Master’s Untamed Wife

Chapter 284 - A Little Scary



Chapter 284 – A Little Scary

While Hyson and Raelle were on their way home, Mu Chenyan was busy moving around in the kitchen trying to make every single thing that Hyson had requested. She was spinning like a top. She didn't let a single person help her as she wanted to do everything on her own.

Even Yue Yue was told to just wait aside. And that's why Yue was leisurely eating an apple as she watched Mu Chenyan busying around. She found it quite amusing that Hyson was her son and yet, it was Mu Chenyan who never said no to him for anything. 

She wanted to take Hyson back home from the hospital but both Mu Chenyan and Grandfather Xiang strongly disagreed with her decision. They said Hyson had to stay at Xiang Manor until he completely recovered. And because of this, she was also dragged here. After all, Hyson would not live here unless his mom stayed as well.

*Ding-Dong!*

Seeing how Mu Chenyan was busy and the house help was already given a day off, Yue stood up and walked over to the door when she heard the doorbell. As she pulled open the wooden door, she looked at the young man whose back was towards her.

But hearing the sound of the door opening, the young man turned around with a big smile plastered on his face. Yue sucked in a breath when she saw the face of the young man.

Seeing the young man before her, she felt like she traveled back in time and it made her heart ache a little.

"Oh, aren't you the lady I met at the sanitorium in Nanzhou?" questioned the young man in surprise. Zhai Yanjun was truly surprised to see Yue. Although their last meeting was brief, he still remembered it. Because the woman before him gave him not only a familiar feeling but he strangely felt like he knew her. 

As for how or why he had such feelings, he really couldn't understand at all. 

Yue didn't know how to react, so she only nodded her head in response to his question. She didn't think he'd remember their meeting. After all, she was just like any other insignificant stranger to him. But clearly, that wasn't the case with him. Zhai Yanjun really didn't consider her to be an insignificant stranger. 

"Yue, who is at the door?" With a rolling pin in her hand, Mu Chenyan came from behind and looked at Zhai Yanjun. She had been rolling dumping sheets when the doorbell rang, she originally didn't want to come out. But realizing that she and Yue were the only people at home, she ran out with the rolling pin in her hand. "Who are you and why do you look so familiar?" questioned Mu Chenyan as she stared at Zhai Yanjun's face intently. For a moment, she couldn't recall who he was.

Zhai Yanjun bowed his head saying, "Hello, I'm Zhai Yanjun. I'm here to see Granduncle Xiang Tianyu."

Mu Chenyan's eyes widened as she immediately recalled who he was. 

"Now, I remember it!" growled Mu Chenyan. "You're the guy who didn't even have the decency to show up at the blind date!"

Zhai Yanjun pursed his lips not knowing what to say to that. As soon as he came back, he took advantage of his off day and came to apologize to Xiang Tianyu in person. He knew his grandparents had already come to sort out things but he had been meaning to come himself all this time. Since he was the one to make the mistake, he had to be the one to apologize in person!

"About that…" Zhai Yanjun parted his lips to explain but how could short-tempered Mu Chenyan give him an opportunity to do so?

Rasing her rolling pin, she attacked him. Staying in the military for years, obviously, Zhai Yanjun had keen senses and keener reflexes. So, he avoided the attack on reflex easily. And since he avoided the hit, it actually annoyed Mu Chenyan further.

"You dare to avoid it?"

"I can explain," said Zhai Yanjun.

Mu Chenyan scoffed at him, "You think I care about your explanation? You actually insulted my Elle by not showing up on that blind date. Do I look like I give a damn about your explanation?"

Zhai Yanjun gave her a deep bow, "I'm extremely sorry for what I did."

Seeing how Mu Chenyan was about to hit him again and Zhai Yanjun didn't have any intention to avoid it, Yue stepped up and opened her arms to stop Mu Chenyan from continuing.

"Yue, step aside! I'm gonna beat him to a pulp today!"

Yue shook her head and glared at Mu Chenyan in ager, 'You, back down!'

"Why should I? He is the one at fault!" Mu Chenyan felt like she was a kid complaining to her mom trying to justify her actions. To be very honest, she knew she was being unreasonable, but considering the fact that her Elle was too reasonable, she had to be the unreasonable one for her sake. She never liked it when people disrespected her Elle. 

She didn't mind that Zhai Yanjun didn't like Raelle or didn't want to go on that blind date with her. But what she found unbearable was that he didn't even have the decency to show up and apologize to her. She found it extremely disrespectful. And she wasn't gonna take it lying down.

Raelle was the sole purpose of her existence, and she didn't mind being the bad guy for her. 

Thinking about it, Mu Chenyan moved her hands and managed to smack Zhai Yanjun's head. Yue pulled her away, 'Stop it right now or I won't be nice to you!'

Mu Chenyan looked at Yue incredulously, "You're trying to protect him?"

Zhai Yanjun hid behind Yue and said, "Ayi,[1] save me!"

Yue hid him behind her petite body and warned Mu Chenyan with her eyes to not make a move. Mu Chenyan was truly exasperated by this scene. 

Meanwhile, Zhai Yanjun was thinking about why he so familiarly moved behind Yue and even called her 'Ayi'? Not only that, he felt like he had done it way too many times. So many times that it became so natural for him to hide behind her with dependence quite palpable in his voice.

'He is our guest,' reminded Yue. 'You can't behave like this with a guest on our doorstep.'

Mu Chenyan snorted, "I'm an ill-bred person. Do you really think I would really consider all that? So what if he is our guest?"

'If you didn't step down, I'm leaving,' threatened Yue which stunned Mu Chenyan. She looked at Zhai Yanjun once again and then frowned. She found Yue's protectiveness towards this young man to be quite peculiar. 

As much as she knew about Yue, she could tell that Yue would not go against her for just anyone. Then this young man… She suddenly recalled the parents of Zhai Yanjun and snickered.

"Whatever!" With that, she stepped inside leaving them behind.

She really wished to beat that guy with her rolling pin once! But it's a shame that Yue saved him. If only, he had come around when Yue wasn't here! 

"Thank you!" said Zhai Yanjun with a smile. 

Yue turned around and looked at him. She couldn't help giving him a gentle and loving smile. She raised her hand and touched the side of his face. Zhai Yanjun didn't even find it strange at all. In fact, he leaned into her touch and found it quite comforting.

He could feel her genuine care from her touch and it really warmed his heart.

"Will you get in trouble for saving me?" he inquired.

Yue's brows knitted up slightly and shook her head. She parted her lips but then, she pulled out her phone and typed, 'Yan isn't a villain. She won't do anything to me. You don't have to worry about her.'

Zhai Yanjun breathed a sigh of relief, "That's a relief. I thought I got you into trouble."

Yue chuckled silently at how exaggeratedly he sighed as if Mu Chenyan was a monster who would eat him. 

"I never even found my training officer as scary as she seemed just now," remarked Zhai Yanjun.

Yue couldn't say anything to that. What could she possibly say? Mu Chenyan's momentum was scary and she knew it as well. It was just that on usual days, Mu Chenyan would reign on her temper. 

Yue grew up in an environment where girls had to be elegant and meek while Mu Chenyan grew up in the completely opposite environment. 

She typed again for Zhai Yanjun, 'She gets a little scary but she is actually a very nice person.'

Zhai Yanjun found it a little hard to believe that Mu Chenyan was a nice person. But then again, he had heard a thing or two about her from his grandparents so he already knew what he was getting himself into by coming here.
