Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 763 Shocker

　　”You’re really a sweet person,” remarked Xiang Hulin. ‘Just like Kuijun described you.’ But he kept this thought to himself. 

At that comment, Yue Yue showed him a sweet smile. 

Xiang Hulin felt like patting her head but he held himself back. They weren’t that familiar yet. If it was Mu Chenyan in her place, he’d have already made her head turn into a bird’s nest from rubbing with his big palms. But then again, his sister was definitely not sweet like Yue Yue. If anything, Mu Chenyan was like the sweet poison.

”Even if you don’t want me to take a side, you can still look for me,” insisted Xiang Hulin. “Or you can just simply look for Chenchen. Since she calls you her sister, she’d be willing to even cut open her chest and take out her heart for you.”

Yue Yue nodded in agreement, ‘She really has a way to spoil people she loves.’

”No, she likes to spoil everyone,” said Xiang Hulin. “She had always been a fierce person but at the same time, a very nice person. If you don’t provoke her, she’d be the most easy-going person.”

’So, she always liked to care about everyone?’

Xiang Hulin shook his head, “Not everyone. If you’re her enemy or a rival, she’d hardly even spare you a glance. She doesn’t like wasting time and energy on people like that. But she had always been willing to do her very best, whether it’s for friends or family.” 

And it was because she was willing to do her very best that whenever she needed something, there was a hoard of people offering their help to her. She didn’t even need to say a word and people would love to do her bidding. It’s like a good person is always rewarded. 

Yue Yue only thought about how selfless Mu Chenyan had been. That was the only way she could define Mu Chenyan. If she wasn’t selfless why would she be willing to raise Raelle for so many years without expecting anything in return? Not only that, she could that Mu Chenyan wanted to pay back the gratitude of the Xiang family and that’s why she did whatever she did for Raelle even though that wasn’t the truth. However, when she thought about herself and her son, she truly had to say that Mu Chenyan was selfless.

They had nothing to do with Mu Chenyan and yet, she had been doing so much for her and her son as well. And now, Mu Chenyan was the existence whom Yue Yue trusted with all her heart. So what if she found this best friend a little annoying at times? It was all part of a friendship or this sisterhood, no?

’Can I ask you something personal about Chenyan?’

Xiang Hulin was thinking about leaving when he heard that mechanical voice from Yue Yue’s phone and stopped. He looked at Yue Yue’s tentative demeanor and nodded his head. “You can ask me anything. I said it before, if you’re Chenchen’s sister, you’re my sister as well. I am a man of words.”

’Chenyan had been in love?’

Xiang Hulin sighed at that question, “There was a time when I thought that if my sister took even life seriously, it’d be a miracle. Love? That was the biggest joke in her life. When I first told her about my ex-wife, she laughed at my face for an hour asking me, what was this love I talked about?”

’Really?’

Xiang Hulin nodded his head as he pursed his lips. “It had always been like that. In fact, she said the relationship between a man and a woman is the most fragile. It has no trust. And marriage comes with the possibility of divorce and a lifetime. But love always has an expiration date. So, she’d rather not be in love that is bound to fade with time.”

Yue Yue found it strange when she heard that. She thought the Mu Chenyan she knew was a little different from this. But then again, even Mu Chenyan once told her that if Yue Yue had met her in her youth, Yue Yue would have run away from Mu Chenyan in fear of calling her a hooligan.

’She isn’t like that anymore though.’

”I noticed,” stated Xiang Hulin. “My mother once said, ‘Ah-Chen, you’re gonna be doomed if you found someone to teach you what love is.’ And surprisingly, Chenchen found that person in the form of my own youngest daughter, Raelle.”

Yue Yue had a look of realization as she nodded in agreement. Indeed, Mu Chenyan often said that raising Raelle changed her. A little baby made her realize a very different meaning of life and made her take life seriously as well.

’Raelle is Chenyan’s life,’ was Yue Yue’s heartfelt thoughts. ‘Mu Chenyan is nothing without Raelle Xiang. That woman’s happiness is inseparable from her darling Elle. It’s almost like Mu Chenyan loses the meaning of her existence if she doesn’t have Raelle around.’

Xiang Hulin had a gentle smile on his face when he heard that. He had already noticed it. Once upon a time, he was at the top of Mu Chenyan’s heart but now, he was certain that he’d have to take a seat behind his daughter. Because Mu Chenyan’s heart was filled with Raelle. Didn’t he notice how happy she looked just because she received a call from Raelle earlier?

”Tsk, life is an illusion,” came a lamented voice of Mu Chenyan before she appeared herself. Seeing her brother sitting with Yue Yue, she raised her brows and rushed up to them. “Oh, what’s happening here? What are we discussing? Do you mind if I join?”

”Who can mind?” retorted Xiang Hulin.

”Well, Ge, even if you do mind, do I look like I care?” was Mu Chenyan’s response as she guffawed. “I’ll sit if I want to sit. No one can tell me to do otherwise.”

”Yes, yes, you’re the real boss here,” stated Xiang Hulin as if he was coaxing a child. And Yue Yue who noticed it clearly found Mu Chenyan’s smug look a little funny. She never knew someone could coax Mu Chenyan in this way and even succeed?

Wait?!

Did that mean, Mu Chenyan was always this silly before her brother? What a shocker!
