Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 655 Mama Bear

Chapter 655 Mama Bear

For the first time tonight, Raelle seemed interested and no one would have ever thought that her interest would be caught by Zhai Kuijun. Even Raelle never thought of that but it actually was happening.

Before this moment, Raelle had actually never spared Zhai Kuijun a second glance if she wasn't needed to do so. It wasn't like she only got to know Zhai Kuijun because he was Zhai Yanjun's father. She had already known him. Even if the knowledge only came from occasionally seeing him at business conferences abroad.

And from her understanding of him, he was a very depressed man. He was stern, uptight, and a little reserved. That was also the reason when she first learned about the connection between him and Yue Yue, she wondered how her family's sweet Mama Yue fell in love with such a man? And where did Hyson's dramatic personality come from?

Now, she didn't have to think about it anymore. It was too obvious! Those dramatic genes were all thanks to Zhai Kuijun.

Raelle gave him all her attention as she mentioned, "My Opa says it's not nice to purposely ignore someone. Yes, your ex-father-in-law might be upset with you but that is no reason to avoid him like this. What can he possibly do to you here? At most, he'll glare at you. I think you're a big man. You can handle that glare."

See? That way of her talking. Zhai Kuijun somehow really liked it. And it wasn't like he was talking to her for the very first time but tonight, he felt different from the inside. So, perhaps, that was really influencing his mindset.

"Kid, you're all about what your grandfather says," he commented. "Just like your father. He also loves to quote your father's words at every turn of life." Shaking his head, he added, "It's not that I don't dare go over to greet him. It's just that he is old and sick, I don't want his blood pressure to shoot. What if I got him hospitalized? I don't want that."

"You seem to care about him."

"Well, the one I divorced is their daughter. And no matter what kind of differences we had, it has nothing to do with them."

"So, you don't blame them for not teaching their daughter well?"

Zhai Kuijun shook his head, "No way. Why should I play the blame game? It was I who was blind to not seeing the obvious flaws in her even before the marriage. I can't possibly blame anyone else for that."

Raelle gave him a thumbs-up, "You're officially out of my unwanted people's list."

Zhai Kuijun gasped, "Oh my! Such an honor! How am I supposed to take in all this happiness all at once?"

"Have you always been like this Mr. Zhai or does the divorce really do something to you?"

Zhai Kuijun shrugged, "I was always like this. At least, once upon a time, I was. And you aren't the only one surprised here. Even I am. I always thought it was difficult to talk to you but tonight, you seem very approachable."

Raelle looked at Cloe and asked, "Is that the reason so many people had been approaching me tonight?"

Cloe smiled sheepishly and nodded her head. It was indeed true that her boss looked rather approachable tonight, unlike her usual self. Even she couldn't tell what was different about her. Maybe it was the white dress she wore that made her seem so innocent and adorable.

She really looked like a white weak rabbit whom anyone could bully.

Well, some have tried to bully but none could succeed until now. She didn't even realize that she just jinxed this night and her boss as well right at this moment.

Zhai Kuijun said a few more things to Raelle that Cloe didn't listen to because she was lost in her own world. But she did hear the last sentence, "Raelle, come over to our house sometime for dinner."

"Why? You're hosting a dinner party in celebration of your divorce?"

Zhai Kuijun chuckled at that, "You can count it as one." He shook his head, "You have a good sense of humor."

Seeing him leaving her side, Raelle muttered, "But I wasn't even joking."

Cloe almost rolled her eyes at this exchange. Of course, Raelle wasn't joking but how would others know that she was being serious about something like celebrating a divorce? Well, most people wouldn't celebrate such a thing. After all, it marked the end of someone's relationship, their years of the bond, and their memories.

"President Raelle!"

At this point, even Cloe wasn't surprised that there was still someone looking for Raelle. But when she looked at Tang Hebe who had called out to Raelle, she couldn't help raising her brow in interest.

She definitely wasn't expecting this person to approach Raelle.

"Yes?" replied Raelle.

Tang Hebe pursed her lips as she looked at Raelle and then her eyes moved to Cloe who was standing beside her. She still pushed herself to speak up, "Can we talk? Alone?"

"No!" This response came from Cloe who stood in front of Raelle and blocked her with her body. She looked like a protective mama bear. It was actually funny how the same person who always cursed Raelle in her mind was now acting all so protective.

"I..." Tang Hebe's lips parted but nothing really came out after that one syllable. She didn't expect to be rejected so bluntly. No, she was expecting to be rejected but she thought the rejection would be subtle. Who knew Cloe wasn't playing by the rules?

Raelle tapped on Cloe's shoulder from behind and said, "Thank you for your concern, Cloe! But I can take care of myself. You can just have fun. I'll be right back."

"But Chief..." Cloe looked unwilling to leave Raelle with Tang Hebe alone.

Even if she had gained a new understanding of Tang Hebe, she still didn't let her guard down. She was also bound by her habits.
