Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 957: Bite

Raelle left the room after saying all that to Mu Chenyan. Xia Zhao looked at Grandfather Xiang and said, “Uncle has raised a beautiful granddaughter. She has a beautiful heart.”         

    

Grandfather Xiang sighed, “I can’t take the credit for that. I think our Chenyan did more than anyone else. She shaped Raelle into who she is today.”     

Mu Chenyan woke up from her daze and said, “Are you sure I did that? Sometimes, even I’m in doubt if I have really raised her. After all, she is nothing like me.” She took a deep breath and said, “Oh, I forgot. I came to call you for lunch.” She hesitated before turning to Xia Zhao, “Since you’re here, you can also join us for lunch.”     

“I should leave now,” said Xia Zhao.     

Mu Chenyan rolled her eyes at him, “I didn’t add anything to the food this time!”     

Xia Zhao looked at her, “So you do accept that back then it was you who added something to my meal?”     

Mu Chenyan opened her mouth and coughed as she looked away saying, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” She didn’t even confess back then, how could she let it slip now after all these years? No, it was his fault for even remembering something that happened so long ago. And he was still holding a grudge over that? How petty! Didn’t he just have to make a few extra trips to the bathroom that day, what was withholding that grudge until now?     

Grandfather Xiang looked at their interaction and as always turned a blind eye to it all. He could only shake his head at these two. Even after all these years, their way of interaction didn’t change. Who would believe that they weren’t the same teenagers from back then?     

“Zhao, stay for lunch,” said Grandfather Xiang. “Our Chenyan is quite a master chef now.”     

Mu Chenyan looked proud, “Of course! It’s the result of all those burns and cuts that paid off and turned me into a master chef after shedding all that sweat and blood.”     

“Yes, Uncle. Since you’re saying, I’ll stay for lunch,” agreed Xia Zhao without even looking at Mu Chenyan.     

Grandfather Xiang happily left the room leaving Mu Chenyan glaring at Xia Zhao. “So, when I asked to stay, you don’t want to. But when he asked, you want to stay for lunch? Aren’t you being too obvious about your dislike towards me?”     

“Do you have some misunderstanding, Yan Zi?” asked Xia Zhao. “I have never disliked you. You know that too.”     

“Well, I do dislike you though.”     

“I don’t believe you,” he said as he tried to pass from her side.      

Mu Chenyan held his arm and pulled him back, “You! What are you doing here?”     

“I told you I’ll come to visit Uncle.”     

“And why didn’t you tell me that you had been in contact with him for all these years?”     

“That had nothing to do with you,” replied Xia Zhao. “You are you. Uncle Tian is Uncle Tian. I don’t think I have to mention everything to you.”     

“Of course! Who am I? Why would you share everything with me?”     

“Am I hearing it wrong or do you sound very bitter right now?”     

“Bitter? I want to bite off your flesh right now!”     

Xia Zhao lifted his arm and unclasped his cuffs and pulled up his sleeve. He offered his arm to her saying, “Bite.”     

“What?”     

“I said, bite. You can bite how hard you want. No matter how you want to bite off my flesh. I won’t complain. Do it.”     

“You think I won’t dare to?” she asked.         

    

Xia Zhao shook his head, “No. Knowing you, Yan Zi, I’m certain you’ll bite. So, do it and let off some steam. I can see that since we last met, you must have been having trouble even sleeping because of all this rage inside you. So, I’m allowing you to let it all out now.”     

Mu Chenyan stared at his face trying to see if he was speaking the truth or just saying it. After a whole minute, she really held his arm and brought it to her mouth. She ground her teeth as if she was sharpening them like a knife right now. She opened her mouth to bite and really bit him hard.      

Xia Zhao didn’t even flinch. Her teeth were slowly boring into his skin but he didn’t even wince in pain. Instead, his eyes sparkled with a smile but he controlled the curve of his lips. He really raised his lips into a smile and she saw it, it’ll only get worse so it was better to stay expressionless right now.     

Mu Chenyan only let go when she tasted the rusty blood in her mouth. Only then did she pull out his arm and looked at the blood she actually drew out with her bite. His pale skin in contrast with that startling red color was quite a contrast. She looked up at Xia Zhao who looked as usual as he asked, “Are you feeling better?”     

She was actually quite satisfied with her work when she saw the blood but seeing his face as calm as ever, really was like a bucket of cold water poured over her head. It was exactly as it always had been. No matter what she did, it had no effect on him. He was still as unruffled as ever.      

As always, she was the one looking like a clown for being this unreasonable.      

“It hurts,” he said when he noticed how the emotions in her eyes were swirling wildly right now. “You’ll have to clean this up now as well.”     

Mu Chenyan looked back at the blood on his arm and felt a little guilty. Just a teeny tiny bit of guilt. That was the only amount she could spare for him. She suddenly wanted to smack her head. Why did she always lose her mind when he was around? Why was it so difficult to stay rational with him around her?     

He really made her seem like a fool!
