Master's Untamed Wife

"How about we all have lunch together?" suggested Mu Chenyan.

"Yanyan, why does everything that comes out of your mouth starts with food and ends with Raelle?" asked Shui Xian curiously.

"My family's dear son-in-law, is your skin itching today?"

Shui Xian cleared his throat and took a step back, "I was just talking nonsense. Don't take it too seriously, Yanyan. Don't stoop down to my level. You're the mighty immortal."

"I'm not an immortal," said Mu Chenyan. "I'm very much mortal and that's why I don't even mind if I'm being petty."

"Good for you," Shui Xian gave her a thumbs up and decided to just keep his distance from her. What if she suddenly lost it? He'd be the one suffering. His eyes drifted over to find his wife and found her pushing Grandfather Xiang's wheelchair as she left them all behind and continued to walk towards the home.

"I think we should leave now," said Xiang Weimin when they were all about to leave.

Xiang Wai also nodded in agreement.

"Huh? Already? Where are you going?" asked Mu Chenyan.

"Well, we can't just stay here," said Xiang Weimin.

"Why can't you?" asked Mu Chenyan. "Your surname is Xiang, isn't it? What's wrong with living in Xiang Manor? I don't see anything wrong with that."

"But I've been staying with the Zhai family," he told his aunt. "Dad asked Uncle Kuijun to let me stay with his family and they have been taking care of me as well. I can't just leave like this."

"How is that a big deal?" asked Mu Chenyan carelessly. "Ge has lost his mind to even go to the Zhai family for such a thing. You should stay at home with your family. It's not good to be a guest at someone's home for so long," she seemed to be doing her best to make her point. "Don't worry, I'll deal with the Zhai family. Just stay."

"But Ge's stuff is still there," said Xiang Wai. "Even all his meds are there."

"That's the worry here?" Mu Chenyan waved off her hand and looked at Shui Xian, "Son-in-law, call that friend of yours and get him to deliver everything over."

"You mean, Yannjun?" asked Shui Xian.

"Do you have another friend?"

"Ouch!" Shui Xian clutched his chest dramatically. "Yanyan, there is no need to attack me like this."

"Xian..."

"I'm doing it right now," said Shui Xian. "If you tell me, I'll go myself to get all the stuff from the Zhai family home. You just stay the word!"

"There is no need for that," said Mu Chenyan. "Just call Yanjun. He will deal with it."

"Okay," Shui Xian also agreed with this fact and immediately contacted Zhai Yanjun. "He said he'll get everything here in an hour." Shui Xian informed Mu Chenyan after his call was done.

Mu Chenyan clapped her hands and looked at her nephew, "See? Problem solved!"

"Yeah, you shouldn't even have anything to worry about as long as Yanyan is around," Shui Xian couldn't help chiming in. "No problem can stay when she is around."

"I'm very good at solving problems," Mu Chenyan spoke proudly.

"But Papa says you're actually even better at creating problems," Xiang Wai told her which cracked Mu Chenyan's expressions.

She smiled awkwardly, "You shouldn't listen to my Ge so much. He knows nothing. He only knows how to blacken my name!"

  There wasn't much that she said but it was enough to prove to Xiang Weimin and Xiang Wai that their father was right about her. She really had a very good relationship with their father. Even though they weren't blood-related siblings, they were closer than most blood-related siblings. Even after all these years, their bond hadn't weakened at all.

"Is there anything else?" asked Mu Chenyan apprehensively. "I actually don't want to force you both to stay. I just get excited. But if you really don't want to stay then..." She didn't continue but her face dimmed instantly.

Xiang Weimin hugged her shoulder, "Aunt, after eating your food, I don't think I can digest anything. You brought it upon yourself so I'm definitely not leaving even if you kick me out."

Mu Chenyan face lit up and she grinned like a fool, "What kicking you out? I don't dare do that!"

Shui Xian looked at Mu Chenyan's face and shook his head helplessly. She really had no resistance when it came to any of these siblings. It was just that his Raelle still took the top spot in her life. Tsk. This woman really had too much love to spread.

He looked at Xiang Wai and asked, "So, what about you, Major?"

"I..." Xiang Wai originally wanted to leave. No, she wanted to stay but she also wanted to leave. This was such a conflict within her. But what should she do?

"Don't tell me you're gonna make a run for it just because you don't want to face your ex-boyfriend," Shui Xian lowered his voice that only they could hear when he said that.

Xiang Wai was immediately on alert and glared at him, "Who said I'm leaving? I'm right here! Besides, I'm already suspended! I have all the time in the world and I'm not scared of anything!"

"That's the spirit, Major!" Shui Xian patted her shoulder and walked away while suppressing his laughter. Oh, boy! She was really hot-heated and impulsive. Why was it so easy to get her so worked up?

Shui Xian was whistling in a good mood as he walked back home when Xiang Wai jogged to his side and asked, "Why do I feel like you did that on purpose?"

"What?" Shui Xian immediately pulled out his most innocent expression that could fool just anyone. 

Xiang Wai was also left confused for a moment when she looked at him like this.. Was she wrong? Was she overthinking? No, it still didn't feel right! He didn't have to make that comment but he did out of nowhere. And it definitely was for her to hear!
