COLD CEO AND ARROGANT WIFE, VOLUME 5 - Season 8 Episode 95

At this moment, Xiang Hulin was supposed to sympathize with his good brother but he just couldn’t do so. He was an unprincipled brother. When it came to his sister, he’d purposely become stupid and do anything. He could even become a horse for his sister when they were young. Becoming a villain to his good friend Mu Chenyan was no big deal to Xiang Hulin.

Besides, it’s not like he was really hurting Zhai Kuijun right now. At most, he was annoying him as much as he could. When would he find such a chance again if he missed it today? Life was already very boring since he climbed the ranks and became a General.

“It’s true,” repeated Xiang Hulin. “She only looks similar to Yue Yue. She isn’t the person you’re looking for. If she was, would I have hidden it from you? Never!” Xiang Hulin still spoke with a straight face. And the more he said it, even he was mentally hypnotizing himself that the woman who looked like Yue Yue was not Yue Yue.

Seeing how serious and sincere he sounded, Zhai Kuijun even doubted himself for a second but instantly shook his head before he could fall deeper into the deception of Xiang Hulin. He’d be a real fool if he actually fell for it right now.

“Ha! As if I’d believe you,” he shot back at Xiang Hulin. “Do I look like a fool?”

Xiang Hulin actually nodded making Zhai Kuijun stare at him in disbelief and Xiang Hulin instantly changed the direction of his head and started shaking his head.

“How is that possible? You’re very smart,” said Xiang Hulin and he actually meant it. After all, Zhai Kuijun was a smart person. Or else, as a complete newbie in business, without any backing or foundation, he wouldn’t have been able to succeed on his own.

“I never thought you’d do this to me, Hulin,” said Zhai Kuijun and he actually sounded very wronged. As if he wasn’t expecting this betrayal.

Xiang Hulin touched his earlobe and didn’t say anything.

Zhai Kuijun hmphed at him and went back to Yue Yue’s side. “Why are you still there? Come down here!”

Yue Yue pursed her lips and walked down to stand right in front of him. She even clasped her hands before her as she stood there like a child who was about to be reprimanded by an elder.

Seeing her like this, Zhai Kuijun’s lips curled up slightly. Even after years, she still had this habit. Whenever she did something wrong, she’d stand just like that before him and dare not to look into his eyes. Just seeing her like this would soften his heart and it was still the same.

“What are you looking down for? I’m standing right here,” said Zhai Kuijun. “Look up!”

Yue Yue looked up and met his eyes. He looked more mature than she remembered. But what really startled her was his eyes. That carelessness and mischief she loved about him were suddenly missing. He always had that pride visible on his face and even that was gone. He looked a lot serious and a little… lost.

Her heart actually hurt when she noticed these minute details. He looked so worn out. What happened? She was genuinely curious about it. In all these years, she never actively tried to inquire about him. So, she really didn’t know anything. It was only after meeting Zhai Yanjun that she learned that things were not peaceful in his family even when she was no longer around.

On the other hand, Zhai Kuijun was also observing her intently. She didn’t look much different. She just shed off the layer of youthfulness but the rest of her was still the same. She still looked like that delicate little girl who needed his protection.

He had so many things to say to her but he didn’t know where to start? He needed to ask so many things.

“You’re really heartless,” he said to her.

Yue Yue blinked at him. Was she? Was she really heartless? She didn’t know that. If he said it, maybe she was really heartless. Her thoughts had always been this simple, if he said it, she’d just believe it. She thought she had her own thoughts after being independent for years but clearly, he still had a strong influence on her. It was just that he wasn’t around all this time so she thought she had changed.

“How are you?” asked Zhai Kuijun. “I have wanted to know this for years. But I couldn’t find you anywhere. You really left me no way to even know how you’re doing? Do you realize how worried I have been? I have had countless nightmares. I had been living in fear that something really happened to you. But now that I’ve found you, you’re still not willing to tell me how you are?”

Yue Yue was taken aback by his words and shook her head in response.

“What? You really don’t want to even tell me how you are? Or you’re gonna fool me like Hulin that you’re not Yue?” he asked. “I definitely can recognize you. I’m old but I didn’t get dimentia. I can still recognize you after years. And I can’t be wrong. No one knows you better than me. So, you might be able to fool others but not me.”

Yue Yue again shook her head. She definitely didn’t want to fool him. She opened her mouth but couldn’t even say a word. Argh! She hated this. Why didn’t she keep her phone around? How was she supposed to answer him now?

“Yue,” called Zhai Kuijun seeing her silence. It really hurt him when she wasn’t even willing to speak to him. What did he do wrong? The rims of his eyes reddened as he said, “Say something.”

He sounded so desperate that Yue Yue’s tears fell down as well. How was she supposed to say something? How? Just how? She found it so unfair that she couldn’t say anything right now to him.
