Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 1103: The Devil You Know

Zhai Yanjun suddenly held Xiang Wai’s hand and looked into her eyes with love overflowing from his eyes. “Wai, should we also get married?”         

    

Xiang Wai coughed when she heard that as she was caught off-guard and then her eyes narrowed as she asked, “What do you mean? You don’t think it’s that easy to marry me right? How long has it been since we are even dating and you’re already thinking about marriage?”     

“We have a whole life ahead of us to date for as long as you want,” said Zhai Yanjun seriously.     

“That won’t do. How is that fun? Marriage is a grave of love,” was Xiang Wai’s answer. “Let me experience love first.”     

Zhai Yanjun looked at her helplessly and pointed at Raelle and Shui Xian, “Does that look like a grave of love to you?”     

Xiang Wai pursed her lips and didn’t respond.     

“I see them still planning their dates and doing everything like they are dating for the first time. But once you meet them at home, they look like an old couple who had been married for decades. I personally think it’s not a bad idea to marry early.”     𝗈𝓋𝓛xt.𝑐𝑶𝐦

In fact, between the two of them, the one who really wanted to get married had always been Xiang Wai and not Zhai Yanjun. He just recently realized that there were different kinds of married couples in the world and not everyone was like his own parents.     

He slowly coaxed her, “Just think about it, we can daily role-play as if we are not married and go to a new and exciting place for a date.”     

“As if we have that much free time once I get back to work,” Xiang Wai sounded bitter and once again felt that the decision she made for her future seemed to be the right one.      

“But we can still find time for each other,” said Zhai Yanjun.     

Xiang Wai raised her hand to stop him, “Before I say anything, don’t you think this is the worst way to ask me this question? How can you even propose to me this blandly again?”     

Zhai Yanjun raised his hands in defense, “I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I lost track of my thoughts because of the atmosphere. Don’t take it seriously. How can I wrong you again? Don’t worry. Don’t worry at all. I’ll propose you properly.” He took a pause and added, “And getting engaged first is also fine with me. We can take the steps to marriage slowly.”     

“Why do I think you’re more eager than usual?” she asked.     

Zhai Yanjun looked around at the men who had their eyes on his girlfriend and cursed mentally. How could he not be in a hurry? Did he want to lose her again before he could be in a hurry? In the military, Xiang Wai’s charm didn’t work since those straight steel men actually treated her like a brother since Xiang Wai had a heroic image.      

But today, she not only wore a gorgeous gown, she also danced with him. And he always knew that she looked the most beautiful when she danced. It was like her wings would come out of hiding once she put on her dancing shoes and then she could fly like a fairy. She’d become soft and gentle instantly. Only a blind person won’t notice her when she was so dazzling.     

So, he had to be in a hurry to tie her with himself before any unexpected situation or person came up to ruin it all for him.     

Xiang Wai placed her hand on his chest as she looked into his eyes teasingly and he smiled helplessly, “How can I not be eager? I don’t wanna lose you again.”     

“Tsk,” Xiang Wai tsked at him and smiled cheekily, “You have gotten good with words.”     

“I have to or else, there’d be only silence between us. And let’s accept it, we are both fools who can’t read silence.”     

Xiang Wai chuckled at that and nodded her head, “I agree. But if you want me, work harder, Captain! I won’t be that easy to get anymore. After all…” She looked around saying, “I have a lot of options now.”     

Zhai Yanjun knew she was doing it purposely but it still worked as he held her chin and made her look at him, “Isn’t this option still the best? Rather than choosing a product that seems good, you should choose the one you’re familiar with. You know, as they say, better the devil you know than the devil you don’t know.”     

Xiang Wai bit her lip to stop herself from laughing out loud and said, “Is that so? But I think once in a while, we should step out of our comfort zone and try to get familiar with the unknown devil. Who knows it might be destiny.”     

Zhai Yanjun pinched her waist making her jump and slap his arm in dissatisfaction.     

“This is why I should look for a new devil.”     

He hugged her waist and pulled her closer saying, “What a shame! You’re stuck here with me. Even the second time around.”         

    

“It’s not too late.”     

“It is very late,” was what he said and kissed her lips to stop her from saying any more nonsense that he didn’t want to hear at all.     

Xiang Wai pretended to struggle but then gave up with a smile on her lips as she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him even closer to deepen the kiss. How could she be willing to take any chances? It took her years to get this block of wood.     

No matter how good the devils out there were, they couldn’t be any better than the one she fell in love with for a long time. So, she had to hold this one tighter. Just as Hyson advised her before that she had to make this one dance on her fingers to feel better for all the suffering he brought to her.     

Of course, she couldn’t bring herself to make him dance on her fingers but that didn’t stop her from occasionally messing around with him. Since she just realized how fun it was.
