Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 454 - Little Arrogant

"You're treating me like a little kid again," commented Hyson with a smile on his lips.

"You are our family's little kid," replied Mu Chenyan. "It won't be changing anytime soon. It's hard for me to see Raelle as a little kid even when she was a kid. But it'd be different with you. I can feel the satisfaction of raising a cute little bunny with you."

"So, I'm used for your amusement?" Hyson gasped at her.

Mu Chenyan hit his head gently, "Shut up! I don like people questioning my intentions."

Hyson smiled at her and nodded. Then he recalled something and stood up, "I'll be right back." As he ran past his mother who was coming downstairs, he didn't even stop to say hello.

Yue Yue looked at his receding figure and frowned before looking at Mu Chenyan, 'What's up with him? And why is he awake so early in the morning?' she was more baffled to see her son awake at this time rather than his odd behavior of running off like that.

"He had a nightmare and couldn't seem to sleep," told Mu Chenyan.

'A nightmare?' Yue Yue's frown deepened. 'How can he be bothered by nightmares at this age?'

Mu Chenyan looked deeply at her, "Age has nothing to do with the fears we keep in our hearts. If anything, with age, those fears become a part of us."

It didn't take long for Hyson to ran back down but this time he carried something in his hands. He passed one shopping bag to Mu Chenyan and the other to his mother saying, "Ellie sent these for you two. Last night, I didn't find you two when I came back from her place."

He had to say, his assumption had turned out to be true in the end. Raelle did use him as an errand boy. She had passed these shopping bags to the housekeeper and had asked him to give it to Hyson when he was leaving.

Both the ladies opened their gifts and shook their heads.

'Why is she wasting money over these again?'

Hyson looked at his mother saying, "If there is anyone who has the right to waste money, that's Ellie. Don't worry about her. This much money is gonna be back in her bank account in the blink of an eye. Don't forget that she never takes a loss."

Obviously, both the ladies knew that as well and they were also happy to receive these gifts from Raelle. It just showed that no matter how far she was, she'd always have them in her heart. It was her way of letting them know that she never forgets them. And these gestures were a lot more touching than any words.

Yue Yue knocked on Hyson's head, 'Learn something from her. She always keeps me in her heart. What about you?'

"Why are you comparing her with me?" retorted Hyson as he rubbed his head. "She is rich. I'm a pitiful little bunny. How can we be the same? How can our way of showing love be the same?"

Mu Chenyan chuckled at his response, "Aiyo, Yue! Stop nagging. Our Fai doesn't need to buy all these things. If he did, I'll get a headache. I already have a headache with all the things Elle has got me. I don't even wear jewelry all that much. It's still good for you who likes beautiful things."

'I do like beautiful things,' was Yue Yue's response. 'As a woman, how can one not care about how one looks? It's every woman's dream to look beautiful.'

Mu Chenyan patted her shoulder as if encouraging her, "Yes, yes, you keep making your dreams come true. Leave me out of it."

Yue Yue glared at her, 'If you won't use this stuff, it'd hurt Raelle's feelings.'

Mu Chenyan sighed out, "It's not like I didn't try using this stuff. I wore those small diamond studs she once got me but I'm a rough person. I don't even know where I lost one of those. Isn't it better for me to keep them safe rather than losing them left and right?"

'Careless!'

"Thanks for the compliment!" responded Mu Chenyan happily, not feeling bad about her comment at all. There was nothing to feel bad about, although she seemed like a responsible and careful person, she had her movements of carelessness. Especially with things like jewelry and accessories. At most, she'd use this stuff if there was an event but then again, she rarely attended such things.

As Yue Yue threw her a look, she left to do her own stuff leaving Mu Chenyan standing with Hyson.

"Fai, thank you for this!"

"Why are you saying thanks to me? I didn't buy it," replied Hyson.

"But you delivered it to me," said Mu Chenyan. "I should give you credit where it's due."

"I don't think I deserve that credit though," he suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.

Mu Chenyan fixed his hair that she dried earlier as she told him, "Don't let your nightmares intimidate you. Your godmother doesn't like tears in your eyes. So, next time, call me out! I'll fight all the monsters in your nightmares."

Hyson ended up laughing out loud at her words. He felt like she was really looking at him like he was a little kid. Why else would she say something like that? It truly amused him but also warmed his heart.

"If you keep loving me this much," started Hyson. "I might become a little arrogant."

"It's okay," replied Mu Chenyan as she squeezed his cheeks. "I can afford your arrogance. Have faith in your godmother. I was quite a legend in my days."

Hyson opened his arms and hugged her tightly. Taking in her scent, he closed his eyes briefly. She smelled like something sweet that he couldn't seem to name. It was her signature scent for as long as he could remember. And it was her signature hug as well which always seemed to make his heart relax and remind him that he wasn't alone.. She was there to protect him.
