Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 1214  [Bonus chapter] Title

Xia Hao wasn't just shocked. He was more than just shocked right now. He was seeing his ascetic and unsmiling brother, in the arms of a woman. And he wasn't just smiling so gently, even the look in his eyes was so soft that Xia Hao wasn't able to believe that was his own elder brother.

Even though he wasn't that close to his brother, he still knew a little about his character and personality but right now, he had to say that his brother looked like a completely different person. How long hadn't seen his brother? It was at most a couple of months. It wasn't that long, right? What happened during this time to change his brother so much?

Then his eyes fell on Mu Chenyan and his eyes narrowed thoughtfully, it seemed, this was the change.

Suddenly Xia Zhao came to stand in front of Mu Chenyan, blocking his brother's eyes, as he asked, "What are you looking at her for?"

Xia Hao opened his mouth but didn't know what to say seeing his brother's protective stance. He had to say, he felt a bit jealous at the moment. As he said, he wasn't close to his brother. For no other reason, it was just that he grew close to his mother, and because of that, he was distant from his brother.

"Oh, it's nothing," replied Xia Hao. "I was just wondering how you're here. I mean, did you come to see Mom and Dad?"

"No," answered Xia Zhao. "Why would I be here to see them?"

"Didn't you get Dad's message?" asked Xia Hao tentatively.

"I usually ignore his messages," replied Xia Zhao very calmly.

Xia Hao laughed awkwardly. Of course, he knew that his brother ignored the messages from home. It was nothing new. But who could control him? He was already so old. And even when he was young, their parents couldn't control him.

But he still had a bit of wishful thinking that his brother might have come here for the family dinner. But it seemed he was really overthinking again.

"Then it's really a coincidence that we meet here," said Xia Hao. "Are you with someone?"

"I am."

"Won't you introduce us?"

"I don't think so," replied Xia Zhao.

Xia Hao was a bit disappointed when he heard that, "Oh... Then I'll leave." He wanted to enter but stopped and hesitated to speak for a moment before saying, "It's good to see you, brother. And you look very good when you smile."

Watching him go, Mu Chenyan patted Xia Zhao's shoulder, "What happened to Mr. Polite? When did you start treating people like that? And who was he?"

"My younger brother."

"He is your younger brother?" asked Mu Chenyan. "Then why did you speak to him so dryly? That's so not like you. Don't like him?"

"Why won't I like him?" asked Xia Zhao.

"How would I know? Only you can answer that question. Why don't you like him?"

"It's nothing like that," said Xia Zhao. "It's not that I don't like him but we aren't that close either."

"And why is that?"

"Why? Are you getting curious about me now?"

"Why? Can't I be curious about my boyfriend?"

Xia Zhao smiled, "What was that? Say it again?"

Mu Chenyan almost rolled her eyes at him but held back. Instead, she pinched his cheeks and said, "I said, I have the right to know everything about my boyfriend. Don't you think so, boyfriend?"

"Who am I?"

"My boyfriend."

"It sounds way too good. Can you say it again?"

"Boyfriend."

"Once more!"

"Are you looking for a fight now, Zhao?" asked Mu Chenyan in annoyance. "I'm not saying it again."

"Oh, come on! It's not every day I get to hear that. Can't you indulge me once?"

"I already did. You're just getting excessive just because I'm giving in."

"How can I be excessive? I have such a teeny-tiny wish."

"Okay. My boyfriend has lost his mind now."

"I'm more than happy to announce that I've lost my mind. But you gotta remember that title."

Mu Chenyan gave him a helpless look, "It's just a title. Boyfriend. What is wrong with you? Would you ascend to heaven if I called you husband one day?"

"Oh, wait! I think I'm already ascending."

Mu Chenyan punched his arm while he chuckled.

"Aren't you guys having fun, eh?"

Hearing that familiar voice, Mu Chenyan lost the playfulness and stood up straight to smile at her dearest Elle, "Baby, when did you come?"

"When you guys were flirting," answered Raelle with a blank look on her face.

"We weren't flirting," said Mu Chenyan.

"Oh? I'm not blind. And I'm not that oblivious to the thing called flirting too. After all, I'm master of that by now."

Shui Xian had to hold her hand to stop her from continuing.

"What are you both even doing at the door?" asked Raelle.

"We were waiting for you," replied Mu Chenyan.

"Really?"

"Really," answered Mu Chenyan.

"I don't believe you," said Raelle lightly.

"Elle, you don't trust my words?"

"I don't trust the words of people who are in love."

"You are in love too," reminded Mu Chenyan.

"And that's why I don't trust my own words these days. See? I planned to leave the office at 6 today but once Shui Xian came around, I couldn't keep my word. After all, once he came around, we got busy..."

Before she could continue Shui Xian pulled her away saying, "We'll see you guys inside. Enjoy!"

"Why did you pull me?" asked Raelle.

"No need to share everything, wifey."

"Oh." Although she wasn't very happy with not being able to share, she still gave in since Shui Xian said so. Anyway, she made her point clear. Didn't she? Once you are in love, your plans keep changing and you can't trust your own words. If it was before, she'd never waste her time playing around in her own office but would have left right on time as she had planned.
