Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 687 Time-Out

Xiang Hulin could only agree with his son’s words. It indeed seemed like his father was getting younger around the boy who was talking non-stop. 

As for the boy who was talking non-stop aka Hyson, he still had a smile playing at the corner of his lips while he bickered with Zhai Yanjun like there was no tomorrow. Let’s accept it, he still thinks this brother of his is a fool. Yes, a fool!

Hyson doesn’t even take Zhai Yanjun all that seriously. So what if he had all the attention from his mother? Did it really matter that much to Hyson? Not really! He’d be sadder if the person whom Zhai Yanjun snatched was Raelle. Or even Yanyan and Opa.

But he had his own reasons for talking so much nonsense and entertaining everywhere. It’s not like he couldn’t feel the gloomy aura around everyone here. He had to do something to disperse it. Or else, how will he face Raelle?

*Ring!*

Hyson lifted his hand to stop Zhai Yanjun from speaking. As he pulled out his phone and looked at the caller id, he said, “Time-out! I have to take this call.”

”Who takes a time-out in arguments?”

”I do,” Hyson stuck his tongue out at Zhai Yanjun as he walked to the side and picked up the call. “Sister Xin, didn’t we just talk like an hour ago?”

”A lot has changed in one hour,” came the response from the other side.

”What’s wrong?”

”Why don’t you check the trending topics of the day?” suggested Li Xinxin. 

Hyson frowned but still said, “Okay, hold on a minute.” He put the phone call on hold and browsed through the trending topics. And surprisingly, he found his name there.

How did he get there when he didn’t even do anything?

So, what happened was that last night when he took the flight someone took his photo and posted it online questioning, “Am I tripping, or is that really our little brother Hyson?” The post was originally not that popular but in the morning, it picked up the heat. Some people said he just looked similar to Hyson and some claimed, it was him.

Until now, there was still an argument going on whether that was Hyson or not. And the reason was simple, it was the first time for fans to see Hyson in such a state. It’s not like they hadn’t seen him in a disheveled state or in casual clothes. It was his expressions. He looked so serious and the bright light in his eyes was missing. He looked kinda scary in that picture.

Hyson felt a headache coming. Did he look scary? To him, he thought he looked like he was scared and his whole world was ending. How come fans thought he looked scary and yet handsome? Was something wrong with their eyes? 

”Let’s not respond to it,” said Hyson to his manager. “If we don’t respond, it means it’s just someone who looks like me.”

”Are you sure about that?”

”Or else? Do you want me to come out and clear this up? I don’t think it’s necessary. I’m getting free publicity, there is no need for me to confirm or deny anything.”

”That’s what I thought,” said Li Xinxin.

”Then why did you call me?”

”To remind you to please cover up your face when you’re out,” answered Li Xinxin. 

”Alright,” agreed Hyson. He also knew he made a blunder last night. But he had nothing on his mind at that time except for getting back home.

On the other side, Zhai Yanjun held Yue Yue’s hands and told her, “You should go home now. I’ll come to see you when I have time.”

Yue Yue typed on her phone, ‘Should I send some food for you here?’

Zhai Yanjun wanted to reject but agreed, “Okay.”

Yue Yue was instantly happy to hear that and caressed his face before she looked where Hyson was standing.

”What’s wrong with him?” asked Zhai Yanjun.

”It might be about this,” said Xiang Wai as she showed him the phone. “He was photographed last night at the airport.”

Zhai Yanjun first looked at the phone screen and then at her. Xiang Wai looked back at him and didn’t react. What was he looking at? 

”What? He is famous,” said Xiang Wai. “I didn’t even have to search to find him. He is like a superstar.”

”He doesn’t think so,” said Xiang Weimin. “He doesn’t even act like one.”

”Yeah. He acts more like a cartoon,” commented Xiang Wai.

”What did you say?” Zhai Yanjun stared at her in disbelief. “How can you call my brother, a cartoon?”

Xiang Wai stared back at him. She didn’t think he’d react in this manner. And what did he just say? His brother? When did Zhai Yanjun get a brother? How come she didn’t know about that?

”No one is allowed to call my little prince a cartoon,” came Grandfather Xiang’s voice. 

”Sorry, Grandpa,” said Xiang Wai. She shouldn’t have gotten jealous of Hyson and call him a cartoon even if he acts like one. “I won’t say it again.”

Xiang Weimin rubbed her head, “He is more like an adorable teddy bear. So, you don’t have to call him a cartoon.”

”Even you?” Xiang Wai mouthed at her brother who shrugged. He was just being honest right now. Xiang Wai again looked at Hyson with her eyes narrowed. Oh, this boy was really making her want to do something she’ll definitely regret. Damnit! Why was she so affected by this cheery ball of sunshine?

Wait! Was it really because he was a cheery ball of sunshine? And her darkness was not able to handle this bright boy? She thought this was very possible. 

Shaking her head, she reminded herself to not be affected by Hyson. She had to keep her calm and not let her inner darkness make her do anything impulsive. She had to be the smart one here and not harbor any evil in her heart.
