Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 1190: [Bonus chapter] Avoid The Topic

"About whether you should marry Tang Hebe or not?"    

Xiang Weimin nodded, "So you do know."    

"I do," she responded.    

"What's your take on that?"    

"Does my take matter?" she asked. "It's your life. Your take should matter. Why are you even wind up in this? Focus on your own thoughts. And also, aren't you all getting ahead of yourself already? We still haven't cleared anything with Tang Hebe yet. Let's not be so forward now. Whether you wanna marry or not is out of the question. You should be asking if she will be willing or not."    

"No wonder, I didn't come in to see you all these days. Something told me that you'd dump a bucket of cold water on me."    

"Can't help it. I've always been good at pouring cold water at people."    

Xiang Weimin shook his head at her.    

"Get up," said Raelle.    

"What? Why?"    

"It's time to get off work," she answered.    

"Oh-okay," he responded and got up.      

He followed her out of the office and when he walked towards his own car, she followed behind him. Xiang Weimin gave her a look, "Why are you following me? Isn't your car over there?"    

"Why? You can't give me a lift? Haven't heard about the concept of carpooling? It's safe for the environment. Let's do our little part for the safety of the environment. After all, it's our own planet. We'll have to save it from ourselves. Or are you waiting to save it from aliens? You think aliens had been a threat to us all these years? No, it's always been us humans destroying the planet."    

"Just for a lift, you didn't have to say so much," said Xiang Weimin and even opened the door for her, "Get in."    

Raelle jumped into his jeep and looked around at the interior. It was rare for her to travel in such vehicles. After all, even if she was low-key all her life, she still grew up in luxury. So, this jeep was rather not so luxurious for someone like her. It was considered 'normal'. And she was interested in this 'normal' for a moment.    

Xiang Weimin looked at her behavior and didn't find anything wrong with it. He had already seen the car collection that his aunt had. Compared to that, his Jeep was really shabby. No wonder, Raelle looked like she entered a whole new world but seeing her like that, he had a smile on his lips.    

She looked like a curious kid and was so adorable that it melted his heart.    

He sighed to himself mentally thinking about the years he had missed in her growth. And that made him even more determined not to miss out on another day in Justin's life. He didn't mind the status at all. He just wanted to be there for his son.    

Although his job won't allow him to be around his son all the time, it didn't stop him from wishing at all.    

"Take a right turn from the next interchange," said Raelle to him suddenly.    

Xiang Weimin frowned, "That's not the way back home."    

"We aren't going home," she replied. "We're going to see your son."    

"Huh?" Xiang Weimin was dumbfounded. Thankfully, he was still a very stable and competent pilot so he didn't step on the brakes recklessly in the middle of the road to show the impact of those words on him. He still drove very stably but his eyes really described his mood.    

"Why? Don't wanna see your son? You didn't see him this week? Don't you miss him?"        

"I do miss him," answered Xiang Weimin honestly. "I miss him a lot. In fact, from the moment I learned he is my son, I've been replaying all our memories together. How we met and how we got close to each other instantly and so inexplicably. I'm still in disbelief that he is my son. But it's undeniable too."    

"I can deny it. He is a lot cuter than you," said Raelle. "If I allowed him to stay with you, would he also become a silent gourd like you?"    

"So? You want me to leave him with you so that he can master your blank face?"    

"Or else? You want Wai to be with him?" asked Raelle.    

"No way! I don't want my son to become a fool."    

"Does your sister know how high your opinion is regarding her?"    

"She knows," he answered. "I get to call her a fool. An idiot. And anything else since I have seen her worst. She can be such a crybaby. She really gave me a lot of headaches when she was younger. She'd either beat someone up for justice or bully the bully in their way. Even if she had the right reasons, she always did the wrong things. I always had to run behind her to wipe the mess for her."    

"I guess it's our family's tradition," said Raelle. "Brothers getting rid of messes for their sisters. You have learned it perfectly from your father. Isn't that good?"    

Thinking about how his father did the same for his aunt Yan, it was really similar. No wonder everyone said Wai was like Aunt Yan. Both gave headaches to their brothers.    

"Well, at least, Aunt Yan never came crying because of a heartbreak to Dad and took him drinking for a night," said Xiang Weimin. "Wai is such a bad drinker but she still insists on drinking once she is in pain."    

"You lent her the shoulder that's why she came to you. Why else would she come to you?"    

"I sometimes wonder what would it be like if the three of us could grow up together," he commented.    

Raelle didn't comment on that and said, "Take a left from here. Just go straight for a while now. We'll reach there soon."    

Xiang Weimin sighed softly when she avoided the topic.
