Master's Untamed Wife

After the tea, Shui Xian insisted on leaving. It was already late and it didn't feel right to stay any longer. Both Grandpa Zhai and Grandma Zhai were too happy to see them here and obviously asked them to come often.

Getting a chance to talk to Raelle alone, Xiang Weimin stepped over to her side and said, "It's nice to meet you."

"Is it?" responded Raelle blankly.

Xiang Weimin smiled a little, "Maybe it isn't for you, but it is nice to me. Because I have always wished to see you. Although I never thought we'd meet like this, I'm glad we did."

Raelle looked straight at his face. With her ability to read people, she could say that Xiang Weimin meant what he said. He was genuinely happy to meet her like this and it could be seen in the way his eyes sparkled a little. His expressions as he looked at her were soft. She was certain that this was their first time meeting but that look in his eyes was the same as she saw in Mu Chenyan's eyes.

This actually puzzled her a little. She wasn't able to comprehend what did it mean? Mu Chenyan's feelings for her were understandable since she watched her grow up. But why were Xiang Weimin's feelings towards her so intense when they had never even met or seen each other before?

"You know who I am, right?" he asked her when she stayed silent for a long while.

"I do," she answered.

Xiang Weimin heaved a sigh of relief, "That's a relief."

Raelle stared at him when he said that not understanding what he meant by that as well. Feelings had always been complicated for her and it was no different now when she was faced with such strong emotions emitting from Xiang Weimin.

Perhaps, to her knowing that he was her elder brother was nothing special. But to him, it was a whole different story. Since he had always yearned to meet her. Their age gap was big which meant he looked at her like she was still his baby sister. Now that was an entirely different story that Raelle didn't feel such a thing. She never considered herself to be a baby even when she was a kid.

"Ellie, let's go!"

Raelle looked over at Hyson and nodded her head. Meanwhile, Xiang Weimin looked at Hyson with a complicated look in his eyes. And in return, Hyson offered him a big smile, "See you later, Lieutenant!"

When they left, Zhai Yanjun helped Xiang Weimin to his room. And looking at his face intensely, he stated, "Weimin Ge, did you notice?"

"What?"

"You and Raelle not only share the same family name but you both even have some resemblance," said Zhai Yanjun.

Xiang Weimin stared at him, "It's just as they said. You're really slow, Yanjun."

"What did I do now?"

"Am I not supposed to have any resemblance with my own sister?" retorted Xiang Weimin.

"I'm not talking about Wai. She looks like your mother," said Zhai Yanjun.

"I am not talking about her as well," said Xiang Weimin. "I am talking about Raelle. Are you forgetting that my grandfather's name is Xiang Tianyu?"

Zhai Yanjun almost fell down when he heard that. He stared at him with wide eyes. "No way!" He gaped at him in disbelief as he tried to think it all over again. He covered his mouth, not able to come back to himself for a minute. "She... She is really your sister? But I thought you only had one sister."

Xiang Weimin frowned at him, "You've dated Wai for so long, did she never mention that we have another sister?"

Zhai Yanjun shook his head, "You know how your sister is. She doesn't like talking about families. She was never interested in knowing about my family and she never mentioned anything about her own."

Xiang Weimin was actually not that surprised to get that answer from Zhai Yanjun. He knew Wai enough to know what kind of a person she was. She'd run from anything related to families. Since they were young, she had avoided family dinners. She just didn't like such things. And he couldn't really blame her for that either.

"But Ge, is Raelle really your sister?" asked Zhai Yanjun.

"She is," answered Xiang Weimin. "She is our younger sister."

"Wow!" Zhai Yanjun didn't know what else to say in response here or how to react exactly. This wasn't surprising but rather shocking to him. He never even tried to connect that Raelle could be related to Xiang Weimin. No wonder, she said he was slow. He was really slow since he didn't even catch on to this. He must have looked like an idiot to all of them.

"Stop thinking about it now," said Xiang Weimin. "And go back to your room already."

"Ah!" Zhai Yanjun suddenly screamed, startling Xiang Weimin as well.

"What's wrong?" asked Xiang Weimin.

Zhai Yanjun pulled his hair saying, "I almost went on a blind date with my ex-girlfriend's sister! What the hell?!"

Xiang Weimin's eyes widened, "What did you just say?"

Zhai Yanjun took a deep breath and explained the ins and outs of the situation to Xiang Weimin who looked mad when he finished. He pulled his ear saying, "How dare you to ditch my sister like that?"

Zhai Yanjun tried to save his ear saying, "It'd be worse if I had gone on that blind date."

"I don't care," retorted Xiang Weimin. "You actually insulted my sister by not showing up at all."

"Weimin Ge, why are you so biased?" questioned Zhai Yanjun. "I thought you had always been an objective person even when you heard about the issues between me and Wai, you'd never take sides. What's wrong with you this time?"

Xiang Weimin let him go but didn't reply. How was he supposed to tell him that towards Wai, he didn't feel the need to protect her? She was someone who never needed him. But towards Raelle, he felt guilty for not being there for all her life. It was purely instinctual that he got mad at Zhai Yanjun over this.. He couldn't possibly be rational.
