Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 498 – Goodbye

There was the sound of baggage wheels and lively chattering around. As always, the airport was bustling with people. Some were saying goodbye and some were there to say goodbye. 

Hyson was feeling distressed because of his dear mother who was hugging him tightly and silently sobbed. He didn't even know what to do with this woman. He was really not a kid and neither was he going to enter the battlefield. But he couldn't say that out to her either. So, he could only pat her back to soothe her.

In the end, it was Mu Chenyan who held Yue Yue's arm and pulled her away from Hyson saying, "Stop embarrassing yourself and him as well." Yue Yue glared at Mu Chenyan with her tear-filled eyes but the latter paid no heed to her. Instead, Mu Chenyan looked at Hyson and smiled, "Fai, give me a call when you get there. Take care of yourself. And pay attention to your surroundings."

"Yanyan, Ellie already made a whole team of bodyguards follow me," said Hyson bitterly. "Do I still have to pay attention to anything?"

Mu Chenyan nodded in response. Indeed, Raelle had sent bodyguards to follow Hyson. Even though Hyson refused to take any with him. Raelle would obviously not listen once she had made up her mind. And right now, she felt the need to send someone to be there for Hyson. 

However, Hyson believed that was too high profile and so not like his usual style. So, in the end, Raelle made those bodyguards follow him in secret. So, even now, even if those people were around even Hyson might not be able to identify or locate them.

"Still," said Mu Chenyan. "You should also learn to protect yourself."

"Okay," agreed Hyson. "I'm going in now. Both of you go back."

"We'll see you go in first," said Mu Chenyan and Yue Yue also nodded while wiping her tears. 

Hyson nodded and strode away. He took a few steps before turning back to look. He saw both ladies waving at him and smiled instinctively.

True to their words, once Hyson went in, Mu Chenyan hugged Yue Yue's shoulder and walked with her saying, "Alright now, stop sulking. He isn't 3. You didn't even cry when you sent him to Country G all alone."

Yue Yue stared at her and retorted, 'That was because I knew you'd be there to take care of him.'

Mu Chenyan pursed her lips before saying, "I know you're worried because of the last incident but we can't let that affect us. This is his life, let him live it."

Yue Yue could only silently sigh at that. It's not like she wanted to dictate her son's life. She already knew that without her saying it, her son usually would do things according to her liking. As if he didn't have his own personal preferences or dreams. But at the end of the day, she was still a mother. It was hard not to be worried about her only son especially with the accident he faced last time.

As they were leaving the airport, some kids were playing with the luggage trolley. One of them pushed the trolley too hard and it came in their direction. Mu Chenyan instantly felt the danger and pulled Yue Yue away with her. But while doing so, she accidentally ended up bumping into someone.

"Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't see you there," said Mu Chenyan and turned to Yue Yue. "Did you get hurt?"

Yue Yue shook her head.

Only then did Mu Chenyan look up to see whom she bumped into. Seeing the face of the person before her she stiffened momentarily. 

The person she bumped into was a teenager. About 18-19 of age. He was looking at Mu Chenyan intently as if trying to recall something. Meanwhile, Mu Chenyan came out of her daze. She was only momentarily stunned because the face of the young boy reminded her of someone. But she decided not to think more about it.

Just for the sake of being polite, she asked the boy, "Are you hurt?"

"No, I'm fine," he replied.

Mu Chenyan nodded and left with Yue Yue. But looking at her receding back, the young boy's eyes narrowed, "Where have I seen her before?" He scratched his head and decided not to think anymore about it.

When they got inside the car, Yue Yue stared at Mu Chenyan's face. She looked to be lost in thought and seeing her complicated mood, Yue Yue tapped her shoulder to get her attention.

Mu Chenyan's body jerked a little when Yue Yue tapped her shoulder, "What? What is it?"

'Are you okay?'

Mu Chenyan took a deep breath and nodded, "I'm fine."

'Are you sure? Where are you lost then?'

Mu Chenyan almost shrank back to hide her thoughts from her best friend. It wasn't that she had anything to hide from Yue Yue. It's just that she didn't want to talk about it with anyone either. Somethings forgotten were better. 

She closed her eyes briefly to gather herself, before she leaned towards Yue Yue and while tucking her hair behind her ear with an amorous look in her eyes, she said, "I'm lost in your eyes. Can't you tell?"

Yue Yue made a face as if she was about to vomit making Mu Chenyan chuckle softly. Yue Yue hit her arm, 'Can you stop doing this?'

Mu Chenyan clutched her chest, "Darling, you just broke my heart by questioning my feelings for you. How can I live with myself now?"

Yue Yue rolled her eyes at her, 'Dramatic.'

Mu Chenyan laughed out loud and patted Yue Yue's head as if she was petting a pet. "Just smile already."

Yue Yue couldn't help smiling when she heard that. As if she didn't know why Mu Chenyan liked to put on so many acts. Wasn't it all for the people around her? Either was amusing people or to make someone smile. And sometimes, it was to avoid certain things.

In fact, Yue Yue could tell that currently, Mu Chenyan was avoiding answering her but she didn't try to pry into it. If Mu Chenyan didn't bring it up, it didn't mean she didn't want to tell her.. It meant that she didn't think it was important enough to share.
