Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 1097: [Bonus chapter] Age Of Cuteness

“I know,” said Zhai Kuijun. “I told you, I just wanted to meet you. I’m not trying to claim my position as a father in your life.”     

“That’s good,” said Hyson. “Then we’re all good.”     

“We are?” asked Zhai Kuijun in surprise.     

Hyson pointed towards the stage and said, “Do you see my best friend?”     

“I do,” replied Zhai Kuijun as he followed the lead and looked at the gorgeous woman standing on the stage beside Shui Xian. She looked dazzling as always. How could anyone not see her? Even in a crowd, she was eye-catching. Much less now that she was the protagonist tonight. Who would dare to overlook her? Was it even possible?     

“She also has a father,” added Hyson making Zhai Kuijun frown slightly. “You’d know that. You’re quite close to her father.”     

“I am close to her father,” accepted Zhai Kuijun. “What are you trying to say?” He added.     

“Then you must know what kind of a relationship she shared with her father.”     

“Yes,” replied Zhai Kuijun. “They seem to be familiar strangers.” He took a pause and looked at Hyson, “You want us to be like that?”     

“Not really,” said Hyson. “I think we can do better. For now, we are familiar strangers. As for the future. That depends on your relationship with my mum. If you do end up together, I think I can be your stepson at that time.”     

Zhai Kuijun’s eyes brightened up when he heard it. He didn’t even mind the word stepson as it sounded way too good to him right now. It’d actually allow him to rightfully make Hyson his son. Even if he would be a son with a different surname. He didn’t give a damn about that at all.     

“Really?” he asked again to reconfirm that he wasn’t hallucinating right now.     

“Don’t get too excited,” said Hyson. “I still don’t need a father. But with time, I think we can be friends.”     𝗈𝓋𝓛xt.𝑐𝑶𝐦

“I don’t mind,” said Zhai Kuijun.     

“Tsk. How are you so easily satisfied?”     

“I don’t know. I just feel happy that you’re willing to give me a chance to enter your life. It doesn’t matter how or in what name.”     

“You’d eventually enter my life if you manage to enter my mum’s life.”     

“That’s different. I understand that you won’t deny me once Yue’er gets involved. But it won’t be from your heart. So, your words right now are too important to me.”     

Hyson avoided his emotional eyes and looked away. He couldn’t take it for a moment. So, to change the direction of their conversation, he pointed towards the dance floor and said, “Look, your son is attracting bees while he is dancing with the butterfly of his life.”     

Zhai Kuijun also found Zhai Yanjun on the dance floor with Xiang Wai. Both of them looked perfect together. So much so that even Zhai Kuijun couldn’t look away from them for a moment.     

“You should take this chance and get them to tie the knot. Don’t delay. They both have a habit of creating misunderstandings on their own.”     

Zhai Kuijun looked back at Hyson, “Yanjun was right.”     

“About what?”     

“You seem indifferent but you really care about him.”     

Hyson looked a little unnatural for a moment before he accepted it graciously. “Don’t tell him but I quite like this brother. From the moment we met, although we bickered I liked him. It was only when I learned that he is your son that I started keeping my distance from him and annoyed him even more than before. But it won’t change the fact that I like him.” He lowered his voice and added, “Also, I’m a kind-hearted person. Someone like him who has a hole in his brain needs help from a smart person like me. So, I kindly extended my hand to help him a little.”         

Zhai Kuijun laughed out loud.     

“What’s so funny?” asked Hyson unhappily.     

“Nothing. It’s just that Yanjun already told me all that. He said you’d say this about him. I didn’t even realize that you two are so close.”     

“Who is close to him?” Hyson refused to accept it. “Who can get close to a fool like him? Won’t my intelligence get lowered by associating with him?”     

“You’re so cute,” said Zhai Kuijun.     

“I know,” responded Hyson instinctively before he shook his head. “No. I mean how can you call me cute at this age? I’m long past the age of cuteness. Don’t get it wrong or this pact between us is over. I won’t be your stepson either.”     

“Okay, okay. I won’t say it again,” Zhai Kuijun acquiesced quite easily and Hyson was finally satisfied.     

While Hyson was fooling Zhai Kuijun, a sharp gaze fell on him. It was none other than Raelle who had already caught sight of Hyson from the moment he was staring at her. And when she noticed Zhai Kuijun beside him, she paid a little more attention.     

“He really wrapped his father around his little finger way too easily,” commented Raelle.     

“Hm?” Shui Xian looked at Raelle. “Who are you talking about, wifey?”     

“There is only best friend of mine who is way too good at duping,” said Raelle.     

Shui Xian chuckled at that, “How can you say that about our Fai? He is such a sweetheart.”     

“See? He duped you too,” was Raelle’s response.     

Shui Xian shook his head and said, “No, he didn’t. He is a very sincere person. He is cheerful and bright. Who won’t like him? But you’re right. He can really make people like him way too easily. So, I am not surprised that he’d be able to play around with Uncle Kuijun.”     

“Well, he’ll be entertained,” responded Raelle. “Now that Yanjun’s time is spent with Wai. Hyson had to find another person to annoy. And at this time, Mr. Zhai Kuijun just happened to be there. But I wonder what he said to make my prickly best friend actually let down his guard so easily.”
