Master's Untamed Wife

Hyson came back home in the evening. Originally he was planning to go straight back home from the hospital but who knew he won't be able to do so. He received a call from his vocal instructor and he had to make a detour.

So, when he got back home, he was really tired. He hadn't been out for so long since the time he got into the accident. Suddenly, running here and there left him drained out.

When he came back, he was told that his mother was in the kitchen. When he went there, he saw her kneading the dough. Walking up to her side, he hugged her and kissed her temple, "Mum, I'm home."

Yue Yue scrunched up her face at the way he greeted her. He was really a kid around his mother.

Since her hands were busy kneading the dough, she couldn't speak to him with sign language. So, she mouthed, "Where have you been?"

Hyson could actually read her lips perfectly well. When he was a baby, even before he learned to speak, he learned to understand his own mother. She couldn't teach him how to speak with her own voice and that's why it took a while for Hyson to even learn how to speak. If it wasn't for the kind neighbors they had in the village, Yue Yue was afraid that something would have gone wrong with her son's development because of her own shortcoming.

However, he turned out to be just fine. He was smart so he learned to read lips quite early. In fact, he learned sign language later. Usually, he'd communicate with his mother using sign language because she was resistant to the idea of mouthing words all the time. Perhaps, it hurt her even more that, when she opened her mouth to speak, no word came out.

Hyson read her lips easily and smiled at her, "I met Zhai Yanjun."

Yue Yue was stunned to hear that answer from him. So, she mouthed her second question, "Where did you meet him?"

"At the hospital," answered Hyson honestly.

Yue Yue stopped what she was doing and turned around to look at him with a worried look in her eyes, "Hospital? Why was he in a hospital? Did something happen?"

Hyson shook his head at her, "Mum, don't be so obvious. I might get jealous, you know." Yue Yue narrowed her eyes at him and he continued, "Fine, he was there to meet someone. Nothing happened to him. You can put your worry to rest."

Yue Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that went back to focus on the dough.

Hyson noticed her actions and said, "He seems to be really interested in your past."

Yue Yue stiffened at his words. She knew her son very well. He'd hardly hide anything from her. Unless it involved something that was related to his own worries, he'd share everything with her. Even the smallest of details.

"But I warned him not to be so curious," added Hyson. "Now, don't get angry with me. I'm only trying to help you. I know you don't want to share your past with anyone. Now, I don't know if he is also part of that 'anyone' or not. But if he is not, then the one to tell him the truth should be you."

Yue Yue didn't know what to say to this son of hers. He was really heartless sometimes. No wonder he was best friends with Raelle. They both didn't care about the feelings of others when they spoke the truth. What he said was not wrong at all but it still made her feel a slight ache in her heart.

Hyson noticed her expression and smiled to himself, "Seems like you're ready to share your secrets with him." Yue Yue was startled by his words. He really read through her thoughts. "Anyway, it's not my concern at all. I was just giving you a heads-up. I already knew you'd like to tell him your secrets yourself. Now, that you know what he wants to know, just prepare yourself."

In fact, he was right. Yue Yue would not hide anything from Zhai Yanjun. If he wanted to know everything then she'd tell him. That's how important he was to her. Zhai Yanjun was like her own son. She never even wanted to hide anything from Hyson then how could she hide it from Zhai Yanjun? She held that boy in her arms and loved him so much.

Even though she didn't get to be there in his growth, he was still that boy whom she dearly loved. Perhaps, the separation had only made her feel more profound.

And Hyson was all too well familiar with his mother so it wasn't difficult for him to understand what his mother's decision would be. That's why he had suggested Zhai Yanjun ask Yue Yue if he really wanted to know something.

Yue Yue looked at her son helplessly, "Why are you like this?"

Hyson shrugged his shoulders as he said, "I also wonder why I am so great?"

Yue Yue elbowed him for talking nonsense but he didn't even evade it. He didn't mind a little bit of beating.

He pressed on her shoulders with his arms and added, "Now, stop worrying about me. I really won't fight with your favorite Zhai Yanjun. I know I've lost my position in your heart but mum, you'd always be the number one for me."

Yue Yue rolled her eyes at his dramatic act.

Hyson laughed at her reaction and turned serious as he added, "Okay, in all seriousness, I really won't fight with him. You can be at ease. No matter how he is involved in your past, if he didn't do anything to hurt you, I won't hurt him either."

Yue Yue smiled at him lovingly and mouthed, "My good boy!"

"That I sure am," he said smugly making Yue Yue laugh silently at her cheeky son.
