Master’s Untamed Wife

Chapter 1273 Stop Eating Meat

"And why would we need your help?" asked Raelle.

"Because bestie, you ain't helping anyway," retorted Hyson innocently. Receiving Raelle's look, he cleared his throat and added, "Don't get me wrong but I am not lying either. You are not helpful at all. And if I can help with such a tiny thing, I'd be more than happy to do so. Besides, no one is letting me do anything. All the wedding matters are in Yanyan and Xian Ge's hands. I feel left out."

"You focus on work," said Shui Xian. "I can manage things. And if I do need some help, I'll look for you. But I think you have a good suggestion. With my brain, I'd want to choose all the photos, so it's better to listen to your opinion too."

"It's difficult to make a choice everything looks good," said Hyson.

Shui Xian nodded his head, "Indeed, and with Raelle in the pictures, I don't think I'd able to dislike any picture at all."

"Do you both have a lot of free time on hand?" asked Raelle. "It's Justin's birthday. Stop talking about our wedding preparations."

"I don't know how these two things clash with each other. If we were Justin's age, we could still go and play with him but we can't. And we don't have children to talk about too. So, we can just talk about other things which we are interested in. If you're not interested, cover your ears or go away."

Raelle pointed at herself, "Hyson, did you just tell me to go away?"

"Yes!"

Raelle gave the two of them a look and said, "Fine, I'll go away then." With that, she walked away.

"You really dare to say whatever is on your mind to her, eh?" "Why can't I? I can say and do whatever I feel like it. How is this anything new, Xian Ge?"

"It's nothing new for real. But it's odd that without arguing, Raelle went away."

Hyson paused and had a thoughtful look on his face, "Right. She didn't even bother to argue. That's odd."

"She doesn't bother with a lot of things these days," said Shui Xian. "It might just be me, but I feel like she is developing a Buddhist personality all of a sudden."

"Oh, is she planning to be a monk? That's impossible, she can't stop eating meat after getting the taste of it," said Hyson suggestively.

Shui Xian gave him a hard look, "You should really get your mind out of the gutter." 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝓸𝒎

"Am I wrong?"

Shui Xian shook his head, "No, you're not wrong." He looked at someone and bumped his arm, "Your father is over there."

Hyson gave a casual glance and didn't take it heart, "What can I do about that?"

"You don't take him seriously at all."

"Isn't that obvious?"

"But it's different now. He is trying to woo your mum."

"It's still the same to me. Whether they get together or not, my attitude won't change towards him."

"You're very consistent with your ideas," commented Shui Xian.

"Is it too heartless of me to say that accepting a godfather is easier than a father?"

Shui Xian was slightly taken aback when he heard that and didn't answer immediately. He had to evaluate the situation from Hyson's point of view and when he did that, he realized that Zhai Kuijun was like an open wound in Hyson's life, and even if he came back into his life, it wouldn't fill the void that had existed in Hyson's life.

But on the other hand, it's different for the godfather, Xia Zhao. It's more like getting to know a new friend who is easy to talk to and is also very knowledgeable. Besides, since there aren't many emotions involved, it's easier for Hyson to accept a godfather than a father who has been absent for years.

"What are you looking at, Ge?"

"Nothing," replied Shui Xian.

"You didn't answer me."

Shui Xian pursed his lips before answering honestly, "I can't call you heartless when I don't understand many things. Maybe it's easier for me to forgive and forget considering how I know that Uncle Kuijun had never known about your existence at all and technically, he isn't at fault. But that's me as a bystander. It's different for you. You had to grow up in an environment where you're called fatherless. Those wounds left by people's words aren't so easily healed or forgotten for that matter. You do what you feel like. Stop pondering over it once you have made your decision."

"Right? I should stop doubting my own decision and stop looking for others' opinions."

"Yes, you should," agreed Shui Xian. "It's your life, live it on your terms. At least, learn to live it on your terms. I feel like the only thing you have ever done following your heart was running after Raelle like an obsession."

"How did you know?"

"Shouldn't I know that by now?" asked Shui Xian.

Hyson stopped talking when he heard that. "Ge..."

"Hm?"

"How are you feeling?"

"Why are you asking that out of nowhere?" asked Shui Xian strangely.

"Because..." Hyson stopped and didn't know how to continue right now. He really didn't want to bring up this topic.

Shui Xian seemed to have read through his hesitation and patted his shoulder, "I'm fine. At least, I can express my sadness. You should be more worried about Raelle right now. She hadn't been fine since we came."

Hyson looked at the three kids who were playing happily with balls and felt complicated. It'd be weird if Raelle didn't feel okay after coming here to see this lively scene. Wouldn't it only remind her of the child she lost? How could someone like forget that child so easily? "There are a lot of people to worry about her. I feel like I should be worried about you right now."

"Why? Do you think I'll start crying here?"

"I won't laugh at you even if you cried right now. In fact, I might lend you my shoulder."

Shui Xian extended his hand and patted his head saying, "Thank you for being so considerate."
