Master's Untamed Wife

"You told me that your current mission is in a highly sensitive period," stated Xiang Weimin ignoring her silence. "So, I'm surprised that you found the time to come and see me."

Xiang Wai had yet to tell her brother that she had been suspended from her duty. And also, that the mission she had been working on for almost a year now had been taken from her. She honestly had no idea why she suddenly had to face disciplinary actions like this. She had been a carefree person most of her life and she'd usually not pay attention to such things.

Even this time around, she didn't really care that she offended someone and brought these consequences to herself. But what bothered her was that it won't be her who would be taking down that drug syndicate that was trying to create a hole in their country. 

"Just be glad that I am here," she retorted. "Why ask so many questions?"

Xiang Weimin narrowed his eyes at her, "Did something happen?"

"No," she answered not feeling any burden while lying straight to his face. "I just got a short vacation. So, I might be going to Nanzhou city in a couple of days to see dad."

"Really?" asked Xiang Weimin in surprise.

"Yeah. Just don't tell him that I'll be coming."

"Why not?"

"Because then he'd be waiting for me! What if I suddenly changed my mind? Wouldn't he be disappointed?"

Xiang Weimin pressed his lips together and nodded at her. "Alright. I won't tell him. You can give him a surprise. He'll be happy to see you."

"Ge..." she suddenly called out to him and when he faced her, she didn't speak further.

He continued to wait patiently for her to go on but she just couldn't open her mouth in front of him. "What is it?"

"Forget it!" she said and got in her car to leave. "If I have time, I'll come to see you. But don't count on that."

"I never counted on you," replied Xiang Weimin. 

"You just made me sound like the bad guy here."

"You are the bad guy here," said Xiang Weimin.

Xiang Wai raked her fingers through her short hair in a handsome gesture as she said, "Well, you wouldn't find any other handsome bad guy like me." Suddenly remembering something, she got out of the car and saluted him, "I'll take my leave now, Lieutenant Colonel Xiang!"

"Get lost already!"

She laughed out at his reaction before really leaving. While he stood there watching his car driving out, Zhai Kuijun came to stand beside him.

"Is something wrong?" 

"I don't know, Uncle," he answered. "She isn't willing to say it."

"Then let her be," suggested Zhai Kuijun. "She had always been a strong-minded person. Even if something bothered her, she'd take care of it herself before telling anyone about it."

"That's true," agreed Xiang Weimin. "I'm just always worried about her. I feel like if she didn't change her attitude..." he didn't continue his sentence since he didn't really know how to put his thoughts into words right now. This sister of his really made him feel tired worrying about her all the time.

"Still, isn't it still better now?" asked Zhai Kuijun. "Once upon a time, your father was worried sick because of her terrible anger management."

"She just had too much rage filled within her," said Xiang Weimin. "Although joining the army didn't tone down her anger, it actually helped in making her know how to make the best use of that rage."

Since the doctor suggested Xiang Weimin try walking with the help of crutches every day, he decided to avail himself this time to take a walk in the garden with Zhai Kuijun to digest food as well. They took a short ten-minute walk before going back inside.

They sat down in the living room as Zhai Kuijun suggested having some tea which would help them in sleeping better. Suddenly, they heard the sound of Zhai Yanjun's voice along with some unfamiliar voices coming from the door.

"I won't ask you to stay for long," Zhai Yanjun was saying. "It's just having some tea. How long do you think it'll take?"

"Opa said it's not nice to go to other people's house unannounced," was Hyson's reply who was still reluctant to come inside. "Also, at this time when people need to rest. Your grandparents are old, it's not good to bother them like this." Although what he said was true, he was actually using Grandfather Xiang's words as an excuse right now. Simply because he didn't wish to go to anyone's house. He never liked visiting other people's houses unless that house belonged to Raelle. This clearly didn't!

"My grandparents don't go to sleep so early," stated Zhai Yanjun. "Stop making excuses already. Just come inside." He held his wrist and dragged him inside while giving the pair of husband and wife at the side a look. "And you two as well. What are you waiting for? Do I have to drag you in as well?"

"That won't be necessary," said Shui Xian as he hugged his wife to his side. He definitely won't let Zhai Yanjun drag her. Not just because she didn't like others touching her but also because he didn't want anyone to touch her. He looked at Raelle and said, "Let's just give him some face."

"If you say so," replied Raelle and entered the house. 

Just when they reached the living room, Zhai Yanjun was surprised to see the two people present there. "Dad? Weimin Ge?"

Hearing that name, Raelle's head unconsciously turned in Xiang Weimin's direction. And when the latter looked at her, he paused as his eyes got stuck on her face refusing to move away. Even Hyson's eyes were on Xiang Weimin along with Shui Xian.. Xiang Weimin wasn't even bothered by the three pair of eyes looking at him as his own attention was solely on Raelle.
