Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 768 Way Back Home

　　Xiang Manor was filled with bickering, laughter, and a warm atmosphere while at Zhai house, things were intense. The atmosphere was stifling and very uncomfortable when Zhai Yanjun came back home.

　　Seeing his father's flushed face, he helped him to sit down and offered him water. Turning to his maternal grandparents, he was also worried after seeing Old Master Yue's condition. He didn't look well. It seemed his father's revelation had a big impact on the old man. 

　　"Grandma, why don't you take Grandfather Yue and Grandmother Yue to their bedroom to rest?" suggested Zhai Yanjun to Grandma Zhai who hurriedly agreed. Then he looked at his grandpa and added, "Grandpa, call the doctor."

　　Grandpa Zhai looked at his own son who was still seething and sighed heavily. But he always listened to his grandson whom he loved even more than his own son. So, in this situation, he still followed Zhai Yanjun's words and went to call the doctor.

　　"Dad, let me take you to your bedroom," said Zhai Yanjun and took his father to his room first. "Lie down," he instructed once he put him on the bed.

　　"I'm fine," said Zhai Kuijun. "I'm not tired or sick. I don't need to lie down."

　　"I don't believe you," said Zhai Yanjun straightforwardly. "It's better for you to lie down. Don't make me push you down now. It'd look like I'm abusing my old father now."

　　Zhai Kuijun's lips curled up ever so slightly as his son's joke but he still listened to him and lied down. As Zhai Yanjun was covering him with a blanket, Zhai Kuijun held his wrist and said, "Sorry!"

　　"Dad, what are you saying now?"

　　"I lost control of my emotions and created a scene. You don't get to come home that often already. I called you myself and let you see all of that. Maybe I should have held it in."

　　Zhai Yanjun shook his head at his father, "Dad, I just recently realized, you have held in a lot of things." Zhai Kuijun looked at his son in confusion. "I feel like I never even knew the real you."

　　"There is nothing like that," said Zhai Kuijun as he tried to get up but Zhai Yanjun pushed him back down.

　　"Let the doctor come and check up on you first."

　　"Huh? It's your grandfather who needs a doctor, not me."

　　"Do you think Fai didn't tell me about his meeting with him? Not only that, but he also told me in what condition he found you," told Zhai Yanjun. "I'm already very worried about you. So, stop doing this to me. You can't hide things about your health."

　　Zhai Kuijun suddenly felt a little more guilty. He was already feeling like he shouldn't have lost control of himself when he knew his son was coming home. He never wanted to get his son involved in these issues. And now, he was even more guilty because he had been hiding about his health matters. 

　　But the mentioning of Hyson reminded him of something, "Jun, is something going on in the Xiang family?"

　　Zhai Yanjun looked at his father, "Why are you asking?"

　　"Things are very tense in the past two days," said Zhai Kuijun. "Even though it's the weekend, there is a lot of movement from both the Xiang family's side and the Shui family's side. And let's not even talk about the sudden downfall of the Ruan family. All of this is making me really suspicious."

　　"Your friend didn't tell you anything?" asked Zhai Yanjun as he looked at his father in surprise. It seemed as long as it didn't involve his family, his father was very clear-headed.

　　"Your mean Hulin?" asked Zhai Kuijun and saw his son nodding in response. "No. I only greeted him at the Chen family's banquet. Oh, I heard the Chen family is also restless after the banquet. I think something happened at that banquet. What do you know?"

　　"Something did happen," said Zhai Yanjun. "Saozi had a miscarriage because of Ruan Meilin."

　　"What?!" Zhai Kuijun was shocked. "What happened? How is she?" He couldn't believe it at all. He met Raelle at the banquet and they even had a conversation where she removed him from her unwanted people's list. How did that lovely girl have such a thing happen to her? He suddenly came over with grief. 

　　"She is doing fine now," told Zhai Yanjun. "Don't worry about her. She is stronger than you think."

　　"What about Shui Xian?"

　　"He..." Zhai Yanjun sighed. "He is the one who is worrying me. Although he looks fine, I am not able to relax from his side. I'm afraid this has hit him worse than anyone else."

　　"Poor Xian," lamented Zhai Kuijun. "I should go to see them."

　　"Stay right where you are," said Zhai Yanjun in a stern voice. "This isn't the time for you to run around. I told you to stay here and wait for the doctor. We will discuss the rest once the doctor says you're fine."

　　"I know myself better."

　　Zhai Yanjun clearly wasn't having any of that. 

　　"Tsk. I can't believe Hulin didn't tell me any of this."

　　"General must be too excited so he forgot all about you," chuckled Zhai Yanjun.

　　"Huh? Why'd he be excited over this?"

　　"Because it's a blessing in disguise for him," said Zhai Yanjun. "Granduncle Xiang asked him to come home. Don't you think he'd be excited?"

　　"Oh..." responded Zhai Kuijun. No wonder he heard nothing from his best friend. How would he? His best friend finally got the ticket home. How would he even remember anyone else at this time? He actually felt happy for his friend who had been yearning to go home for years. Although he looked fine, Zhai Kuijun knew that Xiang Hulin was feeling like a kite with a broken string all along. He had been wandering for too long all on his own. And he finally found his way back home.

　　Seeing that his father was looking better than before, Zhai Yanjun hesitated before asking, "Dad... Can I ask you something?"

　　"Hm? What is it about?" 

　　"It's about my Ayi. Aunt Yue Yue."
