was done drinking the water. “You’ve been single for far too long. How about dating?”

“I have some important calls to make,” and with that Xiang Hulin ran away leaving Mu Chenyan staring at his receding back.

‘Your brother ran away.

“I can see,” replied Mu Chenyan to Yue Yue. “But how far can he run? Since I already have this idea, do you think I’ll let him escape? No way!”

Yue Yue didn’t know how to react so she changed the topic, ‘Did you see my son?’

Mu Chenyan nodded, “I brought little Fai home. He is in the living room. He already had lunch but I told him to wash up and take a nap after that. He must have not slept well last night.”

And the little Fai, Mu Chenyan spoke of was indeed in the living room. He was planning on going straight to his room to wash up but he was called by Xiang Weimin.

“How is Raelle now?” asked Xiang Weimin.

“Why don’t you go see her yourself?” retorted Hyson.

“She won’t like seeing us there,” the answer came from Xiang Wai.

“True,” agreed Hyson. “She definitely won’t like seeing you at the hospital.”

“Thanks for being so honest,” was Xiang Wai’s response as she glared at him unhappily.

“Yo! Major, you don’t have to look at me like that. I’m just stating a fact. And it’s not just for you two. She didn’t even want to see me at the hospital. It has nothing to do with anyone else. She just doesn’t like people surrounding her at the hospital or coming to see how she is doing. It had always been like that.”

Xiang Wai and Xiang Weimin’s expressions eased up a little.

“I heard something about Shui Xian’s ex-wife and amnesia,” mentioned Xiang Weimin.

Hyson looked at him and said, “Weimin Ge, aren’t you very well informed?”

Xiang Weimin cleared his throat as he continued to focus on the laptop screen before him and said, “I just heard it from here and there.”

“There is such a thing?” questioned Xiang Wai. “Who is this ex-wife? Which room is hers?”

“Why? You gonna help her in recovering her memories?” questioned Hyson in amusement when he noticed their expressions.

“Do you think I can’t? I’m a qualified Special Force officer! I can make people remember their past lives. This is nothing.” She looked very proud of herself when she said it.

Hyson laughed out loud, “I don’t think there is a need for Major Xiang Wai to get involved. I’m afraid the patient might die in your hands.”

“Do I look like an executioner?” asked Xiang Wai in dissatisfaction. “I was just gonna do some memory exercises with her. Nothing else.”

“As if I’d believe that,” said Hyson. “There is only one person in the Xiang family who likes to solve things with words and that’s Raelle. And that is also because getting physical is considered troublesome to her. And the rest of the Xiang family is prone to violence rather than using their words. In fact, none of you are even good with words.” He even gave them a stinky eye as if he was looking down at them right now.

How audacious!
