Chapter 1272 Poisonous

Chapter 1272 Poisonous

Shui Xian didn't even look behind him as he replied, "And what do you have to say about yourself, Fai?"

"Me?" Hyson pointed at himself as he came over to stand in front of them. "I am the most generous person around."

"Generous?" repeated Shui Xian with a strange expression. "Do you want me to remind you of our very first dinner together where Raelle introduced us to each other? You showed your generosity very well there."

Hyson pursed his lips and pretended to be amnesiac, "What are you talking about Xian Ge? Why can't I recall it?"

Shui Xian snickered, "I know you're getting better at acting but don't use it in front of me. Between you and I, it's hard to say who is stingier."

Hyson rubbed the nape of his neck and then shrugged nonchalantly. "Ellie, my darling, how are you?"

"You've gained weight," was Raelle's response which was like an arrow straight to Hyson's heart.

"How can you say that? I am trying to lose weight for my role. I soon have to look like a malnourished and haggard guy. I can't gain weight at this point or I'll delay things."

"So, you won't be eating the cake later?"

Hyson was stumped, "No! I have to eat it!"

Shui Xian shook his head, "So much for your conviction."

"Xian Ge, you've changed." n((o/(v-.e(-L.(b/-1.(n

"You've said that before."

"I want to repeat it. So what? What are you gonna do about that?"

"Why are you arguing with my husband?" asked Raelle.

"Ellie?" Hyson gave her an aggrieved look.

"Husband, don't argue with him too."

"Okay."

"But on a serious note, you should be careful with the cake," said Shui Xian.

"Why?" asked Hyson curiously.

"Because your brother baked it himself."

Hyson's eyes widened, "Weimin Ge knows how to bake a cake?"

"Not until now," said Raelle. "He wanted to do something special for his son but out of all the things others suggested, he felt like it'll be more intimate and heartfelt if he baked the cake himself. Mind you, he is someone who is good at calculations but how good he is at baking is up for a debate considering all the cakes he baked in the past week were..."

"Weird," Shui Xian finished the sentence for her. "Weird?"

"Yeah. For the first day, he even made a salty cake. I had such high expectations and almost vomited my dinner after taking a bite."

"Pfft!" Hyson burst out laughing when he heard that. "Serves you right for being greedy."

"If you're here, you won't be any different," said Shui Xian.

"No way. I am such a sensible guy."

"Who said that?"

Hyson pointed towards Xia Zhao who sat with Grandfather Xiang and said, "He said it just yesterday."

Shui Xian followed his gaze and looked at Xia Zhao. He raised his brow and asked, "Do you think he made a mistake?"

"Ge, you can't do this to me. Are you burning the bridges after crossing? Just because Raelle is deep in love with you and you don't need me anymore to learn about her? How can you be so mean?"

Shui Xian rubbed his head, "You can lack anything in this world except your dramatic behavior." He hugged his shoulder and asked, "So, how was your talk with Mr. Xia?"

"Interesting," replied Hyson.

"What's your impression of him?"

"He seemed like a mysterious person and profound but once you bring up Yanyan, he becomes very normal and approachable."

Shui Xian nodded his head, "Indeed, your eyes are as poisonous as your tongue."

"Ge?!"

Shui Xian chuckled, "That was a compliment."

"How so?"

"You see through everything. Isn't that having poisonous eyes?"

"Then his are even more poisonous," Hyson was very unconvinced.

"I can't refute that too. But I can just say that runs in their bloodline." Shui Xian patted his back, "I'm proud of you for holding your ground and not getting intimidated in front of Mr. Xia. That's the spirit."

"It isn't easy, even if he holds back in consideration of Yanyan, there is still a low aura around him that is undeniable. It's just that I'm also Yue Fai. What kind of storm hasn't I faced? How can this intimidation work on me? I never even caved when Ellie went into a rage."

Raelle stood beside them just listening to them chatting like there was no one around and found it actually quite interesting. She didn't feel left out at all. Neither did she want to get between their conversation.

"Yes, yes! You're a brave soldier. We have already established that," Shui Xian encouraged him without any scruples making Raelle give him a look. She was wondering how her husband always managed to say something like this to Hyson which would work like fuel to fire. See? Even now, with this compliment, Hyson's chest puffed up proudly and he said, "You're no worse, Ge. You're even better. You managed to make the silent storm fall in love with you so deeply. I respect you!"

"I'll take the compliment," said Shui Xian humbly.

Raelle almost rolled her eyes at the two of them.

"By the way, Ge, what did you buy for Justin? You know, the birthday gift? I was so confused that I almost lost half of my hair just picking up a gift. First, I have no experience giving gifts to kids. Second, this kid is Justin who happened to have inherited all the bad qualities of his aunt Raelle. It's too tough. Too tough for people like us."

"Thankfully, I had the company of Raelle to help," said Shui Xian with a faint hint of showing off and Hyson was really irked by that look.

Hyson made a face and took a deep breath to calm himself down. There was no point in dwelling over these unhappy things right now. "Right, you guys had your pre-wedding beach photoshoot the other day, right?"

"Yeah," answered Shui Xian with a big smile that couldn't even hide his happiness.

Hyson didn't say anything to ruin his mood right now, "When are you getting the photos? I wanna be the first one to see."

"Why?" asked Raelle.

"Because I'll help you choose the ones you can use for the wedding ceremony," said Hyson.
