Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 365 - Kids

Mu Chenyan didn't walk inside the house. She sat down on the stairs right before the main door and looked at the sky with her eyes lost in thoughts.

Since she sat down, Yue Yue also sat beside her and continued to sit in silence. She looked at the side of Mu Chenyan's face and realized that she was actually crying right now. It startled Yue Yue for a moment.

She tapped Mu Chenyan's shoulder to get her attention, and when the latter looked at her, she asked, 'You're really crying?'

Mu Chenyan wiped her tears saying, "I guess I am."

'Where is the strong Mu Chenyan I know?'

Mu Chenyan chuckled at that, "Even strong people have their weak moments. Or you can say even strong people have someone who can make them feel weak once in a while." She breathed out through her mouth as she went on, "I just never thought my weakness would turn out to be a little girl." She looked at Yue and told her, "From a young age, I have always done things my way. No one dictated my life. The people I call family never told me that I had to walk in a straight line to reach my destination. In fact, Elder Xiang always said it's okay for me to take my time and take some detours in life. He said it'll allow me to know what destination I really want to reach."

She buried her face in her hands as she continued, "I always thought I was fearless. I did things recklessly. But it changed with Raelle. That little girl became my weakness before I even knew it. The me who always thought she was fearless began to feel scared. I never cared about my life and did things purely for the thrill of it. But after Raelle came into my life, I wanted to plan things out. Because I was scared that if something happened to me, what'd happen to my Elle?"

She breathed in the cool night breeze, "Tonight, I suddenly felt like the girl who made me realize what fear was, has actually grown up."

'She grew up a long time ago,' was Yue's response. 'Did you just realize it?'

Mu Chenyan shook her head, "It's not that I just realized it. It just hit me way too hard tonight for some reason."

'It's strange,' said Yue to Mu Chenyan.

"What is?"

'Two kids changed our lives,' answered Yue. 'And changed us too.'

Mu Chenyan's brows knitted up.

'With Raelle, you learned how to feel scared,' said Yue. 'And with my Fai, I learned how to be strong. I had always been a weak character. Unlike you, I was always scared of doing what my heart wished for. I have lost a lot because of this habit. And I have many regrets because of that as well. But in my Fai, I finally found my strength. And he made me realize that the things I always thought were scary weren't so much. It was all just in my head.' She looked at Mu Chenyan and added, 'That's why I said, two kids changed our lives in a very different way.'

"But would you have it any other way?" asked Mu Chenyan. "Because I don't want to have it any other way."

'Me neither,' was Yue's answer.

Mu Chenyan hugged her shoulder and smiled at her.

Unbeknownst to them, Hyson had been standing not so far away from them for a while now. From the moment, they came back he had been watching them. And he even heard everything they talked about. There was a small smile at the corner of his lips that he couldn't get rid of.

He really wanted to go over to hug these two ladies but he held himself back. He didn't want to intrude on these two best friends.

Hyson didn't know whether he and Raelle were really brought strength or weakness to these two gorgeous ladies. But he was certain about one thing, he and Raelle would have never turned out to be what they were if it was not for these two. The way they unconditionally loved them was admirable.

Whether it was Hyson or Raelle, their presence was completely unexpected for both Yue and Mu Chenyan. And yet these two women didn't abandon them like the rest of the world abandoned them.

He silently went back inside the house from the back door and went to his room.

Meanwhile, Mu Chenyan pulled Yue up as they also decided to go back inside since it was already quite late now. "Oh, by the way, since you're making Elle's wedding gown, let me know if you need my help. I'll do everything you ask me to."

'You?' Yue had a suspicious look on her face as she looked at Mu Chenyan.

"Of course, what's wrong with me?"

Yue shrugged her shoulders, 'I'm just afraid you'll ruin everything.'

"Am I so bad?" questioned Mu Chenyan.

Yue nodded her head, 'You are. At least when it comes to things like this.'

Mu Chenyan glared at her, "Fine, fine! But I can help you with getting the material and fabric and stuff."

Yue thought about it and agreed, 'That I'll need your help with for sure.'

Mu Chenyan felt good when she heard that, "I still can't believe my Elle is getting married. When did she grow up so much?"

Yue slapped the back of her head and reminded her, 'She is already married!'

Mu Chenyan rubbed the back of her head saying, "It's different. Don't you get it?"

'I don't,' was Yue's response. And before Mu Chenyan could start explaining her nonsensical logic, she went on, 'And I'm not interested in getting it either.'

"You're so boring," grumbled Mu Chenyan.

Yue narrowed her eyes and picked up the cushion from the sofa and hit Mu Chenyan's head.

"Ouch! That hurts!"

Yue didn't care about her complaining and followed her upstairs as she continued to hit her while Mu Chenyan continued to try and avoid it.

Even Hyson ended up opening the door to look at what they were doing and was actually taken aback at the way they were acting like kids now.

"Fai Fai, help your Yanyan!" Mu Chenyan called out for help. "Your mum is gonna kill me tonight otherwise."

Hyson sighed out and shook his head at them, "Kids!" and closed the door again.
