Chapter 33 - Husband, You’re Impressive
Just as Hyson had told Raelle, he was really feeling down today. Spending time with Raelle was tiring and a challenge, but he still loved it. At least, she really managed to lift his mood somewhat!
Later, he didn't go to the dorms where he lived with his group's members. Today, he chose to visit his mother instead. But seeing that she was busy with her customers when he came, he went to his room and directly went to sleep. It was a good opportunity to catch up on some sleep.
It was around 5 o'clock in the evening when he woke up because he felt someone shaking him. He groggily turned to his side and looked at his mother who had her hands on her waist and stared at him angrily.
"What?" he hurriedly questioned. "Why are you so angry?"
He looked at his mother's hands as she told him through gestures, 'Is this your time to sleep? Did you come home to sleep?' ƒ𝔯𝗲𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧oѵℯl.𝒄𝑜m
Hyson kneeled on the bed and hugged her waist saying, "No, I came to hug my mom. But mom was busy when I came, so I just decided to sleep. Besides, you should be happy that I'm resting."
His mother curled her fingers and knocked on his head. He pulled away as she made hand gestures to let him know, 'I'm not upset that you're resting. I'm upset because you went to sleep without eating anything.'
"Oh..." was all he said looking at his mother's small frame. Yes, his mother couldn't speak. And he did grow up in a single-parent home. Growing up, his family wasn't well to do but his mother worked hard enough to provide him with everything he needed. He rubbed his stomach and grinned, "Now that I think about it, I'm pretty hungry. Mom, how about you make me some hot and sour noodle soup?"
His mother stroked his head lovingly and nodded her head.
As she left his room, he got up to freshen up. He was feeling refreshed and energetic after this nap. He found his phone from the bedside table and was surprised to see so many missed calls and messages. He realized his phone had been on silent and that's why he didn't hear anything. As he was about to unlock the phone, his phone rang again.
Seeing his manager's name on the screen, he took a deep breath and answered the call, "Brother Yi, you're looking for me?"
"You didn't come to the dorm?"
"Wanted to spend some time with my mom," he replied honestly.
"That's alright then," replied Brother Yi. "I called you to inform you that tomorrow we'll be having a meeting. I'll come to pick you up so be ready."
"Yes, I'll be ready," Hyson replied and hung up the phone.
Then, he scrolled through the notifications and found that he had a message from Raelle. He was a bit taken aback by this sudden surprise. She'd rarely send a message. Usually, if she was trying to contact him, she'd directly make a call as she found it less bothersome. Typing was definitely 'Troublesome.'
He clicked on the chat and saw the photo that came before his eyes. His phone literally slid out of his hand and fell down. He was blankly staring at his hands which held nothing now. He didn't know how long he spent like that before slowly and carefully, he picked up the phone and saw the photo again.
He could recognize Raelle but he could also recognize the man sitting beside her!!! And that's why he ended up dropping his phone because he was shocked. He repeatedly blinked and changed the angle but the man looked exactly like he remembered.
He hurriedly dialed Raelle's number. The latter had just reached the restaurant where they were supposed to have dinner with family. She alighted from the car and answered the call.
"You! Did you really just got married to Shui Xian? As in Master Xian?"
Raelle's voice didn't change as she replied, "Yes. Why? Did you think it's a joke?"
Hyson shook his head which she couldn't obviously see, "No! I already know you don't joke. I'm just in a bit of a shock."
"Shock? Why?" questioned Raelle.
"You're right, there is nothing shocking about this. There are only a few people in this country who can match you in status and looks both. And Master Xian is definitely the one at the top. I shouldn't be shocked at all."
"You know my husband?"
Hyson rolled his eyes at her since she wasn't around. "Elle! Who doesn't know your husband in this whole country? Although he rarely shows his face in the media, I'm not that oblivious to forget him. Shui Conglomerate is a Tech Giant around here! They are the largest video game vendors in the whole world! They are among the largest social media, venture capital, and investment corporations. I'd be an idiot if I don't know him."
"Oh..." was Raelle's response. "I didn't know my husband was this impressive."
Shui Xian had just come around to her side when he heard that and frowned slightly, "What?"
Raelle looked at his face and repeated, "Husband, you're impressive!"
While Shui Xian stared at her strangely, Hyson was facepalming himself. With Raelle personality, he didn't even have to think much to know that she must haven't even bothered to search anything about this husband of hers.
"You're with him right now?" he asked.
"En."
"Suddenly, I really pity your husband."
"What for?"
"He has to deal with you," replied Hyson. "I'm hanging up now. By the way, congratulations on your marriage!" 𝘧𝗿ee𝚠𝙚𝙗𝑛o𝚟𝐞l.𝐜૦𝗺
Before Raelle could say anything, he had already disconnected the call. Staring at the screen, she muttered, "Being my friend, whose side are you on?"
"Are you planning on standing here for the rest of the evening?"
Raelle looked up at Shui Xian who had extended his hand towards her. She looked at his hand for a while before holding it as she said, "No no. Definitely not gonna stand here."
