Master's Untamed Wife-Chapter 969: Cryptic

Yue Yue was really hopping mad and wanted to seriously do something to this best friend of hers who would say such things without changing her expression.

She pointed at Mu Chenyan and mouthed, 'You're shameless!'

Mu Chenyan laughed even louder, "I know."

The door to their private room opened and they turned their head simultaneously to see Xia Zhao standing at the door. His eyes moved to their current position.

While Mu Chenyan was pressed down, Yue Yue was all over her, it was definitely not a very innocent position. He raised his brow at Mu Chenyan and said, "Your appetite is getting bigger."

Mu Chenyan looked at him in disbelief while Yue Yue hurriedly moved away from her and stood at a side while fixing herself. "Bugger off!"

Xia Zhao's lips curled inconspicuously but he didn't take her words seriously. "Someone is not in a good mood. I guess the credit for that goes to your aunt-in-law."

Mu Chenyan wasn't surprised that he already knew that. Even if he didn't hear anything regarding this, her mood alone was enough to clear everything to him since he knew her inside out. There weren't many things that could affect her mood.

"Don't you know how to knock on the door?" asked Mu Chenyan.

"I did," he replied. "I knocked three times before opening the door."

Mu Chenyan didn't say anything. It seemed they were too loud and didn't notice the door knock at all. But that didn't mean she was willing to accept her mistake.

"So what? If I didn't tell you to come in, you shouldn't enter."

Instead of butting heads with her, he closed the door surprising her before she heard a clear knock. Her eyes closed and her lips pursed. Argh! This hateful man!

"Come in already!"

Xia Zhao opened the door and walked in this time instead of just standing at the door. Only then did Yue Yue notice that even if he opened the door earlier, he didn't step inside.

"Why are you here?"

"I came to inform you that your aunt-in-law is here," he said. "But seeing your face, I realized it was not necessary since you already ran into her."

"Since you're done, you can leave," she said.

"I'm not done though. I didn't come to see you," was his response as he walked towards Yue Yue. "It's good to see you here, Yue. Have you tried the snacks? If anything is not to your liking, let me know. I'll ask them to change it for you."

Yue Yue mouthed, "Thank you, but everything is fine for now. I'll let you know if I need anything."

Mu Chenyan stared at their interaction and said, "When did you get so close to each other? You just met once!"

Xia Zhao answered it for her, "Even if we met only once, we felt an instant connection with each other."

Mu Chenyan snorted, "It took me a decade to break her walls and step inside her life and it took you a moment to become all chummy with her? There you go again making me doubt my own capabilities."

"Well, that was never the intention." 𝗳𝘳𝐞e𝙬𝙚𝚋𝗻𝚘𝚟𝗲l.𝑐𝑜ｍ

"Yes, it never was!" she sounded very sarcastic.

Yue Yue smiled to herself when she saw this and didn't know what to say right now. It was true that she actually got instantly connected with Xia Zhao only after meeting him once but that was because of their common interest named Mu Chenyan. She really found it funny how Mu Chenyan was mad about this.

"What are you mad about?" he asked.

"I'm not mad," said Mu Chenyan as she walked to him and held his wrist. Lifting his hand, she pulled up his sleeve and looked at the wound she gave him the other day. Within such a short time, the wound seemed to be healing very well.

"Didn't I tell you not to touch me so indiscriminately?" He spoke up. "Give me a warning first."

Mu Chenyan looked up into his eyes, "Why? Why should I? I'm just checking your wound. It's not like you're a little virgin boy who is afraid of getting his chastity sullied. You're not that chaste!"

"And whose fault is that?" he asked in return.

Yue Yue gasped silently when she saw their interaction and heard their conversation. She seemed to have heard something unbelievable. No, wait. It wasn't all that unbelievable if she thought about it carefully. Still, it was shocking news!

She tapped on Mu Chenyan's shoulder interrupting their staring competition and mouthed, 'He is one of those three?'

Mu Chenyan's mind suddenly went blank while Xia Zhao pulled out his hand from her grasp and pulled down his sleeve as he answered Yue Yue instead of Mu Chenyan. "Indeed. I'm just one of those three!"

After saying that, he turned to leave. Taking a pause, he looked at Yue Yue and said, "My private room is on the upper floor. I'll invite you to lunch if you have time after this."

Yue Yue nodded her head in a daze and watched him leave.

She turned to look at Mu Chenyan who was unusually silent and tapped her shoulder again to ask, 'Did I say something wrong?'

Mu Chenyan shook her head and gave her a reassuring smile, "You didn't say anything wrong. Don't worry about it."

'Then why is he mad?'

"He isn't," answered Mu Chenyan. "That's not how he looks when he is mad. I told you, don't worry about it. Everything is fine." She pulled her to sit with her, "Come and sit. Let's enjoy this auction. You won't see such a spectacle anywhere else apart from here." ƒ𝓇e𝙚𝔀𝐞𝚋𝓃𝐨𝘷e𝙡.𝒄𝗼m

Yue Yue still felt something was wrong but she couldn't understand it. She already felt that Mu Chenyan and Xia Zhao covered in a cryptic manner which she couldn't decipher most of the time. So, it wasn't surprising that she wasn't to make sense of this situation right now.

Rather than saying that Xia Zhao was mad, she felt it seemed Mu Chenyan's mood had worsened when she brought up that topic. Argh! Forget it! She couldn't waste so much mental power on these two.
