Master's Untamed Wife

"Forget it, the cake is here," announced He Rou and took the cake from the server. She brought it to Sora and everyone gathered around her.

Hyson was lazily standing there when He Rou gave him a look, "Aren't you gonna sing Happy Birthday?"

"Didn't you tell me not to be so old-school?" he questioned innocently.

"Well, now I changed my mind," she retorted. "Considering we are all older than you here, it's okay for you to be old-school."

Hyson didn't know what to say to that logic but he didn't question and chose to just sing the happy birthday song everyone in the world was familiar with. Surrounded by the sound of his voice, the slow clapping and cheering around her, Sora blew the candle while someone popped the confetti popper. 

"Sorry, I don't have a gift," said Hyson to Sora. "Because my sister-in-law didn't tell me that we are here for your birthday." He took the mic once again and said, "So, I'll sing a song for you." Before anyone could say anything he selected another song and decided to be serious this time.

This time he chose a relatively slow song and made everyone sway with his voice. With a round of applause, he smiled at them and got down from the stage.

"I'll give you a gift some other day," said Hyson to Sora.

"How can you do that? Today is the special day," said He Rou.

"Who said you need special days for gifts?" asked Hyson. "My best friend says you can give a gift whenever you want. Won't your gift already make the day a special one?"

He Rou had nothing to retort. "Boy, I can't keep up with you."

"I know," chuckled Hyson. "Not everyone can."

"There is no need for the gift," Sora spoke up. 

"Well, birthday girl doesn't get to choose that," said Hyson casually. He served himself a piece of the cake without any care and dug into it.

"Pay attention to your weight," instructed Li Xinxin.

The spoonful of cake that had yet to enter his mouth stopped and Hyson's smile disappeared. He looked at his manager, "Sister Xin, you should care about my feelings. Let me give share a secret with you, I hate people who stop me from eating. I have good feelings towards you, don't ruin it."

"I'm just saying that for your own good," she said.

Hyson ate the cake and hummed, "I know. And I'll definitely think of a way to burn these calories. But that can't stop me from eating calories. Not happening."

Li Xinxin didn't continue and let him be. 

"Let's play a game," suggested Amiah. "Anyone up for the dice game?"

"Let's all play," agreed He Rou. 

Hyson couldn't escape from it either and sat down with them. They all rolled the dice and in the end, the one with the lowest number had to answer a question asked by the one with the highest number. 

In the first round, the one with the highest number was Hyson. Proving his ridiculously good luck. The others had to take a shot and the one with the lowest number was He Rou who had to wait for him to ask a question as well.

"Sister-in-law," Hyson gave her an evil grin and He Rou had a bad feeling about it. "Why did you join the entertainment industry?" He shook his head, "No, scratch that. I don't want to hear you say you actually like acting." He Rou was staring intently at him as he asked, "You joined the industry to chase your first love? Yes or no?"

He Rou's eyes widened while everyone around them stared at He Rou curiously. Even her manager couldn't help looking at He Rou waiting for an answer.

He Rou stared into Hyson's eyes and felt like she didn't even have to answer it. This kid already knew it. It was useless to lie to him. He seemed to see all that was unseen. It was just as her boyfriend had warned her. Pei Zi Hong told her to keep her guard up against Hyson and he always warned her that Hyson had a way to lower people's guard and then he'd be able to see through your soul.

He Rou cursed under her breath. She really had let her guard down seeing those innocent and pure eyes of his. What a deception! She took a deep breath and answered, "Yes."

Hyson smiled knowingly and said, "Let's play again."

It was like only Hyson knew the details about that first love of He Rou while the others were suddenly itching with curiosity but none could just blatantly ask any question. They rolled the dice once again. As luck would have it, Hyson was again the one with the highest number.

And he wasn't even surprised. He was used to his unusual good luck. It was unexplainable but he knew it was there. 

The one who became his victim this time was Sora. She was suddenly nervous as she looked at Hyson. He smiled gently at her and asked, "How old were you when your first kiss?"

Sora's face stiffened and Hyson frowned, "Isn't it a relatively easy question?"

Sora sighed in the end and answered, "Fourteen. I was fourteen at that time." She didn't add anything to that and avoided everyone's eyes. She didn't want to continue this conversation.

Luckily, no one made it difficult for her either and they started the game again. Even after fifteen rounds, Hyson was still on the winning streak that made the girls look at him with hostility. He raised his hands. "I'm sorry but I have always been lucky. My best friend says I have dumb luck. It just works out for me even when it seems like it won't."

"Next time, if you're the one with the highest number, the one with the lowest number will ask you a question!" said He Rou as she changed the rule of the game. 

"Okay," Hyson had no problem with this arrangement.

And with this new arrangement in mind, they rolled the dice once again.
