Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 626 Biased Grandparents

Chapter 626 Biased Grandparents

Grandfather Zhai and Grandmother Zhai were surprised to see their son coming home with a huge smile on his face. They both were having tea while enjoying the company of each other in this old age when their son came to disturb them.

"How did you think of visiting your old parents?" questioned Grandfather Zhai sternly. He didn't show a good face to his only son. All his gentleness and patience were reserved for his wife and their dear grandson. As for this son, huh! It was already a miracle that he had never beaten him up. "And what's with that ugly smile? Put it away already! Don't scare the kids."

Zhai Kuijun's smile stiffened when he heard his father's comment but he chose to ignore it today. It didn't matter. He could definitely take this much. It wasn't the first time his father was so disdainful toward him. "Father, where are the kids? There are no kids who will be scared of my smile."

"But my old heart can't take it either," retorted Grandfather Zhai.

Grandmother Zhai lightly slapped the back of Grandfather Zhai's hand as she rebuked him, "Don't talk like that. It's rare to see our son in such a happy mood. So, just let him be."

Grandfather Zhai harrumphed but didn't say anything to anyone.

Grandmother Zhai looked at her son and asked, "But what has really gotten into you? Why do you look so happy? Did you hit a jackpot?"

"You can say that," was Zhai Kuijun's response. "I'm just very happy today. I feel so good that I feel like celebrating." Something clicked in his mind and nodded to himself, "Yes, let's celebrate today. Mother, call Yanjun back for dinner as well. I'll cook for everyone today."

"You're trying to celebrate or trying to poison us to death?"

Zhai Kuijun looked at his father, "Father, you don't have to be so skeptical about my intentions. I genuinely want to celebrate by cooking for you all. And don't worry, I might not be a fancy cook but my food is edible! I promise."

"I think I heard this before and the consequences weren't really pretty," said Grandfather Zhai with an ugly expression which made Zhai Kuijun feel embarrassed.

He could instantly recall what his father was talking about. The last time he had acted like this was when Zhai Yanjun's mother had accepted his proposal. He was so happy that he cooked dinner for his parents. The result? His parents almost had to visit the hospital. He didn't think his old black history will be dragged out at this age.

He coughed to hide his embarrassment and said, "I was young back then. I promise it isn't the same anymore. I've learned my lesson after all these years."

"I hope so," said Grandfather Zhai and picked up his phone to call his grandson. As soon as the call connected, he smiled gently and spoke softly, "Dear grandson, do you have time to have dinner with family tonight?"

"Sure," answered Zhai Yanjun. Although he didn't know why he was called back home for dinner, it didn't concern him. Lately, he was in an extremely happy mood. So, he didn't mind almost anything. He hadn't been home to see his grandparents in a while anyway. So, he'd just take this chance to meet them.

"Okay then we'll be waiting for you," replied Grandfather Zhai happily and hung up the phone. He looked up at his son who was looking at him with a sour look and said, "Jun will be home for dinner."

"How come you don't call me back home for dinner in such a nice manner?" asked Zhai Kuijun. "Scratch that! I should ask why you don't even talk to me that nicely? Am I not your son? Then why is your love so overflowing only when it comes to your grandson?"

"Didn't you hear that grandparents always are biased towards their grandchildren?" asked Grandmother Zhai. "And it's not like we abused you or anything. It's just that we love Jun a little more than you."

"A little?" Zhai Kuijun's lips twitched when he heard that. He didn't even want to comment on this. "Since the character, Jun is the same for me and my son, I'll just think you both are talking about loving me more."

"Whatever keeps you happy, son," said Grandmother Zhai. "Now, shoo already! When are you gonna cook? Don't waste time here."

"Just how tired are you both of me?" Zhai Kuijun didn't ask this question out loud but only sighed to himself helplessly before leaving his old parents in their own world. It was not like he wanted to stay around his parents who were still stuck to each other's hips at this age.

In fact, they were the reason he always had always looked forward to finding a loving partner to spend his life with. In his opinion, no matter how sticky and sweet his parents were, he had set them as his ideal couple. Only after marriage did he realize, that not everyone was as lucky as they were to find each other.

At least, he had the worst luck in this department. Looking at his friend, Xiang Hulin, he used to comfort himself that he wasn't the only one who had his marriage in shambles. But he soon realized that he was still the one losing. Because even when it came to Xiang Hulin and his wife, at least, they both loved each other a lot.

As for his wife, he wasn't even sure if she ever even liked him. Why was he blind to even believe that she liked him? Oh no, he was really blind to even fall for her in the first place. Exactly what did he like about her? Her gentleness? But he couldn't even remember if she had ever been gentle towards him since they got married.

What tragic love life he had. It wasn't a marriage but a tragedy! One that he didn't wish to repeat at all.
