Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 1034: [Bonus chapter] Fangirl

Huang Shuyi gave her a look. “I’m not done yet.”     

“No, I only need to hear this much.”     

“No, but I want to share the full story.”     

“Don’t wanna know!” she was insistent on not letting him continue. She knew he wasn’t gonna say anything nice so it was better to stop him while it sounded good.     

But of course, he wasn’t willing to give up either. “So, when I was slowly inching closer to the edge of the cliff and about to fall into the abyss of love, your voice pulled me back by saying, ‘If you’re looking for a place to sleep again, sleep somewhere else. Why are you here on the basketball court? To court death?'” He sighed as he recalled all that. “And that was enough to shatter my first love. I finally got back to my senses and almost despised myself for even thinking for a split second that you’re beautiful.”     

“I believe none of that,” she told him.     

“Who cares?” he shrugged and put on his shades as she pulled into the parking lot.      

They came into one of the best restaurants in the city. Xiang Wai had come here with her mother and brother before. She loved the food. And because it was quite expensive, she wanted to scrape off a layer of Huang Shuyi’s skin with this free meal.     𝒪𝑽𝓵xt.𝑪𝑜𝔪

It’s not like her intentions were actually hidden from him who literally grew up with her but it didn’t matter. He really didn’t care what she was up to. He didn’t lack this money. It’s not like they ate together all the time. It was already a miracle that she came to look for him and even agreed to go out for a meal too.     

“How’s your boyfie?”     

“What?” she gave him a disgusted look. “Talk properly or I’ll knock off your teeth.”     

“I have never seen you talk like this with Zhai Yanjun.”     

“He is my boyfriend. What’s your status?”     

“I’m your closest friend. You know the thing called best friend!”     

Xiang Wai didn’t argue with that and nodded her head as she said, “Indeed, you are my best friend. Kind of. And it’s because of this status that I can be so unrestrained with you.”     

“You’re always unrestrained,” he reminded her as they entered the restaurant. “I’ve never seen you insulting people as you do with me.”     

“I’ve told you before. You bring out the worst of me.”     

Huang Shuyi laughed at that, “Oh well, then I’m glad that I’m so special.”     

He walked over and inquired about a private room. As the best restaurant in the city, it was difficult to get even a table without a reservation but he was still willing to try his luck.     

The staff was just about to tell him that no private room was available when her eyes fell on Xiang Wai and she immediately changed her words, “Please, follow me.”     

That small movement didn’t escape Huang Shuyi’s eyes and when they were brought to the VIP private room which was even more difficult to reserve, Huang Shuyi frowned. Looking at how the usher was looking at Xiang Wai, he was certain that this treatment was for her.     

“How does it feel to be treated with so much respect after entering the Xiang family house?” asked Huang Shuyi after they sat down and ordered the meal.     

Xiang Wai was pouring the tea when she heard it and frowned in response, “What do you mean?”     

“Don’t tell me you didn’t see what just happened? They clearly had no private room but suddenly even a VIP private room is available. Even if I’m a celebrity, it’s my first time to enter this VIP private room. It’s that difficult to get it.”     

Xiang Wai smiled at that, “Then you bask in the glory of my Aunt like me.”         

“Huh?” he was confused.     

Xiang Wai put down the tea cup and looked at him, “This restaurant’s real boss is someone who calls my aunt his boss. Of course, since I’m her niece, they’d try to show some respect, no? Tsk. I feel like I won’t be getting a free meal from you.”     

“Why?”     

“Because they won’t be letting us pay,” she replied as she shrugged. After all, she had met her aunt here last time too and even the real boss of the restaurant. From how they revered her aunt Yan, she really wasn’t all that surprised that the staff not only recognized her but also treated her so politely.     

She was being treated as the real VIP today. Oh, it felt so good.     

“Your aunt is…” Huang Shuyi paused before saying, “Very nice.”     

Xiang Wai was stunned to hear that comment from him because she didn’t think he’d say that. She raised her brows at him as she asked, “Why do you say that?”     

“Whenever we went over, she always makes so much for us. She even took note of what each of likes to eat. She said we can go over any time. She also said to look for her if there is ever any trouble. Although none of us actually took that seriously, now I can see why she said it so confidently.”     

“You’re looking down on her if you think she can’t do something,” was Xiang Wai’s comment. “I’ll tell you…” And then Major Xiang Wai turned into a proper fangirl who started gushing about how cool and amazing her aunt was. She went on and on but Huang Shuyi also listened patiently. He was actually very interested in knowing more about Mu Chenyan but he had his own reasons for that interest.     

“Take a break and drink some tea to moisten up your mouth,” he offered her some tea when he saw how dry her mouth was now. Suddenly, his phone rang and he took it out to check the messages while Xiang Wai was drinking tea. But as her eyes zoomed in on that curve of his lips, she raised her brow in interest.     

“Shuyi, are you seeing someone?”
