Master's Untamed Wife

Grandfather Xiang was more than happy to see Raelle. If there was someone keeping this old man going at this age, that has to be Raelle and Hyson. Both of these younger ones of this family were his lifeline.

Raelle came to kneel before his wheelchair and fixed the blanket on his legs saying, "How are you, Opa?"

Grandfather Xiang lovingly caressed her head, "I'm good now that I have seen you." He held her face in his hands and leaned to kiss the top of her head, "You tell me, my Raelle, how are you? Is that Koshing and his son treating you well? Let me know if they did anything to upset you, I'll deal with both of them. Although I'm old, I can still show my might."

"Opa, that's not even a question," replied Raelle. "Both my father in law and my husband are good people. Do you really think they would mistreat me?"

"I know they wouldn't," agreed Grandfather Xiang with a sigh. "But you're my family's precious. I still worry about you."

Raelle nodded her head in understanding, "That I know as well. You have never stopped worrying about me."

Raelle sat with her grandfather for ten minutes before she took her leave. While she was leaving, she ran into Mu Chenyan who had been waiting for her. She smiled and put a box in her hand, "Take this with you. I made these snacks today. You enjoy it with that husband of yours."

The way she said 'that husband of yours' sounded so sour that even Raelle noticed it. However, she didn't comment about that.

Raelle took those snacks from her and left.

And just as she left, Yue descended from the stairs. Seeing Mu Chenyan standing at there, looking at the door with a sad look in her eyes, Yue was taken aback. She came beside her and even had to tap her shoulder to get her attention. Mu Chenyan turned her head and looked at her best friend. "Oh, you're up."

'Why do you look so down?'

Mu Chenyan sighed, "Nothing. It's just that I think no matter how much time passes, I won't be getting used to seeing my Elle leaving this home."

Yue Yue processed her words and questioned, 'Raelle came?'

"Yeah," answered Mu Chenyan.

Yue Yue slapped her arm, 'Why didn't you inform me?'

Mu Chenyan rubbed her arm where she was slapped and looked at her with grievance, "She wouldn't want to disturb your rest. Besides, she only stayed about less than half an hour. But don't worry, she'll be coming tomorrow for dinner." She took a pause and added, "Now that I think about it, we have to prepare a lot for tomorrow's dinner. After all, we invited Fai's group mates as well. We can't lose our Fai's face. I should start thinking about the menu."

Yue Yue was left baffled as she watched how Mu Chenyan was suddenly lost in her own world, rambling. Yue Yue facepalmed herself and silently listened to My Chenyan who continued to plan things for tomorrow's dinner even though they had yet to eat today's dinner.

...

On the other hand, when Shui Xian came back home, he didn't find his wife just as she had told him in the morning that she'd be slightly late since she planned on making a visit next door.

Shui Xian didn't think much about it but clearly, his father did who was giving him a displeased and disdainful look since the time he arrived at home.

"Ba," called out Shui Xian. "Is everything okay?"

"Do you even care, you unfilial son?" Shui Koshing seemed like he had been waiting for this question to start shooting back at his son.

Shui Xian pursed his lips and looked at his father's face, "Are you not done? You scolded me for 30 minutes over the phone."

Shui Koshing snorted, "That definitely wasn't enough." He showed his grievance as he poured out, "Couldn't you have listened to your mother and got together with Raelle sooner? Even if not marriage, you could have dated her. Why did you have to make me wait for so long to find a daughter?"

Shui Xian really had nothing to say in response. He actually knew why his father was acting like this. The respect, admiration, and the status that Raelle gave to Shui Koshing, no one else had done it. Neither his ex-wife nor his own sister.

As long as it was reasonable, Raelle was willing to listen to Shui Koshing's advice. She was even willing to give into his unreasonable demands as long as it was not harmful. She truly looked like a daughter who was pampering her father.

Considering just these points, it was obvious why Shui Koshing felt like it was a huge loss that he met Raelle so late.

However, fate had its own plans. Although his mother had stated clearly to him that she wanted him to marry Raelle, he had his own plans. And since neither his father nor his mother ever tried to force their children, they stepped back once Shui Xian made it clear that he was interested in someone else. That heartbreak was meant to be his. It couldn't be changed. However, Raelle was also meant to be his. Or else, fate wouldn't have brought him back to this path which only led to her.

But there was one thing that made even Shui Xian's heart shake. He knew what Raelle as his wife looked like. How about Raelle as his girlfriend? What would that had been like?

Definitely exciting!

Such a pity that he wouldn't know that in this life. What a shame!

"Ba," started Shui Xian. "It's all your son's fault. Stop thinking about it now. No matter what, now you have Raelle as your daughter. Isn't that enough?"

Shui Koshing scoffed but didn't comment. He could only silently agree with his son. It's not like he was seriously mad at his son for this. But he couldn't help being a little sour either.

A father and son's relationship had always been a bit complicated. Even if they loved each other, they would never say it in words. But they would every way to argue and go against each other.

When Raelle came back, she found her husband and father in law in the parlor. She came to join them and said hello.

"Oh, my daughter in law is back," said Shui Koshing jollily, completely forgetting his earlier displeasure. "Come, sit with me for a while. I have something to show you."

Raelle stepped over and sat down beside Shui Koshing who pulled out his phone and started showing her pictures he clicked in the day.

"See, how is our front garden looking? At this time, you couldn't have noticed it. So I clicked these during the day. Look how all these flowers brightened up the whole garden. Right?"

Raelle look at the photos and nodded her head in agreement, "Looks beautiful."

Shui Koshing was satisfied to hear that.

"I talked to Chenyan and Yue today," told Shui Koshing. "These women have so many ideas that I couldn't even keep up with them. However, each idea was absolutely brilliant."

"They both have creative minds," stated Raelle. "Although their creativeness works in different directions."

"That's true," said Shui Koshing. "They got into a heated discussion once I mentioned my plan to make a whole flower viewing forest. But I have to say, I loved it how their brains work."

"If you continue to spend time with them, they'll blow your mind with their ideas," said Raelle. There was no way around it. She knew how Mu Chenyan was and how Yue Yue was.

Mu Chenyan's ideas mostly leaned towards bold and unconventional side. While Yue Yue always kept her elegance and beauty involved in her ideas.

Although both have contradictory creativeness, it worked well when they worked together.

"I'll show you once we come up with the whole design," said Shui Koshing. "I have to do something. I'll see you both on dinner table." With that he stood up and left them.

Shui Xian finally got the chance so he stood up and sat beside his wife. Encircling his arm around her back, he pulled her towards his body and asked, "How was your day, Wifey?"

Raelle comfortably leaned against him and replied, "Same old."

"Did you miss me?" He asked.

"Was I supposed to?" She retorted. "Let me know next time. I'll remember to miss you then."

Shui Xian tsked at that while inwardly he was really amused. He pinched her cheek gently, "Babes, how can you even say that? You should miss me without even me telling you to."

"Oh," was the only thing she said in reply.

Shui Xian kissed her temple and said, "Shall we freshen up? Then let's eat dinner."

"Okay," agreed Raelle.

"What's in that box?" Questioned Shui Xian when he saw the box on the coffee table.

"Yanyan gave me some snacks," replied Raelle.

Shui Xian immediately opened the box and took a choco chip biscuit before taking a bite. "Mm.... So good!"
