Master's Untamed Wife

"I say, let's build a greenhouse!"

'No! You only want to keep this camelia plant for some weird reason. Why build such a big greenhouse?'

"What do you mean by that? This flower pot is quite special to me!"

'But it still doesn't need a whole greenhouse!'

"I just want to provide it with the best atmosphere to grow!"

'What is it? A kid?'

"Yue, you can't prejudice like this," retorted Mu Chenyan. "Plants are also like babies. They also have feelings!"

'And you're so kind-hearted? Since when?'

"I have always been kind-hearted!"

Yue rolled her eyes at Mu Chenyan unceremonially, 'Please, don't continue! I might puke!'

Grandfather Xiang had been listening to these two arguing back and forth for over half an hour now. They both were being stubborn. And the fight was over just one flower pot? What the hell was wrong with these women? They both had reached their forties but acted worse than Raelle and Hyson.

"Daughters!" Grandfather Xiang shouted in his intimidating voice. "Why are you both so difficult? I didn't even worry this much about Hyson and Raelle."

Both Mu Chenyan and Yue stopped arguing and lowered their heads before Grandfather Xiang acted like well-behaved kids. But he knew that they both were pretending. Neither of them was feeling embarrassed or guilty!

Grandfather Xiang rubbed his forehead as he said, "I really wonder how did you two manage to raise Hyson and Raelle. It's really a mystery to me." He sighed out, "What's the situation?"

"I found a dying camelia plant, I want to raise it," said Mu Chenyan. "I thought building a greenhouse is good. But Yue thinks I'm overreacting."

'You're overreacting,' was Yue's response.

"Well, you are really overreacting," added Grandfather Xiang. "You can just keep the plant in your bedroom. Wouldn't that make it easier to take care of it?"

"But Yue isn't letting me raise it!" argued Mu Chenyan.

Grandfather Xiang looked at Yue, "Yue, you're always a lot sweeter than this bitter melon gourd. Why are you arguing with her?"

Yue looked up at him and pouted, 'She will kill the plant! She doesn't have an ounce of gentleness in her hands. Once I left her take care of this plant, it'll die even before the sunrise!'

Grandfather Xiang pressed his lips together. He actually had to agree with that. There was no such thing as gentleness about Mu Chenyan. Her only gentleness was already exhausted on Hyson and Raelle. She even cooked in an aggressive manner. It'd really be a wonder if this plant really survived in her hands.

"Then you take care of it for her," suggested Grandfather Xiang.

"No!" retorted Mu Chenyan. "It's mine! I will take care of it. I promise I'll do my best this time."

Grandfather Xiang thought about it for a minute and said, "Then do it." He looked at Yue and said, "Let her be. Since she really wants to take care of it, let her do it."

Yue looked at the camelia plant with sympathy in her eyes. She could already see its impending doom. Tsk!

Mu Chenyan looked at Yue smugly and even childishly stuck her tongue out. Yue only shook her head in response and even rolled her eyes. 'Let's see how long you can keep it alive.'

"You just watch!" said Mu Chenyan with conviction. She wasn't willing to back down. What was so difficult about raising a plant? She had raised the most difficult person in the world! This plant was really nothing difficult before Raelle.

'I'll be watching closely with both my eyes open!'

"Are you both not finished yet?" questioned Grandfather Xiang as he stared at them again. What was up with them? How could they argue so pettily? Was it okay for them to act like this? "What kind of best friends are so petty? Have you seen Raelle or Hyson being petty?"

"Elder Xiang, you can't compare us to them," said Mu Chenyan.

He stared deeply at Mu Chenyan and asked, "Exactly why are you finding reasons to argue with Yue? Did something happen that I don't know about?"

Mu Chenyan bit her bottom lip as she looked at Yue Yue. Well, she seemed to be glaring at Yue Yue. Grandfather Xiang found it a bit odd.

"What did she do?"

Mu Chenyan rubbed her nose as she told him, "She said she wants to go back home."

Grandfather Xiang looked at Yue, "Isn't this home?"

"Exactly!" argued Mu Chenyan. "That's what I said! If we are a family, does it matter where the home is as long as we are together? But she is stubborn as always? It's annoying!"

'I eventually have to leave,' responded Yue.

Grandfather Xiang looked at her, "And why is that?"

Yue couldn't keep her spirit under his gaze. She had always been scared of Grandfather Xiang. It wasn't because he was scary but he just gave off a certain feeling of authority. It was undeniable that he had been a father figure in her life for over a decade now. She really admired him and revered him. Even her fear was just like how kids are often scared of their fathers.

'I only came to live here because of Fai's accident,' even she wasn't certain of her own reasons at this point.

"Fai calls me Opa just like Raelle does," said Grandfather Xiang. "For me, he is no different than Raelle. Why are you trying to separate the family here?" He took a brief pause, "We are a family, right?"

Yue nodded her head without any hesitation. She honestly believed them to be her only family in all these years. They had always been silently supporting her for years. How could she not see their sincerity and love?

"Then?" started Grandfather Xiang. "Stop overthinking about this and just stay where you are. Can't you see our family's Chenyan is about to start crying if you insisted on leaving?"

While Yue looked at Mu Chenyan, the latter haughtily retorted, "It isn't that easy to make me cry."

Yue smiled silently when she heard that. But she wasn't blind. She could tell that Mu Chenyan's temper was so disturbed because of her.. No wonder she had been looking for things to argue for no reason.
