Seeing how Cui Xukun turned quiet after eting Shui Xian, Cloe's brows quirked up thoughtfully. In fact, he was actually really chatty with Shui Xian, it was only after seeing Raelle that he turned quiet. The corner of Cloe's lips curled up slightly at this thought. She couldn't really bla him for that though.
"Are you stunned speechless by Raelle Xiang's beauty?" Cloe joked with Cui Xukun as they were entering the cinema to watch the movie.
Cui Xukun looked at her and said, "This was my first ti seeing her in person." He paused to look at her face before saying, "I have to say she is a beauty. But she looks like an aggressive beauty."
"Aggressive?" repeated Cloe curiously. "My Chief is definitely not a delicate beauty. But she isn't aggressive either. She is the calst person you'd ever et in your life. However, she does co off as an aggressive person because of her blank face."
"By aggressive beauty, I ant that her looks are the first thing that catches anyone's attention. That's how striking she looks," said Cui Xukun. "I'm not trying to praise another woman before you. Trust , she isn't even my type. I like you more."
Cloe chuckled to herself, "So, I'm your type?"
Cui Xukun nodded his head without any hesitation, "You're definitely tailor-made for ."
"Don't get ahead of yourself," comnted Cloe.
"Sorry!"
"Sothing seems off between you and Mr. Shui," stated Cloe as they found their seats and sat down. "Are you guys having a fight?" She took a pause to add, "I'm not trying to pry into your personal matters here. I'm just a bit curious to know what did you do to tick off soone like Master Xian."
"You think it's difficult to tick off Xian?" questioned Cui Xukun. "Although he had always been a jolly person, it had been quite easy to get on his nerves. After all, he had always been a sensitive person." He took a sip of his coke and told her, "But I did hear that he had changed in these years. He had beco a lot calr but a lot more dangerous as well."
"That's true," answered Cloe. "They say he never lashes out his employees. Even if he is mad, he'd make them work to the bones silently instead of ruthlessly scolding them."
"I feel like he is a different person," said Cui Xukun. "He doesn't seem like the Xian I was familiar with. But today, when I saw him laughing, for a mont I actually thought that he was still the sa Xian I knew who loved to laugh all the ti." He laughed to himself softly as he went on, "He was the person whose laughter always ca from his heart. He was too real and always wore his feelings on his sleeves. He loved acting all cool and charming but in reality, he was just a silly boy with a golden heart."
Cloe munched on the popcorn as she comnted, "People change." She sighed to herself, "However, I really can't imagine the Shui Xian you're talking about. Although I have only t him a couple of tis, I have a completely different understanding of him." She glanced at the side of his face, "Maybe you should stop looking at him from the eyes of the past. Don't try to find the past him. You just have to accept the present him."
"But I'm afraid that if I forgot the past him, we would never be able to go back to being friends," said Cui Xukun."
"I don't know what's wrong between you two," started Cloe. "But I can tell you that you can never go back to being what you guys were. That's an impossible dream to have. Don't have such wishful thinking. Shui Xian isn't what he was. And ask yourself, are you what you were back then?"
Cui Xukun stayed quiet in response. Deep down he also knew that she was right. There really was no way to go back to how they were. He understood that truth. However, he still wanted to take a chance. Even if there was a small chance that they could be friends again, he wanted to take that chance.
"Do you know that your words really hurt?"
Cloe smiled at him, "I know. I learned it from the best."
"By that 'best' you ant Raelle Xiang?"
Cloe nodded her head, "Yup! There is no one else I know whose words could hurt as much as hers."
"And yet you called her your girl crush," he comnted sourly.
Cloe chuckled at that, "Are you jealous?"
"Maybe..."
"Well, it's okay. You won't be the first one to be jealous of Raelle Xiang. She attracts too much attention and too much jealousy as well," said Cloe.
"I actually thought that Xian married on impulse," said Cui Xukun honestly. "Because when I learned from you that his wife is Raelle Xiang, I really couldn't imagine him with her. However, today, my who perspective changed."
"They are perfect together," said Cloe. "And Shui Xian loves Raelle a lot."
Cui Xukun could only nod in reply, "He really does. I could see it." He sighed out, "The way he looked at her made his feelings very clear."
"But you're still not able to picture them as a couple?" Cui Xukun was surprised when she read through his thoughts. "I believe since you have known Shui Xian for years, it ans you're there when he was together with his first wife." Cui Xukun's eyes widened as she went on, "And since you always saw him with his first wife, seeing him with Raelle made you finally realize that things have really changed."
He rubbed his arms as he shivered, "I literally just got chills. Why are you looking through my mind?"
Cloe rolled her eyes at his reaction and looked at the entrance. Her brows went up when she saw Shui Xian and Raelle entering. She could not believe her eyes for a mont. Her Chief was actually coming to see a romantic movie? Even if it had a codic undertone, it was still a romantic movie in the end!
She suddenly had to remind herself of the sa words she said to Cui Xukun earlier that people change.. It couldn't be helped.
