Master’s Untamed Wife

Chapter 1263 Ordinary Guy



Chapter 1263 Ordinary Guy

Xia Zhao sat for two hours watching Mu Chenyan venting her emotions. In fact, she had long lost her irritability. But then she started having a little too much in playing with her employees and that's how it prolonged to over two hours.

Only after having a round with every single person in the gym apart from Xia Zhao, Mu Chenyan stopped and looked at him, "You're still here?"

"Do you not want me here?" he asked.

"That's not what I meant," she replied. Xia Zhao passed her a towel to dry her sweat and then he brought her water. "Are you feeling better now?" he asked.

Mu Chenyan drank the whole bottle of water and sighed. Looking at him, she answered, "What does it look like?"

"You look a lot better now," he told her. Mu Chenyan came to sit down beside him and said, "You wasted so much time just watching this. That's not like you at all."

"I wasn't wasting time," said Xia Zhao. "I was watching you."

Mu Chenyan paused and pursed her lips, "And that isn't wasting time?"

"If it is, I think I can practically waste my whole life doing it."

Mu Chenyan had an indescribable expression on her face but her heart was also going through turmoil. He looked so serious that she almost got flustered.

She hit his arm saying, "Please, stop."

"Okay."

"You know, I always thought if you made a little effort, the relationship between you and your mother could get better. After losing my mother, I found my godmother. So, I wasn't able to really relate to your relationship with your mother. But after losing my godmother, I seriously thought you should do something to fix that relationship before it's too late. After all, life doesn't give you all that many chances."

Xia Zhao listened to her without disturbing her at all. He knew he just had to be here to hear what she had to say.

"However, I changed my mind today."

"Oh? How? No, why?" he asked.

"Isn't it obvious?" she asked in return. "It's because of that An Ran who is still able to call herself your fiancee so rightfully. Where did she get this courage? Didn't it come from your mother? What did that mean? It means she still thinks you're the puppet whose strings are in her hands."

"Sometimes you're very good at seeing through people," said Xia Zhao. "But you have always had a very bad habit."

"What?"

"You like giving people the benefit of the doubt once your heart softens up a little and that always leads to disasters."

Mu Chenyan went silent and didn't refute his words. "Actually, I have a lot of bad habits," she said. "And I don't even need to list them all for you considering you already know each and every single one of my bad habits." She took a pause and added, "I'm also a very bad person. Flawed. Twisted. Dark. Doesn't it bother you?"

"If it did, we wouldn't have come this long in life," replied Xia Zhao. "You like to tell people that you're perfect but you always like to tell me just how many flaws you have."

"People are different from you. I have nothing to hide from Zhao. I can't hide anything from you anyway. So, I try to come clean in front of you to save myself the uncomfortable feeling of being seen through."

"Yan Zi!"

"Hm?"

"I have never had a problem with what you are. After all these years apart, I have to realize what I want from you."

"And what is that?" she asked as she supported her chin with her hand and looked into his eyes.

"I want you. All of you. I want you every day. No matter if you're mad at me or when you're irritated. Whether I piss you off or make you go crazy. I still want you. I want your happy days and as much as I don't like seeing you sad, I'd still love to be there in your sad days too. I want to be there in your 'I want to murder someone' days and I want to be there in your 'I want to bury a body' nights too. I want to be the reason you're happy because you're the reason for my laughter every day. You said I live a very boring life. I do. I accept I do. I did all the same things over and over again in the past two decades without looking forward to anything. But once I received the call that someone wanted to buy my painting, I knew what looking forward to something actually felt like. Because I was damn excited to be able to see you again. I wanna hold you in my arms. I wanna hold you and stay up all night just talking about some random things that don't even actually matter. And even though I know you don't need my protection, I'd still like to protect you from all the evils of the world. I just wanna love you. Is that too much to ask for?"

Mu Chenyan couldn't bear the intensity of his eyes and closed her eyes as if by doing so, she'd be able to hide from it all. Teardrops slid down her cheeks and Xia Zhao was a bit shaken by her reaction. He hugged her in his arms.

"What's wrong? Why are you crying? Am I really asking for too much? Is that why you're crying?"

Mu Chenyan hit his chest and he laughed softly in response.

He held her face in his hands and kissed her eyes before kissing her lips. Mu Chenyan clutched the collar of his shirt tightly as his hand slid behind her neck and held her possessively.

As he pulled away, he whispered against her lips, "I forgot to mention just now. I really wanted to kiss you too. So, can I?"

Mu Chenyan looked straight into his eyes, "You didn't ask before kissing just now."

"Right. I did not do that."

And with that, he kissed her even more deeply. Eventually, he ended up lying on the floor with her body sprawled on him. "You know, I did enjoy the fact that you were jealous earlier. But I don't wanna repeat that too."

"Huh?"

"Because that would mean I failed somehow."

"That's being too harsh on yourself," she said. "After all, as long as you have this face, someone will be getting attracted by you even when we are just walking down the streets. I once thought I'd find myself an ordinary guy with an ordinary face. It'll save me a lot of trouble. But I learned ordinary guys also have their own problems. At least, with you, I can eat an extra bowl of rice."

Xia Zhao smiled, "Really? I remember you said you could eat an extra bowl after seeing me because you get so angry with my face that it allows you to eat a little more. Was that a lie?"

"No. It was true when I said that. Now, it isn't. Things have changed now."

"Is that so?" he asked. "Anyway, earlier really wasn't your problem. It was mine. I can't bear even a single grain of sand in my eye. That's truly my own problem and has nothing to do with you."

"It could be a problem for others who want to see that as a problem but I never did. So, I'm okay with it."

Mu Chenyan gave him a look, "You're okay with everything."

"Only when it involves you. Otherwise, I'm a very picky person in life."

"I know." She slowly got up from his body and said, "I'm smelly. Don't say you don't mind that. You love cleanliness with a passion. Don't always go against your principles for me."

"I guess it has become a habit now."

"It's a bad habit."

"I guess I deserve to get away with at least one bad habit in this relationship, no?"

Mu Chenyan shook her head at him and said, "I'm gonna take a shower. Are you gonna wait or are you leaving now?"

"What do you suggest?" Mu Chenyan gave him a look as he went on, "I'll do what you say."

"Then how about you join me for this shower?"

Xia Zhao was left speechless and Mu Chenyan enjoyed his look way too much.

She lowered her voice and said, "So? Do you..."

"Don't repeat that question. I will really take it seriously this time."

Mu Chenyan pursed her lips and then smiled at him as she turned to leave, "Go home. It's too late. It's already your sleep time." As she walked past him, she stopped and said, "By the way, my offer wasn't a joke. I was very serious. Tough luck that you didn't take it seriously." With a teasing look, she skipped away leaving him standing there with a complicated look.

"I'm glad her heart is still as playful as ever."
