Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 902: Rich Sponsor

Hyson was keen enough to notice that everyone in the company seemed to be looking at him. More like, sneaking peeks at him and then discussing something which definitely involved him. But he wasn't interested in whatever gossip was making rounds in the company regarding him.          

    

He went straight to his manager's room and plopped down on the recliner before closing his eyes to rest. He had just come back from an ad shoot and just wanted to close his eyes to relax for a moment but apparently, he was asking for too much.     

Soon, the door opened and his manager came inside, "You're here."     

Hyson hummed in response to Li Xinxin's words.     

"How was the shoot?" asked Li Xinxin. "I was supposed to follow you but I had to deal with something urgently."     

"It's okay," replied Hyson without opening his eyes. "The assistant you gave me is good enough. Although she is a little clumsy, she is good at her work."     

"That's good," said Li Xinxin. She had been meaning to ask him about the assistant she chose for him but didn't seem to get any time to have a chat with him. She waited for a moment as she contemplated. She also was part of the company so she obviously heard the gossip about her artist.      

"Sister Xin, don't hum and haw," came Hyson's voice. "You obviously want to say something. Just shoot already."

"There is a rumor going on around the company," started Li Xinxin. "They say you have a gold master supporting you."     

"Oh?" responded Hyson carelessly. "I thought this was old news." It's not like he was oblivious to the speculations people had regarding his background. Most people assumed he was from a rich family background but those who were jealous also liked to throw dirty water at him saying he was being supported by a rich madam and was pretending to be a prince.     

Hyson was still very carefree so he didn't care.     

"Today, there seems to be a heated discussion again because some people saw you getting out a limited edition luxury car. They also claim that there was an older woman in the car." She even pulled out her phone and showed him a sneak shot that showed him when he alighted from Mu Chenyan's car and you could also see Mu Chenyan's face. Although it was blurry, one could still see it was a woman.     

Hyson laughed out loud once he saw this. He found this so funny that his eyes got teary. "I can't even refute this one. Sister Xin, don't bother. I am what I am because of the women in that car. So, you don't have to fight with anyone. Without their support, I'd be no one."     

Li Xinxin was momentarily quiet and picked up something from his words, "Women? You mean there wasn't just one?"     

"No, there were two women in there," said Hyson.      

"And what's your relationship with them?" she asked.     

"What do you think?" asked Hyson in return instead of answering her question.     

Li Xinxin was quiet for a moment before she said, "Well, I don't believe that anyone of them is your rich sponsor. I'd believe it easily if you say one of them is your mother."     

"What if both are my mothers?"      

Li Xinxin raised her brow inquisitively at him.     

Hyson smiled at her reaction, "By the way, you really trust me, or do you look down on me and think that I can't catch myself a rich sponsor?"     

Li Xinxin rolled her eyes at that, "I'm not blind. Why do I feel like we have had this discussion before? Am I tripping?" She scratched her head and asked, "Did we talk about this when I was drunk?"     

"No," replied Hyson.      

"Why don't you tell me what I said when I was drunk?"     

Hyson shrugged, "There was nothing important."     

Li Xinxin obviously didn't believe him this time. How could nothing be important? She knew herself. She must have done something when she was drunk.

"I'm really sorry for that day."     

"Sister Xin, you've apologized already," reminded Hyson.      

"I still can't believe that I was so unprofessional to call my artist out to a bar while I was drunk." Whenever she thought about that, she wanted to slap herself.      

"I look at it in a different way," said Hyson. "You felt comfortable enough to call me out because you trust me. And at that time, you definitely needed a listener so you thought about me. I really don't mind."     

"Don't say that," she shook her head. "What if I called you again when I'm drinking alone? You can't spoil my habits like this."     

Hyson didn't respond to that but said, "Let's get serious. Whoever is distributing that photo of mine, you should tell them to be careful. My mothers are not that easy to mess with. One of them might be a delicate flower, but the other is a piranha. If they so randomly tried to use this against me, they shouldn't blame me for the consequences because even I won't be able to control the situation then." Obviously, he wasn't being a good-hearted person by warning, he just didn't want to attract more trouble to himself. And he knew if Mu Chenyan got involved, there would be trouble.     

Li Xinxin took his words seriously and decided to do her best to curb this stupid rumor. Wasn't it obvious enough that her artist didn't need a rich sponsor? He was rich enough himself.     

"Don't worry, I'll handle it well," said Li Xinxin. "You tell me seriously, how was the shoot?"     

"It was really fine," repeated Hyson. "I'm not used to doing ads alone so it felt kinda lonely at first but it was fine later on."     

"You have to get used to doing things alone," said Li Xinxin. "Although the company doesn't want you guys to disband, they want to cultivate you individually. You all have so much talent, it'd be a shame to just focus on group activities. So, you'll have to take more endorsements."     

"I understand," Hyson nodded. "I told you, I'll follow the company's arrangements. I have no complaints at all."
