Chapter 756 Marriage At Stake
Of course, Cui Xukun was the pig in this scenario, and it certainly amused Hyson to no end. But these remarks made Cloe feel very warm in her heart. How could she not be feeling warm? She now had Mu Chenyan as her backer! Wow! This feeling of hugging the fattest thigh was too good.
As for how naturally Mu Chenyan said that she was always standing behind Cloe, it was even more heartwarming to Cloe who had long felt like she was all alone on this journey.
Mu Chenyan on the other hand didn't have so many thoughts about what she said. She meant every word she said. She pulled out her black shades and wore them handsomely. She was also very clear about the people she was willing to stand up for. For whatever reason she picked Cloe back then to stay beside Raelle, today, the reason was simple; Cloe was very sincere towards Raelle.
And from the moment Mu Chenyan had held Raelle in her arms, her thinking had changed a lot. Now, she judged people only in two ways. One who is good to her Elle and two who are not good to her Elle. And she had a very clear distinction between the two as well. If you're not good to her Elle, she didn't mind making you disappear from the face of the earth. But if you're good to her Elle, she'd be willing to offer you the whole world.
As always, she was just that biased when it came to Raelle. Even the people around her were judged on the basis of their attitude towards Raelle.
Mu Chenyan was very clear about Cloe's family situation and although she despised those parents who used their kids for their own purposes, she couldn't do anything. At least, not until Cloe asked her to do something for her. For now, she was willing to offer support to Cloe unconditionally because she knew her Elle would do the same for Cloe.
It didn't take long before a white-colored family car came to park right beside them. Cui Xukun alighted from the car and smiled widely at Cloe.
"You should have waited inside," said Cui Xukun looking concerned. "What if you get sunburns?"
Mu Chenyan was eyeing him and gave him a nod when she noticed the concern in his eyes and his words. Hmmm... Not bad for starters.
"We just came out," stated Cloe while sneaking a peek at Mu Chenyan. "And the sun isn't that strong today."
"You should still be careful," replied Cui Xukun.
"Wow! Your eyes really don't see anyone else, eh!"
Cui Xukun moved his eyes away from Cloe once he heard that and looked at Hyson in surprise. He frowned since Hyson was wearing his face mask and cap, he couldn't recognize him immediately.
Hyson lowered his face mask to show his face to him saying, "How can you forget me so soon? I'm the wave that gave your ship a push to sail into the deeper sea."
He seemed very proud of himself and Cloe chuckled at his remark. But technically, he wasn't all that wrong. If Hyson hadn't been in Cloe's apartment that day, Cui Xukun wouldn't even know how slow his relationship progress with Cloe would be now.
"Hi!" Cui Xukun greeted him. "How are you?"
"I'm a sunshine boy," was Hyson's reply. "I'm always bright like the sunshine."
"There can be cloudy days like today," Cloe chimed in.
"On those days, I'm cloudy boy," stated Hyson with no hesitation.
Cui Xukun wanted to relax but for some reason, standing before Cloe, his nerves had been taut. And only when Mu Chenyan took off her shades, did he knows why. This woman had been staring at him intently with narrowed eyes. There was a sharp look in her eyes as if she could peel off his skin and uncover his soul.
He suddenly felt cold and unnerved.
"Not that bad," said Mu Chenyan.
Cloe took the initiative to introduce, "Kun, this is Miss Mu Chenyan. She is... She is someone I respect very much. She is like an elder to me. Just like family."
Mu Chenyan was satisfied to hear that and extended her hand toward Cui Xukun, "Pleasure to meet you."
Cui Xukun held her hand and instantly regretted it. Bloody hell! How was she so strong?! He felt like she was gonna crush his bones and it made him wince but he didn't want to show his pained expression to Cloe. That'd be embarrassing!
"Weak!" was Mu Chenyan's evaluation when she let his hand go. "But not that unacceptable."
Cui Xukun finally knew what was going on. Cloe said she was like family so she was actually evaluating him right now?! And it seems, he didn't do a good job at impressing her. He suddenly felt remorseful. He shouldn't be lazy. He should join the gym again and go there diligently. How could he lose to a woman like this?
Cloe looked at Cui Xukun's hand which was trembling slightly. Of course, he was trying to control the trembling but it wasn't successful as of yet.
"You okay?" asked Cloe. "Did she go really hard on you?"
"I didn't," said Mu Chenyan in her defense. "I was being very nice."
Cui Xukun's lips twitched when he heard that. She was being nice? So, that was nice? How would his hand end up if she wasn't being nice? He shuddered at the thought and shook it off. It was better not to think at all.
Suddenly, the window of the car's backseat rolled down and two small heads craned out as they cried, "Sister Cloe! Sister Cloe!"
Cloe looked at those turnip heads and her smile widened instantly.
Mu Chenyan looked at the kids and looked at Cui Xukun, "You have kids as well? Should I start reevaluating you?"
Cui Xukun suddenly felt like his future was looking bleak. It wasn't even the first time when people mistook his niece and nephew as his own kids. He should be immune to it but this time, it was his own marriage at stake!
