Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 674 ’Lucky’ People

Chapter 674 'Lucky' People

Seeing how Mu Chenyan's tears fell, Raelle didn't know how to react. She was truly a little at a loss when it came to seeing crying people. Especially the ones she cared about. She might find those tears, troublesome, but it was a fact that she didn't like seeing tears in the eyes of people she called family.

But now, within the past 2 hours, she not only saw Shui Xian and Hyson crying, but she also had to face Mu Chenyan's tears. This was really making things difficult for her. She didn't know what to do. It wasn't like she could tell Mu Chenyan that she'll get dehydrated once again. The last time she saw her Yanyan crying was on the day of her marriage and back then, she didn't think there was anything wrong with her comment.

However, right now, Mu Chenyan looked heartbroken. So, Raelle couldn't find the right words at all. She opened her arms and Mu Chenyan hugged her instantly.

Standing on the side, Shui Xian's eyes flashed with an understanding once he saw Mu Chenyan like this. This had to be his very first time seeing this strong woman acting like the world was ending for her. And he also realized another thing, the reason why Raelle didn't inform Mu Chenyan wasn't only that Mu Chenyan will create chaos. It was also because Mu Chenyan seemed to feel like she was guilty for not being able to protect Raelle.

He could understand that feeling very well. After all, he was going through the same right now. And that's why he was able to understand Mu Chenyan's state.

"I told you a million times, you aren't my shadow," spoke Raelle. "You can't always protect me. It's not even your job." How could Raelle not know what was up with Mu Chenyan? This woman raised her. Raelle was familiar with every single frown of hers. "You can try your best but even a man's shadow leaves his side in the darkness, how can you stay by my side all the time?"

Mu Chenyan pulled away and wiped her tears before asking, "Are you hurt anywhere? Or are you sick?"

"No," replied Raelle.

"Then why are you at the hospital?" asked Mu Chenyan.

Raelle held Mu Chenyan's hand again and said, "I had a miscarriage. I just lost my baby who I didn't even know about."

*Bzzzzz*

That's the only sound that rang in Mu Chenyan's ears once she heard the reply from Raelle. Her Elle was pregnant. No, she lost the child! Mu Chenyan's heart almost came to her throat and she didn't know how to react to this information. So many possibilities ran through her mind throughout the journey to the hospital but she didn't even think about this possibility.

*Ptak!*

Mu Chenyan only awoke from her stupor once she heard that loud sound of the slap. She turned her head to see that the one who was slapped was actually Shui Xian and the one who slapped him was Shui Koshing who was glaring at his son right now.

So, when Raelle told Mu Chenyan that she had a miscarriage, Shui Koshing had finally found the ward where Raelle was. He heard that sentence and couldn't think of anything. He walked inside and slapped his son.

On the other hand, Shui Xian just stood there with his face turned. He felt like his jaw was dislocated or something. His father really used a heavy hand. He didn't know why his father chose to slap him, but deep inside, Shui Xian felt like he deserved that slap. He had failed to protect his wife so he really deserved this.

And that's why he didn't resist. In fact, even if Mu Chenyan chose to beat him right now, he still won't resist at all. Perhaps, he felt like he'll feel better once someone punished him for being such a failure. After all, his wife didn't think he did anything wrong. And even if all her words made sense, he couldn't bring himself to look past the fact that he wasn't with Raelle when something like that happened to her.

As Shui Koshing raised his hand again, Mu Chenyan stood up and stood in front of Shui Xian. "Yo, Shing Ge, who said you can raise your hand at our family's son-in-law?"

Shui Xian was stunned. He for one never thought that the one to protect him would be Mu Chenyan. The woman who was just crying now stood in front of him like a tall wall. She was like a mother hen protecting her kids. Shui Xian felt a surge of warmth seeping into his heart. He thought he'd never have anyone who'd stand up for him and protect him like his mother did but clearly, he was wrong.

It was the same woman who scared him, now standing up for him and offering him the same protection that he felt like he could depend on her.

"Bà, why did you slap my husband?" asked Raelle as she also didn't understand it.

Shui Koshing looked at both Mu Chenyan and Raelle before sighing, "I warned this idiot." He looked at his son, "Didn't I tell you that Raelle is still young? You can wait for a couple of years before having a baby! How can you be so irresponsible?"

Shui Xian's lips twitched when he heard that. So, that's why he was slapped? If that was the reason, he really didn't deserve this slap at all! He was being wronged right now!

"How would I know that I'll become one of those 'lucky' people who get the gift even when using condoms?" retorted Shui Xian. He placed his hand on Mu Chenyan's arm as he asked, "Yanyan, you tell me, how am I wrong?"

"Hey, Shing Ge! Stop it! It's not his fault!" said Mu Chenyan. She could scare their family's son-in-law but at the end of the day, this son-in-law was her Elle's husband. And he was very important to her Elle as well. How could she not stand up for him and protect him?
