Master's Untamed Wife

Xiang Wai was actually feeling just as nervous as her brother when she rang the doorbell. She didn't even know why she was feeling so jittery. She clearly knew her brother was inside. If nothing else, he had always been her biggest support. How could she feel so nervous? But she was!

And when the door opened, she was stunned to see the person before her. And Zhai Yanjun was no less surprised to see that it was Xiang Wai at the door. That was unexpected. He looked at her intently from the top of her head to the tip of her toes. She looked quite beautiful and his lips curled up in a smile.

It wasn't every day you'd see Xiang Wai dressed up like this.

Xiang Wai on the other hand narrowed her eyes at him. He was wearing that cute apron that made him look... Well, not handsome for sure. It gave off a cutesy vibe and let's just say, the cute word didn't go well with Zhai Yanjun's looks. Not at all. He kind of looked funny but she wasn't gonna laugh right now since she had way too many questions in her mind right now regarding why he was even here?

"Are you stalking me now?" Well, she didn't actually have such a high opinion of herself to believe that he was really here for her. But that question just came out before she could stop herself.

Zhai Yanjun gave her an amused look, "Am I? But I clearly came here first. That means you're stalking me instead."

"Ha! Such wishful thinking, Captain?"

"Major, if you're the stalker, I won't mind."

Xiang Wai was taken aback by his comment. Why did it sound so suggestive? And what's up with him? Why was he acting so weird? Or maybe she was overthinking?

"Aren't you gonna come in, Major?" asked Zhai Yanjun.

"I am!" retorted Xiang Wai and stepped inside while purposely bumping into his shoulder. "Oops, sorry! I didn't see you there."

"It's okay," said Zhai Yanjun while closing the door. "I guess you must be tired of looking at ONLY me after all these years." Xiang Wai stopped in her track and felt strange. While it was true that in the past decade, she hardly saw anyone else other than him, what exactly did he mean by that? He walked past her saying, "I don't mind being invisible for the meantime."

At this time, Zhai Yanjun didn't even think it'd be wrong for Xiang Wai to even treat him like air.

"Yo! Your brain is damaged or what?" asked Xiang Wai curiously.

"It's not my brain," he told her. "It's my heart, that's damaged."

Xiang Wai's veins twitched at his answer. "I feel like punching you right now."

"There is no need to get physical," he remarked.

"Hey! Scared?"

Zhai Yanjun looked straight at her and nodded, "Yes, I am scared. After all, Major, I'm just a Captain. How can I go against you? It'd be a losing fight."

"Your lack of ambition is disdainful!" said Xiang Wai with displeasure.

"I have always been just that unambitious in life," he said to her. "But it's you, Major who couldn't see it because you had that blindfold of love on your eyes. Now, that you took it off, you can see me for who I am. And as you can see, I wasn't all that great of a person. Definitely not the one who deserved your love."

Xiang Wai's breath went stagnant as she looked straight into his eyes. She could tell something was wrong here but she couldn't put her finger on it. Why was he talking like this? And why was it making her heart so uneasy? Didn't she decide to just leave him in her past?

But how was she supposed to do that when he just popped before her eyes like this?

"You should see a doctor," suggested Xiang Wai.

"Oh, will you accompany me?"

"Why should I?" she shot back. "Who are you to me?"

"Well, technically Major, I'm your junior and you're my superior. As my superior, you should show some concern for my health."

Xiang Wai gave him a dry laugh, "You're not even funny, Captain."

"See! Now, you're really seeing me for who I am," said Zhai Yanjun.

Xiang Wai suddenly held his collar and pushed him against the wall, "Captain, what are you up to? What's with this strange talk? Why am I unable to understand it? What are you even trying to do?"

"I see your nervousness is all gone now," said Zhai Yanjun with a smile. Not even minding their position right now where he was clearly at a disadvantage. "You shouldn't be nervous to begin with. Your grandfather is amazing. He only looks fierce but he is a softie inside."

Xiang Wai's grasp on his collar loosened when he said that. Yes, she was nervous but how did he know that?

As if reading her mind, he added, "Major, you're making me feel like an utter failure now. Yes, I'm a failure but that doesn't mean I'm blind enough to not know when you're nervous." He held up her hand showed her the thumb saying, "You always scratch your thumb until it's bleeding when you're extremely nervous. And it's funny how not many things can make your nervous in life."

Xiang Wai looked at her thumb and true enough, it was close to bleeding now. Great! She didn't realize her nervousness level was so high.

"Just be yourself," said Zhai Yanjun. "He'll like you."

Xiang Wai scoffed at that, "How can you say that?"

"Because I certainly liked the real you," he replied and started walked away.

"Yo, errand boy! I told you open the door! Did you come out to laze around? Is that how you're gonna learn? What is this attitude? And where is the sincerity?" Mu Chenyan came out of the kitchen with a rolling pin in her hand while Yue was holding her arm trying to hold her back but to no avail.
