Master's Untamed Wife

1071 My Dear Godson

“Yanyan, do you need some help?”

Mu Chenyan looked at Hyson in amusement, “You finally got the time to ask me this question? Aren’t you a little too early?”

Of course, Hyson could feel the sarcasm. It was too obvious. And he also knew he was in the wrong so he scratched the tip of his nose sheepishly, “Isn’t it because I know my godmother is the most powerful around here? How could she need others’ help? Especially, mine. I am still a baby who often needs her help. At most, I can provide my godmother with some emotional support.”

Mu Chenyan laughed at that. She pinched his nose, “Aiyo, my godson is so thoughtful.”

Hyson smiled at her, “I know, right? Even I get surprised by how thoughtful I am.”

Mu Chenyan shook her head at him and said, “Since you’re already offering your kind services, how can I refuse? I really need your emotional support. I’m so tired.”

Hyson gave her a hug making Mu Chenyan raise her brow at his action. She didn’t understand what he was up to but since one of her babies was willing to offer a hug, how could she refuse? She never could!

So, she lifted her hand and hugged him back with a content smile on her face.

Hyson pulled away a little to look at her face, “How is it? Are you feeling recharged again? Isn’t my magical hug like a rejuvenation pill?”

.....

Mu Chenyan pursed her lips when she understood the intention behind this hug and almost rolled her eyes. Eventually, she held herself back from rolling her eyes and ended up laughing instead. She tapped his forehead, “Silly.”

Hyson gave her a toothy grin in response.

He suddenly found his mother on the other side, sitting with Zhai Yanjun and pampering him. Hyson’s eyes deepened and held Mu Chenyan’s hand before pulling her to a corner.

“What’s wrong, little Fai?”

Hyson took a deep breath, “The secret of birth is out now.”

Mu Chenyan’s brows quirked up and she turned serious when she heard it. “How?”

Hyson shrugged, “I heard it’s my mum’s father who spilled the beans.”

“How does he know?” asked Mu Chenyan in confusion.

Hyson stared at her, “I don’t think it’d be difficult for people to make a connection. He might be old but he isn’t senile. He spent his life playing the game of nerves with the old and foxy politicians and he had been one of them. He couldn’t be a fool.” He took a pause and changed his words, “No, he is a fool. I almost forgot for a moment. A man who couldn’t even clean up his own family is certainly a fool. So what if he had a successful career? When one’s personal life is a mess, that person can only be considered unsuccessful in life!”

Mu Chenyan patted his head, “Don’t talk like that. He is your elder. I know you don’t wanna call him your grandfather but he is still your mother’s father. Respect him. Don’t be rude or people would say that your godmother didn’t teach you any manners. That’d be really hurtful, eh!”

Hyson lowered his head. He knew why she said it. Mu Chenyan might wreak havoc in the world on her own but she’d always teach him to be peace-loving. She really wanted him to be a good kid. She didn’t mind when people commented on her. Whether they thought she was rude, inelegant, or unladylike, she never cared. But if someone said that she didn’t raise Raelle and Hyson well, she’d really be hurt.

Hyson could only sigh and agree, “I know, I’ll keep it in mind. I won’t do anything that could make people point at you or my mum. Have I ever let you down before?”

Mu Chenyan stroked his face lovingly, “Of course, not. My little Fai is a good boy!” She dropped this topic and asked, “So, Zhai Kuijun also knows?”

“Yes,” answered Hyson.

Mu Chenyan’s eyes flashed. “No wonder he had been looking at Yue with so much guilt, pain, and confusion in his eyes lately.” She sighed to herself and asked, “How do you know about this?”

“Jun Ge told me,” said Mu Chenyan.

Mu Chenyan paused and looked over to the side Zhai Yanjun was trying to make Yue Yue laugh. She narrowed her eyes at him.

“He... Is he okay with it all?” asked Mu Chenyan.

“What do you think?” asked Hyson in return.

Mu Chenyan already had the answer. The way Zhai Yanjun behaved with Yue Yue was exactly the same as if nothing happened. And this also meant that he truly was okay with this truth. In fact, he might even be quite happy about it too.

“What did he say to you?”

“He is bothering me,” said Hyson. “He keeps coming to me. At first, I could still hold him off since he didn’t know we are brothers. Now, as if he got a free pass to annoy me. It’s so damn annoying to have an elder brother like him.”

Mu Chenyan smiled at him, “But my little Fai doesn’t dislike him either. If you really disliked him, he wouldn’t be able to hover around you whenever he wanted. It’s because you’re letting him in that he is getting the chance to do so.”

Hyson pursed his lips as his thoughts were so clear in front of Mu Chenyan. He couldn’t hide anything from her. He suddenly hugged her again and said, “I don’t dislike him but... I... I don’t know about having a father or grandparents. I don’t wanna be a child of the Zhai family. Can’t I be just your godson?”

Mu Chenyan was startled by his words. Even though Hyson always acted like a kid in front of everyone but all of that was pretense. But right now, he was truly being a baby which left Mu Chenyan feeling a bit lost. She didn’t know how to react for a moment.

“I don’t wanna get in the way of mum’s happiness,” said Hyson. “And I know, I have no right to do so. She has already done more than enough for me. I can’t ask for more. And I also know that she really loves Zhai Kuijun. That fact didn’t change.” He went silent for a moment before saying, “But just because of their relationship, do I have to change everything in my life? What if I don’t wanna change?”

“Then don’t.”

These words weren’t coming from Mu Chenyan but from Grandfather Xiang who appeared beside them at an unknown time. He looked at Hyson’s aggrieved look and his heart felt stuffy. He beckoned him over.

Once Hyson went to his side, Grandfather Xiang held his hand and said, “How can anyone ask our family little prince to make changes? I’m still alive. And you’re still my Xiang family’s little prince. Do you have a doubt about your Opa’s words?”

Hyson shook his head, “I don’t. I know Opa loves me the most. Even more than Ellie.”

Grandfather Xiang smiled at his cheeky smile but he didn’t refute it. He loving tapped his nose and said, “Don’t make that sad face. How can our family’s mascot be unhappy? We laugh because you laugh. If you started keeping the unsmiling face like Raelle, wouldn’t our days become cloudy? Now, give me a smile.”

Hyson happily smiled at that.

“That’s more like it,” said Grandfather Xiang. “This smile suits you the best. Stop worrying about anything else. Don’t you know our family’s motto? We’ll just go with the flow. You do whatever your heart desires. No one can force you into anything. Hm? I’m your biggest supporter here. And so is Chenyan. Right?”

Mu Chenyan looked at him and nodded, “Was there ever a doubt? Do I call him my godson for fun? Of course, I have raised him like my own. So, it’s my job to protect him and his happiness. How can I let anyone disrupt his life?” She rubbed Hyson’s head, “My dear godson, your godmother is still here. Don’t worry about a thing.”

“I was not worried,” said Hyson. “I just wanted to share my feelings with you.”

He truly just wanted to share his feelings with Mu Chenyan. He couldn’t say it to his own mother. And he didn’t have to say it out loud to Raelle. But he was truly Mu Chenyan’s baby son so he wanted to ask for some love right now.

He got lucky and got some love from Grandfather Xiang as a bonus.

“Now, our family’s mascot should go and welcome the guests at the door,” said Mu Chenyan.

“Huh?” Hyson was dumbfounded. “Why me?” ????????????????????????????. ????o????

“Aren’t you Elle’s brother?” asked Mu Chenyan. She raised her hand and called out, “Weimin, come here!”

Xiang Weimin came over and looked at everyone before asking, “What is it,, aunt?”

“Take your little brother to the door and welcome everyone,” said Mu Chenyan. “The guests would be here soon. You both should welcome them in as the bride’s brothers.”
