Chapter 754 Adult World
"That was your boyfriend," that sounded like a statement rather than a question. Of course, Hyson didn't have to ask. The gentleness reflected in Cloe's eyes was too obvious. "What? He is missing you already?"
Cloe smiled at him, "He is."
Hyson looked at her expression of showing off and chuckled, "Well, he should be."
Cloe's smile deepened when she heard that and told him, "He said he is coming to pick me up."
Hyson looked at the time and nodded, "Right. You've been here for a while. It's your day off anyway. You should enjoy it while you can. Tomorrow is gonna be a busy day."
Amiah had already taken her leave while Cloe was talking on the phone. And since they weren't even close or on good terms, Cloe didn't ask about her. She helped pack up the food boxes with Hyson and turned to leave.
"What are you hesitating for?" asked Hyson.
"Oh, I'm wondering if I should tell Chief that I'm leaving," replied Cloe.
"There is no need," said Hyson. He didn't think Raelle even had time for them right now. Even though they took a long time to eat and even sat together for a while, he was still certain that Raelle didn't have time for them. It wasn't possible that Raelle just called Mu Chenyan over for lunch.
There was definitely something behind this and he just needed to mind his business. After all, she asked him to take Amiah and Cloe out.
"How's your relationship with Director Jade?" asked Cloe.
Hyson fixed his face mask and lowered the tip of his cap as he frowned, "What do you mean?"
"I mean is she still making things difficult for you?" asked Cloe.
Hyson shook his head, "No. I'm fine. She is the director, I'm the actor. There is nothing more to it. It's not like I go out of my way to interact with her. And neither does she. I think we can just continue this way till the shooting ends."
"And then?"
Hyson raised his brow at that, "And then what? After that, we go our own way. What else could be there?"
Cloe recalled the way Amiah continued to stare at Hyson as he ate and her eyes had an obscure guise. She thought of the possibility of overthinking when she heard how Hyson and Amiah rarely had any personal interactions. But she couldn't disregard what she saw with her own eyes as well.
Hyson was... Well, Hyson! He obviously could notice everything but he couldn't see if someone was interested in him. As Hyson's diehard fan, she had to pay attention to her idol's love life. For now, the love life was blank and she obviously didn't see any possibility in the near future. It's just that, just because Hyson wasn't interested, it didn't mean he won't attract bees and butterflies.
"Nothing," she replied. "I was just asking. After all, even if she stopped being your director, she'll still be Shui Xian's little sister. And since you're Chief's little brother, it's inevitable that you'll run into her."
Hyson had a thoughtful look as he also realized this point and said, "Well, since she is Xian Ge's sister, I'll reluctantly treat her as an acquaintance."
"Acquaintance?"
"Or else?" retorted Hyson. "You don't expect me to befriend her, right? Having a friend like me is expensive, she can't afford it!"
"Right, only Chief can afford it since she is very rich," Cloe beamed with a twinkle in her eyes.
They were happily chatting when Hyson's eyes got stuck on Mu Chenyan. No, it was more like his eyes got stuck on her hand that was ruffling the hair of a wild kid! Where did that wild kid even come from?!
He almost roared right there before he ran over and pulled his Yanyan away from that wild kid. Pulling her behind him, he looked at the wild kid with a vigilant appearance.
Mu Chenyan was surprised to see Hyson suddenly appearing but she was even more taken aback by his behavior. She wanted to ask him what was up when it suddenly clicked. Ah! He was, after all, Raelle's best friend. How could he be different than her? He was equally possessive of his own people!
And guess what? Mu Chenyan was added into 'his people'.
And since she was part of his people, he was like a kitten now whose territory was being eyed. Well, she was supposed to call him a tiger but please, spare Mu Chenyan who really couldn't bring herself to call him a tiger. He'd always be just a kitten to her.
"Why are you looking for wild kids outside?" he asked. "Aren't the babies at home pretty enough? Look at me! I'm so obedient and cute. I'm also very handsome and a nice guy. How can you look at others?"
Mu Chenyan pursed her lips before raising her hand to touch his head but Hyson stepped back.
"Yoou just touched a wild kid with those paws of yours."
Mu Chenyan laughed out at that and said, "So, you don't want me to touch you now?"
Hyson thought about it and felt like it was his own loss. So, he obediently took a step over and let her touch his head. As if she was soothing his ruffled fur, she stroked him while asking, "When are you gonna grow up?"
"Not so soon," he replied seriously. "Adult world is no fun."
Mu Chenyan shook her head and told him, "That's my nephew. His name is Gou Liang. He is younger than you. You can call him Xiao Liang."
"Why should I call him that?" asked Hyson.
"Oh, aren't you my son?" asked Mu Chenyan and Hyson nodded without even missing a beat. "Then if you're my son, and he is my nephew, that makes him your cousin. Got it? As a big brother, you're supposed to be nice to him?" This kind of logic was really something that ran in this family. And only they could understand it as well.
