Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 1095: Do Tell

Mu Chenyan looked back at Hyson and frowned when she saw his pouty face. He looked like a kid who had been greatly wronged. She felt like laughing but decided not to since she knew Hyson would blow his top if she really laughed at him right now.     

"What's wrong my little darling?"     

"Are you sure I'm still your little darling?" Asked Hyson.     

"How can that ever change?"      

Hyson pointed towards Xiang Weimin who was holding Justin up in his arms as Justin's little arms were wrapped around his neck. It seemed Justin was truly unwilling to get down once he was held up. Usually, he'd try to be a big kid and not be a burden to his mother but he felt no such scruples when it came to Xiang Weimin.      

"I'm being dethroned!"     

This time Mu Chenyan burst out laughing at him. Hyson puffed up his cheeks unwillingly when he saw her acting like this and hmphed as he looked away refusing to even look at her right now.     

"Sorry, sorry! I couldn't control it," said Mu Chenyan as she wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. She laughed so much that tears were coming out now. This was so surprising. Then she stepped up and pinched Hyson's cheeks as she said, "You're my one and only godson in this world. Who can dethrone you? You will always be the little prince of our family." She took a pause before adding, "But seriously, don't you feel bad about even fighting with a little kid?"     

"No, I don't," retorted Hyson. "Why should I feel bad about it? I'm just that childish and petty. Don't you already know? Although I quite like that cutie, I won't let him take away my godmother."     

"So possessive. Why aren't you this possessive about your own mother? Someone already took her."     

Hyson turned to find his mother and actually found her on the dance floor with Zhai Yanjun which made his brows furrow up a little but then she shrugged, "I can't argue with her. I can only do it with you." Taking a pause, he added, "Although I'm a little unwilling to lose my position as the youngest baby of the family, that cutie is still my nephew. Do something and bring him back home. Does it even look right that our family's child is wandering around the world like this?"     

Mu Chenyan smiled lovingly at Hyson and patted his head, "Don't worry. We won't let that happen. You'll get your nephew soon and then you can pamper him all you want."     

"Who said I want to pamper him?" Hyson was still stubbornly denying it.      

Mu Chenyan shook her head and said, "Do you think I don't know how much you like kids? Just earlier I saw you with Soren's twins. Also, you looked so close to little Rowan too. I never knew my little prince was so good with kids."     

Hyson chuckled, "Maybe it's because we all are kids. I feel like I've found my companions."     

"Shameless."     

Hyson grinned, "I learned it all from you." Leaving this aside, he held Mu Chenyan's arm and said, "I can't believe that you didn't dance with me. My Yanyan is looking stunning tonight. How can you not dance with me?"     

"Don't you dislike dancing the most?" Asked Mu Chenyan. "Even after becoming an idol, your most hateful thing is dancing."     

"That's different. I can definitely dance with you."     

"Well, I don't want to. Do you think I haven't seen how many girls have gone to ask you for a dance and got rejected? What if they all threw daggers at me with their eyes? I better stay out of their radar."     

Hyson gaped at her, "And when did my Yanyan become scared of anyone or anything? Tell me the truth, your heels are not comfortable, right?"     

Mu Chenyan gritted her teeth and sighed, "You! Why can't you just take my word for it? Okay, I accept. My heels just bit me. It's really not comfortable."     

"Then why did you wear it?"     

"Because Yue said it looks good."     

Hyson was silent for a while when he heard that and pulled her to sit down at a chair as he said, "You need to learn to say no to my mum. You can't always follow her whims."         

Then crouched down to take off her heels and looked at the blisters. He shook his head.     

"Fai, you should listen to your own advice. Haven't you also been following your mum's whims all this while? Sometimes, you should do what you want to do. Doesn't it feel strange that you don't have a dream of your own?"     

"Dreams are for people who lack something in life. I don't lack anything. Even if I do, I have the omnipotent Godmother named Mu Chenyan who is like my fairy godmother and can make anything possible. Why should I dream then?"     

"You and your sweet mouth. Why don't you use this sweet mouth to coax some girl and find a girlfriend?"     

Hyson looked up at her, "You usually don't ask me to find a girlfriend. Besides, only you think I have a sweet mouth, others say I usually spit out sweet poison."     

Mu Chenyan laughed at that.     

*Cough*     

The sound of cough made both Mu Chenyan and Hyson look back. They saw Zhai Kuijun and didn't react for a moment.     

"Anything we can help you with, Mr. Zhai?" Asked Mu Chenyan.     

Zhai Kuijun looked at Hyson and said, "I was wondering if I could have a moment with Yue Fai."     

Mu Chenyan didn't say anything and instead looked at Hyson. She didn't think she needed to get involved unless Hyson wanted her to get involved. For now, she'd just sit back and watch.      

These weeks she had clearly been observing Zhai Kuijun and her hostility was actually not as much as it was initially. Now, she actually understood better what position this man had in Yue Yue's heart.      

"Fai," called out Mu Chenyan. "What do you think?"     

Hyson who had been running from this man all night, finally stopped running and stood up as he said, "Okay. Let's find a place to talk then."     

Zhai Kuijun visibly breathed a sigh of relief and took him aside. After coming to a side, he didn't say anything first. He just stared at Hyson's face. The more he looked, the more he felt like he must be an idiot to not see the obvious signs. With Hyson's similarity with Zhai Yanjun, it'd be surprising if they weren't brothers.     

"I don't know where to begin."     

"Then should I go? You can first think about it and then call me over."     

Zhai Kuijun shook his head, "No, wait. I... You already know what I want to say, right? That's why you'd been hiding from me."     

"The reason I was hiding is that I just felt uncomfortable facing you. I didn't know what to say or how to react. And when I don't know the answers, I usually avoid the situation."     

"Did you always know I was your... Father?"     

"No," replied Hyson. "Mum wanted to tell me but I wasn't interested in learning about a man who played no part in my life except for providing the means to bring me into this world. But you see, I have keen observation skills. When I first met you, I already had the answer without searching for it."     

"Do you hate me? For making your mom suffer?"     

Hyson shook his head, "I don't think I have the right to hate you. You didn't do anything to me. My mom suffered mostly because of her own choices. It was little to do with you and more to do with her own insecurities and cowardice."      

Zhai Kuijun was surprised to hear this coming from Hyson. He already knew how this boy was protective of his mother and what she meant to him.      

"You're a very smart boy," commented Zhai Kuijun. "And a very good boy too. It's surprising to see how clear you are about everything at such an age. I wish I was so clear when I was your age."         

"That's why it's surprising for me too that I have your genes. After all, I don't think I got my smartness from you or my mum. If I did, I might have been eaten by wolves by now."     

"Ouch!" Responded Zhai Kuijun. "You really don't hold back, do you?"     

"Did I say something wrong? You and my mum both got played by the same woman and ruined your lives. Should I call you smart? It'd be an insult to smart people. I'm sorry to offend you but you both really make me wonder from whom did I get my brain. I am unwilling to believe it came from you two."     

Zhai Kuijun chuckled at that, "I can't even argue with you. In fact, I don't want to argue with you."     

"Why? You think if you won't argue and give in, it'd be easier for me to accept you?"     

"I know you don't want to accept me. I'm very clear about that. And I'm not here to force you or convince you otherwise. It's just that I wanted to see you. It's my first time looking at you as my son. It's definitely different than the last time we saw each other."
