Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 1046: Little Munchkin

This time around, Raelle simply took out the one photo she got of Chi Xirui and showed it to Xiang Weimin as she asked, “See this girl?” Xiang Weimin took the photo and looked at the girl standing at the far right in a white coat. “Do you know her? She was one of the volunteer doctors in that place?”         

    

Xiang Weimin stared at the photo for a minute in silence but when he broke the silence, he looked away saying, “No. I don’t.”     

Raelle just looked at his face without saying anything but that one intense look of hers was too heavy. Xiang Weimin avoided her eyes and coughed awkwardly.     

“If you don’t wanna say it, don’t say it,” said Raelle. “I won’t force you. Why resort to lying?”     

Xiang Weimin sighed to himself and faced Raelle, “Why are you looking for her?”     

“That’s my business,” replied Raelle. “Oh, if I might add, her name is Chi Xirui. Clearly, you said you don’t know anyone of that name the last time we spoke about it.”     

Xiang Weimin frowned, “Her name is Chi Xirui?”     

“You don’t even know the name?” asked Raelle. “Now, I’m seriously wondering if you knew her at all.”     

“I also thought I knew her, but clearly, I was wrong,” responded Xiang Weimin.      

“I won’t ask you what relationship you had with her,” started Raelle. “But you can tell me what name she told you, right?”     

Xiang Weimin took a moment before telling her, “She said her name was Genevieve D’Amico.” He looked at Raelle and added, “But when I looked through the volunteering team participants, her name wasn’t there. So, she definitely lied about that.”     

“Or maybe she didn’t,” said Raelle. She thought back to how Tang Hebe told her that Chi Xirui first introduced herself as Jenny to her. And Genevieve’s nickname is often Jenny. “I think you’re the only one who got the real name, brother.”     

Xiang Weimin froze.     

Not because of whatever she said. It was only for that one last ‘brother’. Yup. That made him freeze and lose his composure so easily.     

“Thanks for the help.”     

Xiang Weimin dumbly shook his head, “It’s alright.”     

“Justin is here to see you,” told Raelle. “He is in the living room.”     

“Really?” Xiang Weimin’s expression changed and he smiled at her. “I’ll see him.”     

“Why does he look so happy?” questioned Raelle to no one in particular as she watched Xiang Weimin running off to see Justin.     

On the other side, in the living room, Justin was obediently sitting down and munched on the salty pastry in his hand. His small hands held the pastry and the tiny teeth were nibbling on the tasty snack.      

“Wai, I told you to go and see the designer,” came Mu Chenyan’s voice. “You need to try on the gowns and see which one you like.”     

“Aunt, I forgot,” replied Xiang Wai as she lowered her head.     𝔬𝗏𝐿xt.𝐜𝓞𝐦

“It’s all that Yanjun’s fault,” said Mu Chenyan.     

Xiang Wai gaped at her aunt, “How is it his fault now?”     

“He is your boyfriend. Isn’t he always on your mind?” asked Mu Chenyan seriously.     

“He is,” replied Xiang Wai with a sweet smile, looking like a young girl in love.         

    

Mu Chenyan rolled her eyes at that expression as she went on, “Have you ever forgotten him for a moment?”     

“How is that possible?”      

“Exactly, my point! Since he is taking so much space in your mind, how will you remember anything else?” retorted Mu Chenyan leaving Xiang Wai with no response. She did feel something was wrong with this logic but the way her aunt spoke really made her doubt it.     

Maybe her aunt was right.     

“I’ll go over today,” said Xiang Wai as she followed Mu Chenyan to the living room.     

“I don’t believe people in love,” replied Mu Chenyan.     

Xiang Wai shut up when she heard that.     

Mu Chenyan dropped down on the couch and sighed heavily. She was tired after running around so much. “Go and ask someone when is lunch being served. I’m hungry. I have an appointment with the event planner after that.”     

“Again?”     

“Yes,” replied Mu Chenyan. She suddenly looked up and her eyes met with that pair of blank eyes staring back at her. Mu Chenyan was stunned and blinked. Then she rubbed her eyes and pointed at that small figure who was frozen with the pastry in his mouth right now. He looked like a little munchkin. So adorable. “Wai, do you see that doll over there or I’m tripping?”     

Xiang Wai looked up and found Justin. She was slightly surprised but she didn’t think much about it as she replied to her aunt. “There is no doll there, aunt.”     

“What?” Mu Chenyan rubbed her eyes again and saw that little doll blinking back at her. “Am I so tired? How is that possible?” She shook her head, “Am I so old now that I’m hallucinating? No way!”     

Xiang Wai almost rolled her eyes at her aunt as she said, “There isn’t a doll. But there is a small human there.”     

Mu Chenyan looked up at Xiang Wai who went over to Justin’s side and waved at him, “Hi, little buddy! Do you remember me?”     

Justin nodded his head, “I remember.”     

Xiang Wai smiled in response, “I remember you too. How come you’re here? Did you come alone?”     

“Pretty sister brought me over,” answered Justin.     

“Oh, Raelle did?” Xiang Wai raised her brow in surprise.     

Mu Chenyan also stood up and walked over there. She looked at Justin deeply and just kept looking and looking in silence.     

“Aunt, stop staring. That’s rude. You’re gonna make our little guest uncomfortable with your staring.”     

Mu Chenyan snapped out of it and stared at Xiang Wai, “I was just about to catch on why he looked familiar.” She took a moment and then crouched down before Justin as she looked at Justin again. “Wai, who is he?”     

“Why don’t you ask him?” suggested Xiang Wai.     

Mu Chenyan then asked Justin, “How about an introduction? I’m Mu Chenyan. And you are?”     

“Justin,” replied the little guy with his spirited eyes looking back at her curiously.
