Chapter 946 More Time With You
When Mu Chenyan said there are a lot of people here tonight, Gou Jinjin didn't think much about it but once she saw the people in the living room, only then she understood. There were definitely a lot of people here. Well, she should be used to it considering she had a big family but she wasn't.
But soon, she actually became comfortable there. When her big family gathered, considering everyone was a doctor or in the field of medicine somehow, they only talked about that making it seem like a boring lecture. Here on the other hand things were different. Everyone came from different backgrounds and had different personalities.
It seemed more lively.
"How's your cat?"
Hearing that question from Raelle, Gou Jinjin's face dropped, "Raelle, let's not talk about it. It hurts." The person she was most familiar with here was Raelle apart from her aunt. But of course, she had met Xiang Wai and Xiang Weimin as well so it wasn't as awkward as she thought it'd be.
"Let's have dinner!" announced Mu Chenyan and asked everyone to gather around for dinner. Since there were more people tonight, they went to the dining hall to eat at the grand dining table which usually was left unused in this small family.
Now, it was of some use.
When Mu Chenyan clipped some green pepper beef tenderloin for Gou Jinjin, she said, "Eat more."
Hearing that, Hyson almost choked up on food he had yet to swallow. He drank some water and patted his chest. You can't blame the poor guy, on this table, there wasn't a single person who hadn't heard the same phrase from Mu Chenyan before. Suddenly, his eyes fell on Cui Xukun and Amiah who were sitting a bit far from Mu Chenyan's reach and Hyson changed his words. Okay, there were two others who hadn't been served like this.
Even everyone from his group had been told the same thing the first time they showed up. And now, his amazing godmother took it upon herself to feed the new target.
Unbeknownst to Hyson's thoughts, everyone enjoyed the meal heartily as always. It was true when Hyson say that no one can leave this house feeling unfulfilled. There was always something to eat here.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter dinner, everyone scattered again. This time, Hyson pulled Raelle away from everyone.
"What are you doing?" asked Raelle. "Where are you taking me?"
"Let's sit under the moon and enjoy the summer breeze," suggested Hyson.
"Even if you're interested in feeding the mosquitoes out there, I'm not," replied Raelle. "There is nothing to see out there."
Hyson rolled his eyes and then finally relented, "Then let's sit in the sunroom? Okay?"
"Sounds good."
So the two of them went to sit in the sunroom.
"So, what do you want to talk about?" asked Raelle. Of course, since he dragged her all the way here, he must have something to say. Or he wouldn't insist on pulling her here.
Hyson silently paced around as she sat there and looked at him moving around.
"What is it?"
"It's nothing," he said. "I just thought to spend more time with you since I won't be around for at least a month."
"That's all?" she asked.
"That's all," he replied.
"Hyson, say something that I can actually believe," said Raelle. "Stop wasting my time. Get to the point. Or if you're so eager to spend time with me, how about we have a movie marathon tonight?"
Hyson tsked at her, "You just know how to use my weakness against me."
"I learned it from you," she told him.
"Are you saying all the bad things are taught by me?"
"Isn't that the truth?"
Hyson gaped at her and sighed, "Fine. It's me. Of course, it's me. It's my duty in this world to teach you all the wrong things."
"Get to the point," she said again.
"It's about your sister-in-law," he started. "Don't kill me if I rejected her and in the process, hurt her."
Raelle gave him a look, "Do you think between you and her, I'll choose her?"
"No," he replied. "But if given the chance, you'll definitely choose to protect her."
"Do you really need my protection?" she asked. "Just because you like acting like a baby, doesn't mean you are one."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHyson stuck his tongue out at her. "Whatever. I just thought of giving you a heads-up. Also, when I'm not here, take care of yourself. Your health is very important. Don't take it so lightly. There is no rush to work. You pay people high salaries to work. They should learn to function without you. And don't..."
"Stop." Hyson looked up at her. "I don't wanna hear your nagging."
Hyson rolled his eyes at her, "Of course, it's nagging. Anyway, when I'm not around, keep an eye on Opa, Yanyan, and my mum as well. I have an intuition that things won't be going smoothly. So, you have to keep an eye on my mum. Although Yanyan can take on anything, you should still lend her a hand."
"Got it."
"Also, go a little easy on your siblings and your father when I'm not here. Even if there is no need to be friendly, you can be civil."
"I'm always civil."
"Oh? Then refrain from saying too much. Remember the lesson I gave you, you don't always have to say what's on your mind. Somethings can be kept inside."
"You of all people shouldn't be giving me this advice," said Raelle.
Hyson cleared his throat. He definitely shouldn't be giving that advice since he usually doesn't follow it himself but it didn't stop him from telling her to follow it.
"Is there anything else?" she asked.
"I'll miss you. So, you better miss me too!"
"I'll try to remember you," she replied.
Hyson went over and held her shoulders saying, "I'll make sure to keep reminding you of my presence. Don't think it's so easy to forget me!"
Raelle looked at his face and said, "I don't know what to do with you."
Hyson messed up all her hair saying, "You can't do anything at this point."
