Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 490 – Absolute Fact

Whether it was Fang Yiwen, Huang Shuyi, or even Pei Zi Hong, all of them had been slightly overwhelmed since the moment they saw Raelle. It was difficult to keep their calm in her presence. Even Shui Xian's presence didn't have such an effect on them. 

However, with Cloe's arrival, things took a different turn. Cloe was exactly like a fangirl who was too excited to see her idols right before her eyes. This idiot even tried poking them to check whether they were real or not. And they found her actions to be quite amusing.

Even a blind could tell that Cloe was a successful career woman. For such a person to turn out to be a fangirl was quite a surprise to all of them. And let's not forget how chatty Cloe became once she confirmed her idols were right with her. The things didn't end with just photos. She definitely had to take their autographs as well. And then she had to play quiz trivia with them. All in all, she was living the life of a successful fan!

Hyson chose to stay away from this excited fangirl and settled down with his best friend. "She looks like she is on a sugar rush." Hyson shook his head, "Where is she getting all this energy from?"

"When my eyes were laid upon your face, I felt my spirit refreshing. Like the morning dew fell on a flower to make it sparkle with a new passion, your sight gave me the reason to be alive."

Hyson leaned backward to keep his distance from Raelle as he wondered out loud, "What possessed your body?"

Raelle faced him and answered, "Nothing. I'm just enlightening you regarding where is she getting all that energy from." She looked in Cloe's direction and went on, "See her? Her excitement is coming from your group mates. It's obvious. Don't ask such useless questions."

Hyson rubbed his arms to soothe the chills rising on his body as he said, "Please, refrain from using literature. You're a science person. Stay that way. Literature isn't your field to play."

"If you say so," replied Raelle.

Hyson waited for a moment before he opened his mouth to tell her, "I went out yesterday."

"I know," said Raelle. "Yanyan told me that you went out to meet someone."

Hyson wasn't surprised by that. He also heard that Raelle came over last night. And since she didn't see him, someone must have told her that he went out. "Do you know who I met?"

"Lieutenant Colonel Xiang Weimin," responded Raelle calmly.

Hyson stared at her in shock, "How do you know? Are you spying on me now? Did Cloe tell you? No, that can't be. She didn't know whom I met there." He was really confused about how she knew it.

Raelle placed her hand on the back of his head and pushed it down, making him look down at her other hand in which she actually held his phone right now. Seeing that, realization dawned on Hyson and he chuckled awkwardly.

"Right. You must have seen the call log," said Hyson and slapped his own head. "I'm really a fool."

"That you are," agreed Raelle without any hesitation. 

He didn't find it strange that his phone was in her hand. After all, he was actually holding her phone right now as well. Mobile phones might be way too personal to people but these two best friends hardly had anything considered personal between them. Raelle had taken his phone because he wanted her to read one of his emails. However, when she unlocked the phone, the call log was already open. It wasn't her fault that her eyes caught the names on the list along with the time and date.

It was definitely not intentional, not like she had to spy on him. He hardly had anything in his life worthy of spying on.

Hyson closed the call log and opened the email for her, "You read this. Pay less attention to other things."

Raelle didn't respond and just lowered her eyes to concentrate on the email. But that didn't mean Hyson stopped talking as he went on, "Well, I did meet Lieutenant."

"Why are you telling me that?" questioned Raelle, not moving her eyes away from the screen.

"Because I don't have a habit of hiding things from you," responded Hyson. "Besides, it had all to do with you."

"Me? Didn't he call you out because he is interested in you?"

Hyson almost choked on air as he glared at her, "Shut the fuck up!"

"Okay," said Raelle.

Hyson rubbed his forehead, "Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned this to you."

"Whether you mention it or not," started Raelle. "It's not like you don't know where I stand. Don't get involved in this. My life has only so much space."

Hyson snorted, "As if I don't know that. And I did let him know that as well."

Raelle looked at Hyson as she passed his phone back to him and said, "Maybe you should stop talking about me. Isn't it troublesome? What I am, you know better than anyone. But it took you years to figure me out. Why are you giving away your effort of years so easily? Don't you like feeling special? Isn't it special enough that only you know me?"

Hyson sighed out softly, "At the end of the day, I can't forget that he is your elder brother."

"I don't think you go out to see him because he is my elder brother," stated Raelle. "Also, trust me, it's not that difficult to forget that he is my elder brother. Especially once you consider the fact that we have had nothing to do with each other until now. That's an absolute fact, you can't deny."

Hyson suddenly felt like he did something wrong. Was he not supposed to give advice? Why was he so eager to help others? Such a waste of effort and time. 

"I just felt bad for him," argued Hyson.

"I have never seen you feeling bad for me," said Raelle.

Hyson frowned at her, "You? You don't need that. And you might even chop me into pieces if I so much as had such feeling."

"I couldn't possibly agree more with that statement."

Hyson was left staring at her.. See? She had no problem in chopping him into pieces! What a ridiculously brilliant best friend.
