Chapter 590 - Personal Attack

Hyson hugged himself and slid his chair away from her saying, "You can't steal me. I'm not up for grabs."

He Rou chuckled at his response and shook her head, "Silly! But what should I do? I really want to kidnap you back home."

"Sister-in-law, you shouldn't try to dig your own grave." He very thoughtfully suggested to her. "Even if you really succeeded in kidnapping me, do you think my family is a joke?"

He Rou tsked in disappointment, "That's the problem here. If only your family was easy to deal with." She shook off these thoughts and asked, "How about we go to KTV tonight?"

"How about a no?" was Hyson's response.

He Rou pouted at him, "Don't be a spoilsport now. I am bored after working for days."

"Then find a different partner to go with," said Hyson. "I'm not going. What if someone took a picture of us and created a scandal? I don't wanna be involved with you at all."

"Am I a virus?" she asked him. "Why do you want to keep a distance from me? Besides, we won't be going alone. Of course, I'll get other people to join us. Don't be always cooped up in your room. Come out and have fun. Don't you love singing? That's why I especially chose KTV!"

Hyson thought about it for a minute before agreeing, "Fine. I'll join you. Now, stop talking." With that, he closed his eyes to rest.

"Are you sleepy? So, you've really not been sleeping well?"

Hyson peeled open his eyes and looked at her, "Sister-in-law, please go away!"

"Okay," although He Rou was really reluctant, she still went away. Anyway, she had to get her makeup re-touched since the next scene was hers. It was better to just leave now. She got him to agree to come out tonight anyway.

Hyson suddenly stood up and decided to just go back to his nanny van. Li Xinxin opened the door after five minutes and passed him a drink, "Have some orange and strawberry juice."

"Thanks," said Hyson and took it from her. He looked carefully at her and asked, "Sister Xin, you're really not leaving?"

Li Xinxin couldn't help raising her brows at him, "Why are you so eager to send me back? Besides, I only have you as my artist for now. I can definitely waste some time here in this production."

"But I thought managers like you liked to make more connections," said Hyson. 

"I already have enough connections in my hand," she told him. "Don't worry, it's not difficult for me to push you to the pinnacle of stardom with my connections and skills."

"And what if I don't wish to reach that pinnacle of stardom?" he inquired.

Li Xinxin looked at him helplessly, "You're really a talented but unambitious star."

Hyson shrugged his shoulders, "I never had ambitions in life. Oh, wait! I only had one ambition and I have long accomplished it." He had a small smile playing at the corner of his lips when he said that. After all, his only ambition was to make Raelle his best friend and he has long gotten that. In his opinion, that was more difficult than ascending to heaven!

"Then you rest," said Li Xinxin and closed the door of the van to block out the sounds from the set. The peace returned to the enclosed space and Hyson sighed in relief.

He sipped on the fresh juice and quite enjoyed it. He rummaged out his phone and scrolled through his social media. He only entered his close friends' circle and the very first post already got his attention. 

He couldn't stop himself and call the person who posted this photo.

"Fai!" 

Hyson had to pull the phone away from his ear because as always Cloe's excitement was a little too much for him. "Yo, sister, you're really moving fast."

"What are you talking about?" asked Cloe as she stuck one finger in one ear to block the noise from around her while the other ear had the phone pressed against it. 

"I say, you just got together and your kids already grew this much! The world is really a magical place."

Cloe rolled her eyes, "Oh, please! You... Forget it! I can't even yell at you for speaking such nonsense."

"Oh? Why not?" he asked curiously as if he already didn't know.

"Fai, as if you don't know?" she tsked at herself. "How can I yell at you? My whole person just melts even when your name is mentioned. In fact, you are no different to me than these little kids around me. Wait! You might even be cuter!"

"I'm suddenly questioning why I did I even bother calling you?" Hyson sighed to himself.

"But I'm glad you did," she told him. "I've been so worried about you. How are you? Don't tire yourself too much."

Hyson chuckled, "Stop thinking about me. Pay attention to the person beside you."

"How do you know someone is beside me?" she asked him in surprise and even looked around to see if he was somewhere near.

"Stop looking. I'm not there." Those words shocked her even more. "And I don't have to be there to know who you are with. Those kids aren't yours. And you have no one who has kids around this age. It has to be Soren's kids. And considering how Soren is your boyfriend's brother-in-law, it's not hard to guess that you're a babysitter today."

"The more I listen to you, the more I understand why you managed to become Chief's best friend," she mumbled. "I'd be a pity if you weren't her best friends. Considering how you both are so perceptive and think so far ahead within seconds. It's scary."

"It's called using your common sense," he told her. "But it seems common sense isn't really so common these days."

"Hey, that's a personal attack!"

"Listen," he suddenly said. "I only called to tell you that I'm very happy with your progress. You're a very good learner and I like that. So, learn well and I don't mind if you have a kid by this time next year."

Cloe spurted out the drink in her mouth when she heard that and heard Hyson laughing as he said goodbye and hung up the phone before she could even react. Fuck! This boy was really not as innocent as he appeared to be!
