Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 672 I’m At The Hospital

Grandfather Xiang lifted his eyes from the newspaper he was reading and lowered his reading glasses as he looked at the people who came one by one to join him at the breakfast table. Not a single one of them woke up at their usual time and worse, they all looked so beat up right now.

Yue Yue was cradling her head in her hands as she tried to ease the headache. Although Xiang Wai and Xiang Weimin didn’t look as bad as her, they still weren’t doing very well. It seemed they really had too many drinks last night.

”So, comrade Yue, how many drinks did it take for you to pass out?” asked Grandfather Xiang in amusement. “One or two?”

Yue Yue held up two fingers proudly.

”Oh, you have some improvement,” commented Grandfather Xiang.

Yue Yue grinned at him.

”Is that something to be proud about?”

Yue Yue’s smile dropped and she lowered her head like a kid who was being lectured. How shameful to get lectured at this age? Especially in front of the younger generation. 

The good news was that even Grandfather Xiang didn’t think it was right to say anything else to Yue Yue in front of his grandchildren. After all, Yue Yue was still their elder. He shouldn’t embarrass her like this.

However, he was really frustrated right now. Especially when he saw Mu Chenyan bringing a steamer basket to the table. Yes, she was awake. Although she woke up later than usual, she still was earlier than the rest of the drinking gang. And not did she wake up but she also cooked the breakfast.

Was there even a thing called hangover in Mu Chenyan’s dictionary? 

That’s the question the rest of the drinking gang had in their minds but Mu Chenyan was happily oblivious to their thoughts. She was really someone who made others envious. She was the one who drank the most and yet, she was the soberest of them all.

How unfair!

”Oh, good morning, everyone!” said Mu Chenyan as she sat beside Yue Yue. “Yue, having a hangover?”

’What do you think?’

Mu Chenyan smiled at her and like magic brought a bottle out from somewhere and offered it to Yue Yue, “Here, have this hangover drink. It’ll help with the headache. Drink it and get better. Otherwise, you’ll miss out on the delicious buns I just steamed.”

”Chenyan,” Grandfather Xiang called out her name.

”Yes!” Mu Chenyan immediately sat straight like an obedient kid in class, ready for her lecture.

”Really?” that was all Grandfather Xiang asked her. 

Mu Chenyan smiled awkwardly, “I’m really innocent. My only fault is that I didn’t try to dissuade them.” She truly thought she was the most innocent one. She didn’t take them out drinking. She was the one being dragged there even though it wasn’t against her will. Hehe… Not like she’d ever say no to that.

”It was I who asked Aunt to have a competition with me,” added Xiang Wai. “So, grandpa, you don’t have to be angry with the aunt.”

Mu Chenyan was so touched when Xiang Wai spoke up for her. Oh, that felt so good and heartwarming. Aiyo, that was her niece! 

”Tsk,” Grandfather Xiang tsked at that. “You don’t have to speak up for her. It’s not like there is anything I can do to your aunt.” Even he was helpless before Mu Chenyan. And what if he lectured her? Or even made her kneel all night or day as punishment? Did it matter to her? No, she was way too used to all the tricks.

She had been through all kinds of punishments. They had tried hard ways and soft ways on Mu Chenyan but it never worked. Before it was only her dearest brother who could control her and now the job was done by Raelle and Hyson.

But at the end of the day, Mu Chenyan was still unstoppable!

”Weimin, did you talk to your father today?” asked Mu Chenyan. 

”No,” Xiang Weimin shook his head. “Why? What’s up, aunt?”

”Nothing,” Mu Chenyan smiled at him. “I was just wondering how is he doing.” Especially after meeting Raelle last night. She really hoped her Elle didn’t injure her brother brutally. 

”What can possibly happen to him?” asked Xiang Wai.

”Anything can happen once someone meets our family’s Elle,” was Mu Chenyan’s subconscious reply.

”What did you say?” 

Mu Chenyan’s eyes widened when she realized what she just said and had to tell honestly, “Elder Xiang, it seems that Elle met with Ge last night at the banquet.”

Grandfather Xiang didn’t react in the way she thought he would. He had always been avoiding talking about his only son. And he always kept the promise of keeping his granddaughter away from Xiang Hulin. 

”Hmm…” Now, he only hummed and even humorlessly added, “Then I’ll send blessing to his soul.”

Mu Chenyan gaped at him in disbelief. Was she dreaming? How come that was all the reaction he gave? But she couldn’t disagree that her brother needed some blessing after meeting his daughter. She just hoped her Elle went easy on him for her sake.

What she didn’t know was that Raelle indeed went quite easy on Xiang Hulin. And it was also for Mu Chenyan’s sake. Because even if Xiang Hulin meant nothing to her, Raelle knew very well what he meant to Mu Chenyan. In a way, these two were like Raelle and Hyson. Siblings from different mothers. 

She was still reeling in disbelief when her phone rang. Seeing it was Raelle’s call, she picked it up.

”Yo, my Elle! You’re definitely blessed to live for a hundred years, I was just talking about you!”

”Yanyan…”

Mu Chenyan’s brows knitted up once she heard Raelle calling her.

”Baby, what’s wrong?” Even if there was no change in Raelle’s tone, she is damned if she couldn’t tell something was up. How could she not tell anything?

”Can you come to me?” asked Raelle. “I’m at the hospital.”
