Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 1160: [Bonus chapter] My Territory

Raelle stood in front of the penthouse and rang the bell. Only after a minute, the door opened and Xia Zhao stood in front of her.         

    

“Hello, Uncle Zhao!”     

Xia Zhao smiled gently at her and moved aside, “Come inside.”     

“Thank you!” said Raelle and entered the penthouse.      

“I went to look for you last night but Yanzi didn’t let me knock on your door,” told Xia Zhao.     

Raelle touched her nose and answered, “Sorry about that. I was the one who troubled you and I didn’t keep my word.”     

“It’s okay,” responded Xia Zhao. “I can wait. There is no need to feel like you bothered me.”     

“Elle!”     

Raelle looked up at Mu Chenyan who suddenly tensed up a bit.     𝒩𝒐𝑽𝓁xt.𝑐𝒐𝗆

“Yanyan, morning!”     

“Morning!” responded Mu Chenyan. “Did you have breakfast? Do you want to eat something?”     

“No, I had breakfast with everyone,” answered Raelle. “You don’t need to pay so much attention to me. I don’t forget to eat. You trained me well in that department.”     

Mu Chenyan relaxed a little when she heard that.     

“Just relax, Yanyan,” said Raelle. “Why are you so nervous in front of me? Did you do something wrong?”     

“Huh?” Mu Chenyan was stumped and unconsciously looked at Xia Zhao.     

“Even if you did something wrong, I’d still be with you.”     

Mu Chenyan smiled at that, “Even if it goes against your rules?”     

“I can bend a little for you,” replied Raelle. “I don’t mind at all.”     

Mu Chenyan walked over and hugged her, “Aiyo! My Elle is so sweet. Why are you so sweet?”     

“Maybe because I have you in my life to add sweetness.”     

Mu Chenyan gasped, “That son-in-law of mine is really working hard to teach you sweet talking. No wonder he is my favorite son-in-law. But don’t let him know. What if he got inflated from praises?”     

“Don’t worry. My husband is very down to earth.”     

“You stay here and talk to Zhao. I’ll go,” said Mu Chenyan.     

“There is no need to,” said Raelle. “There is nothing that you can’t listen to.”     

Mu Chenyan gave Xia Zhao a smug look, “See? I told you my Elle doesn’t keep secrets from me and yet you refused to tell me anything.”     

Xia Zhao looked helpless but he still said, “I just said that Raelle didn’t tell me that I was allowed to speak about this to anyone. Why else would I keep it from you? Do I dare to hide anything from you?” He gestured toward the living room and said, “Let’s sit down and talk. There is no need to stand here.”         

    

“Yes, yes,” said Mu Chenyan and pulled Raelle to sit down with her on the sofa generously. Then she turned to Xia Zhao and said naturally, “What are you standing there for? Huh? Go and get something to drink for my Elle!”     

“Yes, boss!” said Xia Zhao, and immediately went to get something for Raelle.     

Raelle noticed this silently before saying, “You are already ordering him around?”     

“When did I stop?” asked Mu Chenyan. “I have been ordering him all my life. Am I not supposed to?”     

“Isn’t it strange though, my dear Yanyan? You never even questioned why you’re allowed to order him around. Why did you take it so naturally?”     

Mu Chenyan was stumped.     

“I never thought my Yanyan could be stumped by something like this,” said Raelle. “I always thought you were very smart.”     

“Not more than you,” said Mu Chenyan. “I could never be smarter than you and that’s for sure.”     

“But I always thought in the feelings department, you’re better than me. Now, it seems the reason why I stayed so slow was because even my Yanyan didn’t know anything about feelings.”     

Mu Chenyan rubbed her nose, “Did I fail?”     

“Not at all,” replied Raelle. “You can never fail.”     

Mu Chenyan smiled at her, knowing very well that she’d never be wrong in front of Raelle. Her Raelle just thought of her as the best and she knew it. No matter how rational she was, Raelle still had a thick filter on her eyes when she faced Mu Chenyan. But that couldn’t be helped either.     

Xia Zhao brought a glass of fresh fruit juice for Raelle.     

“You don’t have to do this, Uncle Zhao,” said Raelle. “I really just had breakfast.”     

“That’s why I only brought you some juice. If I didn’t know you had breakfast, I’d have brought you some home-made snacks too.”     

“You even keep snacks here?” asked Raelle. “I don’t think you live here?”     

“I made those in the morning,” answered Xia Zhao.     

“For Yanyan?”     

Xia Zhao didn’t answer but didn’t deny it either.     

“Don’t think so much about it,” said Mu Chenyan to chance the topic. “You don’t have to worry about bothering him. This is also my territory and that means, you can do whatever you want. Isn’t that right, Zhao?”     

Xia Zhao’s smile deepened and he nodded his head, “Indeed. This is your territory. I’m your property. I’m at your service, Yanzi!”     

“That’s more like it.”     

Raelle looked at their interaction and understood once again why Shui Xian was able to see their feelings so clearly even when these two hadn’t recognized their own feelings. They are really meant for each other. One is willing to order and the other is willing to listen. She never thought Xia Zhao would be this kind of a person but thinking again, it didn’t seem all that wrong either.     

From her observation, she had come to a conclusion.      

Their Xiang family’s people always found whipped partners. Whether it was she or Wai and now even Mu Chenyan.         

    

Raelle slowly drank the juice since she didn’t want to waste Xia Zhao’s efforts either. How could she? Since he made it specifically for her, then she had to give him enough face and drink all of it.     

“Elle, what are you looking at?” asked Mu Chenyan when she noticed the way Raelle was looking at the two of them. It made her a bit self conscience. After all, she was all too familiar with Raelle’s piercing eyes that could see the unseen! Okay, it wasn’t that magical but still, Raelle definitely saw more than most people did.     

At least, she didn’t think she observed things as closely as Raelle did.
