COLD CEO AND ARROGANT WIFE, VOLUME 5 - Season 9 Episode 38

Feeling a little shy, Justin extended his small hand as he said, “Nice to meet you too.”

Raelle looked at his hand and then at him. She extended the flowers he gave her towards him making him frown in confusion. “You can shake the flowers. I don’t like handshakes.”

“Oh…” His lips made a small ‘O’ and he looked quite adorable doing it.

But he still held the one end of the flower as if he was shaking her hand and smiled at her in a well-behaved manner.

Raelle noticed something and pointed at his chest asking, “Is that a Troodon?”

Little Justin looked at his shirt and looked up at her as he shook his head saying, “No, this is a Megalosaurus. That’s my favorite dinosaur.”

Raelle looked at the small embroidered dinosaur and paused before saying, “Are you sure that’s a Megalosaurus?”

“I’m sure,” he answered. But he pursed his small lips and looked over, seeing that his mom was still far away, he whispered, “It’s hard to believe. I agree. It’s ugly. But mom spent weeks learning to embroider before she made this for me.”

“I think I like you,” said Raelle. “Because our aesthetics match. That’s definitely ugly. But if you’re willing to believe it’s a Megalosaurus, I’ll go with it as well. So, it’s your favorite dinosaur? Why?”

“Because it’s the coolest,” answered Justin. “It was the first dinosaur to be discovered. And it was then humans started learning about these prehistoric beats.”

Raelle nodded and said, “When I was young I liked Deinonychus. But now, I think I like Triceratops more.”

“Why?” asked Justin curiously. His eyes brightened as he found someone with the same interest as him.

“It’s one of the toughest dinosaurs out there,” answered Raelle. And then these two continued to discuss their interest as if they were having some really serious discussion.

…

“Why is your son talking so much to my wife?” asked Shui Xian.

Tang Hebe was already stunned silent and didn’t know how to react to this at all. She was also looking at this scene but she could hardly believe her eyes. Her situation wasn’t much different than Shui Xian’s. Both were wondering the same thing; what was so interesting to talk about?

Shui Xian never thought to see Raelle having such a long conversation with a kid. He always thought that Raelle didn’t like kids. Because whenever they discussed kids, she always had a lukewarm reaction. Well, her reaction was as usual just like her, he was the one who assumed that it seemed lukewarm so he was wondering if his assumptions were actually wrong. How come his wife looked comfortable around a kid if she didn’t like kids?

Meanwhile, Tang Hebe was also feeling complicated. She was already familiar with how much her son talked. Well, Justin wasn’t much of a talker. Even around her, he mostly answered her and didn’t look this enthusiastic as he did right now around Raelle. This made her feel a little envious.

“Your wife is trying to steal my son,” she grumbled.

“No, she isn’t!” Shui Xian snapped at her. “It’s your son who is trying to seduce my wife.”

Tang Hebe gave him a look, “When did you become so petty? He is just a kid?”

“He is your kid, I don’t trust him,” said Shui Xian and decided to join them and see what this serious conversation was about. But when they got close, he actually got a headache hearing the numbers. What the hell? Were they doing maths?

And indeed, he was right. From dinosaurs to mathematics, this discussion between Raelle and Justin was very colorful.

“The answer will be 2.58963,” he heard Raelle say.

Justin clapped his hands, “Wow! You’re awesome!”

“I know, right,” said Raelle. “Don’t worry, you aren’t too bad for your age. Although I was better at that age.”

Shui Xian pursed his lips and felt embarrassed for his wife who was showing off before a kid. How come he didn’t know his wife had this side? Oh, well. He loved it!

“But really, you’re good. And that brings me to the conclusion that I like you,” added Raelle.

“Really?” asked Justin excitedly.

“Yes,” said Raelle. “I don’t lie. So, when I say I like you it means I like you. Also, I always like people who are good with numbers. Makes it easier for me to relate with them.”

That last sentence made Shui Xian feel a bit bitter for her and he joined in, “So, what are you guys up to?”

Raelle looked at Shui Xian and said, “Husband, meet Justin. He gave me these pretty flowers.”

“Oh, they are very pretty,” said Shui Xian.

Justin lowered his head but Shui Xian could see that his ears turned red. Shui Xian smiled to himself when he noticed that.

“Wifey, you’re making new friends here.”

“I don’t make friends,” replied Raelle. “But I like this little one. He is smart. And he agrees that even though Tricerotops are herbivores, they are still the toughest and coolest dinosaurs to roam this earth. Oh, and he is good at maths.”

“Hi, Justin!” Shui Xian waved at Justin who replied in a small voice, “Hello!”

“I’m her husband, Shui Xian,” told Shui Xian to him. “You’re a very cool kid.”

“Are you bullying my son?” came Tang Hebe’s voice as she joined them and looked at her son.

“Which eye of yours has malfunctioned?” asked Shui Xian. “It’s better to get it checked while we are in the hospital.”

Tang Hebe gaped at him in disbelief. “Justin, let’s go back now.”

“Little Justin can’t leave right now,” said Raelle to Tang Hebe who was taken aback.

“Why not?”

“Because we still have unfinished business,” was Raelle’s response. She looked at Justin, “Is that right, little man?”

Justin nodded his head and looked at his mother. Tang Hebe was still not able to process what was happening here. How did she not know there was some unfinished business between Raelle and her son? Well, there was but she was sure, Raelle wasn’t aware of it yet. So, what was this about?
