Master's Untamed Wife

Xiang Wai's attention was on her phone as she walked towards her car. Suddenly, someone held her arm and pulled her back. She looked up to see a cyclist that passes speedily from right where she stood a moment ago.

Her back was against someone's chest and she tilted her to face the person who pulled her back.

"Watch where you're going," she heard a voice from above her. Saying that the man let her go and stepped away.

She actually didn't need his help. Even if that cyclist didn't make a sound as he came towards her, she'd have been able to save herself purely on instinct. However, since someone did step up to help, she had to say, "Thanks."

"It's okay," replied the man good-naturedly.

His voice sounded pleasant to listen to but she couldn't see his face at all. After all, he was wearing a black mask, a black baseball cap, and even black sunglasses. In all honesty, he looked very suspicious like this.

"Why are you scrutinizing me?" he asked when he noticed the way she had been looking at him.

"You look suspicious," she spoke out her mind honestly.

"I look suspicious?" he repeated as he pointed at himself. "A good guy like me is looking suspicious?"

"Yes," she replied. "The way you're dressed, you look like you're up to no good. Or maybe you're trying to avoid CCTV cameras to hide your identity."

Hyson gaped at her in disbelief and pointed at the military vehicle behind her, "That's yours?"

Xiang Wai looked at her car and nodded, "Yeah, why?"

Hyson snorted, "No wonder why you're mind is going off track. Not everyone who dresses like this is a criminal!" He really couldn't understand these military people around him. Why did their brain always go in the wrong direction?

"Oh?" Xiang Wai rubbed her nose. "Then, sorry!"

Hyson shook his head, "Forget it. But I suggest you stop being so wary of everything and everyone. It makes your life seem very tiring." Saying that he turned and walked inside the Sunset Garden.

Behind him, Xiang Wai looked at his receding back and sighed, "I guess my life is unnecessarily tiring." Shaking her head, she got in her car and drove away.

Hyson stepped inside the café and looked around. Seeing Xiang Weimin, he walked over and sat down opposite him, "Hi, Lieutenant!"

Xiang Weimin moved his attention away from his surroundings and faced Hyson. Since all the tables in the café had been surrounded by potted ornamental plants, it provided some privacy for everyone. And because of that, Hyson finally managed to take off his mask and breathe freely.

"If I didn't manage to take it off for another minute, I'd have stopped breathing already," commented Hyson as he picked up a glass of water to drink.

"Shouldn't you be used to it by now?" questioned Xiang Weimin.

Hyson lifted his eyes and looked at him, "Who said if you had been doing something for years, you'd be used to it?" He leaned back in his chair and told him, "No matter how much time passes by, I don't think I'll ever be comfortable with masks."

"Would you like to order now, Mister?"

Hyson pulled the tip of his cap down a little when the waitress came to their table. Fortunately, the waitress's eyes were stuck on Xiang Weimin's face and that's why she didn't even pay attention to Hyson at all.

"I'll have a black coffee," said Xiang Weimin in a polite tone but his expressions were quite blank. "And..."

As he looked at Hyson, the other answered, "I'll take a Latté."

"Is that all?" questioned the waitress.

"Yes," replied Xiang Weimin. Then he faced Hyson who straightened up once the waitress was gone but seeing how Hyson looked at him made him a bit uncomfortable. "What?"

"Are you single, Lieutenant?" asked Hyson catching Xiang Weimin off guard.

"Why are you asking that?"

"Just curious."

"I am," replied Xiang Weimin.

"You've never dated in your life, have you?" pointed out Hyson.

"And how did you come to that conclusion?"

"That waitress seemed pretty interested in you," said Hyson. "But you didn't even notice."

Xiang Weimin couldn't understand why he was being questioned about his dating today. First, it was his sister and now here he was. How was he supposed to deal with this?

"Is it wrong to have no interest in dating?"

Hyson tsked, "Nope. I just felt a bit of pity for that girl earlier. Nothing else."

"Oh, it seems you feel pity for everyone," commented Xiang Weimin. "Just like you pity me."

Hyson's eyes lost the playful charm as he looked seriously at him and said, "I don't pity you."

"Yes, you do," insisted Xiang Weimin. "That's why you decided to be nice to me."

Hyson shook his head, "Not really. You might not believe it but I'm genuinely that nice kind of a guy. I know I don't look like it but I am. You can ask anyone. Especially, you can ask my best friend. She can guarantee you that I am a nice person."

"So, you're that nice to everyone?" questioned Xiang Weimin.

"Yes," answered Hyson. "I agree that my interest in you deepened when I realized that you're Ellie's elder brother. However, that couldn't possibly be the reason for me to be nice to you. She never asked me to. And however I treat you, won't really concern her either." He placed his hands on the table as he went on, "Moreover, she and I don't have a habit of interfering in each other's personal life or decisions. Even if you're her enemy, how I treat you will depend on what impression I have of you. It'll never depend on what kind of a relationship you have with her."

Xiang Weimin was left staring at Hyson in silence when he heard that. He didn't know how to continue this conversation.. He really thought that Hyson pitied him and to be honest, he even thought he deserved that pity.
