Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 728 Sandal Beating

Once Mu Chenyan’s call with Raelle ended, she was grinning from ear to ear. Whistling around and walking with a skip, she looked like she was floating in the sky. And well, she was truly feeling like she was in the clouds because it felt so surreal. Her Elle called her to say she missed her!

Well, okay, that wasn’t how she said it but the meaning was the same!

No matter in which way it was said, it was the truth that couldn’t be denied. Ah! She felt like someone filled her heart with cotton candy. But she didn’t even like cotton candy all her life. How come she was feeling so sweet right now?

Finding Yue Yue walking by, she actually picked her up and made a flawless spin. Yue Yue was so scared that she kept hitting Mu Chenyan’s arms. She couldn’t even scream! But it had no effect on Mu Chenyan who continued to spin her around. And when she finally put her back on the ground, Yue Yue had to take a moment to catch her breath.

She shot Mu Chenyan a fierce glare. At least, she believed it was a fierce look! But in Mu Chenyan’s opinion, it looked more like she ruffled the fur of a kitty. How cute!

If Yue Yue knew what she was thinking, she’d have taken off her sandal to beat Mu Chenyan up.

But unfortunately… Ahem! Ahem… I mean, fortunately, Yue Yue didn’t know Mu Chenyan’s thoughts, and that in turn saved Mu Chenyan from a ‘sandal beating.’

’Have you lost your brain?’ Yue Yue looked at Mu Chenyan with an accusatory gaze. ‘Or do you need my help looking for that brain in the trash bin?’

Mu Chenyan didn’t even mind her words as she was still grinning proving even further to Yue Yue that Mu Chenyan really have lost her mind. Ah! What a shame!

Mu Chenyan pinched Yue Yue’s cheek leaving the latter gaping in disbelief as she said, “Yue, my dear little sister, why are you so cute?”

’I’m not little!’ Yue Yue wanted to scream that in Mu Chenyan’s ears but sadly, it wasn’t possible. And no matter how furiously she used her hand signs to get her emotions across, Mu Chenyan would always choose to ignore that one point that Yue Yue was older than her.

As long as Mu Chenyan said she was little, she was little!

We don’t take arguments in this house!

”Chenchen, did you cry?”

Mu Chenyan looked over at her brother and shook her head, “Nope.” She touched her wet eyelashes as she went on, “Those were just happy tears.”

”Now, you’ve even learned to shed happy tears,” commented Xiang Hulin. “What a surprise.”

”Ge, I have always been full of surprises,” said Mu Chenyan proudly.

Xiang Hulin nodded his head, “Indeed, how can I forget that.”

Mu Chenyan started whistling again as she left both of them in the hallway. Xiang Hulin looked at Yue Yue as he said, “You must be having it tough around her.”

Yue Yue gave him a look that said, ‘You think?’ Sighing, she went back to her work. Her heart was still beating so fast from the scare Mu Chenyan gave her. She thought she’d fall. Luckily, Mu Chenyan didn’t drop her or her old bones must have had gotten a fracture or something.

Xiang Hulin came to sit with his father and asked, “Father?”

”Hm?”

”When did Chenchen become a crybaby?” he asked.

Grandfather Xiang looked up at his son before saying, “Everyone has a weakness. She just found hers.” Xiang Hulin was frowning when Grandfather Xiang called out, “Chenyan!”

”Yes?” Mu Chenyan who was passing by with a basket full of fresh vegetables stopped at looked at Grandfather Xiang. “What is it, Elder Xiang?”

”What did Raelle say to make you look like this?” asked Grandfather Xiang.

Mu Chenyan smiled so brightly that her teeth were on full display, “She said she misses me.”

Grandfather Xiang shook his head, “Just that and you lost your mind?”

Mu Chenyan gave him a stinky eye, “You won’t understand! Forget it. I won’t waste time with you. My Elle is waiting for me to cook her something delicious.” She took a pause and added, “Oh, did I mention, that she actually knows the taste of my food. She said my food doesn’t taste like others. Can you believe it?”

With a laugh, she rushed back to the kitchen.

Grandfather Xiang chuckled softly when she left, “Tsk. At this age, she is still so silly!” But the small smile playing on his lips showed that he actually understood Mu Chenyan’s feelings. Those words might seem ordinary to most people. But the same words coming from Raelle were a big deal to Mu Chenyan or even Grandfather Xiang.

”Yesterday, she looked like she was stuck in a thunderstorm,” commented Xiang Hulin. “And today, her world is filled with bright sunshine and rainbows?”

Grandfather Xiang sighed, “I told you, she has her weakness now. A purpose of her existence that she never had before. And yesterday, the thunderstorms that darkened her world were because she wanted to kill everyone and everything that dared to hurt her precious. And today, her precious has complimented her and it’s all bright in her world again.”

”I didn’t think, Raelle would have such an impact on Chenchen,” said Xiang Hulin.

”She isn’t alone,” replied Grandfather. “My granddaughter might not be ordinary. But she always leaves her mark on people. She is just that special.”

Xiang Hulin actually found it really surprising to see how his father’s voice was brimming with pride as he spoke about Raelle. It seemed his daughter really changed something in both Mu Chenyan and his own father. And it was no easy feat.

But he had to agree with his father’s words. His youngest daughter really knew how to leave her mark on people’s minds. After all, even he would never be able to forget the very first meeting he had with his own daughter.
