The ambiance over the dinner was warm and comfortable with so many people. It was lively to have so many people gathered around for dinner. And it was actually the first time for the people of Xiang family in years to have so many guests.
Not many people were talking during the dinner. Raelle never liked talking when she ate and the people close to her were already used to it. Lin Zhen and the boys were still a bit shy to actually let themselves completely go. But their shyness didn't stop them from eating to their heart's fill. It wasn't so much because of Hyson's threat.
They didn't even take Hyson's threat so seriously.
It was purely because they loved the dishes placed before them. And they couldn't help eating more. Even if they had strict diet plans, that was thrown out the window tonight. There was no one to supervise them anyway.
It was only after dinner that Lin Zhen and the boys sat down with Mu Chenyan and Yue Yue. Why these two? Because Shui Xian and Raelle had already noticed how these boys were still not used to seeing them around. They couldn't forget that Shui Xian was their boss and Raelle... Well, her aura was not that easy to get comfortable with.
Grandfather Xiang was already old and didn't think that he should sit with these youngsters. However, he still sat with them for a while before leaving them alone.
"You have a beautiful family," commented Huang Shuyi when only they were left alone with Hyson.
Hyson would obviously not disagree with that and nodded his head, "That's for sure."
"Your mom is really sweet," Fang Yiwen couldn't help saying. From what time he spent with Mu Chenyan and Yue Yue, he could tell what kind of personalities both ladies had. Both were like two extremes but shared a very good friendship. It was surprising.
"Right," agreed Hyson. "She is sweet. Too sweet for her own good." It's not like he needed others to tell him what kind of a person his own mother was. He knew how sweet she was.
"Your godmother seems like a cool person," said Pei Zi Hong. "And have I mentioned that you have two beautiful mothers?"
Hyson smiled at his words, "Thanks for the compliment. And yes, my Yanyan is really cool. While my mum is a cautious and careful person in life, Yanyan is the opposite of her. She is careless and adventurous." He shook his head, "When my mum used to teach me, 'Fai, always have a plan in life.', Yanyan would teach me, 'Life is too short. If you continued to waste time on planning it, when are you gonna live it? Do things spontaneously and let life lead you.'"
"Even their thoughts don't match," chuckled Lin Zhen. "How are they still friends?"
"That's because they both are what the other person needs," replied Hyson. "My mum is cautious but she is sometimes too cautious. To the point where she'd not even be able to bring herself to try something new. But Yanyan would hold her hand and take her along. She knows how to encourage her. And then there is Yanyan, who gets adventurous but it gets wild. So, that's when my mum holds her hand and stops her from acting wildly."
"They certainly complement each other," remarked Fang Yiwen. "Now, I finally know what kind of women raised you into the person you are today."
"What kind of a person I am?" questioned Hyson curiously.
Fang Yiwen pinched his cheek making him narrow his eyes as he said, "A very cute one."
The rest laughed when they heard that leaving Hyson fuming. He was indeed cute. It couldn't be denied. But this was all because of the people around him. Since he was the youngest one, he was adored like a cutie pie. This was why he wanted a younger sister. Whoever he met in his life, he was always the young one.
Whether in the family or in the group, he was the youngest. And life decided to give him a brother and even that was an elder one. It was as if life was going against his wishes as well. Why couldn't he just have the satisfaction of having someone younger than him around?
"Should we come to see you off at the airport?" asked Lin Zhen.
Hyson stared at him strangely, "Zhen Ge, don't you have anything better to do in life? Why are you looking for trouble for yourself? I am not a kid. I can go by myself."
Lin Zhen tsked at him, "Isn't it because we are worried about you? It didn't end well last time and I believe it left a shadow on everyone around you. I can't possibly follow you to the set but I can come to the airport with you."
"No," Hyson sternly refused. It was enough that his two mothers were bringing him to the airport, he didn't want to add another person to the mix. It was embarrassing enough as it was. But he couldn't argue with his two beautiful mothers so he'd choose to argue with these older brothers instead.
It's not like he was going to war. He couldn't even understand why everyone was taking it so seriously. But Lin Zhen's words actually gave him the answer to his question. His last incident indeed left a shadow on everyone around him. It was good enough that his two beautiful mothers only decided to follow him to the airport and not to the set.
He actually considered it remarkable progress for the ladies whose lives had been revolving around him and Raelle. He found it reassuring that even though they were worried, they weren't stopping him from doing whatever he wanted. And neither did they try to tie themselves with him.
"Then we wish you luck," said Lin Zhen. "Do your best there."
Pei Zi Hong hugged him and added, "Little Fai, you better talk to Rourou if something bothers you. No, you can just look for her even if nothing is bothering you."
"You all are really..." Hyson didn't even know what to say now.. All these people made him speechless with their concern.
