Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 794 Found You

　　Zhai Kuijun looked at Xiang Hulin suspiciously while Xiang Hulin pretended like he couldn’t see what was going on with his friend. He definitely didn’t want to play with his friend like this. After all, in all these years, Zhai Kuijun had been very close to him and they were already like close brothers. He never thought he’d have to betray his brother like this one day. 

But we can’t predict the future. 

Even if he didn’t want to do it, he still had to wrong his good brother for now.

”Hulin,” called out Zhai Kuijun.

”Hm? Yes?” answered Xiang Hulin.

”Why do you look so suspicious right now?” asked Zhai Kuijun.

”Huh? How so?” inquired Xiang Hulin.

”You purposely delayed me inside the house,” said Zhai Kuijun. He wasn’t as big of a fool as everyone was clearly taking him to be. Even if he didn’t much about that earlier because of his emotional state, that didn’t mean he won’t notice these minor details now that he was sober again.

”Why would I do that?” asked Xiang Hulin.

”Even if I had to have hallucinations, why would I have it the very first time I came to the Xiang Manor?” asked Zhai Kuijun. “Do I really look that naive to you?”

”Not naive but you aren’t big of a schemer either,” Xiang Hulin couldn’t help saying. He even wanted to add that if he was a schemer then he wouldn’t have been defeated and betrayed by his ex-wife so much. But Xiang Hulin held himself back from doing so. This was his own good friend, he couldn’t stab him right where it hurt.

”As if you know how to scheme,” Zhai Kuijun shot back at him.

”I’m an upright General,” said Xiang Hulin. “Why would I resort to petty tricks?”

”Then stop playing tricks with me,” said Zhai Kuijun loudly before he ran towards the house. He wasn’t willing to believe that what he saw was just a mirage. Was he so gullible to believe that his seeing Yue Yue here was so coincidental? The woman whom he hadn’t seen in years was suddenly seen in the Xiang Manor. And he was supposed to take it as just his dream?

Even if it was a dream, he had to first confirm it!

”What the…!” Xiang Hulin was left sighing behind Zhai Kuijun. “Did his brain also come back online after his divorce? Why is he suddenly so perceptive?” He shook his head, “Well, I could only do this much for you little sister Yue. Hope you’re already hiding well.” With that thought, he followed Zhai Kuijun back to the house.

But clearly, his prayer didn’t work. Yue Yue was just about to rush upstairs to her room to hide when Zhai Kuijun suddenly appeared. He saw the same figure he saw in the garden running up the stairs and rushed over to hold her arm.

Because he did it so abruptly, Yue Yue was startled and skipped a step making her body fall backward. She was horrified but instead of falling down, she fell against a warm chest. Yue Yue’s whole body stiffened when she realized who was behind her. She didn’t even have to look behind her to know.

Even after years, he still smelled like he did years ago. 

She suddenly recalled what her son said the other day, ‘You can’t run forever.’

It seemed, her running ended today.

For a while, there was silence around them and all she heard was the sound of his breath behind her. He didn’t move and didn’t even say anything. As if he was really trying to take in this reality. He had spent years wondering where or how he’ll find her but now that he did, it was taking him longer than he expected to even take in this moment.

”I finally found you,” he whispered making Yue Yue’s ears numb.

He supported her to stand up on the step of the stairs properly. As she found her balance, she wondered if she could run once again. Of course, that was her wishful thinking so she dropped the idea and turned around slowly to face him.

No, she didn’t face him directly. Her eyes were lowered, she didn’t dare to look into his eyes.

Meanwhile, Zhai Kuijun was staring at her face with a look of relief visible on his face. His whole body felt so light all of a sudden as if a very heavy burden was lifted off his chest. His eyes were stinging as he felt so emotional right now. He really found her and she was… Alive!

Don’t think that just because he didn’t believe others, he wasn’t fearful. He was really scared that what people said was true and she was really no more in this world. But now he could let go of that thought. She was alive. She was standing right in front of him. He really found her!

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Zhai Kuijun looked down and saw Xiang Hulin. His face darkened and he came down to stand before his good brother! 

”Who is she?” asked Zhai Kuijun as he pointed toward Yue Yue. “Isn’t that Yue?”

Xiang Hulin still pretended to be oblivious as he asked in surprise, “What? That’s the Yue you’ve been looking for?”

Zhai Kuijun’s face darkened and he so wanted to beat this good brother of his. Sadly, that was a pipe dream. He could only swallow it up! 

”You know clearly who she is!” Zhai Kuijun said through gritted teeth. He looked like he was imagining to be grinding Xiang Hulin’s bones between his teeth. 

Xiang Hulin actually found his friend to be quite amusing at the moment. So, he decided to continue and said, “I know. She is our family’s little sister.” He even smiled brightly at his friend as he said that. “She only looks like the Yue Yue you knew, she isn’t her.”

”What?!” Zhai Kuijun almost went ballistic at this moment when he heard his good brother speaking so much nonsense to fool him. He felt like he was on the verge of getting another stroke right now. That’s how mad he was!
