Chapter 1161: Much Like Him

"I'm looking at you," answered Raelle calmly. "Why? I'm not supposed to look at you now?"         

    

Mu Chenyan's brows furrowed up a little when she heard that. "You can look all you want but I'm just curious. Aren't you tired of looking at me? What's there to look after all these years? Is there something new?"     

"New," responded Raelle. "I seem to see a whole new Yanyan right now. Can't you feel it yourself?"     

Mu Chenyan scratched her eyebrow and said, "I can't feel it at all. I thought I was the exact same as before."     

"Then you really don't see what I can see," said Raelle.     

Mu Chenyan chuckled, "Of course, I can't. How can anyone have the same perception as you?"     

"Really?" asked Raelle and looked at Xia Zhao who sat there straight without interrupting them but his eyes were set on Mu Chenyan all this while. "What about you, Uncle Zhao? Can you see what I can see in her right now?"     

Xia Zhao was a bit startled at being prompted to talk but he still nodded honestly, "I can see it."     

"What do you see?" asked Mu Chenyan in frustration. "What are you both even talking about? Tell me about it. Don't just keep it from me now."     

Both Xia Zhao and Raelle shared a look that exasperated Mu Chenyan even more. Why were people hiding things from her now? And especially these two?     

It was actually difficult for both Xia Zhao and Raelle to tell what was different about Mu Chenyan but they could tell it was different. This change wasn't in how she looked. It was the look in her eyes. It was inexplicable.     

"By the way, thank you, Uncle Zhao," Raelle changed the topic to stop Mu Chenyan from thinking about this for hours.     

"Why are you thanking him?" asked Mu Chenyan and even Xia Zhao raised his brow inquisitively at her.     

"For the calming incense you gave me last night," answered Raelle. "My husband likes it a lot. His sleep quality is much better now. He said he feels a lot lighter, relaxed, and energized after the sleep. And we didn't even use it for that long."     

Xia Zhao smiled at her, "I'm glad it helped. Tell me when you finish it and I'll send it to you again."     

"Why? Don't you know to send it without asking? Is this the way you're gonna court me by being like this to my dear Elle?"     

Xia Zhao looked at Mu Chenyan helplessly, "I didn't mean that. Okay, I'll send it to Raelle on time every month. Is that okay?"     

"Sounds better," said Mu Chenyan.     

Raelle had to say that she had never seen this unreasonable version of Mu Chenyan. And she didn't seem to think she was going overboard. It all seemed so natural to her that even Raelle was a bit surprised. This was the same Mu Chenyan who taught her to be reasonable in life and not do anything excessive.      

"I actually did want to ask for more," started Raelle. "But not for my husband but for my Bà. His sleep quality is really bad. And it's definitely not because of age, I understand that for sure."     

"It's because he had stopped going out and socializing with people," answered Mu Chenyan. "Shing Ge is very alone. He just wants to hide himself in the house. He stopped meeting any of his friends or anything. There should be some new activities in life. And don't say, he loves playing online games. I meant he needs to have some outdoor activities to improve his lifestyle. He is gonna get old very soon otherwise. Even my Elder Xiang has a better mindset and outlook on life than him."     

"You don't need to be so critical about my Bà now," said Raelle. "Understand him a bit. He isn't able to let go of a lot of things. It isn't his fault either."     

"I'll send you the incense," said Xia Zhao. "But Yan Zi is right. You should tell him to go out a little more. Fresh air is very helpful to people. Even if he goes for a walk to the park in the evening, it'd be very beneficial."     

"I'll do that," replied Raelle. "Why don't you tell me the cost of those incense? I don't feel comfortable taking it from you. Once or twice might be okay but I can't disturb you for so long."     

Xia Zhao smiled other, "But there is no cost."     

"How is that possible?" asked Raelle. "Everything has a cost."         

    

"But I grew the herbs in my own medicinal fields. How can there be a cost when the ingredients are all at home?"     

"Labor also needs cost," Raelle justified.     

"You're very persistent," said Xia Zhao. "But I can't take your money. I really don't lack it for sure. Besides, it's not like I'm gonna make it especially for you. I always prepare it for myself every month. So, there is no extra effort."     

"Yes, you don't lack money," agreed Raelle. Thinking of something, she looked at her Yanyan and said, "How about I offer my Yanyan to you? Won't that be the best deal?"     

"Hey!" Mu Chenyan suddenly jumped up. "How can you make a deal like this?"     

"Why? You aren't willing to be with him?" asked Raelle.     

"I..." Mu Chenyan opened her mouth and looking at Raelle and then looking at Xia Zhao, she couldn't go on and just sat back down, saying, "Go ahead. Sell me. At least, I am of some use to my Elle. My purpose of life will be complete if I am able to help you."     

"So emotional?"      

Mu Chenyan pursed her lips and sniffed, "Don't even ask."     

"Well, he didn't even say if he wants this deal? What if Uncle Zhao thinks I'm cheating on him?"     

Mu Chenyan glared at Xia Zhao, "You dare? Am I not worth the deal?"     

"I'm the most innocent person here," reminded Xia Zhao. "I didn't even say a word regarding this. How am I still being blamed for this?"     

"Because I can't blame her," whispered Mu Chenyan to him. "Understand?"     

Xia Zhao nodded in understand, "Understand. It's all me. I'm the one to blame."     

Raelle looked at these two and thought that if Mu Chenyan really married Xia Zhao, she'd be really happy. This man would really do anything for her. There was no doubt about that.     

Suddenly, Mu Chenyan turned to Raelle, "Just because I don't blame you for anything doesn't mean I'm not sad."     

"What did I do?" asked Raelle.     

"You went to look for him behind my back," told Mu Chenyan in dissatisfaction. "Did you have no faith in your Yanyan anymore?"     

Raelle understood instantly. It was about Chi Xirui's matter that she went to look for Xia Zhao and didn't tell Mu Chenyan. She did think that Mu Chenyan would be upset about this.     

"My first choice was always you, Yanyan," told Raelle. "It's just that you're focused on looking for Chi Xirui's past. While I wanted to know how she was connected to me. So, I didn't disturb you and looked for him instead. After all, Opa said he'd be able to whatever you are able to do. I have to test those words to see whether he is really capable or not."     

"How is he not capable?" asked Mu Chenyan. "He is very capable. You can never doubt his ability. Even if I hate him, I can't deny that he is too good."     

"So, you hate me?" asked Xia Zhao.     

"I said, if!" she retorted.     

Raelle wasn't surprised that she was complimenting Mu Chenyan. She might have a lot of bad words to say about Xia Zhao but she definitely won't allow others to do the same. Because who would know Xia Zhao's capability more than Mu Chenyan?     

"I wasted so much of your time," said Mu Chenyan. "What are you doing here? Tell my Elle what she wants to know. How can you make her wait? Do you think she has so much time to waste? She doesn't! Time is very important to her."         

    

"Yanyan," called out Raelle. "Relax. I have a lot of time for you."     

"You don't mind keeping your husband waiting?" asked Mu Chenyan.     

"It's okay. He can wait and he won't mind waiting either."     

Xia Zhao took out his phone to make a call and all of a sudden, the phone rang from within the living room. "Where is it ringing?" he asked.     

"Under the sofa," Raelle pointed out kindly to help him. Since she could tell better that the phone was ringing from under the sofa where she was sitting right now.     

Xia Zhao got down to take out the phone and looking at the phone, he almost lost him calm but recalling that it wasn't even surprising, he just let it. "What am I gonna do with this guy? He must have dropped it here last night but didn't know. Untol now, he doesn't know that his phone is missing. How very much like Young Master Ru!"
