Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 852 So Kind

　　The next morning, Mu Chenyan prepared the porridge for Grandfather Xiang and brought it to him. She found her brother already standing before Grandfather Xiang. Looking at his posture, she frowned but walked past him and placed the porridge on the table.

　　"Ge, are you getting lectured? Tsk, tsk. How old are you?"

　　Xiang Hulin stood straight without a change in his expression. He could see the gloating on his sister's face but so what? He was long used to it. No matter how much Mu Chenyan loved her brother, she always enjoyed it whenever he got lectured by his parents. After all, most of the time only she was being lectured while he was praised as the sensible one. 

　　"Elder Xiang, what happened?" asked Mu Chenyan.

　　"Nothing," replied Grandfather Xiang. "He came to tell me that he has to leave to get some work done. I'm not lecturing him. Don't feel so happy."

　　"Oh," she didn't feel embarrassed at being found. She then looked at her brother, "Ge, you're leaving?"

　　"Just for a few days," answered Xiang Hulin. "I'll be back after dealing with some things."

　　"Then you go and get it done," replied Mu Chenyan. "But don't leave before breakfast."

　　"Got it."

　　When Xiang Hulin walked out of the room, Grandfather Xiang spoke up, "What happened?"

　　"Huh?"

　　"Why do you look a little lost?" asked Grandfather Xiang.

　　Mu Chenyan shook her head, "I'm not. I'm absolutely fine." She took a pause before saying, "I met Song Xin'ai yesterday." Grandfather Xiang didn't speak as he picked up the spoon to eat the porridge. Seeing that he didn't seem to mind, she continued, "She went to see Raelle as well. If you want, I can make sure she doesn't..."

　　"There is no need," said Grandfather Xiang. "Since Raelle didn't say anything, you don't have to take any actions."

　　Mu Chenyan nodded her head, "I'm gonna go out as well. I have something to do."

　　"Chenyan," Grandfather Xiang looked at her. "You really don't have to inform me or take my permission before doing anything. Even if I say you're reckless, I know you know your limits. You should make your own decisions."

　　"How is that possible? You're still my elder," said Mu Chenyan. "No matter what changes, I still have to let you know what I'm up to."

　　Grandfather Xiang shook his head at her.

　　"Elder Xiang, you say do you mind if I look for a life partner for my Ge?"

　　Grandfather Xiang's hand paused and he stared at her, "Who caught your eye?" Even before she could answer, his eyes widened, "Su Feifei?"

　　"How do you know?" asked Mu Chenyan.

　　"Because you met her yesterday," replied Grandfather Xiang. Sighing, he added, "Anyway, you can do whatever you want. I didn't even have anything to say when he married Song Xin'ai. Why do you think I'll have opinions now? I only have opinions about you! Stop thinking about others and think about what you're up to?"

　　Mu Chenyan scratched her ear. She was tired of hearing this. Why couldn't he just say anything else? Why did every discussion end up on her? 

　　"Oh, I haven't seen Fai since yesterday," stated Mu Chenyan. "I'm gonna go and look for him." With that, she slipped away before she could get another earful. She patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief when she went out. She wasn't entirely using Hyson as an excuse, she indeed hadn't seen him since yesterday.

　　She stopped a maid and asked, "Where is Fai?"

　　"Young Master hasn't come out of his room yet," replied the maid. "He came back at around midnight and looked really tired. So, he must be sleeping."

　　"He came back at midnight?" asked Mu Chenyan strangely. She even felt weird about it after all Hyson wasn't in the habit of staying out late.

　　"Yes, he reeked of alcohol as well," added the maid.

　　"Alcohol?" Mu Chenyan's eyes widened. When did her cute little baby grow up enough to have drinking nights out? That was so not like him. "Okay, you can leave."

　　In a daze, she went to the living room and sat down. Thinking of something, she pulled out the exhibition passes she received yesterday from Song Xin'ai with a thoughtful look.

　　"Good morning, Yanyan!"

　　Mu Chenyan snapped out of her daze when she heard that and before she could reply, someone, hugged her and rubbed his furry head against her arm. Mu Chenyan's face brightened up as she ruffled his hair saying, "Slept enough, my little Fai?"

　　"How long can I sleep?" he replied. 

　　"I heard you drank last night?" asked Mu Chenyan. "Little Fai, is everything alright? Is something bothering you? You can tell Yanyan and Yanyan will solve everything for you."

　　Hyson's lips curled up, "Was sewing a broken heart."

　　"Who dares to break your heart?"

　　Hyson chuckled at her reaction, "You know I'm kidding and you still fall for it?"

　　"How can I take it?" she retorted. "Even the idea of someone hurting my godson is unacceptable. I'm just that unreasonable!"

　　"You say I'm adorable," he said and pinched her cheeks. "I think my godmother is even more adorable than me."

　　Mu Chenyan wasn't pleased to hear that and said, "Next time, don't even joke with your godmother like this. I really feel like spilling blood."

　　"Actually, I wasn't really kidding but it's not my heart that's broken," stated Hyson. "It's my manager. She was in a bad mood so I accompanied her. I didn't drink. I mean I only ordered lemonade. But I did sit for hours with my manager watching her drink so much." 

　　Mu Chenyan narrowed her eyes at him, "And when did you become so kind?"

　　"I was always kind," he replied.

　　"Fool someone who doesn't know you," said Mu Chenyan. "You don't have that much patience for people that you don't consider yours. You haven't gotten this manager for that long. I don't think the feelings are that close. So, I wonder what made you sit with her for hours?"
