Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 766 Old & Scary

　　Hyson turned to Xiang Weimin and said, “Weimin Ge, although I love compliments, I have to say, you’re also a sis-con.”

Xiang Weimin felt like he was being shot while lying down. What did he do now? As he raised his brow at Hyson, the latter explained, “It’s too obvious. You both don’t even try to hide it.”

One was here getting news about Raelle’s health and the affairs of the hospital and the other was ready to throw hands for her sister with the ex-wife. Did they really try to hide that they were sis-cons? And this was only one example!

Xiang Hulin who had been standing aside, listening to everything suddenly walked over and said, “Yue Fai is very smart. You can really see things clearly.”

Hyson rubbed his nose saying, “Right, I know I’m very talented.”

”You sure are,” stated Xiang Hulin. Then he turned to his own son, “Lieutenant Colonel Xiang Weimin!”

Xiang Weimin who was lazing on the couch shot up and gave him a salute, “Yes, General!”

”Follow me,” ordered Xiang Hulin. “I have something to discuss with you.” Then his eyes gentled as he looked at Hyson and said, “Yue Fai, you must be tired. Don’t forget to take a rest. And if they bully you, let me know.”

Xiang Wai was looking at Hyson who said, “No, I’m fine for now. I can protect myself. I don’t get bullied anymore.”

Xiang Wai’s eyes narrowed at the words, ‘Not anymore.’ She looked at him once again while Xiang Hulin strode away.

”Ge, what did you do?” asked Xiang Wai. “Papa just called your full name. Did you mess up at work?”

Xiang Weimin looked at his sister, “Are you now looking for your own brother’s gossip?” 

Xiang Wai shrugged her shoulder, “Can’t be helped.”

Xiang Weimin sighed and went to follow his father. Behind him, he heard two people’s voices.

”Fighting, Ge!”

”Hold the ground, Lieutenant!”

He tsked at those two who were actually acting like kids. 

”Is he gonna get disciplined?” asked Hyson curiously. 

”You never know,” said Xiang Wai. “Well, actually, Papa usually doesn’t get involved with our affairs. Even if we got into trouble, he won’t help us out indiscriminately. But he won’t let anyone bully us either.” She stared at Hyson and added, “And now I know why. He didn’t want us to turn out to be a spoiled brats like you.”

”Hey! Who are you calling a brat?”

”Whoever answered!”

”Huh! That’s so childish!”

”So what? I have to deal with kids the way they understand.’

”Who are you calling a kid?!”

”Whoever answered!” She said just the way he did. 

”Copycat!” retorted Hyson.

”You’re a kid!” She insisted. 

”Thanks for the reminder, Old grandma!”

”Do I look old to you?” 

”Yeah, and also scary!” retorted Hyson before he ran away. He stopped at the flight of stairs and said, “By the way, lose the frown. You’re already scary enough.”

”If you have the guts, stop there and let me show you what scary is!” she shouted behind him.

”I don’t have the guts!” his voice came back from upstairs.

She was left feeling stifled. What the hell! How can he so easily accept that he has no guts?! Who does that?!

Of course, she wasn’t used to this style after spending so much time with proud soldiers who rather die than admit defeat. So, she was really in a complicated mood now. He started a fire and then ran away! 

While she was feeling this way, Yue Yue placed a hand on her arm and said, ‘My son is a little silly. Don’t take his words seriously.’

Now, that was something hard for Xiang Wai to do. Who said he was silly? That was definitely a disguise. That boy was sly and slippery like a loach! Don’t take his words seriously? What to do when all his words were brutal truths that shot at her heart? This was really looked for a fight. No wonder she didn’t like him at first sight. 

”Aunt Yue, you think he is silly?” asked Xiang Wai. “I think he is very smart.”

”True!” came Mu Chenyan’s voice. “He is Raelle’s best friend. How silly do you think he can be? If he wasn’t so smart, how will he be able so in sync with Raelle’s thoughts?” She took a pause and added, “It’s just that, my little cutie loves to act silly. No, in fact, he gets a little silly around people he feels comfortable. In front of outsiders, he definitely very restrained.”

Yue Yue gave her a look and questioned, ‘Really? Restrained? And Fai?’

Mu Chenyan coughed softly, “Don’t be like that, Yue. My little Fai is very good. How can you have any complaints with him?”

Yue Yue rolled her eyes thinking how it was very useless to have complaints anyway. Not like Mu Chenyan was gonna listen. She was blatantly biased. No one could do anything regarding that.

’Can’t you let me talk to Wai?’

”Oh,” responded Mu Chenyan but then she said, “Forget it. I’ll explain your meaning to Wai.” She turned to her niece and said, “Dear niece, it’s like this. What your aunt Yue wants to say is that, although our Fai talks very straightforwardly, you don’t have to take his words to heart. Yes, his words can be hurtful but don’t take them personally. He is another copy of Raelle. He has a poisonous tongue as well.”

”Where did they get it from?” asked Xiang Wai.

Yue Yue gave Mu Chenyan a look who scratched her neck. 

’Isn’t it all thanks to this one?’

Xiang Wai looked at her aunt and gave her a knowing smile. Mu Chenyan smiled back weakly and said, “I can swear that I had put a lock on my poisonous tongue for years. I never used it before those two and always acted sweet with them. I don’t know where they still learned being so poisonous with their words.”

”He said, no one in our family is good with words,” said Xiang Wai.

Mu Chenyan nodded solemnly, “Where is the lie, sweetie? Leaving Raelle aside, none of us are actually good with words.”

Xiang Wai almost laughed out loud at how easily her aunt accepted those words. But then again, maybe she should also accept it. After all, she also understood that none of them were good with words.
