Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 1064: Same Camp

Shui Xian and Cui Xukun turned around to look at Shui Koshing who was giving them a displeased look.      

“Are you two little kids? What’s the fuss all about?”     

Both of them stood at attention before him like two obedient little kids. Of course, it was just a pretense. Both of them were nothing even close to being obedient. Shui Koshing glared at the two of them as his lecture continued.     

“Do you even realize where you are or what day it is?” asked Shui Koshing. “Is this the time to behave like naughty children?”     

“Bà, he started it,” said Shui Xian as he pointed at Cui Xukun without any hesitation.      

Cui Xukun wasn’t even surprised at being pointed at like this. He turned to Shui Koshing, “Uncle, you can’t be biased here just because he is your son. I’m telling you, I didn’t do anything. I even came early to give him support. And see, how he is behaving.”     

“Both of you can drop it,” said Shui Koshing. “It’s not like I don’t know you two,” he added. “You’re adults now. But nothing changed. You’re still the same two people whom I caught climbing over the wall of the school.”     

Shui Xian and Cui Xukun looked around to see if anyone was around or if anyone heard this dark history of theirs. They were truly unlucky to run into Shui Koshing back then. Right when they climbed over the wall, they landed right in front of Shui Koshing who was coming to meet Shui Xian’s teacher at school.      

Needless to say, it didn’t end well.     

“Xian, stop always dumping everything on Xukun. You’re my son. Don’t always assume, I’m blind. And you, Xukun, if you’re here to support your friend, stop ticking him off with your words. He is already cranky.”     

“I can tell,” said Cui Xukun. “I just didn’t think in just 6 hours, he lost his mind.”     

Shui Koshing snickered, “6 hours? He lost it in 5 minutes! I had to bear with him for the rest of the 5 hours and 55 minutes!” He looked at Shui Xian, “You let Raelle come, I’m gonna tell her what have you been up to today. I’ll also tell her how you almost ate my brain in these hours without you. When did you become so dramatic?”     

“I married a girl from the Xiang family. There are two dramatic people in that family. One is Mu Chenyan and the other is Yue Fai. I had to learn from them to blend in easily.”     

Shui Koshing rolled his eyes at his son. He did not think he’d see such a day.      

“Does it work?” asked Cui Xukun curiously. “To impress Ms. Mu Chenyan?”     

“Heh! As if I’ll tell you my secret,” said Shui Xian haughtily.     

“Hey! You can help a friend in need sometimes.” Cui Xukun tugged at his arm. “I’ll lend you, my stylist.”     

“You know a stylist? What for? Aren’t you a lawyer?”     

Cui Xukun shrugged, “Why does that matter?”     

Shui Koshing smacked their heads and walked away saying, “Congratulations. You found a common point to bond over now. Don’t make me hear you quibbling again. It’s a happy day. Don’t make me beat you two.”     

Shui Xian and Cui Xukun looked at Shui Koshing’s back before turning to look at each other.     

“Bà, where are you going?” called out Shui Xian.     

“My stylist is here,” replied Shui Koshing.     

Cui Xukun pfft-ed while Shui Xian was left gaping at his father’s back.      

“Xian, you’re so behind,” commented Cui Xukun as he laughed happily. “Even Uncle has a stylist. What are you dawdling for? Come with me! We need to make you stand out. What if you looked like a guest at your own engagement party?”         

“That isn’t possible,” said Shui Xian. “My face value is very high. It’s enough to cover up the minor flaws of my styling. My wife likes my face.”     𝑂𝔳𝑙xt.𝑐𝗈𝑚

“She’ll like you more if you put in some more effort,” was Cui Xukun’s argument.     

“You just want to know how I made my way into Mu Chenyan’s heart.”     

“I don’t think you’re just there yet,” responded Cui Xukun. “But you’re doing better than me.”     

“And me,” came another voice from behind. Both of them saw Zhai Yanjun walking over. He looked at Shui Xian and said, “At this point, I should wonder, which son-in-law has it better?”     

“You don’t have to. Xian has the advantage of coming first,” said Cui Xukun. “It’s so hateful.”     

Shui Xian laughed smugly at these two miserable souls. Oh, how it felt good to laugh at others’ misery. He only understood it today.      

“You’re latecomers,” commented Shui Xian. “How is it my fault? In matters of heart, you shouldn’t wait for so long. There is no need in beating around the bush. Just go for it. If you’re a step behind, someone else will take advantage of your hesitation.”     

“Mr. Love Guru, shut up!” said Cui Xukun and Zhai Yanjun simultaneously.     

They were both pissed off at Shui Xian right now. They were in the same camp right now while Shui Xian was in the opposite camp. After all, they both had a long way to go before getting the approval of Mu Chenyan and it was impossible to get their girls completely before getting that approval.     

Zhai Yanjun had it better than Cui Xukun though since Zhai Yanjun had the backing of Yue Yue. Mu Chenyan won’t go hard on him. At least, she couldn’t show her hostility blatantly to him because of Yue Yue’s presence. But Cui Xukun had no backing at all. So, he had to suffer under Mu Chenyan’s intimidation every time she even looked at him.     

It was so scary.      

This showed how important it was to have a strong backing in this world. Yes. It was very important. And the only one he could look for was Shui Xian right now. Cloe made it clear to him that Mu Chenyan was family and she respected that woman a lot. So, her approval was very necessary. How else would he even propose?     

“You both seem to have a long way to go,” commented Shui Xian. “I should stay away from you two lonely souls. You don’t understand the feeling of having a wife. A legally wedded wife!”     

Shoving it in their faces childishly, he walked away with a swagger.
