Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 494 - Being Bitter



Chapter 494 – Being Bitter

"Ahem!"

Just as Shui Xian was about to indulge in a kiss with his wife, he heard someone faking a cough and cursed mentally. He let Raelle go and turned his head towards the voice. Seeing the person who faked that cough, he sat up, "Learn some manners."

Zhai Yanjun pointed at himself, "I should learn manners? Maybe you should get a room instead!"

"Why should I?" retorted Shui Xian. "I can kiss my legally wedded wife anywhere and anytime I want to. It should be you who should learn to take a detour."

"Xian, when did you become so unreasonable?" asked Zhai Yanjun.

"I have to tell you that as well now?" Shui Xian returned with his own question.

"What the hell are you doing here?"

Both Shui Xian and Zhai Yanjun stopped and turned to look at Hyson at the same time. Hyson's eyes were stuck on Zhai Yanjun while he was frowning.

"Hyson," came Raelle's voice. "That's no way to talk to a guest."

Hyson looked at his best friend, "But he…"

"No," Raelle stopped him from continuing. "And no still means no."

Hyson sighed out, "Fine." He tsked to himself and turned to Zhai Yanjun, "You, how do you even have time to be here?"

"I think it's within my authority to find some time for myself," answered Zhai Yanjun.

"You mean you sneaked out here?" 

Zhai Yanjun glared at Hyson, "You can't phrase it like that."

"But I just did," was Hyson's response.

Shui Xian chuckled when he heard that. "Fai is right. Be a responsible soldier. How can you sneak out? What are your comrades gonna think about you?"

Zhai Yanjun felt like Shui Xian and Hyson were ganging up on him right now. He had no one on his side. Just how sad was his life?

"And for whom do you think I took this risk?" questioned Zhai Yanjun. "Isn't it for you, Fai?"

Hyson raised his brow at him, "Me? How is it related to me?"

"You're leaving tomorrow," said Zhai Yanjun. "I thought I'd see you before you leave. How can you even not appreciate my effort?"

"You're literally here the other day," reminded Hyson. "Do you really think I miss you so much that I'd want to see your face again so soon? There isn't anything worthy of seeing in that face."

"Why is it that whenever you open that mouth of yours, you try to bite me?"

"Why would I bite you? Don't accuse me wrongly," said Hyson. "You don't even taste good."

"And how do you know that I don't taste good?" retorted Zhai Yanjun.

"Are you boys really gonna continue with this childish argument?" questioned Raelle. "Hyson, follow me."

Hyson pursed his lips and followed her out of there. He had only come to find out how long it'd take for dinner. Who knew he'd come across Zhai Yanjun. 

"Stop acting so bitter," said Raelle to Hyson. "It doesn't suit you."

"How am I being bitter?" Hyson just didn't want to accept it. "I am just being me. Haven't I always been harsh with words?"

Raelle lifted her hand and placed it on his head, "You actually like him a lot. Don't try to convince yourself into believing otherwise."

Hyson groaned in response, "Sometimes I feel like you're the personification of my inner voice. While I am able to quieten up that annoying inner voice in my head, I can't do anything about you." He was looking sullen at how Raelle was really playing the role of his inner voice. It was true that he liked Zhai Yanjun and they'd have actually got along well as well. But the problem was Zhai Yanjun's identity as his half-brother!

He was just not able to get comfortable with that knowledge. Just a few days were not enough for him to process this kind of information. He needed more time. But until he got over it, it was for sure that he was gonna look for every way to butt heads with Zhai Yanjun. Moreover, it was quite enjoyable for him as well.

That look of helplessness on Zhai Yanjun's face was too amusing. It was like Zhai Yanjun wanted to punch him in the face but he couldn't do it either. And his words had even less of an effect on Hyson making Zhai Yanjun a lot more vulnerable before Hyson.

And now Hyson even found a very good excuse for why Zhai Yanjun had to give in to him. After all, as an elder brother, he should be giving in to his younger brother, no? It had to be said that Hyson's reasoning was flawless!

"It's because he is indulging you that you're able to bully him," said Raelle straightforwardly. "Don't count him as a soft persimmon. He is a soldier. How soft his personality could possibly be?"

"I know," replied Hyson. "And I know my limits as well. If I really wanted to get into a fight with him, it'd have happened for real a long time ago and you'd find at least one of us in the hospital."

"I'd prefer if the one in the hospital isn't you."

Hyson smiled softly at her words, "I'll keep my words and stay away from any trouble."

"Fai, go and call everyone for dinner," said Mu Chenyan. "And Ellie, call your Opa."

"Alright," nodded Hyson and Raelle.

Before Hyson could turn to leave, Raelle held him back and said, "Remember to be nice to Zhai Yanjun. He came here especially for you. That's very nice of him."

Hyson gave her a look, "Ellie, do you think he is a nice person?"

"I won't say anything about that," said Raelle. "But every person is made of flaws. We don't live in the world of saints."

"Of course, I know that," replied Hyson. "However, I can't just be nice to him out of nowhere. I need time to take everything in. It's a lot to take in already."

Raelle patted his head, "Then I wish you good luck!"
