Master's Untamed Wife

"I remember how those wives of those officers were trying to find a match for your son," laughed the woman in green as she recalled the memory. She certainly knew how reputable Xiang Weimin was in the wing. Adding on his merits with his good looks, which woman in their right mind would not find him as a perfect husband material or a son-in-law material?

She knew she did. It was such a shame that she had no daughter to match with him. Or else, she wouldn't have stopped.

Xiang Weimin didn't react to her words and continued to smile politely.

"Xin, have you been looking for a daughter-in-law?" asked the woman. "How about I help introduce someone?"

Suddenly, even before Song Xin'ai could comment, their Second Aunt appeared to join the conversation as she said, "Mrs. Gu, how can we bother you with such family matters? You're a busy person and shouldn't be troubled."

Mrs. Gu smiled good-naturedly at Second Aunt Song as she stated, "I don't find it troublesome. Xin is a friend. I'd love to help her out."

"Aiyo, but you don't know how my young sister-in-law has already her eyes on someone," stated Second Aunt Song proudly as she nudged her distant niece ahead. Subtly implying who exactly was Song Xin'ai's choice.

Mrs. Gu could see what she was doing. And she wasn't an easy person either. Since Second Aunt Song was so eager to but heads with her, then why not? She'd accompany her. She looked at Xiang Weimin and smiled, "I'm must be getting old now. I completely forgot that we live in the modern age now. How can we elders decide regarding such things? Our children are old enough to make their own decisions."

Second Aunt Song seemed to disagree, "How is that possible? We are still in a country where elders are respected. And following traditions doesn't make us old-fashioned. Our elders would certainly not make the wrong decision for us. After all, what they do is all for our own good. We might not understand it now but eventually, we all understand it." On one side, she was saying this for Xiang siblings and Song Xin'ai and on the other hand for Mrs. Gu. In fact, she wanted to say this more to Song Xin'ai but apart from Song Xin'ai, no one else could understand this point.

"Weimin, I didn't even ask you," continued Mrs. Gu completely ignoring Second Aunt Song's words. "Do you have a girlfriend?"

Second Aunt Song's smile stiffened as she stared at Xiang Weimin waiting to hear a reply.

Xiang Weimin shook his head, "I don't," was his reply.

Second Aunt Song sighed and then her smile brightened, "Our Weimin is really a traditional man. He doesn't date."

Xiang Weimin raised his brow at her in amusement, "I didn't say I'm not dating right now."

Mrs. Gu's brows also quirked up in interest as she waited for Xiang Weimin to continue while Second Aunt Song looked confused, "But didn't you say you don't have a girlfriend?"

"But I have a boyfriend," was his plain response that blew Second Aunt Song's mind.

Song Xin'ai only glanced at her son and didn't think much about it. Mrs. Gu was enjoying herself while holding her laughter back. Xiang Wai was also trying to control herself from laughing out loud. She wanted to kiss her brother right here. Sometimes, he was just too good at annoying people to death!

Only Second Aunt Song and her dear niece, Jiaojiao looked like someone sucked their whole blood. They just blinked at him, not knowing how to react.

"Second Sister, let's go. We should cut the cake now," suggested Song Xin'ai as she pulled her sister-in-law away.

Behind her, Mrs. Gu couldn't stop her laughter anymore and patted Xiang Weimin's shoulder, "You are too good."

Xiang Weimin looked at her, "I don't know what you're saying, I'm just speaking the truth."

Mrs. Gu sneered, "Of course, you are." She almost rolled her eyes at this man who was still immersed in his lie. She had heard how single he was at that banquet. He was not only single but he was also called the man who married his work! More precisely, his aircraft models! He was obsessed with it to the point that he neither liked to socialize nor did he date anyone.

But it could also be possible that he had a hidden lover. Who was she to pry into it?

"But even if you do have a boyfriend, that's even better! I wish you luck for the future!"

Xiang Weimin was certainly amused by her reaction. Xiang Wai however couldn't hold herself back from asking, "Mrs. Gu, I heard Dr. Gu is a very strict and conservative person. How do you both make this marriage work?"

Mrs. Gu looked proud as she sipped on her champagne and told her, "I bring the smiles he lacks in his life and he knocks the sense into my head that I lack. In this way, we both bring something to the table that the other needs. Isn't it perfect?"

Xiang Wai nodded her head in understanding, "You're amusing and very interesting. You must have been a cool person in your youth?"

Mrs. Gu shook her head, "Nah! I was a wreck back then. The coolest one was definitely your aunt Chenyan."

Xiang Wai and Xiang Weimin looked straight at her as she continued with nostalgia, "No one could match her coolness or swagger! She was the standard back then."

"You knew Mu Chenyan?" asked Xiang Wai.

Mrs. Gu nodded her head, "I not only knew her. We were classmates as well. We even joined the medical school together and surprisingly, we even left it together." She sighed, "I haven't seen her in so long but I can still remember her very well." She smiled at Xiang Wai and added, "Especially, when I look at you."

She didn't add anything and left the siblings looking at her receding back. They both had the same question in their mind, why did Xiang Wai remind her of Mu Chenyan? Shouldn't people be reminded of their mother looking at Xiang Wai since they looked so similar?
