Master's Untamed Wife

"Fai, I made this shredded chicken congee for you," Mu Chenyan placed the congee bowl in front of Hyson and lovingly gazed at him.

Yue pushed her aside and put the soup on the table, 'I simmered it for a long time. It's perfect for you.'

"Hey!" Mu Chenyan's voice raised up a little. "Are you trying to say that my congee is not good enough for him?"

'I'm saying you should stop hovering around my son!'

"Is he not my son?" retorted Mu Chenyan.

Lin Zhen had never seen such a scene before. He leaned close to Hyson and asked, "Which one is really a mother?"

"Both are," answered Hyson. Lin Zhen raised his brow at him and he elaborated, "And no, they are not a couple."

"I did not say that," gritted out Lin Zhen.

"I still wanted to make it clear since they love bicker like an old married couple and that makes people assume stuff," stated Hyson from experience. He pointed at Mu Chenyan and told him, "She is my godmother." Then he pointed at Yue, "And she is my birth mother." Again, his finger moved towards Mu Chenyan as he continued, "She is like a hot chili." And moving to Yue, "She is like a sweet and soft peach."

"I can see that," said Lin Zhen. Even though he had just met them, he could tell that Mu Chenyan had a bit of fiery light in her eyes while Yue was leaning towards sweet and soft eyes. It wasn't difficult to see what their personalities were like.

Grandfather Xiang placed his chopstick down with a bang and said to Mu Chenyan and Yue Yue, "Both of you, are you seriously not done for the day?"

Yue Yue gave him a pout, 'She doesn't let me take care of my son.'

"Shouldn't you be happy?" asked Grandfather Xiang. "You have got free labor. And this idiot is even more willing to work for you!"

Mu Chenyan's lips twitched, "Elder Xiang, is it okay for you to roast me like this in the presence of a guest?"

"Oh, so you both know that we have a guest over?" Grandfather Xiang sounded sarcastic. "I thought you both had problems with your eyes today along with your brains!"

Hyson pursed his lips to hide his laughter that was threatening to burst out.

"Now I know why seemed a bit spoiled to me when we first met," commented Lin Zhen in a soft voice to Hyson. "With two pampering mothers, it'd be a surprise if you didn't become a little spoiled."

"I am a very good boy," argued Hyson. How did he seem spoiled? Was there anyone more innocent than him around here? No way! He'd never allow anyone to say he was spoiled. Even if he was spoiled.

But in all honesty, Hyson didn't think he acted spoiled at all. He had always been a very well-behaved person. But he might have a bit of arrogance in his bones because of these doting mothers around him. Besides, his best friend also doted on him. And his best friend is Raelle Xiang. Didn't this fact alone was enough for him to become arrogant?

"I apologize for this," said Grandfather Xiang to Lin Zhen. "But don't mind them and enjoy the meal."

Lin Zhen was actually in a good mood as he nodded, "Don't worry. I don't mind." He'd have never thought Hyson's family was just as easy-going as him. But then again, it also became clear where Hyson's personality was cultivated. With these people's presence, it was no wonder that Hyson turned out into such a unique person.

"Lin Zhen, right?" asked Mu Chenyan. "Next time, come over for lunch or dinner. Breakfast is too simple."

"This is quite sumptuous though," Lin Zhen meant his words as he gazed at the table full of food. He didn't know if it was just because of him or they usually ate like this but this breakfast was too grand.

In fact, the breakfast was grand because he was here. Otherwise, the Xiang family had no habits of wasting food. At most, one or two extra things would be prepared to cater to either Hyson's taste or Raelle's.

"No, it's too simple," argued Mu Chenyan. "I heard from our Fai that you live around here and that's perfect. You can come over for a meal whenever you want." She paused and asked, "You live alone, right?"

"Do you?" questioned Hyson.

"What's with that look on your face?" asked Lin Zhen as he furrowed his brows at Hyson's expressions.

"I always thought you're keeping a secret lover in your house," said Hyson.

Lin Zhen stared at him, "Seriously?"

Hyson shrugged, "You've been eager to get back home, lately. It can make anyone suspicious."

"Fai," called Mu Chenyan. "Don't be nosy."

"I wasn't," replied Hyson obediently and concentrated on eating.

"As I said, you live alone already. It's alright to come over whenever you want. We don't mind."

Yue Yue also nodded her head to agree with Mu Chenyan.

"See? Even Yue said yes. So, you should come more often. Actually, bring the other three in your group as well. I've always wanted to meet you all in person."

Yue Yue again nodded her head, 'Do bring them all.'

Mu Chenyan smiled at him and translated her hand signs for Lin Zhen, "Yue said you should bring them all."

Hyson silently shook his head at the eager expressions of his mother and Mu Chenyan. Both these ladies had always been pestering him to invite his group members over so they could meet in person. Now that he showed them, Lin Zhen, these two were definitely gonna drag the other three over.

He amusedly ate his congee and finished it all. It was one of his favorite things since it was made by Yanyan. And then even if he was full, he had to grab a bowl of the soup that his mother brewed personally.. He couldn't favor one and not the other.
