Master's Untamed Wife

'Even if it hurts, you should go through it? What kind of twisted logic is that?' wondered Raelle but she didn't say it out loud.

"Opa, how about you give me some time?" Raelle laid out her condition. "We just came to Country H about two months ago. I'm still very unfamiliar with things here. And yet, I've already gone to 4 blind dates here." She spoke with a determined tone, "I have to settle a lot of things here. Although you started everything from this country, it's been decades since you stepped foot here. It's not easy for me to suddenly settle down here leaving everything behind. You need to give me some space to get familiar with this place and the people here."

Grandfather Xiang thought about what she said and nodded, "Go back to your room. It's late."

"So, no more blind dates, right?"

"No more blind dates," he answered.

Raelle hugged him and gave him a kiss before turning to leave but stopped to say, "Opa, isn't there a proverb around here, 'One smile undoes 1000 worries.' So, stop frowning and give me a smile."

Grandfather Xiang smiled at her softly and she happily made her way upstairs towards her room. Xiang Tianyu watched her retreating back and his smile vanished.

"She won't say it but she is indeed not fine with moving here all of a sudden."

Mu Chenyan pushed his wheelchair towards his room as she said, "Young Miss had lived a very organized life. It's difficult for her mentally to suddenly change the routines of her life. But you don't need to worry, she'll manage."

Grandfather Xiang didn't say anything to agree or contradict. His worry wasn't that she won't be able to get used to life here. His worry was that she would never learn that life wasn't all about work, money, and profits. She just turned 24 and yet had no idea what real happiness felt like.

Raelle Xiang was very young when she started displaying her strange behavior. Even though she was exceptionally smart, that was what brought her grandfather a lot of worries. Because she acted more like a robot with a monotonous life than a human. She had a set routine of studying, eating, and there was no time for things like playing. And if anyone tried to interfere in that routine, she'd be irritated. Everything needed to be precise for her.

He took her to plenty of renowned doctors but it didn't really help. Her symptoms were said to be similar to patients of Alexithymia because she had difficulty with understanding emotions or explaining them. Even if she fell down, she won't be able to define the feeling of pain. It actually didn't mean she couldn't feel it, it just meant she didn't know how to express that feeling.

She had graduated high school at the age of 13 and graduated from Business School at the age of 16. Because of this, she had never been able to make friends. No psychiatrist had been able to help her. And she didn't really take those psychiatrists seriously either. There was only one thing she took seriously; work!

According to her matter of profits that she could calculate were a lot easier than a matter of human emotions that she neither could see nor could calculate. So, that's why she invested her all in her grandfather's business.

She not only made him take the backbench, she even managed to take the 'Wanda Enterprises' to a pinnacle it could never reach before. When she said she wanted to focus on the Asian Market, he didn't hesitate to take advantage of this and brought her back to his home country.

But coming here was also in naught. All she thought about day after day was how to earn money and more money and some more money!

"Did the Zhang family know that their son had a girlfriend?" Grandfather Xiang questioned as he settled on his bed.

"It seems so," replied Mu Chenyan. "Although they had been against their relationship, their son had still been seeing that woman behind their backs."

Grandfather Xiang scoffed, "They dared to send their son on this blind date knowing that their son already has a girlfriend? What do they think of my granddaughter?"

Mu Chenyan helped him with the duvet as she informed, "Elder Xiang doesn't have to worry though. They insulted our Young Miss, naturally, I'll make them pay the price for that." Her lips curled up slightly as she continued, "I'll make sure to bring them on their knees before our Young Miss."

Grandfather Xiang nodded his head in agreement, "Yes! They should know what are the consequences of messing with Raelle Xiang are. If our family's little one forgives them, let them be. But if she doesn't, make sure I don't hear the name of this Zhang family again."

"I'll do it accordingly," said Mu Chenyan before bowing respectfully and leaving his room. After thinking for a moment, she came to Raelle room and knocked.

Soon, the door was opened from inside and she looked at the girl who seemed to have just come out of a shower. "Hey, Yanyan! Come inside!" Saying that Raelle stepped away and let her come inside. "What brings you here at this hour?"

"Why didn't you do anything?" questioned Mu Chenyan. Raelle looked at her inquisitively through the mirror. Mu Chenyan stepped up to help her dry her hair as she asked, "That woman said so much and you stayed quiet."

Raelle could feel her displeasure and found it interesting, "I don't like wasting my words on unnecessary people."

"Elle!"

"Yes?"

"Didn't you feel anything?"

Raelle shrugged her shoulders, "I really didn't. I just found them quite boring. I didn't think it was interesting enough to make a move myself." Then she smiled at Mu Chenyan and added, "And I know, my Yanyan is enough to deal with such people."

Mu Chenyan touched her head lovingly as she said, "Elle, at least learn to get angry for yourself."

"Anger brings the destruction of the mind," replied Raelle calmly. "I'd like to keep my distance from such things."

Mu Chenyan sighed, "No wonder your grandfather is so worried about you." She took a brief pause and spoke, "Your grandfather wants to see you lead a normal person like other girls your age. So, even though he said 'no more blind dates', he won't give up."

Raelle smiled widely, "I know."
