Chapter 942: Keeping Distance
Cloe was momentarily lost, not knowing how to react. She was a highly competent assistant, otherwise, she wouldn’t be favored by Raelle for so long. But now, all of a sudden, she was acting dumb. It really took her a while to process Raelle’s words.
You see, Raelle was someone who minded her business. She usually didn’t care about others. Even if it was Hyson, she didn’t actively try to probe into his work. But now, she was asking her to inquire about his work schedule. What prompted this change? Wasn’t it obvious?
Cloe peered at Amiah with an inexplicable gaze as she asked, “Chief, what are you trying to do?”
“Isn’t it obvious?” asked Raelle in return. “I’m trying to find a way out for my best friend.”
Cloe narrowed her eyes suspiciously, “Who are you protecting by doing this? Clearly, Fai doesn’t need that protection even if he acts like that.” She touched her lips as she went on, “But then again, you can’t possibly be trying to protect Miss Amiah either, right? That’s so not like you. You don’t even like her.”
“Whether I like her or not,” started Raelle placidly. “She is still my husband’s sister and Bà’s only daughter. It’s better to pull Hyson out of the equation before it gets too late.” Raelle closed her eyes with her face supported by her hand as she went on, “Let’s be real. Amiah had already been hurt before, it won’t be good if the same happened again. The first time, Hyson will be polite but Amiah seems like a persistent person and that’ll only end up in a disaster.” After all, Hyson wasn’t all that adorable as he portrayed himself to be. His words could be sharper than Raelle’s.
“Fine,” said Cloe. “I’ll contact his manager and ask about it. But I don’t think putting distance between them will help. Yes, if Fai gets a girlfriend then it’d a different story.”
Raelle gave her a look, “Hyson and a girlfriend? Let’s not talk about it.”
“Chief, the world is a mysterious place, fate has its way to work,” said Cloe. “For the time I knew you, I also couldn’t imagine seeing you in a relationship. One that was filled with love. But what happened? Aren’t you currently happily married and a have sweet relationship with your husband? So, you should believe that Fai can also find someone equally dazzling to match his energy.”
“I didn’t say that he can’t,” said Raelle. “But it’ll be a long and difficult road. Because beauty doesn’t attract him. The person who could catch his attention needs to be more dazzling than him.”
While they were discussing Hyson, Hyson was busy teasing his brothers.
“Yi Ge, I watched your gaming broadcast,” said Hyson. “You’re so cool! You’ve all my heart.”
Feng Yiwen licked his canines and ran a hand through his silver hair as he said, “I’m so flattered. Our Fai has the heart of all the girls while his heart is with me. What should I do?”
“Fai, you’re leaving tomorrow?” asked Lin Zhen.
“Yes,” answered Hyson as his face fell again but suddenly lit up again. “I had an audition today and if I get selected, Sister Xin said that we’ll have to discuss the filming schedule again and make some adjustments so I can join the next production crew as soon as possible.”
“You look very pleased with this information,” commented Lin Zhen. “Why? Don’t like working on this production?”
“If you say it like that Zi Hong Ge will get upset,” snickered Hyson making Pei Zi Hong roll his eyes at him. “But it’s nothing like that. I just didn’t have a good start with this crew. Maybe that’s why I get so down whenever I think about going back to it.” In truth, he was very eager to finish his work. More than ever now.
He was after all Raelle’s certified best friend and his eyesight was as always very good. How could he not perceive what was happening around him? He might have been oblivious when he ran into Amiah last time since she was emotional so he didn’t take it seriously. But this time, he was very clear about what emotions her eyes had.
He was also aware that she had been looking at him since she came here and that was making him very uneasy. Don’t ask. He was truly not interested in her. He was being very nice by trying to ignore because Amiah was still Shui Xian’s sister and he didn’t want to go overboard. But that passionate gaze of Amiah was scalding him.
If it really went on, he might really end up doing something.
Something that didn’t go well with the persona he had.
So, the only solution he had was to pray that he got selected today. Even if he didn’t, he’d just ask Li Xinxin to find his new projects and just reduce the number of days he had to spend on Amiah’s set. The sooner he kept his distance, the better.
Unknowingly, his thoughts were on the same route as his best friend. But even if he knew, he wouldn’t be surprised. They were soulmates for a reason. They had to have some telepathic connection, no?
“Then…” before Lin Zhen could continue the others finished his words for him…
“Take care of yourself,” said Pei Zi Hong.
“Wear more clothes if the weather is changing. It rains a lot over there,” said Huang Shuyi.
“Make sure to eat well,” said Feng Yiwen.
Lin Zhen was left pursing his lips as he stared at all of them as they heartlessly laughed together and even Hyson joined them.
“Laugh. Laugh all you want!” Lin Zhen didn’t know what else to say to them.
“Zhen Ge, you’re so adorable. You always say the same things to all of us,” said Hyson. “You can’t blame us for remembering all of your advice by now.”
“I’d be more than happy if any of you actually followed even half of my advice,” was Lin Zhen’s response. He was so fed up with these kids who didn’t know how to even take care of themselves when he wasn’t around. “You all are grown-ups now. We all have to work separately more often from now. Can you be more responsible from now? I won’t be around to make sure everything is okay.”
“Zhen Ge, you sound like you’re abandoning your kids,” commented Feng Yiwen.
“I wish I could disown you all!”
Everyone burst out laughing at his words.
