Master's Untamed Wife

1211  Grand Entrance

Mu Chenyan gave them a baffled look, “Do you all think I’m that nosy? Or I’m that eager to find work for myself? Can’t I just ask how he is preparing everything? I didn’t say I’ll get involved in it.” She tsked to herself and got up to go outside to wait for everyone. But as she approached the door, she came face to face with, Zhai Kuijun. Her face scrunched up as she turned to look at Yue Yue, “What is he doing here?”

Yue Yue pursed her lips and gave her a sheepish smile, ‘He asked where I was so I just told him. I didn’t know he’d come here.’

Mu Chenyan laughed fakely in response and gave Zhai Kuijun a glare.

“Aren’t you tired of glaring at me at every turn?” asked Zhai Kuijun to her.

“I’m not tired. If I could, I’d have dug a hole in your body by now,” responded Mu Chenyan.

Zhai Kuijun shook his head at her but before he could say anything, he heard Xiang Hulin’s voice coming from behind, “Didn’t I tell you to not get in a confrontation with my sister?”

Zhai Kuijun looked at his old friend and said, “You think I want to? I really want to avoid her as much as possible but she is the one finding faults in me.”

“My Chenchen isn’t that unreasonable,” spoke the very ‘blind’ brother who doted on his sister without a bottom line and never thought there was anything wrong with his own sister. If there was anyone at fault it had to be others. His sister can’t possibly be wrong. “If she is finding faults, there must be faults to be found, no?”

“Hulin, it doesn’t suit you,” said Zhai Kuijun. “Don’t be so blind now.”

“You mind your own business and stop being an eyesore to my sister.”

“It’s not possible,” replied Zhai Kuijun. “I’ll only be not an eyesore to her if I stop pursuing her best friend which is impossible. So, I’ll just deal with being an eyesore to her.”

“Why do you both have so much to say?” asked Mu Chenyan. “Ge, I thought you weren’t coming.”

Xiang Hulin touched her head as he said, “Didn’t you tell me to try my best to come over? How can I disappoint my sister?”

Mu Chenyan smiled at his answer and said, “I’m gonna go out and wait for Elder Xiang. You keep an eye on this friend of yours.”

Xiang Hulin smiled, “Okay.”

Mu Chenyan walked out and coincidentally, Grandfather Xiang was already here with Shui Koshing. “Why are you only here now?”

“Aren’t we on time?” asked Shui Koshing as he looked at his wristwatch. “Yeah. We are on time. What are you so impatient for?”

“Why is everyone after me? Why can’t I be impatient?”

“Okay, okay,” said Grandfather Xiang. “No one is impatient. Koshing, you go inside. We’ll be there soon.”

“Okay, Uncle!” agreed Shui Koshing and walked in.

Grandfather Xiang gave Mu Chenyan a look and asked, “Who is it? Who played tricks on our Chenyan and made her lose her temper? Tell me about it and I’ll make sure that person regrets it.”

Mu Chenyan snorted at his words, “You’ve been so kind for years. I don’t think you’ll do anything wrong to get bad karma at this stage. So, you leave all the bad things to me. I don’t mind bad karma at all. And I can definitely make that person regret her own existence.”

Grandfather Xiang frowned slightly when he heard that. It seemed someone really made Mu Chenyan angry today. That’s odd. Who could make her this angry?

“Did you run into your aunt?” he asked.

“What? No,” answered Mu Chenyan.

“Then who else can make you this angry? I can’t think of anyone else.”

“Forget it. You don’t have to know.”

Grandfather Xiang gave her a look, “Now, you’re gonna hide things from me?”

“You should know that I often selectively hide things from you so as not to dirty your ears. I only tell you good things or mildly bad things. Because I know you have been so benevolent in these years all because you want to accumulate merits for your wife. So, let’s stay that way.” She took a pause and added, “That just reminded me, just a day after Justin’s birthday is also godmother’s birthday.”

Grandfather Xiang’s eyes softened, “I noticed that detail too.”

“I meant to ask what to do. We always went to her grave on her birthday. We are going this year too. Right?”

“We are,” answered Grandfather Xiang without any hesitation. “Don’t you already know that?”

“No… It’s just that the situation is a bit different this year,” said Mu Chenyan. “We aren’t alone.”

“If you’re wondering whether your brother will join us or not, then the answer is let him do so,” answered Grandfather Xiang. “Even if I stop him every year, doesn’t he still go there? This time, we’ll just let him enter the ancestral hall too.” 𝚘𝑽𝗅xt.𝗰𝑶𝐌

Mu Chenyan heaved a sigh of relief, “Then what about Weimin, Wai, and Raelle? Don’t you think we should bring them too?”

“Okay. The whole family will go. Is that okay? Are you happy now?”

Mu Chenyan nodded her head, “Why wouldn’t I be happy? I think godmother will be happier to see all her grandkids. Oh, and even her great-grandkid.”

“I think more than that, she’d be more excited to see you bringing a partner with you,” said Grandfather Xiang.

Mu Chenyan’s smiled froze and she feigned a cough saying, “What are you doing talking about all this here? Let’s go inside. Right. We should go inside. Everyone is waiting for you. You’re the elder of the family. How can you be the last to come?”

“I’m pretty sure I’m not the last one to come,” argued Grandfather Xiang.

“But you’re not the first one to come either.”

“As the elder of the family, shouldn’t I make a grand entrance as the last person though.”

“Where did you learn that?”

“From you.”

“Elder Xiang, you can’t always put the blame on my head.”
