Chapter 906: [Bonus chapter] Enjoying
With Hyson’s one call, Lin Zhen abandoned the person he was talking to and walked away. He walked up to Hyson with a gentle smile filled with doting.
“Fai, are you done with work?” asked Lin Zhen.
Hyson nodded his head like an obedient kid, “Yup. I was about to go home. Was just looking for a ride.”
“Then how about I give you the ride?” suggested Lin Zhen. “I’m about to leave as well. I just have to collect my stuff from the recording studio.”
“Oh, I can wait,” said Hyson. “I’m more than happy to get the free ride.”
Lin Zhen lifted his hand and rubbed his head, “I can tell how happy you are.”
Perhaps, anyone else didn’t notice but Hyson did. The moment Lin Zhen smiled at him, he began to feel a scorching gaze directed toward him. But the moment Lin Zhen rubbed his head affectionately, that gaze was ready to tear him apart. He found it so amusing that he was grinning from ear to ear.
Lin Zhen thought something evil was cooking in his brain but he didn’t mind. He went to the recording studio and Hyson followed him. “Zhen Ge, are you working on an album?”
Lin Zhen nodded his head, “Yes. But it’s not mine. The company is preparing to debut a new female singer. She is very talented. I’m working with her these days.”
Hyson understood. He didn’t think it was a shame for Lin Zhen to work behind the scenes since all of them knew that Lin Zhen’s passion was in producing rather than singing. It was good that he was finally receiving the opportunity to show his talented side.
He helped collect music sheets and passed it to Lin Zhen who zipped up his bag and looked ready to leave. They went out together and found Lin Zhen’s car. Unlike Hyson who didn’t like driving, Lin Zhen always drove around himself. Well, little prince Hyson wasn’t a fan of driving.
As they fastened their seatbelts, Hyson said, “Zhen Ge, you owe me a thanks.”
Lin Zhen’s hands paused when he heard that and he laughed to himself as he nodded, “Of course, how can anything escape you eye.” It’s not like he didn’t understand Hyson. He understood that Hyson purposely called out to him at that time. If nothing else, this little prince definitely noticed Lin Zhen’s emotions and helped him out of the pickle so naturally.
But then again, that was something only Hyson would do. He shouldn’t even be surprised by that.
“After doing this, you still ask me why I say you’re scary?”
“I’m definitely cuter,” was Hyson’s response.
“Okay, so Mr. Cute, how should I thank you?”
“How about baking me some cookies?” suggested Hyson.
“How old are you?”
“Why do all have to question my age? I only asked for cookies. No need to get so personal!”
“Okay, I’ll get you those cookies,” said Lin Zhen. “But… Won’t you ask what was going on when you came?”
Hyson shrugged nonchalantly, “If you feel like sharing, I’m all ears. But if you feel uncomfortable, I’ll pretend like I didn’t even see anything.”
During the ride, they didn’t talk much. Lin Zhen dropped him off at his home before he drove away. Hyson watched him leave before he went inside.
Right when he stepped inside, he found Mu Chenyan begging for forgiveness. He raised his brow and rushed inside.
Inside, Yue Yue was sitting with Grandfather Xiang while Mu Chenyan had to stand before them and accept her mistakes. But to be honest, she didn’t even know what she did wrong.
“How dare you yell at Yue?” asked Grandfather Xiang unhappily while Yue Yue nodded along with him with an indignant expression.
“I didn’t yell at her. I might have raised my voice without knowing it,” said Mu Chenyan in her defense.
“What’s going on here?”
Mu Chenyan looked at Hyson and said, “Wlecome back, my little Fai.”
“Opa, what’s up? What did Yanyan do now?” He then looked at his own mother, “Mum, don’t tell me you’re complaining to Opa right now?”
Yue Yue avoided her son’s eyes and pretended not to hear whatever he was saying. Hyson found it amusing.
“How can it be called complaining?” Grandfather Xiang looked at Mu Chenyan. “You said you’ll protect Yue. Is this the way to do things? Why did you make her cry?”
“Her silence was getting on my nerve!” said Mu Chenyan. “So, I did raise my voice. I didn’t think she’ll cry. She didn’t even cry when she met…” She zipped her mouth right at that moment and looked at Hyson and decided not to continue. She didn’t want to share the experience of seeing Yue Yue’s birth parents.
Because Yue Yue didn’t say anything to them, Mu Chenyan’s mood was in turmoil. So, she ended up kinda yelling at Yue Yue for acting weak. How would she know that the Yue Yue who didn’t even cry when her mother pointed at her would end up shedding tears so beautifully?
Clearly, she was underestimating the value she had in Yue Yue’s heart. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so confused right now.
Yue Yue didn’t mind what others said. She had long grown out of that phase with the help of Mu Chenyan. But because it was Mu Chenyan who was her pillar of support and courage, it hurt more when she raised her voice at her.
So, seeing her reddened eyes when Grandfather Xiang questioned her, this scene happened. Yue Yue definitely wouldn’t say it out loud that currently, she was feeling really happy. Not because Mu Chenyan was getting a lecture but because of this beautiful family that she could call hers. Having Grandfather Xiang stand up for her was something very special. It meant she was protected.
“Mum, you’re enjoying it way too much,” Hyson pointed it out without hiding anything.
Mu Chenyan also looked at Yue Yue and smiled to herself. How could she not see what even Hyson could see? She found it so amusing how her best friend was acting like a little kid who was indulging in the protection of her family.
Hyson shook his head, “I say, Mum, the person Yanyan had been spoiling isn’t me. It’s you! You’re the one she spoiled the most.”
No one could argue with that. Not even Yue Yue so she lowered her head.
Mu Chenyan chuckled, “Fai, go and freshen up. We’ll have dinner together.”
“Tsk. You’re being too obvious!” commented Hyson before he decided to let these elders be. They were playing their own game which had nothing to do with him. He’d rather go to his room and freshen up.
When he went away, Grandfather Xiang asked, “Chenyan, don’t you have something to say to Ah-Yue?”
Mu Chenyan went over and crouched down before Yue Yue saying, “Yue, sorry! It’s my fault for raising my voice. I should consider how your heart is fragile. I’m sorry. I won’t do it again.”
Grandfather Xiang flicked her forehead, “Don’t just say it. As the younger sister, you should respect your older sister.”
“I’m the older one here!” insisted Mu Chenyan.
“Only the kids would fall for that,” said Grandfather Xiang.
Yue Yue chuckled to herself silently and her eyes which were reddened from crying were sparkling now. Both Mu Chenyan and Grandfather Xiang breathed a sigh of relief seeing that.
