Chapter 1268 Kinds Of Love
Hyson came back very soon and started eating the cake. He didn't even offer a bite to anyone even just for the sake of being polite. "Yan Zi said you love cakes. It seems you really do."
Hyson looked up at Xia Zhao, "Of course, I love cakes. But then again, I like anything sweet."
"Really? You see like a chocolate guy to me though."
"Huh?" "You know, someone who seems sweet but hides a darker bitterness behind that sweetness."
Hyson paused and looked into his eyes before focusing back on eating his cake without commenting on that statement. He didn't think it was a question. And neither did he think, Xia Zhao wanted an explanation. It was just that; a statement.
And it was a statement he couldn't refute either.
Mu Chenyan was looking at Hyson lovingly as he ate when she heard that statement from Xia Zhao. She frowned to herself and before she could say anything, her phone rang. Seeing the caller id, she stood up and said, "Excuse me, I have to take this. I'll be right back." She moved to the door before looking back at Xia Zhao, "Be nice to my son."
Xia Zhao gave her a nod, "Yes, m'lady!"
Mu Chenyan rolled her eyes at him before going out of the room.
One she walked out, Hyson stopped eating and finally straightened up. His eyes shot lasers at Xia Zhao.
"What? Are you dissatisfied with me?"
"No," replied Hyson. "If I was dissatisfied, you wouldn't be here."
"Oh?"
"My godmother won't bring you here if I was dissatisfied with you."
"I thought you'd say you won't let me stay in her life."
"That's not up to me," replied Hyson. "That's her business and she is smart enough to know what she wants. You're her life partner, not mine. Let's just assume that even if I do have any problem with you, that's on me. I won't bring it between you and her."
Xia Zhao nodded his head, "Yup. You're really a sensible kid."
"I'm not a kid."
"I'm close to your mother's age."
"But you are younger than my mother," Hyson pointed out. "Fair enough."
"It seems like we didn't get a chance to meet each other very much. Or even had a proper conversation," said Hyson.
"Yes. We didn't get to sit down to get to know each other."
"Right, all I know about you is from Ellie. And although all the testing plans came from me, I wasn't there in person. So, let's chat."
"Sure."
"You better understand that I am very stingy. I have only one godmother and I'd be honest with you, sometimes she takes over even my own mother. So, you can understand what she means to me. I'm her only godson and I am not going anywhere."
Xia Zhao observed the emotions in his eyes and found it fascinating that this confident and slightly arrogant young man was actually very scared of losing his godmother. And this fact alone could explain to Xia Zhao how much Mu Chenyan meant to him.
"You don't have to go anywhere. No one is asking you to."
"No one can send me away."
Xia Zhao gave him a comforting smile, "I never had an experience with kids. So, I don't mind having a big son like you."
"What are you talking about?"
"I'm dating your godmother, shouldn't I get the role of a godfather?"
"You seem very eager?"
"Who told my godson to be so adorable?"
Hyson laughed at that, "I do love people complimenting me but it seems weird right now. So, don't do that again." He took a pause and turned serious, "What I heard about you tells me that you're a great guy. And if anything, no one is a better choice for my godmother than you. So, that alone is enough for me to not have any issues with you. Although it's a pointless reminder, I'd still say, be nice to Yanyan. She supported me and Raelle for years and made us who we are today. But if possible, we'd like you to become her support now. Someone she can lean on and relax. Because no matter how much we grow up, she can't seem to relax but instead keeps getting more and more anxious."
"Even the words you and Raelle say are the same. You guys make good friends."
"There is no doubt about that."
"And you don't have to worry about what you just said. I had always been here for Yan Zi. It's just she who took her sweet time look back at me."
"Tsk. Don't think I don't know that you didn't even realize you loved her until now."
Xia Zhao put his fist in front of his mouth and coughed, "Well, I'll accept that. But it still won't change the fact that I have always been waiting for her. Even if I didn't know it was because of love, I was still hoping for her to look back and allow me to become her pillar of support."
Hyson stared at his face for a while and sighed, "I had a lot of things to say when I faced my birth father, strangely, I feel like I have nothing more to say to you. Because you seem too mature and knowledgeable. It seems like my reminders are unnecessary."
Xia Zhao smiled at him the same way that Mu Chenyan smiled at him and this realization stunned Hyson for a moment. He didn't think Xia Zhao would look at him the same way Mu Chenyan did. But he knew it was because of Mu Chenyan. And seeing this only proved to Hyson that his worries were really unnecessary. This man took Mu Chenyan and everything related to her way too seriously.
He was really willing to treat him as a godson just like Mu Chenyan and he wasn't just saying it.
Hyson mentally tsked at this realization and wondered what kind of love was this now? Why did everyone around him have different kinds of love? Wasn't love the same?
