Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 280 - Food Calling



Meanwhile, Hyson was getting pestered by the two ladies who were so worried about him. He really didn't know how to save himself.

Squeezing his face, Mu Chenyan commented, "Our Fai has lost so much weight these days. I can't even feel his squishy cheeks. This won't do. I have to make lots of things for Fai."

Hearing that comment, Hyson perked up and nodded his head like a chicken pecking grains. "I have really lost a lot of weight. Look even my jaw has become so sharp that it can cut people."

Mu Chenyan chuckled at his remark, "Indeed, this jawline can certainly cut through many girls' hearts."

Hyson gave her a look, "Yanyan, that's not what I meant. I haven't had a good meal in days. I miss your Szechwan Chilli Chicken and Honey Chilli Potato. I feel like I haven't eaten it for a century."

Yue smacked his head, 'You can't eat all that for now. Nothing too spicy for now.'

Hyson groaned, "I'll soon forget the taste of good food." He gave Mu Chenyan a pitiful look, "Don't you think I'm too pitiful?"

Yue gave him a look and complained, 'Then who told you get into an accident? This is a lesson for you. It'll remind you to not be so careless in the future.'

Hyson lowered his head feeling wronged, "I'm a good boy so I always look for goodness in others. How would I know that I'll get into an accident? And you're the one who taught me to look for goodness in others."

Mu Chenyan instantly rubbed his head, "Our Fai is never wrong." Then she turned to Yue, "If you're worried that doesn't mean you have to reprimand him. Look at him! How can you even bring yourself to be upset with him?"

Finding his supporting pillar, Hyson continued to lean on Mu Chenyan. He didn't mind being reprimanded by his mother but it's not like he liked it. His mother usually didn't reprimand him because he was dear to her. The only time she did reprimand him, it'd be when she was worried about him.

"Get well soon, my little cutie! And then I'll not only make Szechwan Chilli Chicken and Honey Chilli Potato for you but also Wok Tossed Veggies in Honey and Black Bean Glaze," said Mu Chenyan knowing well enough what he liked to eat.

"Yum!" Hyson was already drooling just at the reminder of the taste of those dishes. Swallowing visibly, he added, "Can I also get Peri Peri Chicken Satay?"

"Of course!" agreed Mu Chenyan without hesitation.

"How about some Chilli Fish and Chilli Soya Nuggets?" he continued with sparkly eyes.

"Yes, that too!" 

Before Hyson could add something more to his list of foods to eat, Yue stopped him from continuing, 'That's enough! She isn't your personal chef!'

Hyson pouted at his mother and went silent. Mu Chenyan looked at her best friend, "It's not like you're gonna cook it. Why are you so upset about it? I can definitely make this much for him." Then she said to Hyson, "My cutie Fai, you continue to tell me what else do you want to eat. I'll prepare it all for you."

With her agreement, Hyson continued to prattle on about what he wanted to taste. He even didn't forget to tell her how Raelle ate so much right in front of him.

"It's okay. Next time, we'll also eat everything right in front of her and won't offer Elle anything," said Mu Chenyan.

"If only, it'd affect her," said Hyson. 

'Didn't your doctor ask you to rest? Why are jumping around?' asked Yue. 'Lay down and go to sleep.'

"But I can't sleep right now," protested Hyson.

'Even if you can't, you have to,' insisted Yue. 

"Fai, you should rest. It's really not good to move around so much right now. If you won't get better soon, how will you eat all the food?" added Mu Chenyan.

"But I feel fine," said Hyson. But seeing how his words fell on deaf ears, he could only sigh inwardly and laid down on the bed. Obviously, he couldn't sleep since he didn't feel like it but he still closed his eyes as he was told to do so. Because he didn't have the courage to go against these two ladies that would be detrimental to him.

As he closed his eyes, he was able to see the images of all the food he just listed down. There, those Soya Dumplings in Tomato Sauce were floating around his mouth, tempting him and teasing him. Garlic Prawns' fresh aroma was making him dizzy. Those noodles were calling his name, asking him to take a bite. 

Hyson didn't know about sleep but now he was really hungry. Why did he think about food before closing his eyes? He was torturing himself by doing so. Now he couldn't even eat it all but was left in so much pain at the thought that he couldn't eat it all.

And now that he was hungry, it was even more difficult to sleep. What a dilemma!

"Jokes aside, Fai does look quite weak," commented Mu Chenyan. "I really have to fatten him up again."

'There are so many bruises on his body,' said Yue. 'His injuries couldn't be that light as he makes it seem.'

Mu Chenyan sighed out, "Even if we ask, he won't tell anything truthfully. No matter how painful it is, you won't hear it from him. So, of course, he is taking it lightly. But I have asked the doctors, although the wounds look scary, it's all superficial. His bones didn't get injured and that's a relief."

Yue nodded her head, 'That is a relief.'

"Besides, have you seen how energetic he is? He'll get better in no time!" said Mu Chenyan with certainty. She was in fact trying to ease up Yue's worries but her words had some truth to them. None of Hyson's wounds were severe. His internal bleeding was the trouble that had already been solved with the surgery.
