Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 941: Burn

Chapter 941: Burn

Oblivious to his best friend's thoughts Hyson was playing around with his group and Cloe who was over-enthusiastic right now.         

    

"Cloe, you seem to forget me when you look at the other members. I thought I was your favorite," Hyson sounded so aggrieved when he complained to her.     

Cloe gave him a look, "I see you all the time. Don't you know that things lose value when they come to your easily?"     

Hyson gaped at her, "You! I lost my value? Aren't you afraid that your boyfriend will be jealous? He was ready to blow his top when he met me back then."     

Cloe rolled her eyes at that remark, "Forget about it. I made it very clear to him that celeb crushes are just celeb crushes. I'm not delusional enough to believe in the fantasy of dating my idol crush. I live in reality. Painful reality. And I'm very happy with my boyfriend."     

"Why don't you say it's Ellie who had been pulling you down to reality all this time?"     

Cloe cleared her throat, "You already know, why ask? Chief would never let anyone daydream. Anyone close to her will learn to be practical rather than a dreamer."     

"I think that's a good habit," said Pei Zi Hong.      

"For someone who is living his dream, you shouldn't be talking about this," said Feng Yiwen.     

Pei Zi Hong shut up instantly. Indeed, his dream was to be a star and he was living this dream. So, agreeing with the fact of being practical rather than a dreamer, really didn't suit him.      

"Hey, but at least he did something practical to achieve this dream rather than cooking dreams in his mind," said Cloe. "So, Zi Hong, you should be proud of yourself."     

"I like this fan more and more," said Pei Zi Hong. "She gives positive energy."     

"That's Hyson's effect," told Cloe.     

"No wonder it seemed familiar," said Pei Zi Hong.     

With a gossipy look, Cloe asked, "By the way, it's been a while since your dating scandal and fans still are wondering who is your girlfriend. How about you tell me? I'm very curious."     

Pei Zi Hong didn't respond to that.     

Cloe sighed, "Oh, come on! Have some faith! It's not like I'm that bored to reveal this on the internet. Pity the poor me a little who has to overwork so much these days because her boss is on vacation. The least you can do is give me some gossip to relax."     

"Just to learn that gossip, you're selling misery?" asked Hyson. "I'm impressed, Cloe! You're really learning well."     

"Oh, it can't be helped," chuckled Cloe. She still stared at Pei Zi Hong looking for an answer.     

"I'll give you a hint," said Pei Zi Hong. "She is from the entertainment industry. An actress to be specific."     

"That's it?" asked Cloe. "That's too broad scope. How am I supposed to pick one from thousands of actresses out there? Narrow it down a little."     

"Okay, she is an A-list actress."     

"The scope is still too broad!"     

Hyson pulled her away, "Stop arguing with Zi Hong Ge. It's his girlfriend who isn't ready to reveal her identity. Once their families are settled down with the news of their dating, you'll learn eventually. So, stop asking."     

Cloe narrowed her eyes at him, "You know her?"     

"Of course!"          

    

"You even met her?"     

"Even Ellie met her," replied Hyson.     

Cloe looked at her Chief and said, "I'll go ask my Chief then!"     

Seeing her leaving, Hyson chuckled, "As if Ellie will say anything. Zi Hong Ge, don't worry. Ellie won't say anything."     

Pei Zi Hong looked carefree as he said, "I know. Besides, it doesn't matter whether she tells anything or not. I was just teasing Cloe. In fact, everything is okay now."     

"Your family knows?" asked Lin Zhen.     

"No, but hers do and they are okay with it," replied Pei Zi Hong. "I left my family long ago. Their opinion doesn't matter."     

On the other hand, Cloe ran over to Raelle's side, "Chief, why are you sitting alone? How about I keep you company?"     

"Whatever you want, I'm not willing to give," was Raelle's response.     

"Chief," Cloe's smile dropped. "What are you saying? I just want to sit down with you. We haven't done this in a while after all."     

"You only sit down to talk to me when you have something on your mind," said Raelle. "It's never just to chat with me."     

Cloe made a face at her but didn't refute.     

"Now that you're here, I do have something to ask," started Raelle. "How was your meeting with Cui Xuqing?"     

Cloe looked at her, "How do you know I met her?"     

"You wouldn't bring your boyfriend here if you hadn't been to his home yet," replied Raelle. "But it's good that you brought him here. He needs to see your family. We have to let him know you're not easy to bully."     

Cloe chuckled feeling emotional. Raelle and Mu Chenyan both called her family so naturally that Cloe couldn't even bring herself to doubt it. "Yeah. I need to show him who my backing is so that he remembers not to mess with me."     

"So, how was it?"     

Cloe thought about it for a moment before asking, "What do you think?"     

"Are we playing a game here?" asked Raelle. "Anyway, I think Cui Xuqing must have liked you a lot."     

"Why are you so certain?"     

"Because I don't allow people to question my people," replied Raelle.     

"Tsk. Is that a compliment to me or yourself? How can you take every chance to compliment yourself?"     

"Maybe because I deserve it," said Raelle. "On a serious note, it's because Cui Xuqing is an independent woman and she is very clear about what she wants. She practically raised her brother so, of course, she'd have a lot of opinions about her future sister-in-law. It's a good thing that you're kind of like him. At least, you're professionally a strong woman and she would be happy to see that."     

"Chief, you seem to know her very well."     

"It's not that I know her well," said Raelle. "It's Soren whom I know well and he loves to talk about his wife as well. So, from my understanding, Cui Xuqing isn't a difficult person to get along with. As long as you're sincere to her brother, she'd not interfere."         

    

"Wow! Chief, you're amazing! She said the same thing!" Cloe was getting goosebumps when she heard that. When she met Cui Xukun's sister, she thought a lot but the scenario was different. Cui Xuqing indeed was a very easygoing person and liked her for being good at work. Most of all, she did tell Cloe that what mattered to her most was her brother's feelings. Nothing else mattered. "She is actually a very nice person. No wonder she raised such adorable kids. And no wonder, Soren went crazy for her back then and is still the same."     

"It's good if it went well," said Raelle and took a moment before she asked, "Cloe, look at Amiah and tell me what you see."     

Cloe looked over at Amiah and frowned seeing her staring so intently at Hyson who was laughing brightly as always. It reminded her of the time when they ate together at this hospital. She did notice Amiah's unusual attention on Hyson but now, it was blatant.      

"Chief, I was gonna tell you about this but it skipped my mind," started Cloe. "When she came to the hospital to see you, I already noticed that she seemed to have some interest in Fai. But I also thought I was thinking too much. Now, it seems like I wasn't thinking too much. She likes Fai."     

Cloe looked at Raelle who looked as usual and Cloe knew that her words were unnecessary. Raelle already noticed all that she mentioned just now.      

"No, I'm asking you, what do you think about her?"     

Cloe coughed and looked everywhere but at Raelle, trying to escape this situation. No matter what, Amiah was Raelle's sister-in-law, and seeing how she was sitting with Shui Koshing, it was certain that her father brought her here. Was it okay for her to say anything negative about Amiah? Because let's be honest, Cloe's opinion wasn't that high regarding Amiah. And she wasn't like Raelle who could put emotions aside to look at and judge a person.     

Cloe was a normal person who would let her emotions get to her.     

And that's why she thought Amiah was too brash. No matter what the reason, her attitude didn't sit well with Cloe.     

"If you're not willing to answer that then let me change the question," Raelle spoke up again. She already realized Cloe didn't want to speak out her real thoughts right now. "What do you think about Amiah as a partner for Hyson?"     

Cloe almost choked on the air and looked horrified!     

"Chief, it's not even funny!" said Cloe. "They have nothing in common. Nothing at all. Fai might be a patient enough person to deal with her but..."     

"But he isn't right for her," added Raelle. "I know my best friend best. He might be able to shine bright like the sun and provide others with warmth and light but the same sun is capable of burning others. Amiah won't be able to take the burnt." She took a pause and added, "You help me contact Hyson's manager and ask her how long will it take to finish this project and when is he joining the next production."
