Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 853 Memory Gaps

　　"You always say girls are a trouble," added Mu Chenyan. "You have the least patience for girls. Your patience is mostly limited to Raelle."

　　Hyson's eyes flashed as he smiled, "Yanyan knows best. And you're not wrong. I really don't have that much patience. And I still stand by my words. Girls are trouble. Take my manager, for instance, she argued with her boyfriend because his family wanted to send him on blind dates. The poor guy refused his family but he was still considered to be the wrong party. Does it even make sense?"

　　"It seems you really spent hours listening to her relationship problems and even came to realize the problem," said Mu Chenyan.

　　"It wasn't that difficult," he said. "I don't know why the people in a relationship can't understand it when I as the third party can see figure out everything?"

　　"Don't get worked up," she patted his head. "When you're in a relationship, you purposely start ignoring some things."

　　"Ellie is right then. Feelings are the real problem," said Hyson.

　　Mu Chenyan poked his forehead, "Don't always listen to her. It's because of her that you like to look at everything objectively."

　　"Isn't that a good thing?" he asked.

　　"I've also been trying to figure out for years now whether it's good to be so objective or not?"

　　Hyson was quiet for a while before he questioned, "Who did you see yesterday?"

　　"A friend," the answer didn't come from Mu Chenyan. Hyson looked up and saw Xiang Wai who answered his question with a cheeky smile. "Aunt even treated us to milk tea yesterday after she introduced us to her friend."

　　Hyson felt like he was being provoked. But did he look that easy to provoke? Why didn't he know that? He simply looked at Mu Chenyan who explained, "They were having dinner with their mother in the same restaurant."

　　That much was enough for Hyson to piece together everything and he looked at Xiang Wai, "You met your mother yesterday? She came? Where is she? You didn't invite her home?"

　　Xiang Wai was taken aback by his enthusiasm. She was dumbstruck. What was this? What was wrong with him?

　　"No, she just had lunch with us, and then she had to leave," replied Xiang Wai.

　　Hyson tsked at that. "What a bummer!"

　　Xiang Wai couldn't understand his reaction at all so she ended up asking, "Why do you look so interested in my mom?"

　　"I'm not interested in your mom," he answered. "I'm interested in Ellie's mother."

　　"Isn't it the same thing?" Xiang Wai rolled her eyes at him.

　　"You're right," he agreed. "At first, I was interested in knowing Ellie's mother to know where she got that brain from but now I'm even more curious to know how the same person gave birth to someone like you?"

　　Xiang Wai glared at him, "You! What is wrong with me, huh?"

　　"There is plenty wrong," said Hyson. "If I started listing it down it'll take days."

　　"Fai!"

　　"Yes!"

　　"Stop teasing Wai," said Mu Chenyan.

　　"Okay," agreed Hyson. "Anyway, she is not fun to tease. I'd rather go and tease Ellie."

　　"Are you sure it's more fun to tease her? She won't even react," stated Xiang Wai.

　　"Maybe that's the fun part, she doesn't even react to anything," was Hyson's response.

　　"How about you come with me to an exhibition today?" suggested Mu Chenyan to Hyson.

　　Hyson distanced himself from her, "Yanyan, I'm not into that stuff. Why don't you take my mom?"

　　"It's because your mom doesn't have time."

　　Hyson clutched his chest, "So, the first person you thought of was really my mom and only thought of me when she wasn't available. How cruel! My poor heart is broken."

　　"Dramatic!"

　　Hyson glared at Xiang Wai, "Don't be so critical. Learn something from me."

　　"What is there to learn?" she asked.

　　"Maybe my acting skills," he retorted. "You never know when they might come in handy."

　　Xiang Wai gave him a displeased look and looked away but Hyson didn't care about her reaction at all. He was still giving Mu Chenyan an aggrieved look.

　　She rubbed his head saying, "Isn't it because I know you don't like this stuff that I asked Yue to come with me? But if you both don't go, I can only go alone."

　　"Don't use excuses now," said Hyson. "No wonder people always mistake you and mum as a couple. Who wouldn't mistake it? Even I'm starting to believe it now."

　　Mu Chenyan laughed out before she hooked her arm around his neck and pulled him close saying, "Then what do you say about having me as a father?"

　　Hyson gave her a look, "I don't mind. Anyway, you already played that role before the public."

　　Something hit his head and Hyson froze. He looked up at his mother who actually rolled up the magazine to hit his head. He was in disbelief for a moment before he held his head saying, "OW! That hurts! My brain is broken now!"

　　"Your reaction is a bit late," reminded Xiang Wai. 

　　Hyson didn't pay attention to her, he was still looking at his mother, "Mum, how can you hit your son like this? What if my head is broken and I become dumb? The brain is a sensitive matter, you should take it seriously. Didn't you see how Tang Hebe got a concussion and developed memory gaps? Even if she recovered now, she still has some minor memory gaps. So, don't hit my head what if I forgot you? No, worse! What if I forgot Ellie?"

　　"Forgetting your best friend is worse than forgetting your mother?" asked Xiang Wai.

　　"Of course," he replied matter of factly. "If I forgot mum, she'll still try to remind me that she is my mum. But if I forgot Ellie, she is gonna pat her bum and walk away. Forgetting all about me. Where will I get my best friend then?" Seeing how she looked confused he added, "I've always been the one holding on to Ellie, not the other way around! So, I can't forget her!"
