Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 127 - Biased Family



While Raelle and Shui Xian walked away, behind them, three pairs of eyes were focused on their intertwined hands. There was a hint of surprise in those eyes and along with it, there was a lot of excitement.

"Tell me, I am not seeing things?" came Mu Chenyan's uncertain voice.

"You're not the only one," said Hyson with an amused smirk on his face.

"Who held whose hand?" questioned Mu Chenyan.

"I didn't see," replied Hyson honestly.

Both of them looked at Mother Yue who was smiling all by herself. Noticing two pairs of eyes on her, she responded, 'Raelle offered her hand to him and he took it naturally.'

"This is rather shocking," muttered Hyson.

"I need to share this with Elder Xiang," said Mu Chenyan and ran inside the house to get her phone.

'Let's go inside,' said Mother Yue.

Hyson shook his head at her, "I should go back now. I only came to see you. Meeting Raelle was just a pleasant surprise and I decided to stay a bit longer." He looked at his wristwatch before added, "It's not early anyway. By the time I reach the dorms, it'd be quite dark. And you don't like it when I drive at night."

Mother Yue nodded in understanding before she hugged him gently. As she pulled away, she told him, 'Don't get nervous. And don't stress over anything as well. Even if you don't get the role, it's not the end of the world. Don't push yourself.'

Hyson smiled at her, "Mum, I know. I'm not stressing over it."

Mother Yue's eyes narrowed, 'As if I don't know my son.' Hyson scratched the back of his head sheepishly. Indeed, she knew how stressful he would get. She caressed his cheek before she said, 'Just remember that mom is always with you. No matter what happens, mom will always be on your side.'

Hyson chuckled happily before he engulfed her in his arms. Placing his chin on her head, he said, "I don't get nervous. I have you with me." He took a pause and added, "Besides, don't you know who my best friend is? She can make people shudder in fear and if I can face her without getting nervous, then who dares to intimidate me?"

Mother Yue hit his chest and pulled away, 'Don't talk about her like this.'

Hyson pouted at her, "Mothers should dote on sons, stop taking the side of the daughter of the house."

Mother Yue glared at him, 'I love my daughter more. You have a problem? What can you do about it?'

He made a face at her, "This family is really biased when it comes to the daughter. Poor son is pitiful."

"Who said that?" came Mu Chenyan's voice from behind. "We love our adorable son very much as well."

Hyson scoffed, "No way! I can't see that love." After laughing around, he said, "I should really leave now." He sounded really unwilling to do so. He really wanted to stay and anyone could see it but he still was forcing himself.

"So early?" asked Mu Chenyan. "I haven't even pinched your cheeks yet."

Hyson placed his hands on his cheeks to protect himself, "That's enough for today. If you pinched anymore, my cheeks are gonna fall off."

Mu Chenyan lifted her hand to patted his head, "Alright! We're letting you go for now. Do your best! We are all rooting for you. As always!"

Hyson hugged Mu Chenyan and said, "Yanyan, you're really awesome!"

"Where did that come from?"

He gave her a smirk, "I heard about your heroic act of the day. I'm feeling proud of you. I already knew I have all the best women in my life but today, I feel extra proud. God has really blessed me with most amazing women."

Mu Chenyan rubbed his head, "You keep an eye out for us. We might be old but we ain't rusty yet. If our kids can try their best to make us proud, our old bones also need to make our kids proud of us. So, even if we have to drag our old bones, we'll still do our best for you."

Hyson looked at his mother with an envious gaze, "Mum, you really have the best friend. I'm jealous!"

Mother Yue poked his head, 'You also have the best friend.'

"When did I say my friend is not the best one?" he retorted. "It's just that her words aren't exactly pretty like your best friend."

"And here I thought, she is quite mellow around you," said Mu Chenyan.

Hyson also knew that the Raelle he was familiar with and the Raelle that people feared were two different people. Raelle unconsciously showed her mellow side to Hyson. It was not done on purpose. Besides, no matter how Raelle acted, it never fazed Hyson. He always welcomed the change in her. No matter how little it was.

Just like he was extremely happy to see the way she was taking the initiative to make her marriage work. And he knew how she must have struggled within to let a stranger into her life. Even if she didn't show or voice any of it.

"I'll keep you both updated," said Hyson before he kissed both the ladies goodbye.

Seeing that Mu Chenyan was planning on staying with his mother for a few more days, he was feeling a little relaxed. He didn't feel as sad while he was leaving as he usually did. The reason he always found it difficult to stay away from his mother was simple; he knew she would be lonely without him.

While she urged him to live his own life freely, he wanted her to do the same. After walking some distance, he turned around to wave at them again because he knew they'd still be looking at him. And seeing them wave back, his heart filled with warmth.

He really wished for these two ladies to stop worrying about him and Raelle. They had spent their lives worrying about them. He didn't even know when was the last time these two even thought about doing something just for themselves. Maybe that's why he felt really happy when he heard that Mu Chenyan beat someone in the streets. It meant, she was finally willing to stop controlling her temper for Raelle's sake.

He found it to be a great start. And he wished his mother would follow suit. In fact, with Mu Chenyan around, he was sure she would influence his mother in some weird way.
