Chapter 656 Million Pieces
Since there were people everywhere in the hall, Raelle and Tang Hebe came out to the garden, looking for a silent and peaceful place to talk. Well, it was Tang Hebe who was going to do the talking, Raelle was mostly just here to listen.
Don't ask her why she was interested in listening to what Tang Hebe had to say!
"Sorry for calling you out like this," said Tang Hebe feeling a little embarrassed at the moment. She had thought of looking for Raelle on impulse after having the last face-to-face with Ruan Meilin. She couldn't wait to tear apart that delusional woman who threatened the life of her son!
She could take any kind of nonsense Ruan Meilin had. And she was even willing to bear it all in silence as well. But clearly, this Ruan Meilin was still taking her mild temper to be her weakness!
These days, her only weakness was her son! But even if her son was her weakness, she was a mother. And mothers could never be weak! They were always a force to be reckoned with when it came to the safety of their child.
Seeing how Tang Hebe was having difficulty forming her words, Raelle spoke up, "Don't tell me you're here to say, 'I am back now. You just wait for me to snatch Xian back from you. Ha! Ha! Ha!'"
Tang Hebe's lips twitched before she burst out laughing when she heard Raelle speak like that. Especially that last 'Ha! Ha! Ha!' was too good! It was to the point that tears had brimmed into her eyes from laughing so much. But there wasn't a change on Raelle's face. Not even a single frown could be seen on her face.
Even though Tang Hebe laughed for so long that her body was shaking, Raelle was still patiently waiting for her to calm herself. And it was only when Tang Hebe looked at Raelle while wiping her tears she realized that Raelle already knew she didn't plan on taking Shui Xian from her. And neither was she here to make any claims on him. And yet she said those words just to lighten up her tightened nerves.

And yes, her expressions weren't hidden from Raelle. She might have become good at hiding her emotions, Raelle was even better at reading the things you'd try to hide. That's why the moment Tang Hebe had called her out to talk, Raelle already figured out that Tang Hebe was scared and anxious. As for why? That she didn't know at all.
"Here I was told President Raelle only knows how to make people feel nervous," said Tang Hebe. "But it seems President Raelle also knows how to make someone feel calm."
"I have talents that even I have yet to unearth," replied Raelle. "There is no surprise there."
Tang Hebe smiled at her, "Indeed, you're a whole treasure."
"Thank you for the compliment," said Raelle. "I'm not just a treasure. I'm the rarest of the treasures." Tang Hebe had nothing to argue about that. Meanwhile, Raelle added, "Anyway, you should just call me Raelle. Neither are you my business partner nor are you, my employee. It doesn't feel right to keep calling me President Raelle when I'm younger than you."
"Are you trying to make it clear to me that since you're young, Xian has forgotten all about the old me?" Tang Hebe couldn't help teasing playfully.
"Yes, he has," was Raelle's honest and blunt answer which make Tang Hebe's lips twitch once again.
Oh my! How come she didn't know the infamous President Raelle had such a cute side?
"Ouch!" Tang Hebe placed her hand on her chest as she feigned to be in pain. "Your honesty just broke my heart into million pieces."
Raelle looked down at the grass carefully. Then she even turned on the flashlight of her phone to look with scrutiny.
"What are you doing?" asked Tang Hebe.
"Looking for those million pieces of your heart," deadpanned Raelle. "Didn't they fall down here?"
Tang Hebe placed her hand over her mouth and burst out laughing again.
"Okay, you really need to stop," said Tang Hebe. "I can't laugh anymore. My stomach is hurting too much." She was panting already trying to catch her breath. That's how much she laughed because of Raelle.
It was actually interesting sightseeing how one elegant lady was laughing so hard while the other beauty just stood there under the moonlight acting like the perfect painting. A real work of art that was even hard to describe in words.
"But I didn't lie earlier," said Raelle. "Isn't it human nature to forget the old and love the young? The freshness of the newness brings a new adventure to their life." She looked at Tang Hebe as she added, "You aren't that different either. Didn't you forget the old husband named Shui Xian and fell deeply for the young boy who is actually your son?"
Tang Hebe's eyes widened as she looked at Raelle in surprise.

"Heard about him from Shui Xian," said Raelle. She didn't lie at all. She indeed only knew about Tang Hebe's son from Shui Xian. Not like she had the interest to go into deeper details.
"And you aren't worried that my son would become a strain in your marriage?" asked Tang Hebe trying to figure out this strong and confident woman who stood before her. Really, she couldn't even match the aura of someone like Raelle who was always brimming with self-confidence.
"Why would he?" asked Raelle in return. "He has nothing to do with us."
"So, you think he isn't Shui Xian's son?" Tang Hebe raised her brows at Raelle inquisitively. Anticipating to hear Raelle's answer.
"He isn't," answered Raelle.
"And why do you think so?"
"Because my Xian said so," replied Raelle straightforwardly.
Tang Hebe almost choked on air when she heard that reply. What did she mean that just because Shui Xian said it, she believed it? Was she that gullible or she have that much trust in Shui Xian?
If it was the latter, then she certainly wasn't a match of her.
