Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 1069: Let Me See Her

Shui Xian thought he’d be finally seeing his wife. But as soon as Hyson stepped in his way, Shui Xian realized how wishful his thinking actually was.         

    

If it was anyone else, it’d have been possible to get past but Hyson? Shui Xian could only sigh.     

“Fai, you’re here,” said Shui Xian trying to keep up a pleasant smile on his face. He had to maintain this smile right now, no matter how impatient he was, he couldn’t offend this little prince.     

“Xian Ge, you sent your private plane for me,” reminded Hyson. “How could I not be here?”     

Shui Xian continued to smile, “Well, how can I let you miss out on such an important day? It’s impossible to have this engagement party without you. You’re more important than the rings for the ceremony.”     

Hyson chuckled at that, “Xian Ge, you don’t have to do this. I’m in no need for buttering today.”     

Shui Xian cleared his throat and stared at him, “Raelle is inside?”     

“Yes,” answered Hyson as he looked at the open door behind him. The door was open but one couldn’t see what or who was inside because a screen was placed in the way.      

“Then can I go in?” Asked Shui Xian as he blinked his eyes at Hyson.     

“Not so easy,” said Hyson. “With me around, you can’t go in that easily.”     

Shui Xian could only take in a deep breath. He had expected this from the moment he saw Hyson standing at the door.      

“Why are you all doing this to me today? I just want to see my wife,” Shui Xian was really having it rough today. This was supposed to be a happy day but why had he been unhappy since morning? Nothing was going his way. Was it really so difficult to expect a sweet time with his beautiful wife on THEIR engagement day?      

Hyson pursed his lips seeing this and then he burst out laughing. When he heard that Shui Xian had been waiting for Raelle all day, he thought he’d mess around with this brother-in-law, but who knew this brother-in-law was already suffering enough on this day? Hyson didn’t know why but suddenly felt bad for Shui Xian.      

“Xian Ge, you’re really having it rough, eh?”     

“You think so?” Retorted Shui Xian.     

Hyson was still thinking when Cui Xukun and Zhai Yanjun appeared behind Shui Xian along with Cloe. But unlike the boys, Cloe was able to walk right past Hyson and entered the room where Raelle was.     

“This…” Shui Xian looked at this and felt like his breath was stuck in his chest or something. He couldn’t take this discrimination anymore! This was too much! Too much!     

“Fai, just let Xian go in before he loses his mind,” said Zhai Yanjun in support of Shui Xian. He didn’t want to help but thinking about Shui Xian helped him a lot, and he still spoke up.     

“Xian Ge seems to be on the verge of a mental breakdown,” commented Hyson as he noticed Shui Xian’s condition. “But Ge, why are you taking it so hard? It’s been just a few hours.”     𝔬𝗏𝓛xt.𝗇𝓔t

“Not just a few hours,” insisted Shui Xian. “Why don’t you guys understand that I want to see her right now! I want Raelle to be with me on this day. She just has to stay in front of my eyes.”     

“You should let him go inside.”     

All of them turned to look at who said it. When Hyson’s eyes fell on that figure, his eyes lit up.     

“Ghost!”     

“You know if you’re looking for a nickname for me. This young master would prefer being called the Tree god!”     

Hyson chuckled as he looked into those green eyes.      

Dropping that topic, Ru said, “Let Master Xian go inside. Keep his wife in front of his eyes as he said so.”         

    

“How can it be so easy?” asked Hyson. “He still hasn’t passed my test.” Hyson took out his phone and passed it to Shui Xian. “Considering that I’ve always liked you. And also that you even sent your private plane just to get me. I’ll go easy on you. Solve this puzzle and you can go inside.”     

Shui Xian didn’t take the phone as his eyes were still on Ru’s figure. Ru on the other hand took the phone from Hyson and solved the puzzle before giving it back to Hyson. “It’s done. Let him in now.”     

Hyson looked at the solved puzzle without saying anything. This puzzle was made by Raelle. Although Hyson knew it wasn’t exceptionally difficult, it was only in Raelle’s words. For the rest of them, it was certainly a difficult one. Even he’d have to spend a lot of time on it.     

“Can I go in now?” asked Shui Xian.     

“But Xian Ge, you didn’t solve it,” said Hyson.     

“You didn’t say he couldn’t take help,” said Ru. “Master Xian, you can go inside. If he goes back on his words, I’ll hold him back. This young master doesn’t mind lending you a helping hand.”     

“Young Master Ru,” called out Shui Xian. “Thank you!”     

Ru shrugged carelessly as he watched Shui Xian go inside.     

Hyson turned to Ru, “What are you doing here? And why did you help him?”     

“I think you’re smart enough to see that something is wrong with your brother-in-law,” said Ru. “If you kept him out for any longer, he’d really start having a panic attack. Didn’t you notice how his eyes moved when he couldn’t see his wife? He is panicking. You should give him a break, kid.”     

  With those words, Ru fixed the cuffs of his shirt and turned to leave.      

Hyson waited for a second before he ran after him.      

“You didn’t tell me why you’re here,” said Hyson.     

“This young master is invited to the engagement,” answered Ru casually. “Besides, this is my uncle’s hotel. I can walk in whenever I want.”     

“Do you know Xian Ge?” asked Hyson suspiciously.     

“You can say that,” replied Ru.      

Hyson had a thoughtful look on his face as he asked, “Can we sit down and talk? I have important things to ask.”     

Ru stopped walking and turned to look at him, “You want to know why Master Xian was having it so rough? It’s simple. Do you think the miscarriage of your best friend only affected her? No. It scared him even more. Not knowing where his wife is or not seeing her for longer periods of time makes him insecure and scared. That’s exactly why his reaction today was so exaggerating.”     

Hyson was silent when he heard that.      

He didn’t think it so much. But now that it was pointed out, he understood why Shui Xian insisted on being around Raelle since that accident. He didn’t expect that it left a huge shadow on Shui Xian’s mind.     

“No one even noticed,” commented Hyson softly.     

“That’s because he didn’t show it,” said Ru. “He kept it all in. It’s no surprise that no one noticed. Even his wife didn’t notice it all. But it’s a proven fact that a miscarriage affects both parents.” He turned to leave but stopped to add, “Lose that frown. Today is an important day for them. Let them be happy. We shouldn’t talk about unhappy things.”     

“That’s true. I shouldn’t worry. As long as Xian Ge is with Ellie, he’ll be fine.” Hyson took a deep breath and asked, “By the way, this hotel is really your uncle’s?”     

“It is,” answered Ru.      

“Xia Zhao is your uncle?” asked Hyson. He just learned from Raelle that the hotel belonged to Xia Zhao. And she only knew because of the people Xia Zhao had appointed to serve Raelle well. Otherwise, none of them even knew he had a connection with this place. Who would have thought?         

    

Mu Chenyan always tried to run away from that man but still ended up arranging the engagement banquet at his hotel. What a twist of fate!     

Hyson would definitely call it fate.     

“Yeah,” answered Ru. “That one. He is indeed my uncle. The youngest of his generation.” He paused before adding, “No, he seems to have a younger brother too but I don’t call him uncle. So, for this young master, Xia Zhao is indeed the youngest uncle of the family.”     

“That means we are going to be related in the future,” added Hyson with a smirk.      

“For now, you can dream,” said Ru. “We have no idea how long it will take for this older generation to realize their feelings. Is it that difficult to just accept their feelings?”     

“Hmm… They really wasted a lot of their time,” agreed Hyson. “But do you really think it’s not difficult to accept one’s feelings?”     

“It’s your feelings, of course, you’d know what’s going on. The ones who claim not to know are just running from their feelings. Being scared and all.”     

“Have you ever been in love? How do you know how it feels?”     

“That’s a personal question,” answered Ru. “And the answer is, it’s complicated.”
