Master's Untamed Wife

While Shui Koshing was directing the gardener to be careful with each and every flower plant, he suddenly looked around and thought of something. He immediately called Raelle.

Raelle was still on her way to the office when she received Shui Koshing's call. She accepted the call and asked, "Is everything okay, Bà? Why are you calling me at this time?"

"Everything is okay," answered Shui Koshing. "I just had a brilliant idea and I wanted to hear your opinion."

Raelle seemed extremely accommodating to him as she asked, "Please, do tell."

"How about I get some sugar plum trees?" suggested Shui Koshing excitedly. "We can plant them in the back garden. Those trees look amazing when the flowers bloom in the early winter."

"Sounds good to me," she readily accepted his suggestion.

"Also, we can add some cherry and peach trees," added Shui Koshing. "It'll add a whole lot of feeling to our garden."

"Sure," replied Raelle patiently.

Shui Koshing went on and on about his ideas but when she agreed with everything, he couldn't help but say, "Daughter-in-law, why do I feel like you're spoiling me? Are you treating me like a kid?"

"How can I treat you like a kid?" retorted Raelle. "But you're right. I am trying to do my part in spoiling you a little. Who said only fathers can spoil their daughters? I believe it can go the other way around as well."

Shui Koshing felt like his heart was about to melt from hearing that. He had been an only child of his parents. And he couldn't really say that he was spoiled by his parents. They had high expectations from him and that's why he had lived a very strict and disciplined life. This was also the reason he mostly didn't get involved with Shui Xian's life because he wanted his son to have the freedom he didn't.

Who knew at this age, someone would try to spoil him in this way? He definitely wasn't complaining though.

He sighed out heavily, "Aiyah! What took you so long to become a part of this family?"

"You shouldn't be asking me that question."

"Right!" agreed Shui Koshing. "I should be questioning that good-for-nothing son of mine who took too long to find you!"

"I wouldn't call him a good-for-nothing," said Raelle. She definitely didn't think her husband was a good-for-nothing. Far from that actually!

"Don't take his side!" said Shui Koshing. "He is a good-for-nothing." Thinking of something, he said goodbye to Raelle and dialed Shui Xian's number instead. And as soon as the call connected, he started, "You are really an unfilial son! It's all your fault that it took me years to get Raelle into my family."

Shui Xian had no idea what he had done to get on his father's nerves but he could only silently listen to all this. But actually seeing how his father sounded so spirited, he didn't mind that he was being verbally thrashed right now at this age. He liked this spirited version of his father a lot better.

....

While Shui Xian was being reprimanded for no reason, Hyson was following his mother around like a lost child. He literally looked like a lost child as he went wherever Yue Yue went. And without saying anything, he'd just silently stare at her. It was kind of getting creepy for even Yue to handle.

She poked his forehead and glared at him, 'Stop staring and do something productive!'

"I'm being very productive right now," replied Hyson with a grin and continued to stare at her. Yue Yue couldn't possibly understand the complex mood Hyson had but she was really not comfortable with her son acting like her tail.

No matter how she tried to shoo him away, he would just not leave. And especially his eyes. Those eyes seemed like they were glued to her figure.

"Stop making her uncomfortable," said Mu Chenyan. "She is about to lose her temper."

"She has a temper?" questioned Hyson with wide eyes.

Mu Chenyan pinched his nose, "She might not but I do. Stop disturbing my best friend."

"You're gonna stand on her side?" Hyson clutched his chest dramatically. "I'm hurt!"

"Sometimes I do need to pretend to stand on her side against you," whispered Mu Chenyan and gave him a wink.

Hyson ended up laughing out at her reaction.

Yue Yue who had been observing them, walked over, 'Maybe you should learn some acting from Chenyan. She's very good at it. Her pointers might help you with the movie you're about to shoot.'

Hyson looked over at Mu Chenyan who rubbed her nose sheepishly, "I'm not all that great."

Yue Yue gave her a stinky eye before she silently humphed and walked away from them.

"This is the limit of her temper," sighed Hyson. "No wonder people treated her like a soft persimmon."

Mu Chenyan rubbed his fluffy hair, "My dear Fai, now people should be scared of her. She is no soft persimmon they can pinch. Now she has me. And I am not that easy to squish." She patted his shoulder and went on, "Now, stop staring at her. It really is bothering her."

Hyson sighed out in resignation, "Fine."

"Hey, Little Fai! I didn't think you'd be home at this time."

Hyson looked over at the owner of that voice and smiled, "Uncle Shing! What are you doing here?"

"I came to freeload a lunch," answered Shui Koshing proudly.

"Why do you look so flushed?" questioned Hyson. "Is the sun that hot already?"

Shui Koshing waved his hand saying, "Don't even ask. My temper just went up a little. But I'm fine."

"Let me get you some juice to cool down," said Mu Chenyan. "And it's good that you're here. Elder Xiang has been meaning to call you over."

"I knew my Uncle would be missing me," said Shui Koshing. "That's why I'm already here."

"You're getting cheekier," commented Hyson while Mu Chenyan shook her head and went to the kitchen.

Shui Koshing smiled back and said, "Oh, since you're leaving the day after tomorrow. I heard there is a dinner organized tomorrow night."

"I don't know," answered Hyson honestly since he knew nothing about this arrangement.

"Forget it. I know there is a dinner," said Shui Koshing. "Don't worry, I'll be here as well."

Hyson chuckled at him, "Uncle Shing, you even learned how to invite yourself over?" He took a pause and added, "Since you plan on coming, why don't you just make a way through the wall that both houses share? It'll make it more convenient for you to make a visit whenever you want."

"Since we are on the topic," started Shui Koshing. "I know what I needed to talk to Uncle about."

"Oh, what idea do you have?" came Grandfather Xiang's voice.

"Uncle, I want to tear down the wall," announced Shui Koshing happily.

Hyson gave him applause, "Uncle Shing is definitely bolder than me. Your ideas are definitely on another level." He looked at Grandfather Xiang and went on, "But Opa, I agree with him. It's not good to build walls in relationships."

Grandfather Xiang gave him an amused look before he faced Shui Koshing, "You want to tear down the wall and do what?"

"We can have a wooden fence instead," suggested Shui Koshing. "But in my opinion, I wanted to create a whole dirt path lined with cherry and peach trees. It'll give a sense of privacy but it'll also make it easier for me to come over to freeload in the future."

"All that talk just to freeload easily?"

Shui Koshing cleared his throat, "Uncle, think about it. I'm doing it for Raelle. This way, she can come over every night. Now, she has to take a long walk to come over."

"Stop it," said Grandfather Xiang. "I didn't disagree with your idea in the first place. Just discuss with Yue and Chenyan. They would know better about what would look good or not."

"Got it!"

Hyson found it funny when he saw how excited Shui Koshing looked right now. But he actually agreed with his idea as well. There was no need to not agree. There weren't that many people in both houses. But they were all connected to each other. Especially the bond of Raelle with her Grandfather and Mu Chenyan couldn't be overlooked.

Even Hyson could tell that Shui Koshing was doing it for Raelle. Even though there was only a wall between the two houses, it mattered a whole lot. And since whether it was the Xiang family or the Shui family, their purpose was to provide Raelle with a complete family. There were only Shui Koshing and Shui Xian in the Shui Family which left an emptiness. By removing that wall, he was just trying to fill in that emptiness for her.

"Little Master, your phone's been ringing."

Hyson frowned and took the phone from the maid. He looked at the caller id and his brows quirked up a little. This was interesting.. He smiled to himself before accepting the call.
