Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 447: Standing On Top



Chapter 447: Standing On Top

As soon as Zhai Yanjun left, Hyson ran over to Raelle’s place. By this time, there was no one who wasn’t familiar with Hyson at Shui Villa. Everyone not only knew him but they also knew how important he was. So, there was no one who stopped him, and neither did he have to ask for directions to find the residents of this house.

“Uncle Shing, how are you this fine evening?”

Shui Koshing’s face lit up the moment he heard that loud and full-of-life voice of Hyson. He looked over at him and smiled brightly, “I don’t about earlier but this fine evening just got brighter with your presence.”

“I’m flattered to hear that,” replied Hyson. “I went fishing with Opa today. You should have come. It was fun. I caught nothing at all. But Opa was awesome.”

Shui Koshing was so amused as he heard Hyson’s bragging tone. Look, he looked so proud even now when he didn’t manage to catch even a single fish. Shui Koshing rubbed his head, “You didn’t even invite me.”

Hyson’s lips parted and the realization dawned on him. He blushed in embarrassment, “That seems to be a blunder on my part. Sorry! I’ll remember to call you next time.”

Shui Koshing’s shoulders shook with his hearty laughter as he told him, “It’s alright. I’m not good at fishing too.”

“All the more reason for me to take you along,” added Hyson. “I won’t feel as useless as I did alone.”

“Did you just insinuate that I’m useless?”

“No, I meant we can be useless together,” said Hyson. “Do you mind?”

Shui Koshing pretended to ponder over it before saying, “Nah! I don’t mind at all.”

“Oh, look who is here!” came Shui Xian’s voice as he came to join them with Raelle. “You sure took your time to show up, Fai.” He was purely being playful with Hyson.

“You dared not to show up even when my husband invited you over dinner himself?”

Hyson looked at Raelle and grinned, “Ellie, don’t be mad. I have my reasons.”

“Mad?” repeated Shui Xian and directed his gaze towards his wife. He stared at her face intently trying to find out something but he couldn’t really tell what Hyson was talking about. What did he mean by Raelle was mad? She looked exactly like she did a moment ago. “I don’t think she is mad.”

“She is,” insisted Hyson. “You just can’t tell.”

“I really can’t,” agreed Shui Xian.

“I’m still waiting for your reasons for not showing up,” Raelle chimed in with her eyes set on Hyson as she crossed her arms against her chest.

“We had a guest at home,” told Hyson. “I couldn’t possibly leave the guest at home like that, right? That’d be disrespectful. That’s not how we were raised.”

“Who came?” the question was from Shui Xian.

“Someone I don’t like,” commented Hyson.

“What would Zhai Yanjun come to visit out of nowhere?” questioned Raelle.

“Eh?” Shui Xian raised his brows at Hyson inquisitively, “You don’t like Zhai Yanjun?” He didn’t even for a moment doubt his wife’s words. Since she was certain Hyson was talking about Zhai Yanjun, he had no reason to confirm it with Hyson again. Hearing it from just one of them was enough. “You seemed to like him yesterday though.”

“That was yesterday,” retorted Hyson. “It already passed. Who made the rule that I have to like him today since I liked him yesterday? Isn’t it up to me?”

Shui Xian felt like he just choked on his words. What the hell? How was he supposed to argue with that? 

“You sure know how to be willful!” commented Shui Xian. 

“He can be willful,” said Shui Koshing to his son. “And since he is your one and only brother-in-law, you better give into his willfulness.”

Shui Xian stared at his father asking whose side was he on right now? Shui Koshing shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.

“I’m just stating facts here, son,” said Shui Koshing. “Raelle only has Fai. And even she is willing to give in to him. How can you not?” He patted Hyson’s head, “Besides, you should be giving in more since your relationship with Fai isn’t just because of Raelle. He is your mother’s nephew. In a way, he is your cousin.”

Although they weren’t blood-related. Far cry from that. Yet, they were still somehow considered cousins. 

“I’m just fine having him as my brother-in-law,” commented Shui Xian. There was no doubt that Hyson was his one and only brother-in-law. He was the only one in Raelle’s life who fit in the category of a brother. He could tell that even if Raelle had seen Xiang Weimin, he might never be able to take Hyson’s place. 

In fact, taking Hyson’s place was an impossible dream. It was even difficult for Xiang Weimin to take the position of a brother in Raelle’s life. He didn’t think there was that much space in his wife’s life. Especially, since she was so particular about who was allowed to get close to her.

“I feel like my status just got elevated,” said Hyson.

“What? Are you not satisfied with already standing at the top?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, Xian Ge.” Taking a pause, he added, “Oh, why did you call me over though? Anything important? You instructed me in the text to come over for sure!”

“Yes, it’s important,” replied Shui Xian. “I wanted to give you something.”

“Me? You want to give me something?” questioned Hyson as if confirming he wasn’t hearing things right now. 

“Yeah, you!”

“Wow! I’ve just got chills. Why would you give me something?”

“Oh, don’t you know? If I want to have a good relationship with my wife, I have to take care of you as well.”

Hyson snorted, “Xian Ge, there is no such thing. Ellie’s good relationship has nothing to do with me. It’s up to you. In fact, it’s up to you both.”

Shui Xian smiled at his words and hugged his shoulders as he directed towards the basement saying, “I know but that doesn’t mean I can’t do anything for you.”
