Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 243 - Tyrant



"Just one more bite," rang a gentle elderly voice inside the hospital room.

Grandfather Xiang was feeding Hyson with his own hands without feeling anything wrong with this situation. Yes, Hyson was old enough to eat on his own but how can be the second spoiled one in this family if he did that. 

Hyson was whining as he shook his head, "That's enough, Opa! I don't want to eat anymore."

"You can't survive on intravenous drips, my little prince," said Grandfather Xiang. "Just eat a little more."

Hyson pouted unhappily, "Then get me something else to eat. I can't eat anymore of this bland congee. I hate it."

"Just bear with it for a couple more days," Grandfather Xiang seemed to be coaxing him like he was a little kid. "I promised you before that you'll get anything you like as soon as you get better. For now, you can only eat light things. Liquid food is best for you that's easy on the stomach."

*Knock! Knock!*

A bodyguard stepped inside and informed, "Elder Xiang, Young Master Fai has guests."

"Who is it?" asked Hyson.

"Mr. Pei Zi Hong and Miss He Rou."

Hyson's brows jumped up in surprise and soon he ended up smiling, "Let them in."

"Since your friends are here, I'm gonna go out for a couple of hours. Take care of yourself. I'll come back soon," said Grandfather Xiang.

"Opa, my cotton and candy..."

Grandfather Xiang shook his head at his request, "I'll ask someone to bring your cotton and candy to you."

"Yay!" Hyson almost jumped on the bed in happiness.

Grandfather Xiang left when Pei Zi Hong was led inside Hyson's room with He Rou in tow. Since Pei Zi Hong was Hyson's bandmate, it wasn't odd that he was here to check up on him. But as for He Rou... Well, even though she was in the same crew as him, they weren't really acquainted. It was surprising that these two people would come to see him together.

Entering the room, Pei Zi Hong almost ran over to Hyson's side as he checked him up and down, "Xiao Fai, how are you? Does it still hurt? I heard you had to get surgery as well. Was it serious? How could you not even tell me about it? We have been together for years and yet you hid your condition from me."

Pei Zi Hong wouldn't have learned about Hyson's condition if it wasn't for He Rou. And when he did learn about it last night, he was truly mad at Hyson for not even bothering to tell him or anyone from their group. Even though he knew that Hyson liked to keep to himself, he was still angry about the current situation.

"Zi Hong Ge, you also didn't tell me that Miss He Rou is the girlfriend in your scandal online," Hyson shot back instantly.

Pei Zi Hong was stumped for words as he gazed at Hyson who smiled innocently at him. But in all these years, Pei Zi Hong had come to understand Hyson somewhat and that's why he could tell what was behind this innocence. 

"You're just as keen as always," remarked Pei Zi Hong. 

Hyson shrugged his shoulders, "When I first joined the group, Zhen Ge gave me a piece of advice. He said this glamorous world might swallow me up if I didn't keep my eyes open."

Pei Zi Hong smiled softly, "Zhen Ge has been quite protective of you from the first day you joined us." Then he held He Rou's hand and made her stand beside him as he went on, "I never intended on hiding her from you all. But when the scandal broke out, not even one of you asked about the identity of my girlfriend."

"We knew you must have your reason to hide it," answered Hyson. He also looked at He Rou and added, "And see, we were right. She is a top movie actress. Your scandal will only get bigger if her identity got mixed in."

He Rou pursed her lips and said, "I'm sorry, Hyson. I should have taken care of you at the crew. Even when Zi Hong asked me especially to take care of you, I couldn't do a good job. I'm really sorry for that."

Hyson shook his hands saying, "Oh, please! Don't be like that. It's my first time meeting you as my Zi Hong Ge's girlfriend. Don't make me a scum by saying sorry like this." He gave Pei Zi Hong a look and continued, "What if Ge beat me to pulp behind your back? He won't let me live in peace if I made his girlfriend upset."

"Stop talking nonsense, Xiao Fai," said Pei Zi Hong. "I'm not a tyrant."

Hyson smiled at him, "Of course, you're not. You're just a good friend and an even better brother to me." His smile deepened and he took a moment to inquire, "By the way, I don't think the news of my injury got on the news. How did you learn about it? Even if Miss He told you about my injury, how did she know about my surgery?"

"Sora told me that you have had surgery two days ago," answered He Rou for him. "Apparently, she learned it from her brother and was worried. But she couldn't find a way to reach you. I asked my grandfather and he helped me in learning about which hospital you're staying in."

"Wow! Miss He's family is resourceful," said Hyson.

"As if yours isn't," retorted Pei Zi Hong.

Hyson gave him a look, "Zi Hong Ge, my family is very simple."

"Simple?" repeated Pei Zi Hong. "From the very first time I met you, I never believed the fact that you came from a simple family. This incident only proved me right. You and your family are anything but simple."

Hyson feigned innocence as he said, "Zi Hong Ge, I think you have some misunderstanding about me and my family."
