Master's Untamed Wife

Shui Xian had noticed the way Raelle communicated with Mother Yue, but he didn't dare show anything on his face. And neither did he question anything regarding that. Although a question did pop up in his mind, he didn't voice it.

While Mother Yue unlocked the door of the house and invited them inside, Shui Xian placed the gifts on a table saying, "These are some presents my father sent for you."

Mother Yue raised her brows at him and only now looked at him clearly. For a minute, she continued to stare at his face intently and her daze was only broken when Raelle introduced him, "He is my husband, Shui Xian. And she is Hyson's gorgeous mother, Yue."

"It's really nice to meet you," said Shui Xian with a polite smile on his face.

And seeing that smile on his face, Mother Yue's eyes widened ever so slightly in surprise which hid almost instantly before she hurriedly smiled back at him and nodded as if greeting him back. She looked at Raelle and through the hand signs conveyed her words, 'There was no need for so many things.'

Raelle looked at the gifts they brought and said, "You should say it to Bà. He insisted that we take something. But don't worry, we didn't buy any of that. All of this is homemade."

"Also, it's not good to go empty-handed to pay respects to the elders," Shui Xian added as well.

Mu Chenyan bumped her shoulder with Mother Yue as she proudly said, "See? Isn't our family's son handsome and perfect?"

Mother Yue shook her head at Mu Chenyan but she did agree with her words as well. Just one look was enough to leave a good impression on her. She asked the newlyweds to take a seat in the living room while she took the grocery bags to the kitchen. Mu Chenyan had already delivered the bags she was carrying to the kitchen and ran back to see her Raelle.

"My baby girl, how are you?" she asked while grinning mildly at Raelle. Seeing the single rose in her hand, she asked, "Did you bring this one for me? Even though you gave Yueyue a bouquet, I'm happy with just one flower from you."

Raelle held her rose tightly as she said, "It's not for you."

"Huh?" Mu Chenyan pouted at her, "Why not?"

"My husband gave it to me. So, it's mine. I'm protective about what's mine," replied Raelle with a straight face. "Go and ask for a rose from your husband."

Mu Chenyan crossed her arms over her chest as she said, "But I don't have a husband!"

"Exactly," was Raelle's response that left Mu Chenyan speechless. Her baby girl just taunted her?

"It seems like you stopped caring about me after getting married," said Mu Chenyan in an aggrieved manner.

"Why should I care about a liar?" retorted Raelle.

Mu Chenyan stared at her face. "Liar? What did I lie about? I have never lied to you about anything. That fight outside was out of my control. I grew up in Army Barracks, my sense of justice tends to rage occasionally."

"Whoever you beat is none of my concern," said Raelle. "If you even murder someone, I'd know you have a genuine reason to do so. I'll never question you!" Mu Chenyan was touched by those words but instantly felt cold the next second when she added, "But I don't like lies." Saying that Raelle held Mu Chenyan's hand that still had a bandaid on it. "I thought you only wanted to take a break and stay with Yue. But it seems you're really hiding here. Because no one ever told me you got injured."

Mu Chenyan pursed her lips before she hurriedly explained, "Elle, it's not what you think. I wasn't lying. I was gonna tell you about this but after I get better. I didn't want to worry anyone because of these small scratches. It's no big deal at all."

"A lie is a lie," said Raelle. "You can never justify it."

Mother Yue came back with a tray of snacks and tea. She placed it down on the coffee table and held Raelle's hand as she led her to the fabric sofa and made her sit. She looked at Shui Xian and gestured for him to sit down already as well.

Only after Raelle sat down, did Mother Yue told Raelle, 'She didn't lie. She was avoiding talking to you because she didn't have the courage to lie to you. So, don't blame her. She might start crying.'

Raelle looked at Mu Chenyan's face and said, "Don't open the gate of your endless tears! I really don't like it."

Mu Chenyan made a face at her before rubbing her head and said, "I won't cry as long as you're around." After getting over her sadness instantly, Mu Chenyan grinned at Shui Xian and said, "Son-in-law, you better not mention what you saw to Elder Xiang."

Although she had a smile on her face, Raelle still caught on to her words as she asked, "Did you just threaten my husband?"

Mu Chenyan tapped Mother Yue's shoulder and dragged her saying, "Yue, let's prepare something for lunch. It's getting late."

Mother Yue shook her hands off before saying to Raelle to word out her message to Shui Xian that Raelle obediently did, "She is saying, treat this place like your home and be comfortable. Enjoy the snacks while we prepare the meal."

"Thank you!" said Shui Xian as he smiled at her softly.

As both ladies ran off to the kitchen, Raelle and Shui Xian were left alone in the living room. Raelle comfortably picked up a cookie and munched on it while Shui Xian was still lost in thought. He finally asked, "Is your Yanyan always this rough?"

Raelle shook her head, "Nope. She has only shown me her gentle, cautious, and loving side."

"So, are you surprised to see her like this?" he questioned.

Raelle shook her head again, "I've heard better stories about her intense days."

Shui Xian's brows jumped up and he slid up to her side and asked curiously, "What kind of stories? I'm intrigued now."
