Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 600 - Encounter With A Ghost

"Where are my kids?!"

Just with that one roar, Cui Xukun placed his phone on the side and waited. It could be seen that the woman on the other side of the phone was still going on and on about something but Cui Xukun was counting minutes. Just as the five-minute mark hit, he picked up the phone and said, "Jie, I'll bring the kids after the dinner."

He wasn't a fool. He knew his sister was mad right now since he was supposed to babysit her kids but he took them out to have fun. Technically, that was also babysitting but he didn't tell his sister about it at all. She must be hopping mad since she didn't get to see her kids at home when she came back.

"Kun, are your wings hardening too much?" asked Cui Xuqing. "They were supposed to do their homework." Cui Xukun pursed his lips and didn't say anything. Cui Xuqing sighed heavily, "Don't let them eat anything too spicy. And don't give into them and buy ice cream at this time. They will upset their stomach."

Cui Xukun knew all these details well but he still interrupt his sister and let her continue. Once she finished her instructions, he said, "Jie, they are absolutely fine. Stop worrying so much."

"I can't help it," replied Cui Xuqing.

Cui Xukun tsked at her, "You're such a worrywart mother."

"What did you say?"

"I said, Jie, you're the best!"

Cui Xuqing almost rolled her eyes at his flattery and instructed, "Just bring them home right after dinner."

"Yes, boss!"

When he hung up the phone, he looked up at Cloe who was staring back at him. He smiled at her, "My sister worries a lot."

"She is a mother," said Cloe as she shrugged. "It's pretty normal."

"It's not actually," said Cui Xukun. He didn't continue this topic and looked at his nephew and niece, "Hurry up and finish your meal."

"Uncle, is mom very angry?" asked little Xena.

Cui Xukun chuckled, "Not really."

The twins visibly relaxed when he said that. To them, their uncle knew their mother best. If he said she wasn't as angry, then she definitely wasn't!

Right after the dinner, without any delay, he decided the take the twins back home before his sister's anger took off from the runway!

Getting the kids into the backseat, he opened the door for Cloe before running over to take the position of the driver. "Everyone, seatbelts on?"

"Yes!" came the twin's voice from behind.

He looked at Cloe and smiled cheekily, "Should I help you with yours?"

"I already am wearing it," she pointed at her seatbelt and he tsked at that.

He swerved the car and pull it out of the parking. Just as he was about to get on the main road, his eyes caught sight of someone and he instinctively stepped on the brakes.

Everyone was jerked ahead and Cloe looked behind at the kids, "Are you guys okay?"

"We're fine, pretty auntie!" said Sammy.

Cloe just smiled at them. Somehow she really became the pretty auntie from pretty sister within the day and she knew the credit for that definitely goes to Cui Xukun. But she was curious what he had said to convince the twins to call her auntie instead of sister.

"What happened?" she asked Cui Xukun.

He was in a daze and rolled down the window, pushing his head out, he looked out and still could see the back view of that familiar figure. He was stunned knowing that he wasn't mistaken earlier.

But his mind was still not completely into it. He was certain that he had just seen Tang Hebe but that wasn't the shocking part. What surprised him was the kid beside her. Cui Xukun's brows furrowed together as he was in deep thought.

"Kun!"

"Huh?" Cui Xukun snapped out of his daze and looked at Cloe. "What? What happened?"

"You should tell us, what happened? Why are you distracted? You sure you can drive like this?"

Cui Xukun was suddenly reminded of how abruptly he pressed on the brakes and looked guilty. "I'm so sorry! It was a mistake. I'll focus now."

"Is everything okay?" she asked in concern noticing the worry on his face.

"I am," he replied. "I'm just shocked."

"Shocked?" asked Cloe. "Why? Did you see a ghost?"

"Maybe I did," said Cui Xukun in a joking manner.

"Uncle, there are no ghosts," said little Xena from behind.

"Yes, mom says ghosts are not as scary as people," added Sammy.

Cloe looked at the twins in surprise, "Your mom is really teaching you both well."

The twins grinned at her, "That's what daddy says as well!"

Cui Xukun smiled at them and started the car again. His mind was wandering off but he still managed to pull it back and drive with focus. He had his girlfriend and his two lovable and adorable niece and nephew with him. He couldn't take a risk of being distracted on the busy road.

Cloe could tell that he had something on his mind but she didn't ask him since they had the kids with them. She continued to chat with the twins who still seemed to be full of energy. Cloe felt like her own energy had depilated after the whole day of running around with them but these kids were still as energetic as ever.

Ah! It was good to be young. She was too old now.

She really felt she was too old since her life was so much like an old lady. All she did was work. And after work, she had no activities for herself. It was still better now that she had a boyfriend otherwise since the time she started working for Raelle, she really was living like a working machine. She barely spent any time on herself.

That just reminded her, she had heard not even a peep from her Chief over the weekend. It was as if she vanished. It was very strange for Cloe who was used to hearing Raelle's voice almost every single day in the past 7 or so years. She really wondered what she was up to but then thinking about her Chief's husband, she dropped the thought.

She definitely didn't want to know what they were up to.
