Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 521 – Blasphemy

"Can't we use those camera angles?" asked Hyson.

He Rou chuckled at him, "It won't look that good. Do you think we can still fool the audience with that? Moviegoers have become smarter."

"Then how about using a double?" Hyson asked again. "I heard stars use doubles for such scenes."

"Oh, you're knowledgable," she commented. "But I don't think our director will agree. Why don't you bring it up to her?"

Hyson leaned back in his chair and just gave up altogether. 

"Are you scared of her?" asked He Rou in amusement.

"Me? Scared of her?" asked Hyson as he pointed at his nose. He snorted, "Anyone can be scared of Amiah Jade, but that anyone can never be me! There is only one scary person in my life and I'm not even scared of her." He took a deep breath and added, "It's just that I want to finish my scenes in peace. Don't even wanna get involved with her more than necessary."

"Such hostility?"

"Hostility? I have nothing against her though," said Hyson calmly. "The only reason I don't wanna deal with her is that I can't deal with people like her. Her personality just doesn't vibe with mine. And the people who don't vibe with me, I find them tiring. And I am lazy. I don't like tiring things."

If Shui Xian had been around at this moment, he'd have loved to hold a conversation with Hyson on this topic and ask him, just what about Raelle was not tiring to him? How come a lazy person like him actually managed to squeeze his way into Raelle's life and that too in the deepest part of her circle. 

But then again as Hyson said, it all depended on whether he vibed with someone or not. And clearly, he ended up finding an instant vibe with Raelle that pushed him to forget being lazy and chase after her. Because somehow he knew he had to rush into her life like a storm or else, she'd be able to push him away as she did with everyone else around her.

"Or maybe we can just remove this scene altogether," said Hyson as if he opened a new door for himself. "I should talk to Miss Sora. She is a lot easier to talk to. Since this scene wasn't in the initial script, there is no need to add trouble."

"The way you're trying avoid just a kiss scene is suspicious," remarked He Rou. "Don't tell me…" She leaned closer to his face while he leaned back. "Is this your first kiss?"

Hyson pushed her away, "What? What first kiss? It isn't!"

He Rou gasped, "Oh my! It really is." She just couldn't believe it. This was completely different from her expectations. Don't look at his cute and innocent looks. He did look like a playboy when he smirked. She could bet that girls would swoon whenever he showed that smirk of his. But this guy was actually really as innocent as he looked. How old was he exactly? 

For a whole minute, she wasn't able to process this fact.

Hyson cleared his throat and avoided her eyes. Okay, he accept that it was his first kiss and that was also a reason for him to avoid it. He didn't want to have his first kiss on screen! No, he didn't want to have a kiss at all!

"You really haven't kissed before?" asked He Rou incredulously. "Not even your best friend?"

"What?!" Hyson almost screamed. "Who kisses their best friend?"

"Everyone does," said He Rou. "I know I kissed my best friend back in school. And she was a girl." While Hyson was gaping at her in disbelief, she went on, "But seriously, everyone kisses their best friend to practice at least."

"Do you even know who my best friend is?" 

He Rou suddenly recalled seeing Raelle at the hospital and she stiffened.

Hyson snorted and held his head as he muttered, "What kind of an image did you put in my head? Kissing my best friend? I still want to live! No, I should say, that was horrible!" 

He Rou pouted, "But it's pretty normal."

Hyson shuddered, "I have to cleanse my head and my ears. You've polluted me with corrupted thoughts!"

He Rou laughed, "So dramatic!"

Hyson gave her a glare as he took out his phone to distract himself. He didn't want to listen to this nonsense! Were you even considered friends if you kissed each other? Besides, Raelle was more like his sister. Someone he respected just as much as he respected his mother! He couldn't even have any other thoughts for her. NEVER!

Having even thought of this was blasphemy!

He took another sip of his bitter coffee, opened the social media app, and saw the trending topics, he spurted out the coffee!

"What happened?" asked He Rou. "Are you okay?" She passed him a tissue to wipe his mouth. 

"Thank you," said Hyson. And then he carefully reads all the headlines.

The headline was quite a sight. 

[President Raelle and Master Xian declared their love on the red carpet!]

[Master Xian possessive for his leading lady]

[Exposé! President Raelle and Master Xian are dating!]

By this time even He Rou had opened her phone and seen these headlines. She was quite surprised to see it. "Your best friend is married, no?"

"She is," answered Hyson.

"Shui Xian is her husband?" she asked tentatively.

"He is," was Hyson's response as his lips curled up in response.

This was an interesting sight. Although he had already heard from Raelle about what happened last night, he didn't expect that she'd allow these headlines to appear. Or maybe, it wasn't that surprising. Knowing his best friend, how could she miss the chance to announce to the world that her husband was off-limits?

This was clearly a declaration that Shui Xian belonged to Raelle Xiang and whoever had their eyes on him should think twice before getting restless.
