Master's Untamed Wife

Raelle had her eyes closed on their drive back home. For a moment, even Shui Xian thought she was asleep but he didn't question it though. He just found it strange considering how Raelle never had the habit of taking naps. Her sleep time was very consistent.

"Why are we here?" she opened her eyes to ask him when he turned into the driveway. "Aren't we going home?"

"We are home," he said to her. "I just thought we should see Grandpa before going to our other home."

He so naturally called Xiang's place as their home as well. Not that Raelle wanted to disagree with that. She also found his words reasonable. "We should indeed see Opa. I haven't seen him in a while."

Raelle slighted from the car but didn't move until Shui Xian joined her. She used her fingerprint to unlock the door and sauntered in without any care in the world. She never had to inform anyone that she was coming over, neither did she have any need of ringing the bell to enter her own home.

Just as she entered, she could actually hear more than one voice coming from the front living room. That caught her attention and she followed the voice in. Her footsteps paused when she reached the door. That's because she instantly noticed a few extra people in the room. Xiang Weimin and Xiang Wai were still sitting on the sofa together. Meanwhile, Zhai Yanjun was serving tea to everyone.

Apart from these three new faces, she didn't think Shui Koshing was an extra person in the room. But the sight of those three together was really something she didn't think of seeing. She did place a bet with Xiang Wai but who knew she would really come on the same day? At least, Raelle didn't think so. And she didn't know that Xiang Weimin was here as well.

"What is this? A gathering of broken people?" asked Raelle but her voice wasn't really loud. That's why only Shui Xian who stood beside her heard those words.

He patted his wife's shoulder and said, "Darling, that's not nice."

"Oh," was the only response Raelle gave to him.

On the other hand, Shui Xian was trying to suppress his laughter. He had to say, his wife really had some great words to say. 'Gathering of broken people'? He looked at Xiang Weimin then his eyes moved to Xiang Wai and finally, his gaze settled on Zhai Yanjun. Oh, she was speaking the truth as always. These three were really... broken.

He couldn't bring himself to disagree with his wife's evaluation. For one, she was never wrong. For two, he wasn't blind. He tsked to himself. Damaged kids from damaged families.

And then he looked back at his wife, she surely didn't look like a damaged person. But most of the credit for that surely goes to Mu Chenyan, Grandfather Xiang, and Hyson.

"Opa!" Raelle called out and only then did everyone in the room noticed her presence. She walked over to Grandfather Xiang's side and kneeled down before Grandfather Xian as she always did. She looked up at him while Grandfather Xiang was still just looking at her in surprise. "Did you forget me already, Opa?"

Grandfather Xiang frowned and patted her head, "How is that possible? How can I ever forget my treasure?" He caressed her hair lovingly, "I was just not expecting to see you here."

"Why? Am I not allowed to come whenever I want to just because you married me off?"

Grandfather Xiang pinched her nose, "How is that possible? Don't spout nonsense!"

"Ellie," Mu Chenyan called out.

Raelle waved at her, "Hi, Yanyan! Hi, Yue! What's up, Bà? Yo, Yanjun is also here."

Grandfather Xiang was still looking at his granddaughter lovingly and said, "Are you forgetting something?"

"Am I?"

Grandfather Xiang raised his brows at her and Raelle finally turned to others, "Hello, Lieutenant and Major Xiang."

Grandfather Xiang tsked at her, "Is that how you should greet them?"

Raelle had a staring contest with her grandfather for a minute before she turned back to her siblings and said, "Hi, Brother! Hello, Sister!"

Both Xiang Weimin and Xiang Wai were stunned when they heard her greeting them like that. They were not expecting to meet Raelle here as well. But they definitely didn't expect to hear the words like brother and sister from her either. It was obvious that they met before but Raelle had a very different opinion of them when they met before.

"Opa, are you happy?" asked Raelle as she placed her head on his legs.

Grandfather Xiang indulgingly continued to caress her head, "Yes. I'm very happy today."

"That's good," said Raelle. "Raelle wants to see you happy."

"Oh? Is that so? Then grandfather would be happier if you let him call you Yenay from now."

"No!" came Raelle's answer immediately. "That's not up for discussion."

Grandfather Xiang chuckled at her words. "Yes, yes. It has never been up for discussion."

"Bà, did you have dinner??" asked Raelle.

"I have," answered Shui Koshing. "What about you my dear daughter-in-law?"

"You can ask that to your son as well," said Shui Xian as he came to sit beside his father.

"You won't die even if you skipped a meal," responded Shui Koshing. "So, daughter-in-law, did you have fun today?"

"Fun. I think so," said Raelle. "We went horse riding. Opa, I lost the race."

"How is the possible?" asked Grandfather Xiang and Mu Chenyan at the same time.

"How can my Ellie lose? Who won?"

"My husband did," said Raelle.

Mu Chenyan looked at Shui Xian, "He won? With his skills? How is that even possible?"

"Yanyan, you're looking down on me," Shui Xian pointed out.

"When have I not?" she retorted.

"Chenyan," Grandfather Xiang spoke up. "Stop it. That's our family's son-in-law. Learn to behave a little."

"Yes, big boss!" said Mu Chenyan but anyone could she was being perfunctory.

With Shui Xian, she believed she was already very nice. She was indeed very nice to Shui Xian. If it had been anyone else. Hehehe.... They wouldn't have survived until now.
