Chapter 1066: [Bonus chapter] Looking Forward

Chapter 1066: [Bonus chapter] Looking Forward"As if before this whenever I told you to scram, you really did," said Raelle. "You have never been that obedient. You and I both know that."        

Hyson smirked at that, "But then aren't you the same? Everyone thinks you're obedient too. But you and I both know how much of a lie that is. There is no one more scheming than you around here. Your obedience wasn't any different than mine."    

"Isn't that why we are still here together?" asked Raelle. "Didn't you say you'd come straight to the banquet hall?"    

"I changed my mind," replied Hyson. "I wanted to see you first." Then he pulled her up from the lounge chair and made her stand up before him. He even made her twirl for him. He was really doing whatever he wanted without any obstructions. It showed how Hyson was allowed to do whatever he wanted and no one would stop him. Not even Raelle.     

He tapped his chin in satisfaction once he was done looking.    

"Like what you see?"    

"If I didn't, I wouldn't have insisted on being your friend," was Hyson's response. "You're not the only one who likes pretty faces. I'm the same." Taking a pause, he said, "You look breathtaking, Ellie."    

"I know."    

Hyson rolled his eyes at her response. "Can you be a little less narcissistic for today?"    

"No!"    

Hyson sighed, "Whatever. Where are your heels?"    

Raelle looked around saying, "I was gonna look for the heels. Well, there is still time. I'll find them later."    

Hyson shook his head at her and went around looking for her matching heels. He found the heels beside the dressing table. He took them and went to Raelle's side. He kneeled down in front of her and extended his hand. Raelle naturally put her foot in his hand as he put on her heels for her attentively. His movements were practiced and smooth.      

He was only satisfied after she was all ready.      

"Now, nothing is missing," said Hyson.      

"What about you?" asked Raelle. "Aren't you gonna get ready?"    

"I was born ready, baby!"    

"Want a beating?"    

Hyson coughed, "No. Not today. You should be nice for one day. It's a special day."    

"I don't want to be nice," said Raelle. "And why do you keep looking at me? It's not the first time you're seeing me."    

Hyson smiled at her, "I'm just a little nostalgic. It feels like yesterday that you and I crossed paths on a road we both didn't know. Today, you're getting engaged. I feel like the time just flew away."    

Raelle looked at his expression and said, "What is wrong with you all? I'm already married. Why are you even acting like this? What's with this trip down the nostalgia lane today?"    

Hyson sighed at her, "Ellie, you just don't understand. It's hard to describe our feelings. Although you're married, it didn't feel like much when that happened. We were all pretty chill back then. In fact, I only knew you got married when you sent me the pictures from right outside the Civil Affairs Bearue." He took a pause and added, "But it's different this time around. And since it's different, it brings out different feelings too. Stop complaining. And let us all do what we want to and feel what we want to. It's not like you have to pay for our feelings."    

"Can I pay you to stop these feelings?" asked Raelle.    

Hyson gave her a disdainful look, "You're putting a price on our feelings? How offensive!" Then he rubbed his nose and asked in a lower voice, "How much are you paying though?"    

Raelle didn't even want to talk to him anymore and turned her head away.        

"Did Yanyan tell you?" asked Hyson.    

"About what?"    

"About whether Justin is really Weimin Ge's son or not? And if yes, then how? what exactly when wrong?"    

Raelle looked at him and responded, "She isn't telling me anything. But I think we'll find out today."    

Hyson rubbed his hands, "Oh, we have something to look forward to."    

"I thought you were here for my engagement. Clearly, I was wrong," said Raelle.    

Hyson shrugged, "Clearly, you didn't want me to look forward to your engagement. So, I'll find some other entertainment for myself." Then he added, "Also, what's there to look forward to about your engagement? Do I look like I'm here to see you spreading dog food with Xian Ge? Well, guess what? No!"    

Raelle gave him a look, "Traitor."    

"You're no better," Hyson threw back at her. "You're the one who chose love over friendship. I decided to follow your lead. As always. I'm just following you."    

"You? You're actually following me?" asked Raelle. "Is your memory malfunctioning? Let me remind you clearly how it was always who made me follow your whims."    

"And eventually, you're the winner," Hyson shot back again. "If my whim is to go eat ice cream then you have to make me eat the flavor of your choice. So, who is the winner? Clearly, you!"    

Raelle didn't respond to that since she couldn't deny it at all.    

"This is why I said you're more scheming because you really know how to play this game."    

"Then you should have learned better from me."    

"I think I'm good for now."    

"Suit yourself," said Raelle. "You'll be seeing your father today. How are you feeling?"    

"It's not the first time," replied Hyson.      

"But it's the first time he is aware of the fact that you are his son," reminded Raelle. "Now, that I think about it. It seems there is really a lot to look forward to on my engagement."    

Hyson chuckled at her words, "Did you just notice?" Shaking his head, he added, "Man, I tried so hard to push Captain away but he keeps running back, trying to worm his way into my life."    

"Then there is no need to even ask, he is definitely your brother. Even his tactics are the same as yours."    

"Hey, I didn't worm my way into your life like this," argued Hyson.    

"Nope, it's exactly the same. The only difference would be that your shamelessness knew no bounds. I think Zhai Yanjun can't compete on that with you yet."
