Master's Untamed Wife-Chapter 948: Evil Schemer

In a daze, walking back Xiang Wai ran into Zhai Yanjun who asked, "Wai, didn't you go to find Raelle? Did you see her?"

Xiang Wai seemed to have not heard his question at all. Her eyes were unfocused and she looked soulless right now. Zhai Yanjun frowned. This was not how he sent her. She was just gone for five minutes and became like this? What happened?

He held her shoulder and stared into her eyes, "Wai! Come back to earth!"

"Oh? Ohh? W-what? What happened?"

"I'm asking you that, what happened? Why do you look so lost?" asked Zhai Yanjun.

The information she just heard from Raelle and Hyson replayed in her mind and her eyes widened. She dodged his gaze and said, "Umm... I'm not lost. Haha. I'm just... Just thinking about something. Yes! I'm thinking about something."

Zhai Yanjun found it very strange that she actually avoided looking into his eyes and was now actually rambling. Yes, he could tell it was rambling.

"Did you see Raelle? Was Yue Fai with her? I want to see him before leaving. I heard he is leaving tomorrow."

Xiang Wai looked away from him saying, "Well, I didn't see them." It was her luck that she was speaking the truth right now. She really didn't see them because she only heard their voices. If she had seen them, she wouldn't dare to lie because it'd be easier to catch her. Now, he can't find a flaw right?

However, she didn't realize that she was already giving the guilty party vibes. Zhai Yanjun could clearly see something was wrong but he didn't try to probe into it since she was trying so hard to seem normal.

"Okay, I'll just look for them myself," he said and tried to walk past her.

But Xiang Wai held his arm to stop him. She was afraid that if he walked over there, he might also hear something he isn't supposed to. What would she do then? It was better to stop him here.

"They are not there," said Xiang Wai.

"Who is not there?"

Xiang Wai's luck was really not with her tonight since she had just lied and there came Hyson's voice from behind her. Zhai Yanjun looked at Hyson and then at Xiang Wai who was still holding his arm. She was trying to leave, but why? Zhai Yanjun couldn't understand so he stopped bothering with this thought.

"It's good that you're here, I was looking for you," told Zhai Yanjun.

"Me? Why? What for? What do I have to do with you? Don't always try to get chummy."

Zhai Yanjun ignored all his nonsense and hooked his neck saying, "I heard you're leaving. I thought I should say goodbye."

Hyson was trying to push his arm away from his neck but Zhai Yanjun just refused to budge.

"You must be very happy to know I'm not gonna be around," said Hyson.

Zhai Yanjun smiled brightly, "What are you saying? It's nothing like that. I'm obviously gonna be very lonely without you. But don't worry about me. I'll just come to find Ayi to get some comfort."

Hyson gritted his teeth and growled in a low voice. Rather than looking scary, he looked so adorable instead that Zhai Yanjun pinched his cheek. Hyson swatted his hand away in exasperation. The last time he wasn't around, this Captain took advantage of his absence to get close to his mother and he was planning on doing that again.

What an evil schemer!

Zhai Yanjun was very amused by Hyson's expressions right now. He looked like a hedgehog ready to throw his thorns and injure him.

Hyson took a deep breath and calmed himself. He couldn't do anything about it. So, he chose a different approach, "When I'm not around, you better take care of my mum. If your family came to annoy my mum, it won't end well. I'm telling you, I'll beat you if my mum is hurt while I'm away."

Zhai Yanjun chuckled, "I will try my best to protect her."

"I highly doubt you can protect her," commented Hyson. "She needs protection from your family!"

Zhai Yanjun couldn't argue with that sine it was true so he chose to stay silent. f𝔯𝒆𝚎𝚠𝑒𝚋𝓃૦νℯƖ.co𝘮

"Also, don't be so dumb. Grow a little brain. Learn to cherish the people you love. You can get them back once but it won't happen again. So, cherish them while you have the chance. And don't whine when they are gone."

Zhai Yanjun's smile turned a bit gentle when he realized what Hyson was talking about. He held Xiang Wai's hand and pulled it to his mouth. Pressing his lips against the back of her hand, he told Hyson, "Don't worry. I'll cherish her well."

"It'd be good if you can," said Hyson. "It won't be as simple as making her cry this time around. Because a lot of people will be after your life if she cried because of you."

"I know," said Zhai Yanjun. He rubbed Hyson's head, "Thank you for caring about me so much!"

Hyson threw his hand off, "Who is worried or cares about you? Don't take yourself so seriously. I'm doing it for her."

Seeing Hyson pointing at herself, Xiang Wai raised her brow, "Me?"

"Of course!"

"I don't think we are on that good terms," remarked Xiang Wai.

"Still, you're part of the family," said Hyson. "We don't abandon family. No matter how dumb or annoying they are."

"Did you just call me dumb and annoying?" asked Xiang Wai.

"I did," replied Hyson. "What can you do about it?"

Xiang Wai looked like she was ready to bite him. She had been silently watching the interaction between these two brothers where one was completely oblivious to the fact that the other was his own half-brother! But her silence and thoughts were interrupted by Hyson who just had to drag her in this conversation and roast her again! This guy really had nothing better to do in life!
