Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 749 [Bonus chapter] Beautiful Smiles

Seeing that Raelle agreed to sit with her for a while longer and have tea, Qian Yin’s face bloomed with a smile once again. And this time, the gloomy feeling around her had dissipated. She looked more spirited and bright.

Raelle stared at her smile for a while before saying, “Auntie, you have a very beautiful smile.”

Qian Yin was taken aback by her compliment. She had heard plenty of people in her life telling her she was beautiful and her smile was gorgeous. But this was the first time, she felt so good about this compliment. 

”You think so?” she asked.

Raelle nodded her head, “I have tried for a long time. I can’t seem to come up with such a beautiful smile.”

Qian Yin chuckled at that, “Well, then you’d definitely like my son. His smile is even more beautiful than mine.” And her eyes drooped as she recalled how she hadn’t seen her son’s smile for a while now since all they did was argue lately. 

”If I see your son, I’ll tell you if I like his smile or not,” said Raelle seriously. 

Qian Yin continued to smile and nodded, “Then I’ll be waiting to hear your opinion. After all, I know you don’t lie.” She looked at Raelle’s face and added, “And then if you like him, you can marry him.”

”Child marriage is illegal,” was Raelle’s response.

Qian Yin burst out laughing, “Who is asking you to be a child bride?”

”Well, I’m too young to be married,” replied Raelle. “And your son seems eager to get married.”

Qian Yin was stumped. She didn’t even mention the real details but it seemed Raelle picked up the matter. Ah! This child was really too smart. What to do, she wanted this daughter-in-law even more now?!

”What a shame,” lamented Qian Yin. “Wait. It seems you’re not against the marriage.”

”Why would I be?” asked Raelle. “Marriage is a part of life. Just because I’m young doesn’t mean I don’t know that. One day I have to get married. And if your son’s looks are even half as gorgeous as yours, I don’t mind having him as a husband as well. But the point here isn’t whether his face is to my liking or not, it’s that he wants to marry someone else.”

”He has lost his mind,” muttered Qian Yin. “Forget it. Let’s not talk about him. How about I make wedding rings for you?”

”I just told you, I’m too young,” said Raelle.

”I know,” replied Qian Yin. “But you also said, the future is unknown. Since I have my present in my hand, and my inspiration is bursting out, I really want to design a whole set of wedding jewelry for you.”

Raelle didn’t have a habit of asking for things from anyone. She’d get what she wanted on her own. She hardly even asked for things from her Opa or Yanyan. But she couldn’t stop Qian Yin either. 

”Auntie, you’re a good mother,” said Raelle.

Qian Yin looked at Raelle wide-eyed.

”Trust me, you are,” added Raelle. “Even if someone tells you otherwise, you just keep in mind that you’re a good mother.”

Qian Yin so wanted to rub her head and even raised her hand to do so. But at the last moment, she remembered that Raelle didn’t like physical touch. So, she pouted and put her hand down.

”Now, I know why people say it’s always the ‘others’ children who are best,” commented Qian Yin. “Why aren’t you, my child?” She tsked at that, “This is why I wanted to kidnap you into my family as my daughter-in-law. But I only have one son.” She looked at Raelle and asked, “Do you think it’s too late to strive for another son?”

”Even if he is born next year, he’ll be fourteen years younger than me,” said Raelle.

”It’s okay. Age is just a number,” said Qian Yin. 

”Fourteen years is unacceptable,” was Raelle’s stance.

Qian Yin tsked again, “Argh! Why didn’t I just give birth to another son?”

Raelle knew she was joking but she still found her quite interesting. 

”Why do you want me to be your daughter-in-law? I might not even be as good as you think I am.”

”But you are perfect for my son,” insisted Qian Yin. “I just know it. Your thoughts are very clear even at this age. My whimsical son needs someone like you.” 

They sat together for a while drinking tea and enjoying the snacks that the kitchen staff prepared carefully. Qian Yin found this atmosphere very relaxing with a soft breeze blowing. 

She came here to relax in the first place and she really found that relaxation in this place. It was too peaceful in this mansion. Everything was arranged properly. Everyone worked orderly. And the beautiful landscape design of the garden was also a marvel. This place was so comfortable that she was reluctant to leave but…

”I’ll be leaving tomorrow,” she told Raelle.

”I thought you’d be staying for a month,” replied Raelle since that’s what she heard from Mu Chenyan.

”That was the plan but my husband is coming to get me tomorrow,” Qian Yin said with a sweet smile on her face. “He is so old and still can’t live without his wife. Tsk. What’s the point of being the Master of the house when he can’t even sleep alone?”

Although it sounded like a complaint, it actually had a hint of sweetness.

”Besides, after talking to you, I think I need to go back and solve everything properly,” said Qian Yin. “So, although it’s my regret that you can’t be my daughter-in-law, I sincerely wish you find your destined life partner. And I hope he is even more loving than my husband.”

Qian Yin knew that if there was something she never regretted in life, it was the decision to marry Shui Koshing. She really loved that man. Perhaps, not as much as he did. But she really loved him for sure. He was always there when she needed him. And he was the real comfort of her life. Her safe place was always with him. So, she hoped Raelle would find someone like that too.

Someone who would be able to make her smile beautifully as Qian Yin did.
