Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 839 No In-Between

”I don’t,” answered Raelle and looked at Justin.

Little Justin spoke in his milky sweet voice, “Mom, I plucked flowers from the garden without permission. I have to apologize for my mistake.”

Tang Hebe was shocked when she heard that. She didn’t react for a whole minute.

Meanwhile, Justin looked at Raelle, “Who should I say sorry to?”

If it was the old Tang Hebe, she’d have asked why her son had to apologize for taking a couple of flowers. But now, she didn’t have the same mindset, especially after being a mother. She just had a very complex look in her eyes when she looked at Raelle again. Oh, this girl kept surprising her and it was really not something she’d get used to.

Raelle also had to think about this question. Whom to apologize to? The management? That felt right.

”Let’s go and look for someone from the administration,” said Raelle.

”Okay,” agreed Justin readily.

”Why do I feel like my wife just collected a little follower?” Shui Xian muttered to himself. But when he noticed the way Tang Hebe was glaring at him, he scowled, “What? What are you looking at?”

”What did your wife do? My son is introverted. He doesn’t like interacting with strangers. Why is he so close to her after just a few minutes?”

Shui Xian shrugged, “If you spend a few minutes with my Raelle, you either end up loving her or hating her. There is no in-between. Indeed, your son ended up loving her. Besides, kids are always open to people who make them feel comfortable and to whom they can relate to. It can be seen that your son is very comfortable around my Raelle. Ah! The charm of hers even works at kids.” 

Although he proudly showed off a little before Tang Hebe, as he followed Raelle and Justin, he was also wondering what was this. Why did he think that Raelle and Justin bonded very well and very soon as well? How was it possible?

But then suddenly a thought came to him, ‘Was it because Raelle was also just a curious little kid at heart like Justin?’ He knew he was thinking a bit of nonsense but it still made sense. Raelle’s heart was like a kid and so were her thoughts. She was very honest like pure children. So, he shouldn’t be surprised that she bonded with Justin.

Raelle ended up going to the Administration Deputy Director’s office. She was about to knock when the door opened and a head full of flashy red hair appeared before her. The woman was dressed in an elegant suit but it didn’t hide her personal style. She wore glasses and looked very competent. 

But as soon as she looked at Raelle, she grinned, “Yo! Cousin! I was just about to go and find you!”

Raelle heard the word, ‘Cousin’ and worked her memory before pulling out a file with this woman’s picture on it. “Ms. Gou Jinjin.” Of course, Raelle knew the woman before her. Not personally, but she still knew her because she happened to be Mu Chenyan’s niece from her maternal family. In fact, Raelle was familiar with the identities of the whole Gou family. And since the hospital belonged to the Gou family, it wasn’t surprising to meet the family members here.

The one called, Gou Jinjin clutched her chest and looked so touched, “Oh my gosh! You know me! I feel so honored. But don’t be so distant. You can call me Jin Jie! Or Jinjin. Or anything you like as long as it doesn’t sound too formal.” She took a pause and asked, “But what are you doing here? Are you looking for me?”

”We are looking for the Deputy Director,” answered Raelle.

”Oh, that’s me!” Gou Jinjin pointed at herself. “So, you’re really looking for me. But what is it about?” She suddenly turned serious. “Who dares to offend you? Did anyone slight you? Who is it? Who dared to mess with our family’s girl? Are they courting death?”

”So, Yanyan was right. Your temper does match hers,” stated Raelle.

Gou Jinjin smiled awkwardly and touched her nose. Well, it was nothing new for her to hear that her temper matched her wayward aunt Mu Chenyan. But she always took it as a compliment. After all, even if her aunt was called wayward, she was still the most respected one in the whole family. Even her own father was a little scared of this aunt who was actually the youngest in the family. 

”Anyway, we are here to inform you that we took some flowers from the garden. And since it’s clearly stated that flowers are not to be plucked, we should apologize for it,” said Raelle.

Justin came out from behind her and looked nervously at Gou Jinjin whose aura was too strong for a kid. He held the clothes of Raelle and said, “Sorry. It was me who took the flowers because I found them pretty and wanted to give them to this pretty sister.”

Gou Jinjin was lost for words for a moment before she faced Raelle, “You were looking for me for just that? It’s just flowers. Small matter. The hospital is yours. Do whatever you want.”

”Rules are rules,” said Raelle.

”Rules are meant to be broken,” said Gou Jinjin nonchalantly. But once she noticed Raelle looking at her, she cleared her throat. She crouched down and faced Justin, “Little buddy, it’s wrong to take flowers. But since you’re so adorable and this is your first mistake, I’ll let it go. But don’t do it again.”

”I won’t,” said Justin and looked up at Raelle, “Will you see me again?”

”Quite possible,” replied Raelle, and then she looked at Tang Hebe whose heart thudded in her chest. She felt like Raelle could see something. Or maybe she was being paranoid now. 

”Justin, let’s go now!” Tang Hebe said hurriedly and Justin nodded his head.

”Bye!” Justin waved at Raelle. “I’ll see you later.” Then he ran to his mother to leave.
