Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 1250  Came To Mind

"Then why did you give her the candy?" asked Xiang Wai getting back on the main point again.

"Because my sister said when someone looks sad, you should offer them candy to make them happy. Sweetness solves everything," told Xiang Hulin.

Mu Chenyan scratched her ear and to salvage her image, she chimed in, "Those are the words taught to me by my godmother. I just am a firm believer of that."

Xiang Hulin laughed when he heard that and went on, "Anyway, the first time we met, she looked very sad and very lonely. So, in a moment of compassion, I offered a candy. I didn't think she would save the wrapper for so long. She didn't just keep the wrapper, she even wrote down what she felt at that time receiving that candy from me. After that, since we both had no time for calls and neither of us could write letters, we shared notes."

"Huh?"

"Yeah. We used to share notes. Sneaking around to communicate. She saved all those and put them in her journal along with her personal thoughts. Anyway, as your aunt said, that journal was a lot more romantic than you think." Xiang Hulin smiled to himself, "On the very end, there was even the same candy that I first gave her and the words under them were, 'Will you marry me?' I couldn't say no."

Xiang Wai didn't know if that journal was romantic or not, but it was seriously memorable. It recorded the journey of their feelings together. How could it not be memorable? It must have meant a lot to both of them. She didn't know what were the notes they shared or what was written in that journal but by just seeing Xiang Hulin's expressions she could tell it was something he still hadn't forgotten.

For the first time, she understood why her brother always said that their parents shared a beautiful love but it was still complicated for them to hold on to that relationship.

"Then did it bring you to tears?" asked Xiang Wai jokingly.

"Why do you look so excited about seeing your father's joke?" asked Xiang Hulin.

"Just tell me."

"How can Ge cry in front of people? Wouldn't that challenge his masculinity? A man can shed blood but not tears," said Mu Chenyan.

"You have nothing good to say?" asked Xiang Hulin. "I thought you were on my side."

"Aren't I explaining it for you, Ge?" she responded. "Anyway, don't worry, Wai. Your father didn't shed tears there."

"How can you hold back?"

"He had to. To keep his image."

Xiang Hulin stood up to leave, "I don't wanna talk to you guys anymore. I'm leaving. I have somewhere to be."

"Ge, don't cry in your car."

"Chenchen!"

Mu Chenyan stuck out her tongue at him teasingly.

"No way! Dad cried in his car back then?" asked Xiang Wai when Xiang Hulin left. Anyway, she could find out these secrets from her aunt who knew everything.

"Yeah."

"How do you know, Chenyan?" asked Grandpa Xiang.

"I was hiding in the back seat of his car. He didn't know. So, I ended up hearing him shed some tears. I definitely can't forget that time."

"It seems Mom is still trustworthy. I can put my faith in her for this proposal," decided Xiang Wai.

'Are you proposing to Yanjun?' asked Yue Yue in excitement.

Xiang Wai covered her mouth and stared at Yue Yue, "Aunt Yue, you can't tell him that. It's a secret between us. You can't let him know at all."

Seeing Xiang Wai following Yue Yue around as she kept telling her to promise not to tell Zhai Yanjun, Mu Chenyan looked a bit dazed for a moment.

"Why? You wanna propose too?" asked Grandpa Xiang which snapped Mu Chenyan out of her daydream.

She shook her head, "No way."

"Then what are you thinking about? If I have to guess, the person that came to your mind just now was definitely Zhao. Right?"

"Right," Mu Chenyan calmly agreed instead of hiding it from him. "I was just wondering that, this proposal trend should not get to Zhao. What would I do if he proposed following everyone?"

Grandpa Xiang smiled at her, "You, Chenyan, are just worried that in the spur of the moment, you might end up agreeing. After all, he knows what to do to get the right reaction out of you. He knows how to touch your heart. I can even say, he is the person who can truly control you emotionally. So, you're scared." He took a pause and said, "But I'll say this again, it's not scary at all. Stop scaring yourself."

Mu Chenyan pursed her lips and said, "I won't argue with you on this. I can't argue or refute anyway. It is true that I become something else around him."

"No, you don't become someone else. You just become the real you. The you who isn't always trying to be strong or who is ready to fight a battle all the time. With him, you let yourself take the backstage because you're certain that he'd be holding the ground for you."

"Well, all that is true too. That's why I think it's easier for me to lose myself if he asks me to marry him. It's not a bad thing per se. It's just, that I never thought about marriage before. And not one with Xia Zhao for sure. And now, after just recently confirming my relationship with him, I feel like there isn't anything wrong with marrying him. This idea is scary. It's reminding me that I changed too fast. It's also reminding me that I swept into the whirlpool of his intense feelings with no way out."

"Do you also feel like you lost?" asked Grandpa Xiang. This was a very serious question when it came to Mu Chenyan.

She thought about it before saying, "No. I'm still the winner. Because he might be able to control my emotions but his control is also in my hand. He can't do anything if I don't allow it."

"Oh, our Chenyan is growing up well! I'm proud of you!"

Mu Chenyan looked a little embarrassed at being told this at this age. But she happily took the compliment.
