Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 727 Dissatisfied

Chapter 727 Dissatisfied

"Then why are you avoiding her?" asked Raelle. It's not like she hadn't noticed it. Before whenever he talked about Tang Hebe, he was calm. But since yesterday, he had been avoiding her name and definitely didn't want to go to see her either.

"Do you think I recalled our memories once I looked at her after all these years?" asked Shui Xian in return. "Then you're wrong. Even I thought I might remember our time together once I met her again but it didn't happen. All that I recalled was what a jerk I was to my own mother because of her." He held Raelle's hands tightly as he went on, "I might have never been a good son to my mom. But I became a real jerk a year before she died. All because I insisted on going against her wishes."

"And why did mom not like Tang Hebe?" she asked.

Shui Xian was momentarily stunned at how naturally she called his mother her own. He rubbed the hand of her hand as he told her, "I don't know. I never got the answer to that question. She just insisted that anyone could be my life partner but not a Tang. I never understood what animosity she had with the Tang family." He took a pause and didn't hide anything from her, "Even after I gained power, all I learned was that the Tang family and Qian family had irreconcilable differences. Both families were like water and oil, they could never mix together. As for the reason, no one is willing to open their mouths."

"Is it weird that I'm interested in what exactly went wrong between the two families?" asked Raelle.

Shui Xian gave her a small smile and shook his head, "It's not weird. Even I was very interested in it once. But I found nothing, so I had to reluctantly give up. But you can give it a try, anything that isn't possible for me definitely shouldn't faze my wife."

"Actually, I don't have to do much," said Raelle. She opened her contact list and showed him a name, "I'll just use my cheat."

Shui Xian chuckled at how she called Mu Chenyan, her cheat! But he couldn't even argue since Mu Chenyan was really like a cheat. And it really won't surprise him if Mu Chenyan figured out the mystery behind the rivalry between Tang and Qian families.

He held her hand, "Do you have to call her now? Can't you wait for when you get recovered?"

"No," she answered. "I'm interested now. What if I am no longer interested by the time I get discharged?"

"Oh, my wife's interest is that short-lived?"

"Don't worry, my interest in you is permanent," she said.

Shui Xian laughed at that and kissed her forehead, "Fine. Do whatever you want." It's not like he could stop her. After all, since she was told to just lay on her bed and rest, she definitely wanted to find something to keep herself busy. "Amiah wants to meet you," he told her. "Should I bring her in?"

"Have you been keeping her waiting outside all this while?" questioned Raelle.

Shui Xian shook his head, "No, she... She can't bring herself to face you."

"Go and bring her inside," said Raelle. "I don't eat people. I only like eating you."

Shui Xian choked and gave her a glare, "You... Sigh. Forget it. I'll bring her inside."

Raelle watched him leave as she muttered, "Did I say something wrong?" She didn't think so. Shaking off these thoughts, she dialed Mu Chenyan's number.

"Oh, my baby Elle!" came Mu Chenyan's gushing voice.

"Aren't you being very irresponsible, Yanyan?" replied Raelle catching Mu Chenyan off guard. "Your baby Elle is in the hospital, where are you? Is this even time for you to wander around? Or is it that you really are treating me like the married daughter is like split water? Is that so?" Raelle didn't even give Mu Chenyan to say a word as she went on, "Or maybe since you got your brother and a nephew and another niece, you think your baby Elle is of no use now?"

Although Mu Chenyan was being lectured, she couldn't help smiling right now. And eventually, she burst out laughing.

"You? You're laughing at this time? What's so funny?"

"Aiyo, Yanyan's precious little Missy, are you complaining right now?" asked Mu Chenyan.

"Hm? What? When did I complain?"

"Just now," said Mu Chenyan. "This is the very first time in my life when I am hearing you complain to me like this. And can I be honest, I feel like I can die in peace now. My baby finally knows how to show her dissatisfaction. I can't be more proud." She wiped the tears that spilled out of her eyes involuntarily. "Oh, why my tears are coming out?" She mumbled to herself. She definitely looked like a fool for having a big grin on her face and tears falling from her eyes. But she couldn't help it.

"Shouldn't I be dissatisfied?" questioned Raelle. "Since I have been in the hospital, you didn't even cook a single meal for me. Before my marriage, if I even had a minor fever, you'd stick to my bedside and make me all sorts of meals. And don't think just because I am not a fan of fancy food that I can't recognize the taste of your food. Because I can tell the difference!"

"Oh my! That's my mistake. That's definitely my mistake. I should atone for this sin. How could I forget that my Elle is used to eating the food I make when she is sick. I really deserve to be punished."

"Then you come to me, I'll definitely punish you!"

Mu Chenyan wiped her tears and nodded, "Yes. I'll make something for lunch for you and then I'll be right there with you. You can punish me however you want." She took a pause and added, "Elle..."

"Yes?"

"Nothing. I'll see you soon."
