Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 1019: Influenced By Her

From the moment Zhai Kuijun came to know about his relationship with Hyson, the way he looked at Yue Yue also changed. The change was very subtle. There was more guilt in his eyes when he looked at her. And he was coming over to see her way too many times these days as well. It really made one wonder what his intentions were.

‘Aren’t you busy?’ asked Yue Yue to him through typing.     

Zhai Kuijun shook his head, “No, why are you asking?”     

Yue Yue shrugged her shoulders, ‘You’re here every day. I just think it’s weird.’     

“You don’t like seeing me here?” he asked with a pitiful look on his face.     

Yue Yue was taken aback by that question and shook her head, ‘No, no. That’s not what I meant. Not at all. You’re thinking too much.’ She genuinely didn’t mean that. Why wouldn’t she be happy seeing him? It’s just that lately he’d been following her around which really put her on edge. She had never gotten this kind of exceptional attention from him and it made her a bit jittery at times because she wasn’t used to it at all.     

Seeing her walking into the kitchen, he asked, “What are you making today?”     

‘Cream puffs.’     

“Oh, I love cream puffs.”     

Yue Yue smiled at him, ‘Fai loves cream puffs. But since he isn’t around, I’ll send these to Yanjun.’     

“What about me?” asked Zhai Kuijun. Was he invisible? He was happy to know that his younger son’s taste was similar to his own but that did not mean he wasn’t upset that she thought of Hyson first. One son was thousands of miles away and the other was in closed training and yet, she was thinking about those two while he stood right there and just told her that he loves cream puffs.     

He suddenly felt upset. There was a time when she’d always bring whatever she learned to cook to him first. He always had the first right to taste everything. But now, things have changed he realized. He was no longer the first.     

Not just one but both of his sons overtook him.     

Since she was working, he didn’t disturb her and just sat there to watch her intently. It couldn’t be helped, he wanted to talk to her but then she’ll have to leave her work aside to type the answer to him which will waste her time. It was better to let her be for now.     

Zhai Kuijun was lost in his own thoughts as he watched her work. He knew there were three top-class chefs hired by the Xiang family but still, you’d mostly find Mu Chenyan or Yue Yue in the kitchen. By now, even he understood that they loved to feed people. It just brought them the happiness that others couldn’t understand at all.     

Only after she had placed the cream puffs into the oven did he say, “You don’t have to work so hard for Yanjun. He is being fed well there.”     

Yue Yue gave him a displeased look, ‘What’s wrong with it? He is in the same city, I can do this much for him. It’s not like I send him things every day. It’s only a couple of times a week.’     

“You send him stuff a couple of times a week?” Zhai Kuijun was shocked to hear that. He did not know this and neither did his son mentioned this to him. “You’re spoiling him too much. Ask his girlfriend to do this stuff. You shouldn’t be doing it.”     

‘I wanna do it. So what?’     

Seeing this stance of hers, Zhai Kuijun deflated and had nothing to say. “Whatever you want.”     

Yue Yue seemed satisfied to hear that response. She was about to start making the whipping cream for the cream puffs when she paused and looked at him to ask, ‘You also know that Yanjun and Wai are dating?’     

Zhai Kuijun nodded, “Of course, I know.”     

She nodded her head in response and went back to work.     

“What about Fai? Does he have someone?”     

Yue Yue laughed silently at that to the point of tears. ‘It’d be a miracle of a sort if he even figured out what it was like to love someone. Do you think he and Raelle are such best buds for no reason? The similarities between them are plenty. Even if you hear Fai talking about love, he’d sound like an expert but trust me, he has never even be attracted to someone in his life. Not even once. He’s like a block of wood!’     

“It can’t be that bad.”         

    

‘It is.’     

“Are you worried about that?”     

She shook her head, ‘I don’t care. He can do whatever he wants. He has lived his life according to my wishes for way too long. I never asked him to follow my dreams but he did. So, I don’t want to impose anything on him anymore. I only once mentioned how great it’d be to see him being a star chased by a sea of fans and before I knew it, he debuted in an idol group. I’m even scared of saying things casually in front of him because I know to make me happy, he’d go and just do it.’ She silently sighed to herself as she thought about her son’s nature. ‘I know if I once mentioned about him dating, he might really go and find himself a partner. But I don’t want that. I want him to follow his heart for once. I don’t wanna be the reason behind all his choices in life.’     

Zhai Kuijun only realized now what kind of a person Hyson was. No wonder Zhai Yanjun said that to Hyson, Yue Yue was everything. So, it was really Yue Yue who had the final decision in Hyson’s life. He’d easily get influenced by her choices.     

This was okay but the thought that this nature of his was groomed all because of how tough his childhood had been really felt like someone stabbed him in his heart. He couldn’t even imagine what they must have gone through at that time to become so dependable on each other.
