Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 1201 Crying Brings Trouble

1201  Crying Brings Trouble

The first thing Cloe heard was the sound of crying when she entered the door which startled her. She looked at Cui Xukun who was standing beside her with an inquisitive look but Cui Xukun was also baffled and didn't know what was going on here.

Lately, Cloe spent most of her free time with Cui Xukun and that meant her visits to Soren's house have increased too. Not because she was getting closer to her old friend, Soren. But because this friend Soren had such adorable kids Cloe couldn't resist them.

And they were here again to Little Sammy and Xena. But who knew they'd be given a shock as soon as they entered?

"Let's go in first to figure out what's going on," said Cui Xukun calming himself and his girlfriend at the same time. You know he wasn't as calm as he pretended to be because he recognized the voice. It was his sister who was crying and it was piercing his heart right now.

He loved his sister Cui Xuqing so much, how could he be calm when his sister was crying so heartbreakingly? He had never heard his sister crying like that. No, it'd be right to say that a woman like Cui Xuqing who was known as an iron lady didn't shed tears uselessly. She wasn't the type to break down easily.

So, that meant something serious happened to make her break down like this. Just thinking about the possibilities made him sweat in fear.

He walked inside and found Little Sammy and Xena hiding behind the wall as they peeked into the living room from where the sound of crying was coming from. Cloe placed her hand on Sammy's head who looked back and his worried eyes brightened up. He tugged to make Cloe lean down as he whispered, "Don't make a sound. Mom and Dad are in a very strange situation."

"Are they fighting?" asked Cui Xukun.

Sammy shook his head, "No. It doesn't seem like a fight. It seems more like a one-sided beating."

"Huh?" Cloe raised her brow at him.

"Look," Sammy pointed at his parents.

Cloe also peeked inside and found that Sammy wasn't wrong. It was truly a one-sided beating. And the one being beaten was Soren while Cui Xuqing kept crying and hitting him with the cushion as she repeated, "It's all your fault. It's all your fault!"

She was sitting on the sofa while Soren was on his knees on the floor right in front of her.

Soren didn't even resist for a moment but kept trying to calm his wife, "I know. I know it's my fault. But wife, can you calm down? It's not good for your health. It's really not good for your health. What if you hurt your wrist? Don't be impulsive. And stop crying. It's hurting me more seeing to cry like this."

"Do you even care about me? If you did why the hell did you do it in the first place," shouted Cui Xuqing.

"It wasn't my intention. Believe me!"

Cloe found this situation rather... bizarre. No matter how she looked at it, it didn't seem like a fight to her. Even though Cui Xuqing was hitting Soren, there was no force applied. And Cui Xuqing didn't look all that angry too.

Cloe had a habit of observing before coming to a conclusion like Raelle but Cui Xukun was hot-headed. He didn't care about the minor details as he strutted in and pulled up Soren from the ground and punched him in the face. "How dare you hurt my sister? Didn't you promise to take care of her for life? How dare you let her down? How could you cheat on her?!"

Soren licked the blood off his torn lip and stared at Cui Xukun as if he was looking at a fool.

"I kept my promise," he replied. "When did I cheat on her? Which bastard said it?"

Cloe soothed the kids who were worried seeing their father hurting and wanted to come in. They didn't bother when their parents were having their 'fight' but they really wanted to go in to get justice for their father but Cloe stopped them.

"You both should go upstairs to your room," said Cloe.

"Auntie, daddy didn't cheat on mom. It's impossible," said Sammy.

"Yes! Impossible!" agreed Xena with her brother and repeated after him like a parrot. She was really her brother's little tail.

"I know," said Cloe. "I know Soren very well. He can never cheat. I understand that. It's your uncle who is making a scene. You both don't get involved in adults's matters. Just go up and do your own thing. I'll handle it here."

"But mom is crying."

"I'll solve it."

Both the siblings stayed silent for a moment before agreeing with her. They still had trust in this aunt. So, they listened to her and went up. After all, their parents wouldn't want them there either.

"You're still denying?" Cui Xukun raised his hand to hit again but Cui Xuqing held him back.

"Why are you so reckless? Who told you to hit my husband? Is this what I taught you? Is this the way to respect your elders? It's your brother-in-law. Do I need to remind you of that? How did he treat you over the years? Who gave you the right to touch him? Who gave you the courage?!"

Cui Xukun was deflated when he saw his sister defending his brother-in-law. Wasn't he doing that for her? Why was he the one being disciplined?

Before he could say anything, Cloe came to his side and said, "You are really hot-headed. Do you even understand the situation? Does it even look like Soren cheated on your sister? If it had happened, don't you think your sister would have already kicked his ass? Do you think your sister can't fight for herself?"

"Even you're scolding me? What did I do wrong?" Cui Xukun really felt wronged right now. No one was on his side. Neither his sister nor his girlfriend. Why was he so pitiful?

"Are you feeling wronged?" asked Cloe. "Did you ask Soren how he is feeling? You just accused him Cui Xuqing chuckled, "We don't have a washboard."

without any basis. Even when you know very well how much he loves your sister." She bumped his shoulder and pointed at Soren and Cui Xuqing. "Does that seem like he cheated on your sister?"

Cui Xukun looked at them and was baffled. Cui Xuqing touched Soren's torn lips and asked in distress, "Is it hurting? Painful? Why didn't you dodge? Don't you know how to move? How can you just stand there and take the beating? Are you an idiot?"

Soren looked at her dotingly and said, "It doesn't hurt as much as seeing your cry like that. Will you please stop? I was wrong. I accept that. But don't hurt yourself like this because of my mistake."

"It's not your mistake," said Cui Xuqing. "I'm just a little too emotional. Sorry for hitting you."

"It doesn't hurt at all. If you want, I'll kneel on the washboard for you."

Cui Xuqing chuckled, "We don't have a washboard."

"I'll find one," he said in response.

"There is no need for that," said Cui Xuqing.

"So, I became the bad guy here?" asked Cui Xukun in confusion.

"Yes," replied Cloe. "This is why you shouldn't get involved when a couple is fighting. Or you'll become the bad guy. And in the case, you are really wrong."

"Sorry, brother-in-law," said Cui Xukun. As long as he was quiet, they ignored his existence but as soon as he spoke up, it reminded Cui Xuqing that the culprit was still here.

She looked around and when she could find anything, she took off the slippers from her foot to hit her brother. Fortunately for Cui Xukun that Soren held her back saying, "Let's not use that. Cloe is here too."

Seeing Cloe, Cui Xuqing reluctantly put down her slipper but still glared at her brother, "Tell me? Are you a fool? I thought you changed your habit of having such a stinky temper. What is wrong with you? Without clearing anything, you still hurt my husband?"

"Sister, I did it for you. You know how much I love you. How can I see you crying? It broke my heart. The blood rushed up to my head and I couldn't think."

"You think that's a good enough excuse for you to start a fight? I'm so disappointed in you right now, Cui Xukun!"

As Cui Xuqing used his full name it actually made Cui Xukun shudder in fear. You see, he had been disciplined by his sister growing up and the fear of her was deep rooted in his bones. Just like how the love for his sister was soaked in his bone marrow.

"I'm sorry, sister," said Cui Xukun. "I didn't mean it."

"Your sorry is not very helpful right now," said Cui Xuqing angrily. She had long forgotten to cry by now. Who cared about crying when her husband was being wronged by her own brother? Besides, this situation came because of her crying. She tsked to herself. Crying never helped it only brought more trouble to her.
