Master's Untamed Wife

"Let's stop now," said Mu Chenyan to Shui Koshing when they didn't manage to reach a decision even after an hour. "We should just go over and ask for Yue or Elder Xian's opinion."

Shui Koshing thought about it and nodded his head in agreement. That seemed to be the right thing to do. If they continued, they might argue till the next morning. "Let's do that."

Mu Chenyan was stretching her body when Shui Koshing frowned at her, "What are you doing?"

"Preparing to climb over the wall," she replied as she shrugged nonchalantly.

Shui Koshing looked at the tall wall before them and then looked at her, "You can climb over it?"

"Yeah," was her response.

"Don't break your old bones," he said.

Mu Chenyan gave him a look, "You don't have to be concerned about it."

Shui Koshing took a deep breath and asked, "If you climb over the wall, what about me?"

"Bro, just do the same," she told him.

"I have no death wish," was his answer.

Mu Chenyan looked at the height of the wall and gave him a disdainful glance, "Bro, you okay? No one can die from this height. At most, you'll break a couple of bones. No big deal."

"My old bones are very precious to me," he retorted. "Let's walk around like civil people."

"If you can't climb it, that's your problem," she said. "Why should I waste my half an hour going around to get to the house when I can get there within minutes."

Shui Koshing held her wrist and dragged her along, "If I'm walking, so are you!"

"What are you, a kid? Why do you need a company?" 

"Keep your sarcasm to yourself," he said.

"I really wonder how did Qian Yin like someone soft like you?"

Shui Koshing glared at her, "Because not all women share your taste in men. Or they'd single for life like you!"

"Hey! That's a personal attack!" 

"So what?"

They had already walked out of the main gate and reached the road while they continued to bicker. Even reaching the grand iron gates of Xiang Villa, they were still bickering over how Shui Koshing was acting like an old grandpa. It was funny how they could just take a car but since they were just going next door, they didn't bother. Even though this next door was considered quite a distance because of the area both mansions covered.

Outside the iron gates was parked a car and Xiang Weimin was leaning against the car hesitating for a while now. He was still chatting with Xiang Wai telling her how he was really nervous and really couldn't bring himself to go inside. That's when he heard the voices around him and looked up. As his eyes fell on Mu Chenyan, he stopped.

"I am not an old grandpa! I'm just not as reckless as you are. I still wish to live a few more years," Shui Koshing was saying.

"Oh? Why? Eager to play with your grandchildren?" 

"No! I'd love to spend a few more years with my daughter-in-law!" was Shui Koshing's response. He eyed Mu Chenyan, "Don't tell me you're eager to become a grandma."

"What? I never even pictured my Elle's baby. How would that look like?"

"Definitely as gorgeous as my daughter-in-law!" Shui Koshing shot back immediately. He was truly a Raelle fanatic at this point. 

"I actually wish her baby turns out to be like her," said Mu Chenyan. "You wouldn't wanna deal with a Raelle Xiang replica. It's not as pleasant as it seems." She loved her Elle but she knew how frustrating it was to see a kid act like an adult. She couldn't even get the joy of raising a cute and adorable baby. "I hope that baby is like Xian instead."

"What? Do you even know what kind of a devil he was when he was young?"

"A naughty devil is better than a somber angel!" was Mu Chenyan's response.

"Who is that?" Shui Koshing's gaze fell on Xiang Weimin and he voiced out his question.

Mu Chenyan also lifted her eyes and looked at Xiang Weimin. When her eyes settled on his face, she was stunned and forgot to react. Her eyes popped out in disbelief as she continued to stare at Xiang Weimin without even blinking. Xiang Weimin found her gaze quite unnerving. 

Did he mention that he wasn't even scared of his father as much he had once been afraid of this fun and trouble-loving aunt of his? He was quite naughty when he was young but usually, Mu Chenyan would take his side. However, if he did something that touched her bottom line, all hell would break loose.

Xiang Weimin felt like the long-forgotten childhood was now standing before him. "Hi, Auntie Chen!"

Mu Chenyan was pulled out of her reverie because of his voice and looked at Shui Koshing, "Am I dreaming right now or he is really standing here right now?"

Shui Koshing rolled his eyes at her, "He is here. Do you want me to pinch you?"

"Try it?" threatened Mu Chenyan and Shui Koshing held back. Even if he was older than her, he wouldn't want to fight with this woman who liked using her hands more than her mouth.

Mu Chenyan took a step closer to Xiang Weimin and raised her hand but hesitated a little. Xiang Weimin didn't move an inch as he silently took in all her movements. She slowly poked his cheek and a big smile bloomed on her face, "Oh my! You're really here."

She still felt like she was dreaming. She did not think she'd be seeing him here. But he was here. No matter how surprised she was, it didn't change her excitement. It only increased it by hundred fold or so. She was over the moon and wanted to hug him but she held herself back.

They hadn't met in years, it was not okay to just pounce at him. What if she scared him away? No, that can't be done! Since he was here, she had to make sure he wasn't able to leave! Like, ever!

That sounded quite like a sinister plot but she didn't give a damn about it for now.
