Chapter 758 No Doubt
"Seriously, Chenyan, how can you forget a living breathing person?" inquired Shui Koshing as he still hadn't forgotten how this woman actually left him behind.
Mu Chenyan scratched her ear and said, "To be very honest, Shing Ge, I am very capable of forgetting living breathing people." She saw his dark look and added, "But I wasn't exactly at fault here. When you left, things happened. Some people I didn't want to see ran into me and then my only thought was to escape. But then my little Fai came and I literally forgot everything and everyone. How can you remember anything with him around?"
Hyson stayed silent as he wondered how did he got involved in this? Was he just being used as a shield? But forget it! As long as the one using him was his godmother, he was okay with it.
Meanwhile, Shui Koshing also looked at Hyson and narrowed his eyes as he grunted, "Indeed, it's tough to remember anything else with him around."
Hyson smiled like a Cheshire cat at being complimented. It seemed he had a talent even he didn't know about.
"But Chenyan, who were the people you didn't want to see?" asked Shui Koshing seriously.
Mu Chenyan didn't expect he'd hold on to that point. "Just someone I used to know."
"Used to know," repeated Shui Koshing meaningfully. "Why do I feel like there is something very deep behind these simple words?"
"Maybe it's just in your head," stated Mu Chenyan.
"For someone who is always curious about others, you certainly know how to hide your own past," said Shui Koshing. Clearly, he felt uneasy about how she knew every detail regarding his wife. Even the details, he wasn't familiar with. "Why don't you ever talk about your past?"
"Is there anyone who isn't familiar with my past?" asked Mu Chenyan. "I think anyone who knows the name Mu Chenyan knows the legends associated with that name."
"However," started Shui Koshing. "There aren't many people who know the real Mu Chenyan."
"There is no mystery behind Mu Chenyan," said Mu Chenyan. "I am exactly what I appear to be."
Shui Koshing didn't question but Hyson asked, "So, who did you meet?"
"One of them was a friend I trusted but in the end, he didn't trust me enough. And the other was... Someone who used me to achieve her goal."
"So, both are not good people," concluded Hyson.
Mu Chenyan rubbed his head, "No. Don't jump to conclusions. They both are good people. They both are doctors who save lives. But they are people who just made bad choices." She hummed to herself before adding, "It's not like I'm any better than them. I have made a lot of bad choices as well. And if we think about it objectively, I'll be the one called a bad person."
"How is that possible?" Hyson strongly refuted that. "I don't know about the world. But Yanyan is the best for me. Oh, and Ellie would definitely agree with me. So, you don't listen to the world. You just listen to us instead. Only our opinion matters anyway."
Mu Chenyan chuckled at his remark, "My little cutie if I gave a damn about people's opinion, I wouldn't be Mu Chenyan." She literally was someone who didn't care about what people had to say about her. From this, it could be seen that in fact, she had impacted Raelle in more ways than it appeared to be.
After all, Raelle also never cared about anyone's opinion or how they looked at her.
"Oh, by the way, I saw Cui Xukun with Cloe," said Shui Koshing. "Was I mistaken?"
"Nope," answered Hyson for him. "Uncle Shing saw it right. That was indeed Cui Xukun with Cloe."
"Why was he with her?" asked Shui Koshing.
"They are dating," replied Hyson.
"Really?" Shui Koshing was surprised to hear that. Of course, he knew about his son's classmate and a very good friend from his youth. But he hadn't seen Cui Xukun for years, he didn't expect he'd see him here and that too as Cloe's boyfriend. "That's good news."
"Everyone is getting into a relationship," said Hyson. "Yanyan, when are you gonna get into one?"
Mu Chenyan gave him a look, "Don't look at me. You should think about yourself."
Hyson shook his head, "I'm the youngest here. You're the elder. You first!"
"If we are going by seniority, shouldn't we talk about Shing Ge instead?"
Shui Koshing didn't think he'd get into this mess while he was minding his own business. "No thanks! I'm fine."
"Don't be shy, Shing Ge!" said Mu Chenyan with a smile. "Although you aren't that young, I assure you, you're still gonna be a hot commodity on the marriage market."
Hyson 'pfft' at that while Shui Koshing gave her an ugly glare.
"Shut up!" he said. "In seniority, your brother is even older than me. Why don't you ask him to get on the marriage market?"
Mu Chenyan rubbed her chin thoughtfully, "You're actually right. That's not a bad idea. I should think about it seriously."
Shui Koshing didn't think she'd take his words seriously but he was actually looking forward to it now. His wife died only a decade ago but Xiang Hulin and Song Xin'ai had divorced for over two decades now. Wouldn't it be interesting to see how Mu Chenyan would even convince her brother who had been single for so long?
Hyson also had the same thought as Shui Koshing. He also wanted to know what Mu Chenyan was gonna do. But as he had seen Mu Chenyan's interaction with Xiang Hulin, he was certain about one thing; Xiang Hulin's attitude towards Mu Chenyan was exactly the same as Mu Chenyan's attitude towards Raelle. Both were willing to even offer their life to the other.
"I heard you told Weimin that you're gonna find him a blind date?" asked Mu Chenyan.
"I did," replied Hyson.
"Found the candidate?" she asked in amusement.
"Not yet," he answered. "It needs more thinking. But don't worry."
"I'm not worried at all," replied Mu Chenyan. "I have no doubt in your choice."
