COLD CEO AND ARROGANT WIFE, VOLUME 5 - Season 9 Episode 14

“I tell you, it’s really funny how Major gets so worked up over little things I say,” Hyson was laughing his heart out as he recounted everything that happened yesterday to Raelle on the video call.

“Or maybe you just figured out how to tick her off,” was Raelle’s bland response. “And since you liked the way she was worked up, you ended up purposely getting on her nerves.”

Hyson grinned, “As always, it’s our Ellie who understands me best.” He didn’t even argue or deny her words. After all, he couldn’t argue with Raelle since she was right. As he said, she really understood him the best. “But the best part was the way I K.O-ed my dear brother.”

“As much I know Zhai Yanjun, he must not have been able to sleep since last night,” said Raelle.

Hyson hehe-ed at that and said, “Well, who asked him to always annoy me? If he didn’t try to take away my mum, I’d have gone easy on him.”

“You’re still going easy on him,” reminded Raelle. “Are you trying to really fool me as you fooled him? Do you think I’m that easy to fool?”

Hyson pursed his lips since he didn’t dare comment about that. Anyone could be a fool but Raelle Xiang. How could he dare say she was easy to fool? It was a child’s play for him to fool anyone with his words and his impeccable performance but when it came to Raelle, he really couldn’t fool her.

“Although most of the time you like doing things carefreely, you still have a reason behind each of your acts. You intentionally picked on Zhai Yanjun, not because of your mother. It was because you wanted to understand what was going on between Xiang Wai and Zhai Yanjun. As you said to Zhai Yanjun, they broke up a long time ago so they should have moved on. But you just realized by interacting with them that neither of them actually moved on. They are still those ignorant little fools who don’t know how to love.”

“Damn!” muttered Hyson as he looked at her. “I should have stopped you when you wanted to learn human psychology.” He shook his head, “I say one word and you figure out the whole scene.”

“That’s because you’re not that difficult to figure out,” replied Raelle.

“Only you’d say that,” he commented.

“No, most people have the same opinion that they can understand you. But the difference is, when they say they figured you out, they are actually fooled by what you showed them. However…”

“However, when you say you have me figured out, that’s the ultimate truth.” Hyson completed her sentence for her and she nodded in response.

“Now that you’ve figured out where Xiang Wai and Zhai Yanjun stand, what are you up to?” asked Raelle.

“What if I say, I’m gonna take matters into my hands? I’m gonna be nosy from now on?”

Raelle gave him a nod, “That’s what I expected from you.” She wasn’t surprised by his words. It was expected of him. Not because he was a nosy person. Just because he genuinely was concerned about Zhai Yanjun. If it was just Xiang Wai, he wouldn’t go so far. But Zhai Yanjun was different.

No matter how much he ran from it, this blood connection couldn’t be denied.

So, instead of denying it, he’d just choose to protect his fool brother.

“Best of luck!” said Raelle.

Hyson smiled at her, “Thank you! I might need your cooperation in the future as well.”

“You don’t have to tell me that. You know already that I’m always here for you.”

“I know,” he replied. “Where else does my narcissism comes from? Doesn’t it come from the fact that I have an almighty best friend protecting me? It’s because you are willing to clean up my mess that I’m never afraid of making a mess.”

He was being very cheeky but every word he said was from his heart. It couldn’t be denied that half of Hyson’s arrogance and unruly personality was developed because he had Raelle behind her.

“You said Yue Yue met Zhai Kuijun?” asked Raelle.

“Hmm…” Hyson hummed in response carelessly.

“Don’t you have anything to say about that?”

Hyson thought about it and shook his head, “I really don’t. You already know that I’m not all that interested in this topic.”

“Even if you’re not interested, you’re my best friend. You must have noticed something.”

Hyson smiled at her, “Are you indirectly complimenting yourself?”

“Am I?”

Hyson shook his head and told her, “I did notice a couple of things. For instance, Mr. Zhai Kuijun is genuinely concerned about my mum. He had a look of relief on his face but his eyes couldn’t hide his fear. He was afraid that once he moved his eyes away from her, she’ll be gone once again. What else did I notice? Ah! My mum might have hidden from him for years, she was very happy to actually meet him.”

“That’s all?”

Hyson looked at the ceiling and continued, “And, my mum is still easily affected by Mr. Zhai Kuijun. Also, Mr. Zhai Kuijun is still oblivious that my mum had been in love with him for more than half of her life. Ironic, isn’t it?”

“Not really,” answered Raelle. “You can’t say he is blind just because he can’t tell that Yue Yue had been in love with him. It depends on the kind of relationship they once had. You and I can’t judge either of them.”

“Who has time to judge them?” retorted Hyson. “I don’t even have enough time to sleep and eat these days. Why would I bother myself with the thoughts of their relationship? Don’t I have a life of my own?” Before Raelle could say anything, he added, “But one thing I can assure you, my mum isn’t willing to tell him about me. And if my mum doesn’t speak, no one around her will speak this truth including me. You know what that means? I don’t have to accept a father into my life.”
