Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 762 Pick A Side

Chapter 762 Pick A Side

??The person behind the conflict in the Zhai house, namely Yue Yue was currently leisurely sitting on the bay window as she nibbled on spicy chicken feet. Her lips were red from chili and oil, even her eyes were red as if she was on verge of crying. But she wasn't willing to put down the chicken feet. 

??Obviously, she also had times when she was like her son, a little gluttony.

??Someone cleared their throat and caught her attention. She looked up with her clear eyes and blinked at Xiang Hulin. Seeing that he successfully got her attention, Xiang Hulin asked, "If you don't mind, can I sit here with you?"

??Yue Yue continued to blink in silence while nibbling on the chicken feet. She looked like a greedy hamster and it made Xiang Hulin want to laugh. But his years of restraint had taught him well to hide his emotions. Even an average person couldn't tell his emotions much less Yue Yue who was actually a little too innocent for a woman of her age.

??But no matter how innocent she was, she knew he wanted to talk to her so she nodded her head to give her permission. Xiang Hulin pulled a chair to sit down a fair distance away from the bay window where she sat with one leg folded on the seat and the other leg dangling down.

??"Can we talk?" asked Xiang Hulin once he saw she was almost done eating. 

??And sure enough, Yue Yue took off the gloves and put the plate aside as she sat down properly to face him. Thinking of something, she took her phone and typed on it before showing it to Xiang Hulin. On the screen was written, 'Let's talk.'

??Xiang Hulin was actually still a bit uncomfortable about the fact that she couldn't speak. From what he heard about her from Zhai Kuijun, she had a very beautiful voice. But now... He hid his emotions well to not let her see what was on his mind. No matter how curious he was, he didn't want to poke at her sore spot.

??Besides, he was certain if he made her sad, Mu Chenyan was gonna make him pay for it. And no matter what age or day, he was always scared of his sister's temper.

??"I believe you already know that I'm friends with Zhai Kuijun," mentioned Xiang Hulin.

??Yue Yue nodded her head, trying to act very calmly. No, she was actually calmer than before. She had nothing to fear or worry about. She had people protecting her now. And she also had her son. Why should she continue to live in fear?

??"I didn't tell him about you," said Xiang Hulin. "Although that was my intention when I recognized you." Yue Yue continued to look at him inquisitively as he told her, "You see, Zhai Kuijun had been looking for you for all these years." Yue Yue's body stiffened a little as he continued, "I tried helping him when he asked me to. But it was to no avail. I never understood how it was so difficult to find someone. The only answer we had was that perhaps, you're no longer in this world. And I did ask Zhai Kuijun to be prepared for that result. But he wasn't."

??Yue Yue looked up at him.

??"He was never willing to accept that you're gone," he told her. "So, even though it's been over 20 years, we still had been doing our best to find you. And the thing is, now that I found you, I can't tell my friend about this. Chenchen will not be happy about that and neither will you be." 

??Yue Yue typed on her phone again and let the mechanical voice speak for her, 'You seem very scared of Chenyan. Or, should I say you really know how to spoil her.'

??Xiang Hulin smiled at that, "Well, it's true that I've always loved my sister. I do love to spoil her as well. And it's because that I love her so much that I'm scared of her anger. You should know her anger is not fun."

??Yue Yue typed, 'She can really be scary if she wants to be.'

??"And she can also hide someone if she wants to," added Xiang Hulin meaningfully. "As I said, in this age of technology, it's easier to find people. But the fact that I never found a trace of you had been very unsettling to me until I learned that my Chenchen cherishes you very much. And with her around, it's definitely not all that impossible to keep your identity hidden."

??Yue Yue had a small smile on her lips as she nodded and typed, 'Yes, Chenyan had always been very nice to me. She never made me feel like I'm alone. She always looks like a big pillar of support.'

??"She is nice to a lot of people," sighed Xiang Hulin. "It's just that most people never understood it and some didn't treasure her niceness."

??Yue Yue felt like there was a deeper meaning behind those words and she wanted to probe into it. However, she wasn't all that familiar with Xiang Hulin, so she felt embarrassed to ask questions. Even though, she had always been interested in knowing more about Mu Chenyan.

??Shaking his head, he said, "I wanted to tell you that although I won't tell Zhai Kuijun anything, I don't think you'll be able to hide."

??Yue Yue also understood that so she nodded, 'I already know that. I have left it all up to fate now.'

??Xiang Hulin gave her a reassuring smile as he told her, "But I can assure you, no matter what, I'll stand by your side. I don't dare stand against my sister."

??Yue Yue silently chuckled at that, 'No. You don't have to. I don't want you to pick a side because of me. That won't be fair to him or you. After all, he is your friend. It'll feel like betrayal. So, it's better if you don't take a side.'

??Xiang Hulin was happy to see that she thought that way. No wonder his sister cherished her so much.
