Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 1072: All His Fault



Chapter 1072: All His Fault

In the end, Shui Xian was saved from being the door god but Hyson had to take that place along with Xiang Weimin. Standing at the door to welcome the guests, Hyson looked at the upright posture of Xiang Weimin and his serious face. He rolled his eyes and said, “Ge, lose the frown. Are you trying to scare people away with your blank look? Give a smile.”         

    

“Aren’t I doing just fine?” asked Xiang Weimin. It was his first time doing something like welcoming the guests, so he wasn’t very used to it. He was just acting as he did with his battalion. He really forgot that the guests were considered civilians and were not his comrades from the army.     

“If anyone didn’t know any better, they’d think someone forced you to stand here,” said Hyson. “While in truth, it’s me who was forced here.”     

Xiang Weimin’s lips finally curled ever so slightly as he looked at Hyson and said, “Forced? And you? I think you look very willing.”     

Hyson sighed and flipped a strand of hair falling on his forehead as he said, “That’s because I’m good at hiding my feelings.”     

Xiang Weimin shook his head, “Isn’t it because you don’t want to disappoint Raelle?”     

Hyson paused and went silent. Eventually, he said, “Ge, don’t expose me like this. I understand that as a brother, it’s my responsibility to stand here for Ellie. But damnit, I hate it!”     𝔬𝗏𝓛xt.𝗇𝓔t

Xiang Weimin placed his hand on his head saying, “I wish I could send you back inside but I really can’t. So, little brother, hang in there.”     

Hyson had a bright and welcoming smile on his face when he greeted the guests who came while Xiang Weimin was still a bit restrained. However, he wasn’t wearing a blank face anymore. It’s just that even with that slight smile, he still looked a little unapproachable.      

Good thing was that none of the guests would mind however they welcomed them.     

After all, it was an engagement banquet of Raelle Xiang and Shui Xian. Those two alone were enough to make people want to curry favors with them but adding their surnames added a lot more weight. Who didn’t want to cozy up to the Xiang family or the Shui family?      

So what if Shui Koshing broke off his relationship with the Shui family, it wouldn’t change the fact that Shui Koshing alone had more value than the entire Shui family. And his son, Shui Xian was no less than his father.     

“Hi, Uncle!” greeted Hyson.     

Xiang Hulin looked at Hyson and then his eyes fell on his son.      

“Uncle, aren’t you late to your own daughter’s engagement?”      

“I’ve been here since this morning,” replied Xiang Hulin.     

“Oh,” responded Hyson. “I didn’t know that. I didn’t see you.”     

“Dad, you should go inside and stay with grandpa,” said Xiang Weimin.     

“Okay,” agreed Xiang Hulin and went inside.     

“He had been overlooking the arrangements when aunt Yan wasn’t here,” told Xiang Weimin to Hyson. “In fact, he was the first person to get here.”     

“What about your mother?” asked Hyson in a small voice.     

“She is also here,” replied Xiang Weimin.     

“Huh? Where?”      

“She is… hiding,” said Xiang Weimin strangely. “I guess it’ll take her a little more time to gather her courage to come here.”     

“Ge, I have a question. Can I ask?”     

“Do you need permission to ask?”         

    

Hyson chuckled, “Not really. I was just trying to be nice.”     

“Go ahead,” said Xiang Weimin.     

“If I ask you to describe your mother in one word, how would you do it?”     

Xiang Weimin’s brows knitted up. He didn’t expect Hyson to be still in the mood to ask such random questions but thinking that Hyson must be bored after saying hello to so many people, Xiang Weimin didn’t say anything and only answered his question, “Insecure.”     

Hyson’s eyes widened a little. “Really?”     

“Really,” affirmed Xiang Weimin. Hyson nodded his head and this time, Xiang Weimn asked, “What about you? How would you describe your mother in one word?”     

Hyson didn’t even take a minute to answer, “Lovesick!”     

Xiang Weimin was taken aback, “Are you sure?”     

“Positive,” replied Hyson. “That’s the first word that comes to mind whenever I think of my mum.”     

“Why?”     

“Because over the years, a lot of things about her changed. From a weak, frail, fragile woman, she learned to be strong, independent, and capable. She even learned to accept her shortcomings. But one thing that didn’t change was her lovesickness. It’s still the same as it was before.”     

“Does Aunt Yue know what you think about her?” asked Xiang Weimin.     

“She knows it very well,” replied Hyson. “And she never denied it either.”     

“Fai!”     

Hyson turned and looked at his group members who came together and smiled, “Do you guys have to always plan to come together?”     

“You didn’t even invite us,” complained Lin Zhen. “You don’t get to question us here.”     

“It’s not my engagement, why should I invite you?” retorted Hyson.     

“Well, then we’ll wait for your engagement,” said Feng Yiwen.     

“Yi Ge, I think the probability of your engagement before mine is higher,” was Hyson’s answer which actually got acknowledged by everyone there. “Where is Zi Huan Ge?” asked Hyson.     

“He was just behind us,” replied Feng Yiwen as touched his silver earing and a strange light flashed in his eyes. It didn’t escape Hyson’s eyes.      

And soon, he knew what it was all about when he saw Pei Zi Huan holding He Rou’s bag in one hand and her hand in his other hand as he helped her in walking. Hyson’s lips twitched seeing this scene and the others turned their faces away, not wanting to even look.     

“Sister-in-law, why torture yourself with those heels if you can’t walk in them?” asked Hyson.     

He Rou looked at Hyson and pouted, “How is it my fault? Look at your Zi Huan Ge! It’s all his fault!”     

Everyone was surprised by this response only Hyson had an understanding look.     

“Indeed, who asked Zi Huan Ge to be so tall,” commented Hyson. “It’s all his fault that you have to wear such high heels to make a perfect match.”         

    

“Indeed,” He Rou felt comforted knowing that Hyson understood it so well.
