Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 618 Anything

Mu Chenyan had been meaning to take her niece and nephew out for fun for days now but she had to restrain herself considering how Xiang Weimin hadn’t fully recovered. Although he could walk on his own without much support, he couldn’t walk for long or stand for that long. Besides, this nephew was also afflicted with the hereditary disease of the Xiang family, they were all crazy workaholics.

Who knew that even during these months when he got the chance to stay home for recuperation, he chose to join the military research center as a supervisor. Mu Chenyan was helpless before this. So, she had to set her target on Xiang Wai. But poor her luck, even Xiang Wai had to deal with some things. 

Mu Chenyan could only ask herself why she was such a pitiful aunt? 

Today was a rare day when both Xiang Weimin and Xiang Wai were at home. Mu Chenyan finally got her chance, “Should we go out today?”

It’s not like these siblings couldn’t see what was up with Mu Chenyan during the week they spent with her. She was really enthusiastic about taking them out. They didn’t know what her definition of fun was but they were actually curious about it.

”Aunt, today Ge has an appointment with the doctor,” told Xiang Wai. “That’s why I decided to stay home and go with him to the hospital.”

Mu Chenyan immediately changed her expression and turned serious, “Oh. Why didn’t you let me know earlier? When is the appointment? I’ll arrange the car. Are we going to the military hospital?”

”No,” said Xiang Wai but she didn’t tell her which hospital it was. Not like Mu Chenyan was paying attention at this moment. She was already rushing to get everything arranged to take her nephew to the hospital. 

”She is a very energetic person for someone of her age,” said Xiang Wai.

Xiang Weimin smiled at his sister’s comment, “She isn’t an old lady.”

”No, but she sometimes acts like one,” said Xiang Wai. “Oftentimes, she is like a young woman, and sometimes, she is like an old lady.”

”Well, she is certainly a lot more active than most women her age,” commented Xiang Weimin thoughtfully. 

”Oh, and she is also strong,” told Xiang Wai. “The other day, I tried to drag her out of the kitchen but I couldn’t even move her a step. Can you believe it? With my strength, I wasn’t able to move her!”

”That must have been a blow to you,” Xiang Weimin chuckled making Xiang Wai glare at him. “No wonder you had been running out every day to train secretly.”

”How can I let her win? How will I lift my head ever again?” 

”Old ginger is always spicier,” was Xiang Weimin’s response. “You should keep that in mind. Her experience in fighting might be more than yours. Even if it doesn’t seem like it.” He lowered his voice and added, “Haven’t you seen the security around Raelle or even in the Manor? Even the most basic cleaning maid is trained.”

Xiang Wai looked at her brother in surprise. She didn’t question the authenticity of her brother’s words. She knew she wasn’t as keen about certain things as he was. So, the things she often overlooked, he’d not. He’d pay attention to the smallest details.

”The most special thing about the security around Raelle is that they are all ex mercenaries. And trust me, not some ordinary mercenaries who retired. They are dangerous. And the security in the manor consists of all the retired soldiers. Every single person is good at their job. And apparently, they are all under our dear aunt’s command. It’s not grandfather’s prestige. It’s our aunt’s. So, never underestimate her.”

”Suddenly, I don’t feel as bad as I did before,” sighed Xiang Wai.

*Ring!*

Xiang Wai took the phone from the coffee table and said, “Ge, Papa is calling you.” While Xiang Weimin extended his hand to take the phone, she actually accepted the call, “Hi, Papa!”

Xiang Hulin was a bit surprised to hear his daughter’s voice and checked the contact. Indeed, he called his son but it seemed they were together and Xiang Wai must have taken the phone from her brother. His expression softened as he answered, “Hi, daughter! How are you?”

”I’m good,” answered Xiang Wai. “I’m awesome!”

”Oh, that I already know,” said Xiang Hulin. “My daughter is indeed awesome. What are you doing?”

”I was gonna take Ge to the hospital,” told Xiang Wai. “But now, aunt is also coming with us. From the hospital, she might take us out for fun. But I don’t know what this fun is.”

Xiang Hulin felt his head aching once he heard that his dear sister, Mu Chenyan was planning to take his kids out for fun. That was a recipe for disaster. The definition of fun in Mu Chenyan’s life was certainly something that didn’t resonate with him. Never did and never will. Even after all these years, he was certain that his sister didn’t change.

”Don’t worry, I don’t know about anyone else but you’ll certainly enjoy your aunt’s definition of fun,” stated Xiang Hulin. “Just take care of yourself and your brother. Your aunt is never up to any good so just be a bit more careful.”

Xiang Wai laughed at her father’s reaction, “Papa, why does it sound like you’re kind of scared of aunt?”

At this moment, he wished he could refute his daughter’s words but he just couldn’t do so. At the end of the day, he was actually a bit scared of his sister even though he was so much older than her. But this fear was different than what his daughter had in mind.

”That sister of mine is more like an ancestor,” was Xiang Hulin’s response. “I’m not scared of her but I’m scared of what she can do. And trust me, Chenchen is capable of doing anything. And by anything, I mean ANYTHING!”
