Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 968: [Bonus chapter] My Mother?

Yue Yue shook her head. Living with people with scary observations, she had to up her game a little or she’d look like a simpleton between them. Well, she was indeed still far off but it was better than before when she always stayed clueless about what was happening.     𝑶𝒱𝔩xt.𝒸𝒪𝓂

‘I just realized you have never spoken like this before to anyone. You never bring up your status or noble birth to put down people. It’s the first time for me to see this.’     

Mu Chenyan smiled at her, “To say, I’m not proud of the family I was born in would be wrong. Maybe I don’t throw my weight around using my family’s prestige but I’m very proud. I have three families to be proud of. My Mu family died on the battlefields saving soldiers. My adopted family the Xiang have also sacrificed their everything for the homeland. And my Gou family is also serving the people of this homeland. I think I have the right to be proud.”     

‘But you never speak of it.’     

“I don’t have to. Only my heart needs to know how proud I am of my family. I spoke of status in front of that woman simply; that’s what she hates the most.”     

Seeing the evil smile on her face, Yue Yue understood her intentions.     

That was so typical of Mu Chenyan’s behavior, how did she not notice? Mu Chenyan would always hurt right where it hurt the other person the most. Since what that woman cared most about was her birth, Mu Chenyan would purposely bring it up to strike her face without lifting her hand.     

Mu Chenyan forked a piece of apple and bit it with a crunch sound before she looked at the stage from the glass wall as she said, “That woman is the indirect reason I lost both my parents on the same day. I might not waste my time hating her but I have no good feelings for her either. I don’t mind slapping her face even if she is an elder of my family.”     

Yue Yue was surprised to hear that. She didn’t expect to hear something like this. It was rare for Mu Chenyan to talk about her birth parents. She was always so carefree that one would think she didn’t even remember her parents but the truth was, she remembered everything. It was the matter of speaking about it or not. She chose not to. Besides, she wasn’t someone to wallow all the time.     

‘Are you okay?’ asked Yue Yue.     

“Do I look like I’m gonna cry?” asked Mu Chenyan in return. “Don’t even think about it. I don’t cry over the past. It makes me feel like a fool. Come and sit closer. The auction is starting. See what you like, I’ll buy it for you.”     

Yue Yue gave her a look, ‘You really like the role of the overbearing CEO.’     

“So what? I love indulging my sweetheart,” said Mu Chenyan. “What’s wrong with it? You just point at the thing, I promise to bring it.” Seeing how Yue Yue ignored her, she added, “If you didn’t pick something of your choice, I’ll buy everything for you on this auction. Do you wanna try?”     

‘I’ll pick!’ said Yue Yue as she was genuinely scared by that warning. She didn’t think it was just a warning. Mu Chenyan was certainly capable of buying everything without blinking. She didn’t want to risk it.     

‘What have our family put for auction?’     

Mu Chenyan looked at Yue Yue who raised her brow.     

‘What? What are you looking at?’     

Mu Chenyan shrugged and said, “Nothing. I just think you look even more pleasing to the eyes now.”     

Yue Yue squinted her eyes and recalled their conversation before rolling her eyes at Mu Chenyan. Just because she said ‘our family’ this woman was so pleased? Tsk. It was really difficult to understand Mu Chenyan who was dubbed as a tyrant by many.     

“Answer to your earlier question is, we took a 17th century artifact,” said Mu Chenyan. Her phone rang and she checked the messages before chuckling, “Elder Xiang said to buy you something nice. It seems, you’ll have to pick two things.”     

Yue Yue hugged herself before saying, ‘My son is right. You both have spoiled me too much. I don’t even think anything is wrong in letting you buy me something now.’     

“Who asked you to be the cutest person in our family?”     

‘I’m the cutest? Are you sure? What about the others?”     

“Have you looked at my nieces or my nephew? Even my godson just acts like an adorable bean. In truth, the only person who is genuinely cute is you.”     

Yue Yue was silent for a while before she asked, ‘Elder Xiang is meeting my parents today right?’         

“Why? Are you scared? Don’t be. I’ll protect you.”     

Yue Yue punched her arm but with her delicate wrists, it was more like playing around. How could that hurt Mu Chenyan’s thick skin? It didn’t even tickle!     

‘I’m not scared. I just think I can close a chapter today. I’d have nothing to do with that family anymore.’     

“If you don’t want to have anything to do with them, naturally, we’ll not let you have anything to do with them. They don’t deserve a daughter like you. You just be filial to me in the future. I’ll be good to you.”     

‘Filial to you? Who are you? My mother?’     

Mu Chenyan tried to stop herself but still ended up saying cheekily, “Not your mother. But I can be your sugar mommy. Do you wanna try?”     

Yue Yue gaped at her in disbelief before her cheeks puffed up in anger. She looked around for something and ended up taking a cushion and hitting Mu Chenyan who just laughed in return at her blowing her top. It was always fun to tease this little girlfriend. She won’t deny it. It was her favorite thing to do. Who asked Yue Yue to give such interesting reactions?
