Master's Untamed Wife

"I have a feeling that Ellie is around you?" 

Mu Chenyan raised her brows and looked up to see Raelle looking back at her, her smile deepened. She'd really never be able to understand the connection between these two. But she didn't want to either. Some connections were mysterious in this world and that also added a charm of its own.

"She is," she told him straightforwardly.

"Put the phone on speaker," he said to her.

Mu Chenyan did as he said, "Done!"

And then a passionate voice rang in the living room, "Ellie! My Elle, my dear Belle! I miss you!"

"Scram!" came Raelle's response which made him laugh.

"As if I'll scram just because you tell me to. If I was so obedient, I wouldn't be your best friend."

"Are you implying that I'm disobedient?" asked Raelle.

"Nope," said Hyson. "What I mean is that you're too obedient. So, I bring disobedience into your life to make the perfect blend in your life. Isn't that great? You see, I'm the imperfection, best suited with your perfection."

"I say, when are you gonna stop talking so much nonsense?"

"Nonsense is my specialty, I can't just give up on it!" he retorted. "Forget about that. You didn't even contact me in days."

"We just talked yesterday," reminded Raelle.

"We did? What are you talking about? I feel like it's been years I haven't heard your utterly devoid of emotions voice."

"Now, you have," said Raelle. "Happy?"

"Very!" he replied.

"Fai, you're really talented."

Hyson grinned, "Xian Ge, I'm flattered."

Shui Xian almost rolled his eyes at this person's shameless behavior. 

"But Xian Ge, did you teach her basketball well?"

"I did," said Shui Xian. "She is a fast learner."

"Really? She had always been a fast learner but don't get your hopes up. She won't be sticking to a sport like a basketball for long. It's not her field."

"I've long known that," said Shui Xian. He wasn't gonna delude himself to think that his wife was really interested in basketball because he knew she wasn't fond of sports. Today's matter was only because she wanted to make him happy. And he had to say, his wife was capable of doing all sorts of things just to make the people around her happy.

"Since you both are there, I'm just gonna assume that my Opa is there as well," Hyson sounded eager when he said that.

"I'm here," said Grandfather Xiang. He already had a big smile on his face since the moment he heard Hyson's voice.

"Opa! I have a question for you."

"What is it?"

"Are you happy?"

Grandfather Xiang was stunned for a moment before he looked at Raelle and shook his head. "I am very happy."

Hyson groaned, "Ah! That hurts. Opa, you're saying you're happy since I'm not here?"

Grandfather Xiang so wanted to squeeze his cheeks right now. He really loved to talk nonsense all the time but he couldn't possibly beat him. The most he could do was squeeze his cheeks!

"Stop talking nonsense!" said Grandfather Xiang.

Hyson chuckled, "I'm kidding. I'm just suddenly feeling delighted to know that you're happy." He suddenly changed his tune and added, "But I'm currently very sad as well."

"Oh?" Grandfather Xiang didn't know what to do about him. His mood changed faster than the direction of the wind! "Why is that so?"

"Opa, I'm so lonely here," said Hyson. "Shouldn't I be sad? Your little prince is feeling wronged."

"Dramatic," commented Raelle.

"Even if I'm dramatic, what can you do about it?" snapped Hyson at Raelle. "Ellie, stay out of it! I'm talking to Opa right now. Don't get involved."

"This is why I told my little prince is to not work so hard," said Grandfather Xiang. "Do you really think I can't raise you?"

Hyson tsked at that, "What are you talking about? It's not time Opa. It's my time to raise you instead. Guess what! I found something amazing here. I'm gonna buy it for you when I get the chance to. You'd love it, I promise!"

"Why don't you just take care of yourself instead of thinking about all this?"

"He'll be too bored if he doesn't do that."

Hyson's brows furrowed together when he heard that voice. "Zhai Yanjun? Is that you?"

Zhai Yanjun grinned, "Oh, hello, my sweet Fai!"

Hyson growled at his voice, "What the hell are you doing there? Did you come to bother my mum again? Didn't I tell you to behave yourself?!"

Zhai Yanjun was very happy even though Hyson wasn't saying anything nice. He still loved this boy whose fur always got ruffled when he was around. It was entertaining.

"Ayi says I'm not a bother. She is happy to have me around." 

Hyson snickered, "Of course, she is happy! And your job is to make her happy. Do you think I'd have put up with you for so long if you weren't of some use?"

"Ouch! Do you have to attack me like this always?"

"Oh, you should be glad I'm just attacking verbally. If I changed my tactics, you'd be a goner!"

"For some reason, you don't sound very intimidating," said Zhai Yanjun thoughtfully. No matter what he couldn't take Hyson's threat seriously. How could he?

"Oh? Is that so?" asked Hyson. "Ellie, show him what intimidation looks like!"

Zhai Yanjun's eyes widened, "Hey! That's cheating! You can't call for help like this." He instantly looked at Raelle and said, "Saozi, have mercy on me. I didn't even do anything."

"Should I do it or not?" asked Raelle.

Before Hyson could speak Zhai Yanjun added, "Hey! Little Fai, let's be reasonable."

"I'm being very reasonable! And who said I can't call for help? If you're so capable you can too?" He had a scheming smile on his lips as he added, "But you're gonna call Xian Ge for help, are you sure he'll be standing against my Ellie?"

Zhai Yanjun looked at Shui Xian and didn't even have to ask. He knew this friend was of no use. Especially against Raelle. 

In the end, Mu Chenyan had to step up and say, "Okay, drop it all of you. Yue said that's enough."

Zhai Yanjun was instantly happy, "Oh, right! I do have help!"

Hyson rolled his eyes when he heard that comment from this supposed brother of his.. Tsk. Why was he stuck with such a stupid brother?
