Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 580 - Mommy Is Here



Tang Ping reacted a minute later but still followed Tang Hebe inside the bedroom. There she saw a small figure curled up on the bed whimpering softly. Tang Hebe moved the blankets and hugged that small frame into her arms.

"Shhh... It's okay. Mommy is here. Don't be scared." 

Her voice was soft and soothing as she continued to comfort the little boy. Tang Ping stepped closer to look at him. She couldn't tell him age clearly. He was too thin. Currently, tears were trickling down his face. But his eyes were closed tightly. It seemed he was crying in his sleep.

"It's just a dream," Tang Hebe was saying. "It's okay. Everything is alright."

Tang Ping just stood there not knowing what to do. So, she silently just watched. It took Tang Hebe fifteen minutes to calm down the boy whose sleep finally returned to peace. But Tang Hebe didn't put him on the bed yet, she continued to caress his head lovingly and patted his back comfortingly.

"He?" Tang Ping opened her mouth to ask but she didn't know what to ask. 

Tang Hebe looked at her and signaled her to stay quiet for now. She placed the little boy down on the bed and tucked him in before placing a kiss on his temple. She stood up and walked out of the bedroom with Tang Ping.

Tang Ping was still pondering what she wanted to ask but in the end, she only asked, "What's his name?"

"Justin," answered Tang Hebe with a soft smile on her lips and Tang Ping had to say that was the first smile of the night from her cousin that reminded her of Tang Hebe's old self. Otherwise, she still had been wondering if she was meeting the wrong person.

"Who is he?" asked Tang Ping.

"He is my son," replied Tang Hebe. "He's mildly autistic," she told her cousin. "But he is a very good boy. Just doesn't like to talk very much. And isn't as lively as other kids his age. It's such a shame that you came when he is sleeping. If you had been met him when he was awake, you'd have loved him."

Tang Ping had a very complicated look in her eyes right now. She was trying to figure out something but she was unable to do so.

"Pingping, is it really okay for you to disappear for so long on your own wedding night? Your husband must be pissed off. What if he thought you ran away?"

"Stop talking nonsense just because you want to change the topic," said Tang Ping. "I wasn't planning on asking you anything about that son of yours. It's your matter. I don't see a reason why I should be concerned about it. As for my husband, you don't have to worry. He knows where I am."

Tang Hebe walked over to the wardrobe and took out a box. She presented it to Tang Ping, "Once again, congratulations! I wish you a very happy married life."

Tang Ping frowned at the gift box but still took it from her. "Did you go back to the family house?"

"Mhmm..." Tang Hebe hummed lazily. 

"And?"

"And nothing," Tang Hebe shrugged nonchalantly. "Just grandmother nagging me over how she told me marrying Shui Xian will never end well but I didn't listen. Now, I even have extra baggage with me. Who would want to marry me in the future... blah... blah... blah..."

"That old hag is still alive?"

Tang Hebe's lips spasmed when she heard that question from Tang Ping and chuckled, "Just how much do you hate grandmother?"

"Am I not supposed to?" retorted Tang Ping. "That old hag almost got my mom and dad divorced because my mom couldn't give birth to a daughter. She couldn't deal with your mom because she came from an influential family, so she chose to bully my mom instead. What a nagger! Why don't she just die already?"

Tang Hebe chose not to comment about that. "But isnn't it good? If she had not created that drama of almost throwing a mistress at uncle's face, he wouldn't have decided to sever his ties with the family."

Tang Ping took a deep breath, "That's true. At least my dad was never naive to fall for that old hag's tricks."

"You still don't want to call her grandmother?"

"I don't have a grandmother like that," retorted Tang Ping. "And you, I don't know what you went through in the past years but I hope you can stand your ground and fight your own battles now."

"I have long separated from them," said Tang Hebe. "When I married Xian, I already had stopped being the daughter of the Tang family."

"And yet you let them lead you around?" Tang Ping snorted at her. "And harass you? When are you gonna learn?" Tang Ping sounded very dissatisfied. "The world has changed a lot in the last years while you're gone."

Tang Hebe nodded her head, "Right. I also realized that the world has moved on while I'm just standing right where I was."

"I'm leaving now," said Tang Ping. "You're depressing. And it's my happy day, I don't want you to spoil it!"

"Tsk. It's not like I called you here," said Tang Hebe. "Go, go already! Leave!"

While leaving Tang Ping hugged Tang Hebe and said, "If you feel lonely, just go to my home. Mom and dad would love to have you over."

Tang Hebe nodded at her. "Thank you!"

"Forget it. I'm leaving now."

"Have fun!" Tang Hebe called out from behind. "And don't tire yourself too much. Leave some energy to catch the flight tomorrow."

Tang Ping turned to glare at her with a blush on her face. She wanted to smack Tang Hebe's face right now. Did she want everyone to hear her?!

Tang Hebe was amused by how easily flustered her cousin got. And here she thought Tang Ping was always better than her. Sigh.. It wasn't all that wrong either.
