COLD CEO AND ARROGANT WIFE - Season 3 Episode 46

With these men around, how the time flew by, Hyson didn’t even realize at all. Since Grandfather Xiang was already informed that Hyson’s friends were with him, he didn’t come to disturb as well. He believed that staying with his group mates will help in Hyson’s recovery. After all, the mindset is quite essential when it comes to one’s recovery.

“Has any of you heard that our company is changing management?” Huang Shuyi took this moment to bring up this topic.

“It must be a rumor,” stated Fang Yiwen.

“It isn’t though,” answered Huang Shuyi affirmatively. “I had gone to the company a lot these days because of that Idol survival show. I heard some assistants talking about it.”

“Why so suddenly? And why haven’t we heard anything regarding this?” asked Lin Zhen.

“It’s not sudden. Apparently, this takeover has been discussed for a couple of months now. I just wonder who wants to take over our management company.”

“It doesn’t matter as long as it doesn’t affect us,” said Fang Yiwen leisurely.

“But how can we not be affected?” questioned Pei Zi Hong. “We are the most popular group in the company. Because of my scandal, we are already impacted. Now, with this, don’t you think we’ll suffer the most?”

“Then do you think we might get disbanded?” inquired Fang Yiwen.

“There is a possibility,” answered Lin Zhen. “But we shouldn’t worry for now. Nothing is set in stone for now. Maybe we are overthinking. Let’s just calm down first and take everything slowly.”

“Zhen Ge, your positivity is endless, eh!”

“Since you all are pessimistic, I have to be the one be an optimistic one.”

“Keep me out of the pessimistic group. I’m a positive person. Even my blood group is B positive!” said Hyson happily. “I always think that my blood group is a message from God to me. I should always be positive!”

“Here comes another bundle of positivity,” remarked Pei Zi Hong.

“Our contract still had two years left,” stated Lin Zhen. “As I said earlier, we shouldn’t be pessimistic. We won’t be disbanded so soon. Especially since we still have value.”

Pei Zi Hong looked at Hyson’s languid expression and asked, “Xiao Fai, you know something about this change in management?”

“How would I know?” retorted Hyson.

“With the level of possessiveness your best friend has, I won’t be surprised if she…”

Before he could even finish, Hyson held up his hand to stop him. “My Ellie would never do that. First of all, she has no interest in the entertainment industry. Second, she promised me she’ll never interfere with my professional life.”

“But she broke her promise,” reminded Pei Zi Hong. “She sacked the whole movie crew. Are you forgetting that?”

“I’m not,” replied Hyson calmly. “Every promise has conditions. As long as my professional life won’t harm my personal one, she won’t interfere. This time, it not only harmed my personal life but also my health. It was really beyond my control to stop her.” He took a pause and added, “And you don’t have to worry at all. As soon as I get better, I’ll convince her to allow the movie to continue as well. I am not selfish. And neither is she.”

“You really know how to take her side,” stated Pei Zi Hong.

“She is the first person who ever stood up for me. I’ll never back off either.” He took out his phone and dialed Raelle’s number as he told them, “Since you think it’s her, I’ll just ask her.”

The call was picked up within a few seconds, “Didn’t you get your cotton and candy, why are you looking for me now?”

“You’re still more important to me than my cotton and candy,” said Hyson.

“So you don’t mind me taking them back?”

“Evil!”

Raelle didn’t say anything to that. Instead, she asked, “What is it? I don’t believe you called for chit-chat.”

“Are you the one buying the company I’m signed with?”

“I have better things to do in life than to take over an entertainment company.”

Hyson looked at Pei Zi Hong with his chin jutted out as if to say, ‘I told you so!’

“Now that you’ve called me, I should settle something with you.”

“What?” asked Hyson apprehensively.

“Did you try to bribe my people to buy you spicy crab?”

Hyson’s eyes widened in surprise, “Those chicken nuggets! They have a loose mouth!”

“Hyson, behave yourself. Don’t force me to inform your mother.”

“When did you become so childish?”

“Well, if you won’t listen to me, I’ll have to become childish and tattletale on you.”

“Won’t you feel embarrassed?”

Raelle’s voice sounded as blank as ever as she replied, “I don’t feel anything for that matter. Did you forget that already?” She took a pause and added, “If you’re worried about the change in management of your company, I’ll ask someone to get the details. But no matter, don’t worry, I promise it won’t affect you or your group in any way. I’ll make sure of that.”

“Awww… My Ellie is still the best!”

“Scram!” came Raelle’s voice before the phone was hung up.

Hyson looked at his phone’s screen and chuckled to himself. Then he noticed the gazes of others on himself and smiled awkwardly. “Don’t mind that. She talks like that.”

“She really doesn’t talk nonsense, eh?” said Fang Yiwen.

“Time is money to her, and she’d rather not waste it,” answered Hyson honestly.

“Are you sure you both are best friends? I could hear a single emotion in her voice. It felt like she was talking to a stranger indifferently.”

“And that’s why my dear friends you should never focus on her voice. It’s her words that matters.” He took a pause and added, “And yes, she is quite void of emotions as well. That doesn’t mean she doesn’t care about me. She just doesn’t know how to express it.”

“I think you’re just trying to defend her.”

“I don’t mind doing it for the rest of my life,” said Hyson as he shrugged his shoulders.
