Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 1102: [Bonus chapter] Good Captain

"I did," answered Justin. "I spent quite some time contemplating what to bring you and what would be suitable. Momma said you have everything. And I also realized that you don't lack anything. So, the gift should be something I cherish and not something expensive. That's why I brought my favorite pot of peonies for you. I think they suit you the best."     

"Really? Why?"     

"Because peonies represent beauty and elegance," he answered in his cute voice. "Don't forget to take care of them plant. As long as you give it love and care, it'll continue to bloom beautiful flowers."     

"That's such a thoughtful gift," said Raelle. "You little munchkin has big ideas now."     

"Because I'm a big boy now," he replied. "Also, Uncle Min said that you don't like troublesome things so it'll be difficult for you to take care of the peonies. But then I thought, you said you have the best husband. Can't he take care of the peonies?"     

Raelle also looked at her 'best' husband and asked, "So, Hubby, can't you take care of the peonies for me?"     

Shui Xian looked at her and then looked at Justin. Seeing how both of their eyes seemed to be blinking at him innocently and expectantly, he found himself defeated as he said, "Of course, I can. I'll make sure to take care of the peonies."     

Justin smiled sweetly at him, "Thank you!"     

Shui Xian looked away as he suddenly felt like he saw a glimpse of his own future just about a moment ago. He is defeated before Raelle's innocent eyes. What would happen when they really have a child of their own and if that child inherited Raelle's eyes and looked at him with such innocence, would he even be able to establish his prestige as the father?     

Wow! The future was already looking quite... interesting.     

"What's with your face, Lieutenant?" asked Raelle to Xiang Weimin.     

Xiang Weimin looked quite off. He looked around before saying, "I don't know what's going on but I feel like everyone in the family is giving me a weird look."     

"Weird look?" repeated Raelle.     

Xiang Weimin nodded his head, "Especially Mom and Dad." He just recalled the look his parents gave him tonight and his face cracked. "They really gave me the 'LOOK'."     

"Huh? What look?" asked Raelle quite oblivious to this 'look' he spoke of.     

Xiang Weimin was about to answer when he looked at Justin who was listening to them and immediately covered his ears with his big hands and only then did he tell her, "The look which seems to be saying that 'You wait for me to whoop your ass later.' You know that look."     

"I actually don't know that look," she told him. "I have never had to face it."     

Xiang Weimin sighed, "Right. Who would dare give you the look."     

"But, Lieutenant, since you know this look does that mean you have experienced it before?"     

Xiang Weimin coughed unnaturally, "Well, I did. I was young at that time."     

"So, did you get the whooping?" asked Raelle actually looking quite interested in this topic.     

Xiang Weimin sniffled, "Yeah. But it wasn't Mom and Dad who did it. It was our grandma who whooped my ass for running around with Aunt Chenyan."     

"What beautiful and painful memories of childhood," commented Shui Xian with a look of nostalgia.     

"Husband, do you have experience too?"     

Shui Xian touched his nose as he said, "You think my mom was a soft persimmon? It's not just because she loved me so she won't beat me. It was actually the reverse. The more she loved me, the more she beat me." Then he looked at Xiang Weimin with sympathy, "Weimin Ge, I wish you luck for later then. Hope you are able to take the whooping."         

Xiang Weimin waved his hand carelessly, "I ain't scared of them. The only person in our Xiang family who really could whoop me was my grandma and sadly, she is no more. As for Mom and Dad? These two never had it in them to actually do anything to me. Not because I'm their eldest son or they love me too much. They just are too civilized."     

"You haven't figured it out yet?" asked Raelle.     

"What?" asked Xiang Weimin.     

Raelle looked at Justin who was holding Xiang Weimin's little finger tightly as he looked at them curiously. Perhaps, he was trying to figure out what these adults are talking about with his small but smart head.     

"And I thought you said Wai is the slow one in this family. It seems she is slow but isn't blind."     

"Should I take that as an insult?"     

"Up to you, Lieutenant," replied Raelle. "Forget it. You'll know the mystery eventually. For now, why don't you take this little bean to try some desserts?" She looked at Justin as she asked, "Do you wanna try some desserts, Justin? I asked my Yanyan to specially arrange a wide range of desserts so that you can have fun."     

Justin looked up at Xiang Weimin who smiled lovingly at him, "Okay. Let's go and try some desserts."     

When he got down the stage with Justin, he met his sister Xiang Wai who gave him a smirk which made him frown and that weird feeling came back. He really felt like his sister was gloating but he couldn't understand why? Then he thought about back to what Raelle said and felt like he was close to truth but he wasn't able to touch that truth.     

Xiang Wai laughed unkindly as she said, "I never thought my Ge would have this day. What a surprise!"     

"You seem to be enjoying it way too much," said Zhai Yanjun. "You shouldn't be so unkind. Let's not forget how much Weimin Ge loves you."     

"What does that have to do with this matter?" she retorted. "I can still laugh at him when the situation allows it. I have to laugh when I can. He laughed at my expense too."     

"No. He always offered his support to you," reminded Zhai Yanjun.     

"You're my boyfriend or his?"     

"Yours," answered Zhai Yanjun seriously.     

"Then take my side."     

"Okay, Major!"     

She patted his head saying, "That's like a good Captain!"
