Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 943: [Bonus chapter] Seriously 

Meanwhile, where Mu Chenyan, Shui Xian, and Cui Xukun had been seated, it was complete silence. A stifling, intimidating, filled with gunpowder kind of silence. Or maybe that was just Cui Xukun's illusion right now. Either way, he wasn't feeling very good and didn't think he was in a good situation. Poor him was in a difficult situation and couldn't keep up his expressions in front of Mu Chenyan. How could he when Mu Chenyan just sat there like a queen with his legs crossed, her fingers tapping on the armrest while her eyes peered at him thoughtfully? He felt like his soul was being stripped off with that gaze. In front of her, he sat like a student who was being disciplined by a teacher. He sat straight and tried to keep up his composure but it was getting tougher with each passing second. He didn't know why this silence was so prolonged. 
On the other hand, Shui Man had a smile as he looked at this silent confrontation. 
"I heard you took Cloe to meet your sister," finally Mu Chenyan broke the silence and he breathed a sigh of relief a little too early though. 
"Yes," answered Cui Xukun. "My sister raised me and she is very important to me. Since Cloe is also very important to me, I wanted the two of them to meet and get to know each other." 
Although she didn't show it, Mu Chenyan was quite satisfied with that answer. It showed that he took their Clue seriously. 
"Do you know the circumstances of Cloe's family?" asked Mu Chenyan. "She told me a little," replied Cui Xukun. "But it doesn't matter. Our relationship is ours. I'm willing to stand with her." Mu Chenyan gave him a look before saying, "Let me make it clear. Cloe had been with our family for a decade now and she is like a part of the family now. Whatever her parents do has nothing to do with us. For us, she is very special. So, I hope you're serious about this relationship." "I couldn't be more serious," said Cui Xukun solemnly. "It's good if you're serious," she added. "However, that is not enough. I'm not truing to make things difficult for you but I do hope you understand that hurting her is not an option. Don't think you can do whatever just because she is alone. Because she isn't. She isn't alone at all. By now, you should understand that the Xiang family takes their people very seriously. We are protective people and go to extremes for our people." 
"You can trust me," said Cui 
"Yeah, I don't," she replied plainly. "But it has nothing to do with you. I just am not that interested in your words. Anyone can make promises. After all, it's just saying a few words. Who can get tired of speaking? Or make a few more promises? The matter comes to whether you have what it takes to keep those promises or not. A get familiar with a horse when you ride it on long journies. In the same way, the only way to know a person is to spend a lot of time. Time can tell you everything. So, whether your words are credible or not, only time will tell." She took a pause and added, "For now, your attitude is good. So, I'll let you pass easily. After all, you're just dating her for now." 
"Mistress!" "What is it?" 
"A lady is here asking for you," replied the maidservant. "I'm coming," said Mu Chenyan and stood up. While leaving, she didn't forget to pat Cui Xukun's shoulder once again as she added, "You keep your word. I'm watching you." Cui Xukun gulped once again as he watched her leave and then he pressed on his shoulder that she patted twice since he came here and both times, it was painful. 
Shui Man laughed out loud seeing his situation earning himself a hateful glare from Cui Xukun. 
"Is it fun, Shui Man?" asked Cui Xukun through gritted teeth. Shui Man nodded his head, "It is." He pointed at Cui Xukun's seat saying, "It's not fun there but, it's fun from here." He was gesturing towards his own position. Indeed, as an onlooker, this scene was too entertaining. It wasn't that good when he was a part of it. He tsked, "You got off way too easily though. You should be happy."0 
"Why? Did she beat you?" asked Cui Xukun curiously. "No," replied Shui Man. "But don't try to test her, Yanyan doesn't mind beating as well." 
Cui Xukun instantly shut up when he heard that. Of course, he was not looking to test anyone here. He was very serious about Cloe. And he was actually very happy to see that Cloe wasn't alone. When he learned about Cloe's family situation he felt very bad for her and even told her that he'd share his family with her. 
But she said, she doesn't need that. She already found a home. 0 Only now did he understand what she meant. Someone was willing to treat her like a family rather than just an employee, and that gave Cloe a place to put her faith in. It really became a home to her. No wonder she had such a high opinion when it came to Raelle Xiang. 
Shui Man patted his shoulder encouragingly, "Welcome to the family! I still don't like you but I'll be civil considering we once were best friends." "Geez! Thanks! But you're still hateful!" "I don't care," replied Shui Man. "And you'd sound more believable if you move your hand away from my sore shoulder!" 
Shui Man pressed his lips together to hide his smile and said in a fake tone, "Oh, sorry! I didn't realize!" 
"Of course, you did!" Cui Xukun didn't believe a word he said. He wasn't gonna fall for that sweet smile. He wasn't one of those girls who were fans of this sunny boy Shui Man. He was after all best friends with this man once upon a time. He was long immune to that sunny smile. Besides, Shui Man's smile wasn't even as sunny as it used to be. Now, it held a very dark edge to it..
