Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 1180: Comeback

Lin Zhen watched everything with his arms crossed but he was really wondering if he was still stuck with a bunch of kids. Who would say these men were all in their late twenties? Even the youngest was in his mid-twenties. And yet, they were acting like middle schoolers. It was a real headache for him.        

    

But he was also quite content with the fact that at least their fights were limited to this and there was no jealousy or infighting between them. It saved him a lot of distress but the headache that was in his fate was still there.    

"Are you done, kids?" he spoke out.    

"No, mom!"      

Lin Zhen gave them a glare when they shouted that but he was quite helpless against it either.      

"Attention!"    

"Mom is angry, everyone. Be serious," said Fang Yiwen.    

"Yiwen, you want me to take away your favorite headphones?"      

Fang Yiwen rolled his eyes and muttered, "See? Isn't this exactly what mothers do?"    

"If I don't act like it, would you survive? I have to take away your takeout boxes every time I come back. And until or unless I tell you to clean up your room, you'll never do it."    

Fang Yiwen looked very innocent as he said, "I can only survive on takeouts when mom is not there is cook."    

"So, it's my fault?"    

"You just said I can't survive without you," Fang Yiwen pointed out.    

"Okay, I don't wanna continue this topic," said Lin Zhen. "You two..." He turned to Pei Zi Hong and Huang Shuyi, "If you wanna keep secrets from us brothers, at least do a better job and don't get caught. I won't intervene and save you all the time." Then he looked at Hyson and smiled, "And you, Fai... Everything is good with you. Just stay happy."    

Hyson's lips twitched, "Am I a kid, Ge?"    

"You all are," replied Lin Zhen. "I can't remember a time when you all have acted mature. Except for the time when I asked if you want to disband to avoid the negative influence from Pei Zi Hong's dating scandal. Only at that time, I felt like you all have grown up."

"Zhen Ge, you should be happy that at least we have our mature moments too," said Huang Shuyi. "Don't be so serious in life."    

"It's saying the person whose whole life is all about sleeping."    

"I'm changing!"      

All of them rolled their eyes at that comment as if in sync making Huang Shuyi actually doubt whether he was so bad.      

"Ge, you speak later. Let me settle my score here first," said Hyson and walked to Huang Shuyi. "Shuyi Ge, what are you up to? Rabbits don't eat grass near their nests."    

"Oh? So?" asked Huang Shuyi.    

"You went to find someone from my family to date? Couldn't you look elsewhere? Is it okay to do this to your little brother?"    

"Her relationship is still a bit distant from your family," said Huang Shuyi as he rubbed his nose.    

"But she is my godmother's favorite niece from her mother's side," said Hyson. "You... How did you even meet?"    

Huang Shuyi scratched his chin while Fang Yiwen answered for him, "Isn't that your own fault? You invited us to your home when Raelle was discharged from the hospital. She was there too."        

    

Hyson also recalled that Gou Jinjin seemed to be really there that day. So, it started from there?      

"But seeing that you are friends with our family's Major, I can see why you'd like Gou Jinjin."    

"Oh? Why is that?" asked Huang Shuyi curiously.    

"They both have a very similar personality," answered Hyson. "Except that our Major Wai has become a lot more thorny because of her life experience and job."    

Huang Shuyi nodded his head, "Indeed. When we were young, she was a lot sweeter than now. It seems like she is full of explosives now. Her temper was never good to begin with but with time, even she became stinky."    

Hyson pursed his lips before saying, "Do you want me to tell her this?"    

"Don't!" Huang Shuyi held up his hand and exclaimed. "Don't you do that. We have known each other longer. I've loved you for so long and pampered you for so many years. How can you change sides? Especially when you don't even see eye to eye with Wai."    

"But it's fun to see her blowing her top," said Hyson and laughed at that inn amusement all by himself. He thoroughly enjoyed seeing Wai losing her composure. Why else would he take the trouble to go and poke her from time to time?      

"She'd blow her top if she heard that too."    

"Shuyi, you really like her?" asked Fang Yiwen doubtfully.    

"You have a doubt?"    

"I'm just wondering what kind of a relationship you can have with Miss Gou. From what I know, she studied medicine and didn't practice it for long and went into management. She is highly qualified and a capable woman. You sure, that's a good idea?"    

"What do you mean? I'm not good enough for her? I also studied business in college! Remember?"    

"I remember," Pei Zi Hong raised his hand. "How can I forget the day of her defense when you overslept and I had to take you on a ride on my bike."    

"Right. How can I forget that stupid bike of yours?" asked Huang Shuyi.    

"Hey!" Pei Zi Hong became sensitive.    

"What? It stopped after 2 miles. I had to run to catch up and almost missed my chance to graduate," reminded Huang Shuyi.    

"You can't blame my bike for that. The reality is that if you hadn't overslept, none of that would have happened."    

Huang Shuyi snorted at that. It was a real crime in this house to say a bad word about Pei Zi Hong's bike. It could cause a fight to break out.    

"And you also kicked my bike that day."    

"You should be glad it was just a kick."    

"Are we all done or not?" asked Lin Zhen. "Why do you all have so much to say? Our chat group is always buzzing and you still have something to say? I understand that we are seeing each other after weeks but I don't think it's been that long. Also, we have always been in contact too."    

"Zhen Ge, don't pour cold water on our heated reunion," said Hyson. The others only dared to nod slightly agreeing with Hyson but didn't dare to voice out their opinion in front of Lin Zhen. Who made Hyson the youngest and Lin Zhen the oldest here? Only the youngest in the house can challenge the oldest in the house. This rule can't be broken and they dare not mess with this rule too.

"But I have serious business to discuss with you all," said Lin Zhen. "Why do you all keep acting like I'm not even here?"    

"We know you are here," said Hyson. "It's just that we are also used to your silent presence."        

    

"I want to talk about our group activities," started Lin Zhen.      

"We are going back to work?" asked Huang Shuyi.    

"Aren't you already working on that dance reality show?"      

"That's different," said Huang Shuyi. "That's not my real job."    

"True," agreed Lin Zhen.    

"But didn't I hear that Zi Hong Ge is gonna announce his engagement within this period of time?" asked Fang Yiwen.    

"That's what I want to confirm too," said Lin Zhen. "I've been working on our new album and I want to know what you all think about it."    

When they all looked at Pei Zi Hong, he smiled sheepishly, "After Rourou is done with the shoot, we are indeed planning to announce our engagement. In fact, our families already confirmed the dates and all. We are only delaying to match Rourou's schedule." He took a pause and added, "Will it affect our schedule? Would we have to postpone the album because of this?"    

"No," answered Lin Zhen. "I don't think so."    

"I think we shouldn't overthink this. The company won't interfere with our decision now. So, let's release the news of our album and Ge's engagement one after the other. This way, one thing can offset the other."    

"And what if it affected our comeback?" asked Pei Zi Hong worriedly. He didn't want to trouble them again.      

"Zi Hong Ge, if you don't want trouble? I suggest you release the news of your engagement or even marriage right now," suggested Hyson.    

"Why?"    

"Because no one will care," said Fang Yiwen. "After all, right now who cares about you when the biggest headlines are all about the relationship between President Raelle and Master Xian? Who would even think about a small fry like you?"    

"You have to insult me like this?" asked Pei Zi Hong.    

"He isn't embarrassing you," said Huang Shuyi. "He is indeed telling the truth. If you really don't want any waves, then choose this time to release any news. At this time, people are only curious about what this engagement banquet looked like and who were the guests and what they wore."
