Chapter 986: Not The Right One

"Fai! Oi!"         

    

Hyson opened his eyes and looked at He Rou, "What is it, sister-in-law?"     

He Rou instantly looked around to see if anyone was around to hear him calling her 'sister-in-law' so naturally. She only relaxed when she noticed that they were alone. Even if they were alone, she couldn't let her guard down. In this industry, it was challenging to keep secrets.     

She pulled a chair and sat beside him as she said, "You seem very dedicated these days."     

"Haven't I always been very dedicated?"      

He Rou gave him a look, "No, it's different this time around. You seem to be putting too much effort as if you want to finish the work here as fast as possible. What's the hurry? Are you in a hurry to get to your best friend's wedding?"     

Hyson turned his head to look at her, "How do you know about my best friend's wedding?"     

"The whole country knows," replied He Rou. "You..." She narrowed her eyes at him and sighed, "You should really keep up with the trending news on Weibo."     

Hyson frowned and immediately took out his phone. He logged in to his account and checked the trending list. His eyes widened when he saw at least 5 headlines related to Raelle and Shui Xian.      

"What did you do this time?" he muttered before he clicked to read.     

He was taken aback to see the photos that appeared before him and his brows raised up in surprise. Oh. This was unexpected.      

He looked at the photo where Raelle was on one knee as she looked up at Shui Xian. There was a bouquet of tissues in her hand which made him chuckle. Suddenly, his smile widened when he realized the meaning behind the photo.     

The matter started last night when a fairly popular account of a street photographer uploaded these clicks as she stated how she found this beautiful couple after watching the movie and couldn't help capturing their beautiful moment. At first, the comments were about how romantic it seemed and how the protagonists of the photo had a high beauty index.

But later in the night, the trend changed when someone raised the question of whether the people in the photo were Raelle Xiang and Shui Xian. As if the network blew up, the whole incident caught on fire. It didn't take long for people to confirm that indeed, it was Raelle and Shui Xian. The same couple who caused quite a stir when they appeared on the red carpet together last time.     

At that time, there were speculations about their relationship. But now, it seemed the couple was moving faster than anyone else. There was already a proposal and the proposal was actually done by Raelle Xiang.      

"Your best friend's impact is big," said He Rou. "I don't know why she always clashes with me though. My new advertisement was supposed to go live today but my company halted it. Currently, whoever tried to take the limelight from Raelle Xiang would be asking for a face slap. After all, even if she isn't a celebrity, she seemed to be quite more appealing to the general public."     

"It's because she always kept a mysterious image," said Hyson.      

"Are you surprised?"     

Hyson shook his head, "Not really. Anything Ellie does isn't that surprising. She is a person who likes doing things out of the box. She had been book-smart all her life. It's just interesting to see that she had learned the ropes of interpersonal relationships now. The happiest person right now would be Xian Ge."     

"This is gonna have quite some impact on the corporate world," commented He Rou. "That's what my grandfather said as well. After all, both of them aren't someone to mess with. It was already creating a huge stir when their dating news came out. Now that they are ready to announce their wedding, it's gonna shake the hierarchy of power." Then she sighed heavily, "No matter what, I never thought I'd admire Raelle Xiang to this level. She really didn't hesitate to propose."     

"Are you admiring her or feeling envious?"     

He Rou glared at him for actually seeing through her. Okay, she was envious. Who can blame her? She wasn't even allowed to date her boyfriend in the open and had to keep it under covers. It felt like she was having an affair or something.     

"Don't be so envious. You and she are different. Public opinion has no effect on Raelle's mental health or her career. Nothing can deter her. That's why she rarely thinks about the consequences when doing things. She is someone who is allowed to live freely. You can't. You chose this path where freedom is dependent on how accepting your fans are of your behavior. Because it's true that people like us are who we are because of fans. So, their opinions can make our careers and break it too."     

He Rou looked at him deeply before saying, "I might retire after filming this movie."     

"Huh?" Hyson was dumbfounded to hear that. Where did that come from?     

"You know, originally, I entered the entertainment industry to be a little close to Zi Hong. I wanted to understand his passion by entering his world. I was just following him. In the end, I did fall in love with acting. However, I realized just recently that I still love Zi Hong a lot more than acting. I don't want to keep feeling so restricted. It took me years to chase him. I want to date him freely and marry him."         

    

Hyson was surprised to hear this.      

"What if Zi Hong Ge doesn't want you to abandon your career?"     

"This is the path he showed me. I loved walking on it until now. I have already been at the top. I'm not that ambitious to want to go higher. I should stop while I love acting. I don't want to get tired."     

Hyson thought about something before saying, "Well, I hope this decision wasn't made because of my best friend's proposal."     

He Rou pursed her lips before nodding, "She played a part too. I love the way she does whatever she wants. Since she loves Master Xian, she didn't hesitate to propose to him. Even though it wasn't anything grand, you can see how precious that spontaneous moment was for the two of them, just through those photos. They really match each other so well. Don't forget to invite me to the wedding."     

"I'll make sure to add your name to the guest list," said Hyson.      

"By the way, I've noticed something lately."     

"What?"     

"You seem to be avoiding our director," stated He Rou. "And our director had been finding ways to spend more time with you. What did you do?"     

"What did I do?"     

"I mean what did you do to charm that bad-tempered director of ours?"     

"Is it okay for you to bad mouth people behind their back, Sister Rou?"     

"She is notorious for her temper in the industry, I'm not the only one talking about it." She stared at him and went on, "Don't avoid my question. Just tell me. What's going on? Did you really charm her?"     

"Do you think I can charm anyone?"

He Rou nodded her head seriously, "You're either playing oblivious or you really have no idea about your own charms. This face of yours alone is enough to charm people and add on your well-mannered ways. You're a deadly combination of charms."     

"I'm flattered," said Hyson. "But trust me, charming people wasn't the intention."     

"So, am I right? Is she really into you?"     

Hyson sighed, "Aren't you able to see it more clearly? Especially when she is being so obvious about it. I'm getting some weird looks from everyone on the set because of her change toward me. Do you think I'm comfortable with that?"     

"Oh, poor you! It seems our Fai doesn't fancy Amiah Jade. Well, she is pretty and successful as well. Apart from her cranky personality, she is alright."     

"When did I say she is not alright?" retorted Hyson. "But even if she is the best person around, she isn't someone I'm looking for."     

"You really don't like her."     

"Not as a partner for sure," said Hyson. "I'm not the right person for her."     

"What? You're saying, you're not right for her and not the other way around? Fai, how do you even say that?"     

"Did I say anything wrong?" he asked.      

"How can you be wrong?" she retorted. "I'm just surprised that you're so clear with your thoughts."         

    

"I always had been level-headed," he replied. "I know when to charge and when to retreat in life."     

He Rou couldn't help rubbing his head as she said, "Aiyo! Aren't you a smart bean?"     

"Sister, you should remove your hand. I think someone just clicked a photo. Get ready, soon you and I are also gonna make headlines."     

He Rou was startled as she pulled her hand back and looked around to see. She didn't find anyone and looked at Hyson suspiciously.     

Hyson shrugged, "You can choose not to believe. But I'll suggest you to be prepared."
