Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 868: Proposal?

Xiang Wai called the chauffeur who Mu Chenyan left with her and asked him to
get a couple of things like a new shirt for him. She obviously couldn't let him
roam around in that dirty shirt or even shirtless for that matter.

When Zhai Yanjun walked out of the bathroom, shirtless, she had already
gotten the things. Surprisingly, the chauffeur was really fast. Or maybe anyone

working for Mu Chenyan was naturally good at their job.

"sit!" she told him and he obediently sat down on the edge of the bed in this
small resting room. She strutted over to his side and leaned to observe the area

of the burn. "Maybe we should see a doctor?" she suggested.
"There is no need to," he answered as he took the shirt from her hand.

"Don't be so careless," she reproached. "It really isn't a mild burn that you can
lightly. It definitely looks serious." She touched his forehead to check his
temperature. "Your temperature is rising. Fever is not a good sign. We really

have to see a doctor."

Zhai Yanjun held her wrist and tugged making her sit right beside him as he

said, "Don't fuss. It isn't because of the burn. I already had a mild fever."
Her eyes widened, "If you had a fever, what are you even doing here?"

He was quiet for a moment. Then he silently put on the new shirt before
sighing to himself. Xiang Wai was startled when he got on one knee before him
and looked into her eyes squarely. Her breath hitched for some reason when
she was confronted by the raw emotions in his eyes.

"Captain Zhai," she started as she tried to control her breathing. "This is a very
wrong time for a proposal. And if you ruined my fantasy of the proposal, I'll kill

you."

Zhai Yanjun was taken aback by her words before he burst out laughing. Only
this fool would think that he was in the mood for a proposal.

"I'm not proposing to you," he said helplessly. "I don't even have a ring with
me. Besides, even if I did, will you say yes?”

Xiang Wai pursed her lips and contemplated in silence before asking, "You
think I won't?"

Zhai Yanjun continued to observe her expressions as he shook his head, "I

think you shouldn't. At this moment, I don't deserve a yes from you. Not at all."

"You really think you don't deserve me?" she asked seriously. "When did you

lose confidence in yourself?"

"I never had confidence in myself," he told her. "But it's true that I need to
change and become a little better to deserve someone like you."

"Whether you deserve me or not, it isn't something for you to decide," she
grumbled. "I have a say in that as well."

Zhai Yanjun smiled at her reaction, "Wai..."
"Hm?"

"Can you give me another chance?" he asked sincerely. "I know I'm being very
selfish but I can't help it. You're very important to me. I was ready to let you go
when Xian knocked some sense into my head and made me realize that I was
hurting you just as much as I was hurting myself. So, I couldn't blame you for
anything. I had to take equal blame for everything. And when I realized how 1
hurt you, I truly wanted to distance myself from you and allow you to spread
your wings and fly. But I wasn't able to do it." He held her hand she had placed
on her lap as he went on, "I don't know how to love in the right way but I'm
willing to learn. I don't know how to share my thoughts but I'm willing to give
it a try. I don't know how to cook but I've been learning lately. Although the
only passable dish I can make is scrambled eggs with tomato, for now, I believe
I'll get somewhere with time. I don't have much to offer but I'm willing to offer
myself to you. All of myself."

Xiang Wai's nose was turning red as she listened to him. "If you put it like that,

it seems like you know nothing."

"Yes, I'm pretty useless. And this useless me was always conceited because he

got someone like you to love him wholeheartedly."

"Tsk. If you're that useless, do you think I'd love you?" she retorted. "But when
did you start learning to cook?"

"It's been a while," he replied.
"And why are you learning how to cook?"

"Because it's always been you who waited for me with a table full of dishes, I

want to do the same," he replied.

"You won't be able to though," she told him seriously. "I'm a Major. My job now
mostly involved overlooking my team and presiding over the details of the
mission. But you're a Captain, you still have to go to fieldwork. Besides, when
my missions end, I can always get some time off to myself. Your daily training

ends late at night. How are you gonna wait for me?"

"I might be getting a promotion after the national day," he told her making her

eyes sparkle.

"Really? Really? Who told you? Did your commander give you some inside
information?"

"Even I wasn't that happy when I learned it. Why are you so happy? Shouldn't
you be thinking about how to reverse the damage your impulsiveness has

done? You had a high chance of getting your rank..."

"Shhh!" she interrupted him rudely. "Stop talking about that! So what if I'm not
getting any credit for my work? I got to meet my sister and my grandfather and
my aunt. Don't you think that's much better than getting my elevating my
rank?"

"When did you become so optimistic?" he asked curiously.

"I learned it from that brother of yours. I mean your cousin. Although he is a
little bit annoying, he does speak facts." She looked like she wasn't very pleased

mentioning Hyson but he could tell what she was feeling..Wanna gift the story? Try one.
