Master's Untamed Wife

Yue smacked Mu Chenyan's head, 'Why does your IQ drop at times like these? You aren't even like this in front of Raelle. And let's face it, standing before Raelle is more nerve-wracking!'

Mu Chenyan rubbed her head as she said, "What nerve-wracking? Yes, she gives off a very strong pressure but at the end of the day, my Elle is a cutie! And my IQ is not dropping at all." She refused to admit that her brain froze twice in the same day. Once when she faced Xiang Weimin and now that she faced Xiang Wai. She was so confused about what to even say.

As they walked back towards the kitchen, Mu Chenyan was in deep thought, "Why do I keep feeling like I forgot something?"

'What did you forget?'

Mu Chenyan looked at Yue for a minute longer and the realization hit her, "Shit!" she facepalmed herself. "I forgot about Brother Shing!"

Yue's face twitched at her words, 'How can you forget a person?'

Mu Chenyan shrugged, "Just like I did." But then she hurriedly found her phone and called Shui Koshing. As soon as the call connected, she started, "Why didn't you follow me? Didn't I tell you to follow me inside?"

Shui Koshing didn't know whether to laugh or cry right now because of this question. It took her hours to realize that he hadn't followed her inside? Just how high was she today?

"I was coming to discuss important things with Uncle Yu but since his grandson came to visit, I knew we won't be getting a chance to talk. So, I just came back."

Yue told her to convey her message to him and Mu Chenyan asked, "Yue is asking what about dinner? Raelle and Xian are out. So, you gonna eat alone?"

"I'm fine," said Shui Koshing.

Mu Chenyan frowned, "Just come over. Don't make me drag you over."

Shui Koshing knew from her tone that there was no room for argument there so he agreed to come over for dinner in a while. Anyway, it was better to have dinner there than at home when his son and daughter-in-law were out.

Meanwhile, when Zhai Yanjun brought Xiang Wai to the living room, he was shocked to see Xiang Weimin there. "Weimin Ge, what are you doing here?"

Xiang Weimin also looked at both of them and raised his brows in question, "You both came together?"

"No," Both Zhai Yanjun and Xiang Wai denied simultaneously.

"I've been here for hours," said Zhai Yanjun.

Grandfather Xiang was looking at Xiang Wai without blinking but he didn't dare approach her. He already knew that this granddaughter of his was a bit prickly. If she didn't approach you first, don't get close to her. She will prickle

Although he wasn't really afraid of being pricked, he also didn't want to push her. But that didn't mean he won't try to talk to her at all. Some things are better said than left unsaid. And that's something he learned from Raelle who hardly kept anything inside her. What she thought, she'd always say it out loud.

"Oh, our Wai has grown up to be quite handsome," Grandfather Xiang commented good-heartedly.

"And remarkably valiant as well," Zhai Yanjun chimed in from the side.

Grandfather Xiang looked at him and said, "You, boy, why didn't you come to say hello since you've been here for hours?"

Zhai Yanun ran to his side and said, "Granduncle, I'm very innocent here. Ayi said you have a guest but she forgot to mention who was the guest. Wait, it must be because she didn't know I'm acquainted with Weimin Ge, so she thought I shouldn't come over to disturb you guys."

Grandfather Xiang shook his head at him and asked, "What's with the apron?"

"Oh, this," Zhai Yanjun looked down at the apron and smiled sheepishly. "I've taken two gorgeous ladies as my master today."

Grandfather Xiang chuckled softly, "Then I wish you the best of luck. If you survived their training, you'll become the real warrior!"

"That's the goal, Granduncle!"

"That's very ambitious of you," commented Grandfather Xiang. "But I suggest you run back to the kitchen before you're set on fire on your first day of apprenticeship."

Remembring what Mu Chenyan had said earlier, he hurriedly made a run for it. He did not believe even for a second that Grandfather Xiang would be able to help him against Mu Chenyan if something went wrong.

Grandfather Xiang shook his head at his departing figure and looked at Xiang Wai who was still just standing there, "Wai, why don't you sit with your brother?" To make her feel more comfortable, he decided to just ask her to sit with Xiang Weimin.

"Okay," agreed Xiang Wai. But when she sat down with her brother, he pinched her thigh making her scowl. "What?" she whispered.

"Can't you greet him nicely?" asked Xiang Weimin in a low voice.

Xiang Wai looked awkward, "I don't know how to."

Was it her fault that she didn't know it? She just didn't! She couldn't even describe how she was feeling right now. Especially after seeing Mu Chenyan's reaction and facing that kind gaze from Grandfather Xiang, she was a bit uneasy. She wasn't used to such an affectionate gaze from an elder.

"Wai," Grandfather Xiang called out to her cautiously. "I apologize to you."

"Huh?" Xiang Wai was confused.

"For your suspension," he added to clarify to her. "I'm really sorry."

"I believe you weren't the one behind it," said Xiang Wai.

Grandfather Xiang nodded, "But I didn't stop it either."

"And if you're given another chance, would you?"

Grandfather Xiang shook his head decisively, "Even if it's done all over again, I still won't stop it."

"Why? To prove that you choose Raelle over me?" she asked.

"I'd never choose Raelle over you," he told her. "You both are my granddaughters. I can't possibly pick one and ignore the other. However, you also know you're in the wrong this time. And that's why I wouldn't have stopped it."

Xiang Wai snorted, "This obsession of standing with justice sure runs in our blood, eh?"

Grandfather Xiang smiled at her words, "It does run in our blood. Just as our stubbornness does."

Xiang Wai was left taking at herself. She felt like she was being called out as a stubborn person. But she couldn't confront him on that.. It wasn't wrong. She was indeed very stubborn!
