Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 473 - High-Five!



Chapter 473 – High-Five!

Xiang Wai was the first to receive her cake and she left the bakery. Behind her, Hyson and Cloe kept on chattering nonstop like two long-lost friends. Surprisingly, these two had endless things to fool around with. 

After they took their cakes and walked out, Hyson looked at the sky and sighed, "I say, time passed too quickly."

Cloe had to agree with him, "You are right." She felt so lighthearted after messing around with Hyson. Whatever tiredness she had of the day seemed to be washed away. "By the way, I forgot to ask, how are you doing?"

"I discharged a long while ago," reminded Hyson. "How do you think I'd be?"

"I'm genuinely concerned here," said Cloe. 

"I'm fine," replied Hyson. "I wasn't critically injured or something."

"Wow! You really take internal bleeding too lightly, eh?" 

Hyson shrugged, "I survived. Didn't I? Why would I dwell on the fact of whether it was life-threatening or not? Maybe it was, but so what? I'm out of danger now, no? Why bother ruining my mood by recalling it again and again?"

Cloe shook her head, "I really underestimated your optimism. My bad!"

Hyson patted her head, "Although you're older than me, let me give you a few of my golden words as advice. It's for free." Cloe amusedly raised her brow waiting for him to continue. "Always live your life like it's a one-way street. Whether you fell on the pothole on the journey or had to jump over the death valley to get where you are, just remember, it's all in the past. If you continue to turn your head and look back at what you had to go through then you're only wasting your time and delaying your journey ahead! And who knows while reminiscing about the previous pothole, you might miss your step and fall into another pothole!"

Cloe had to admit that his words made her reflect on her life for a while. Seriously, with that adorable face, how did he always end up speaking so deeply? 

"By the way, I'm also joining the shooting crew the after tomorrow," informed Hyson. 

Cloe was surprised to hear that. "That soon? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I'm telling you now," said Hyson. "Actually, why don't you join us for dinner tomorrow night?"

"At Chief's house?" 

"That's not her house," replied Hyson. "At this point, it should be called her paternal house."

Cloe chuckled, "I guess I shouldn't come. It's a family dinner, anyway."

"It's not like it'd be your first time," Hyson pointed out. "Besides, whether you come or not is absolutely up to you. But let me remind you, if you come, you'll get to meet my mum. And I have to say, I'm a possessive person. It's not every day that I allow people to meet my mum."

"I'm in!" Cloe didn't even think again before agreeing. How could she refuse now? She was looking forward to meeting his mother. And besides, the other two people at that house, namely Mu Chenyan and Grandfather Xiang were already familiar with her. It'd definitely not be awkward for her to go over for dinner. She have had eaten way too many meals with those people.

"Great! Now, give me a high-five!" Saying that Hyson raised his hand but like a complete bully, he raised his hand high. To the point that Cloe couldn't possibly reach it with her height. Cloe glared at him and he smiled, "What are you waiting for? High five?"

Cloe took a deep breath and jumped up to high five but she just couldn't reach his hand. This bully was really tall for no good reason!

"How can you bully your fan like this?" grumbled Cloe. "That's not what an idol should do."

"Okay, I'll lower it," Hyson lowered his hand and she happily brought her hand up to high five with him but this bully, moved his hand to the side and she missed. He gaped at her, "How can you be so clumsy? My hand is here?"

Cloe closed her eyes to hold herself back before she tried again but he again, moved his hand. 

"I think your eyes are playing a joke on you," said Hyson keeping his face straight even though she couldn't see it. But so what if she couldn't see his expression? She could tell he was having fun doing this. "You can't even see where my hand is."

Cloe glared at him, "More like, you're playing a joke on me!" She lifted her hand and pinched his arm then his waist, making him step away from her.

"Ge, have you ever had a friendship like that?" asked Xiang Wai when she noticed where her brother was looking after getting into the car. She had also noticed how Hyson and Cloe were still following around without a care for the world. 

"Huh?" Xiang Weimin looked at her in confusion.

"A friendship where you can fool around, forgetting about everything else?" elaborated Xiang Wai.

"You and I both know I don't have friends," replied Xiang Weimin. "Besides, how do you know they are friends? They could be dating as well."

"Nope," said Xiang Wai certainly. "I met them in the bakery earlier, they definitely didn't sound like they are dating."

"And when did my sister start paying attention to others around her?" questioned Xiang Weimin.

"It's not like I wanted to," replied Xiang Wai as she started the car. "It's just that… That guy in a mask and hat grabbed my attention."

"Grabbed your attention?"

"Hmm…" she hummed in response. "I didn't see his face but he had a beautiful voice. It had a calming effect as if he was putting you under some kind of a spell. Even when was teasing the girl beside him, the tone of his voice didn't change. All in all, I feel like even if he was swearing out, it'd still sound pleasing."

Xiang Weimin's lips curled up slightly and he actually agreed with his sister inwardly.. Even though Hyson's words sounded harsh, he couldn't bring himself to be angry at him.
