Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 1224  He's Your Boss

"Since you agree that my gift was practical, then another copy won't hurt, right?" asked Hyson cheekily.

"No!" replied Raelle. "I told you, don't give me that kind of gift again."

"Tsk," Hyson tsked at that. "I'm pretty sure you didn't even use one of those gifts."

"That thing can't even be used as a dusting cloth," responded Raelle.

"Yeah. Because it's lingerie!" was Hyson's reply. "Do you know how expensive it was? Did you leave it in the bottom of your closet to catch dust? Or did you really start using it as a dusting cloth?"

"No, it's still catching dust, I believe," the answer came from Shui Xian because Raelle didn't even remember where she left it.

"You both don't know how to appreciate someone's gift. It was something gave you from my heart."

Back then, Shui Xian wasn't familiar with Hyson so when he saw that gift, he was also a bit taken aback. But now that he was all too familiar with Hyson, he understood all his tricks.

"It just came to my mind that Fai has already played his role as the bridesmaid," said Shui Xian. Raelle gave him a look as he went on, "Usually, bridesmaids arrange such things to make jokes like this. So, Fai has done his job once."

Hyson's lips twitched, "I swear that wasn't the intention."

"I know," replied Shui Xian.

"Did you really call earlier for this question?" asked Raelle. "And why do you even ask me every time what to buy when in the end, you never listen to me? You always buy whatever you feel like buying."

"It's a formality," said Hyson. "Do you really think I'd buy what you say? It's just me being formal. It's a kind of ritual. I call to annoy you and make you think what I should buy but later, I just do what comes to my mind."

"So, you already planned what are you gonna buy this time?"

"No," responded Hyson. "I haven't decided yet. But don't worry, I'll make sure to get on your never!"

"I'm definitely not looking forward to it," was Raelle's answer. "Did you know that there is so much to do as a bride? I have to meet the photographer. I have to choose themes, locations, and outfits for wedding photos. Can you imagine?"

"Wow! I feel so good hearing that."

"As long as I'm not happy, you'll be happy, eh?"

"How else would I be called a true best friend if I don't enjoy the suffering of my best friend?" Hyson chuckled and added, "Anyway, you don't have to do it alone. The groom is with you."

"Yes, I am," Shui Xian agreed. "I'll always go through everything with you. You're not alone."

"You think I'll do it alone? Of course, you're following me," said Raelle. "Or else, I'm out."

"No, no. I'm here. I'm always here."

"Well, you gotta be, Xian Ge," said Hyson. "It's your wedding too after all. And in fact, you and I are both very clear that Ellie will be following you as a formality. The choices are all up to you. Because if you let her decide, you might not get to hold this wedding until next year."

"I'm not that bad at choosing."

"Yes, you are," said Hyson with conviction. "You have no idea about your bad habits."

"Everyone has bad habits. And you have more than me."

"I'm a bad person, to begin with. Don't you say I'm bad at everything?"

"No lie detected," responded Raelle.

"Yeah. Yeah. I'm so bad. Whatever! You're not that good of a person too." Hyson looked up at the time and said, "I'm gonna hang up now. Let's talk later. I've to get back to my room and catch up on my sleep. You also go back home. Don't wander outside so late. You kids dating these days have no sense of time and don't know to get back home on time."

"Scram!"

Both Raelle and Hyson looked at Shui Xian because this came from him which surprised both of them.

"That's my dialogue," said Raelle.

"Baby, I'm also yours," was Shui Xian's response making her speechless.

Hyson made a weird sound and said, "I better go now before I really puke out the pasta I just ate. Too much sugar in this call is not good for my health. I'll have to do extra exercise to maintain my figure otherwise."

"Wait!" said Raelle as she stopped. "From your figure, it just came to my mind that you look weaker than the time you left. Are you really not getting enough to eat or the sleep quality is bad?"

"I also noticed. What's wrong, Fai? If there is a problem tell me, and I'll ask your agent to talk to the director or something," said Shui Xian.

Hyson smiled at them, "Now, suddenly you both are concerned about me? There is nothing to worry about. I do look weak but that's the intention. I'm supposed to play the role a emaciated, a bit haggard, and beaten down by the society kind of a young man. So, I'm working on losing weight."

"What about your health?" asked Raelle.

"There is a nutritionist here. Don't worry. I won't overwork myself to lose weight and compromise my health. How else would I attend my best friend's wedding?"

"Actually, I'm more worried that you'll look so bad in my wedding photos."

Hyson rolled his eyes at her and smiled, "Don't worry, I'd still be more handsome than you."

"We'll see about that," said Raelle. "Take care of yourself better. Don't look like a listless zombie with hollow cheeks at my wedding."

"Yes, boss! I won't let you down!"

Raelle pointed at Shui Xian, "He's your boss. I'm not."

"If he is the boss, you're the lady boss. If my boss has to listen to you, doesn't that make you the real big boss?"

"Agreed!" said Shui Xian. "Even I have to listen to you."

Raelle didn't say anything to them both regarding this. Instead, she said, "Good night, Hyson."

"Good night!" said Hyson as he hung up the call.
