COLD CEO AND ARROGANT WIFE - Season 3 Episode 36

Seeing how Raelle was already leaving, Cloe stepped over.

“Take him out for coffee or something,” said Raelle before leaving.

Cloe could only shake her head at her boss. Since Raelle wanted to get back to Hyson, she left early but she didn’t forget that it was bad manners to make Soren leave just like that.

When Cloe entered the waiting room, she could see the dumbfounded look on Soren’s face. Soren was a tall man. He had his hair combed to the back of his head. A pair of gold-rimmed glasses shielded his deep eyes. In a neat and tidy suit, he gave off of a hard to approach feeling to others. He usually gave off a feeling of indifference and self-control of a high-ranking elite.

But currently, his expressions really didn’t go well with his usual demeanor. He didn’t look as hard to approach.

Cloe chuckled and nudged him playfully, “I guess she told you, didn’t she?”

Soren turned his eyes towards her, “Is she really married?”

“Yup!”

“To Shui Xian? As in Master Xian of the Shui Conglomerate?”

“That’s the one!” replied Cloe.

“Damn!” Soren didn’t know what else to say right now. It wasn’t just surprising, it was shocking to him.

Cloe actually sympathized with him right now. How could she not? She had a similar reaction when she first learned about it. So, she could understand Soren’s feelings. She patted his shoulder, “Let’s go. I’ll take you out for coffee.”

“I came here right after landing, do you really think I’m in the mood for coffee?”

“Aren’t you a coffee lover? I remember in college, you could drink coffee all day.”

Soren raised his brow at her, “Your memory is too good, eh?”

“And since my memory is so good, it came out as a surprise to me that Sora is your sister.”

“Knowing that you still threatened her.”

Cloe gave him a smug look, “It couldn’t be considered a threat though. I just gave her a gentle reminder that even her brother can’t possibly help her. Now, as her dear brother, tell me, can you really help her?”

“I don’t wanna go against Raelle,” answered Soren.

“See!” Cloe laughed at him. “I was absolutely right.”

“I’m going to leave now. Let’s meet up again. I’ll invite you to dinner. Don’t forget to bring her with you.”

“Free meals are always welcomed,” said Cloe.

….

Meanwhile, Hyson was still chattering with Shui Xian without any hint of tiredness at all. One could hardly tell that he just had surgery yesterday.

“Xian Ge, I have a question for you.”

“What is it?” Shui Xian’s brows quirked up seeing his cautious look. It was surprising for him to see Hyson being cautious about something. Didn’t he usually just said whatever came to his mind? Why was he hesitating so much today?

“That… Director Jade is really your sister?”

Shui Xian nodded his head, “She is.”

“Are you sure?” asked Hyson once again but this stressing on his words.

“Why? You have doubts?”

“I do,” answered Hyson straightforwardly. “She neither looks like you nor is her personality like you. When Cloe first told me that she is your sister, I actually blanked out for a while because my brain couldn’t actually make a connection between her and you.”

“Siblings always have contradicting personalities,” stated Shui Xian.

“Do they?” Hyson was uncertain. “I just met Ellie’s brother and even though they never even met each other, I can tell you I could see a hint of Ellie in her brother. But didn’t you and your sister grew up together? Then why such a huge difference?”

Shui Xian caught on to the key point, “Raelle’s elder brother is like her?”

Hyson paused a bit but soon nodded his head, “Actually, there are differences but once someone says they are siblings you can easily believe it. He isn’t a talkative person like her. He doesn’t show his weakness to others like her. Even though he was bleeding, not once he complained about it. And even though he didn’t like talking, he still listened to me attentively.”

“It seems he left quite an impression on you,” said Shui Xian.

“Lieutenant Colonel Xiang Weimin,” began Hyson. “Indeed, he left quite an impression.”

Shui Xian fell into deep thought when he heard Hyson talking like this. He could tell that it wasn’t easy to impress a person like Hyson whose heart was too simple. Or perhaps, his heart was too deep and complicated to understand. Whichever one it was, one thing was certain, he usually wouldn’t get impressed by people easily.

He wanted to say something but he could tell Hyson would divulge further into this topic so he decided to change the topic.

“You know,” began Shui Xian. “I think you’re the ‘Bug’ in my wife’s life.”

Hyson laughed at that, “Why? Because I am always bugging her?”

Shui Xian smiled at him and shook his head, “Not really. It’s because usually her life is organized but whenever you get involved, things take a different turn.”

Hyson laughed even harder, “You can call me the wind in her still life. It’s a talent to bring chaos into her life. Not just anyone is capable of doing that.”

“Oh, if you’re the wind, what am I?” asked Shui Xian.

“You’re the rain,” replied Hyson matter-of-factly. “You’re supposed to make her flourish and bloom with your touch.”

“Bloody hell! You’re poetic!” said Shui Xian.

Hyson smiled at him, “I’m a singer. Although I have no interest in songwriting, I often spend time with Zhen Ge. He is an awesome songwriter. And he is an even better poet.”

By the time Raelle came back, Hyson had already told everything about his band members to Shui Xian. Obviously, he wasn’t the gossipy type to share the unnecessary stuff. But Hyson was the kind of a person who would sincerely praise the people he liked and that’s why he didn’t hold back while talking about his members. Even Shui Xian was surprised to find out that Hyson’s observation skills were no worse than his wife.
