Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 998: Take It

"No, I mean. Why are you discussing Yanjun's marriage? Even as a father, I'm not in a hurry."     

"We are not in a hurry too," said Grandpa Zhai. "And it's not like we're gonna force him. But this time, I do want to discuss it with my grandson. Because the candidate is very pleasing to me."     

Zhai Kuijun got curious and asked, "Who is it? Who is this candidate that is even pleasing to my dad?"     

"You know her," replied Grandma Zhai mysteriously.     

"Old man and my old mother, you both should stop being so secretive," said Zhai Kuijun. "I might not be the best father out there but I do deserve to know about my son's affairs."     

"Stop with your pity party," Grandpa Zhai cut off his son. "It's your best friend's daughter."     

"My best friend?" repeated Zhai Kuijun and thought about it. His best friend seemed to be Xiang Hulin who had two daughters. One is already married so... His eyes widened as he asked, "You mean Wai? How do you know Yanjun loves Wai?"     

"What?!" Both elders were pleasantly surprised now. "You mean our grandson is really interested in her?"     

Zhai Kuijun was taken aback by their reaction but still told them honestly, "He has been in love with her since he was young. Didn't you notice that she was always around the time he started resolving his depression? She played a big role in his recovery. And he was very dependent on her as well. Although they never said it explicitly, I always knew something was going on between them. And recently, it seems they have gotten even closer. I heard the other day Wai was sick and Yanjun rushed to her side. And I also saw them on a date. Of course, I didn't go over to catch them but that doesn't mean I don't know anything."     

Both elders didn't expect this development but it only made them relaxed.     

"No wonder Tianyu has this idea," said Grandpa Zhai in understanding. "I was wondering already, Tianyu won't push Wai for an arranged marriage. After all, he never liked interfering in others' matters. It's only Raelle for whom he had to put in extra effort because she told him from the beginning that he'd be the one choosing her partner. But the same couldn't be said about Wai."     

"Why didn't you tell us this earlier?" asked Grandma Zhai in displeasure.     

"I didn't think you'd be interested," said Zhai Kuijun. "Anyway, it's really something to celebrate. My best friend is gonna be my in-law. Now, I can show Koshing that I also have a daughter. He changed a lot since he got Raelle as his daughter-in-law and kept showing off."     

"What game are you middle-aged single men playing?" asked Grandpa Zhai.     

Zhai Kuijun raised his brow at his father who shrugged.      

"Can you argue? You're divorced, and Hulin is divorced. Koshing's wife died. I don't even know which one of you had it worst. But technically, you are all gonna be in-laws in the future. You can make a single men middle-aged group and have fun together."     

Grandma Zhai laughed out loud at her husband's words and gave him a thumbs up, "Old man, that's a very good idea. I approve. I have to tell Jun about this."     

Zhai Kuijun looked at his parents in disbelief. He really couldn't believe this was really happening to him right now. What happened to his parents? When did they change like this? They were always strict. Why did he feel like he was looking at a brand new version of his parents who were carefree and fun? Was he hallucinating?     

What he didn't realize was that his parents got influenced by Grandfather Xiang lately and realized how Grandfather Xiang protected the cubs of his own family with his authority and yet, had such a close relationship with everyone in his family. Everyone not only respected him but also loved him genuinely. How could they not be envious of such a relationship? They realized how wrong they had been by putting the distance between themselves and their son and grandson.     

But that didn't mean they couldn't change at all. There was still time. They could definitely change something.      

"You both are actually making fun of our wounds?" asked Zhai Kuijun. "Dad, no one of us had it easy. We all suffered in our own ways."     

"That's what I'm saying. Isn't it good to make a friends group? You all can relate to each other and bond over your misery."     

"Father!"     

"What are you reacting about? It was purely a suggestion. And a good one as well. Isn't it good to be friends with your in-laws? Don't forget that our three families already have a deep friendship from our times. I, Tianyu, and the old man from the Shui family were as close as brothers. Do you think I won't be happy seeing our sons getting along too? I always found it disturbing when you three didn't get along when you were young. But later, you befriended Hulin and I was happy. Now, there is a chance to get close to Koshing as well. Take it."     

Zhai Kuijun didn't deny it. He couldn't refuse it. Strangely, when they were young even though their fathers were closest buds, they never got along much. They kept a distance from each other. Perhaps because their interests were different back then and mostly because Hulin was always found in the barracks training and Koshing was left to take classes on how to be the future head of the clan. Their interests really didn't match.         

It was after Xiang Hulin's divorce that Zhai Kuijun truly got close to him and they became good friends. But Shui Koshing was busy being the head of his family even then and had no time. Not even for his own family. Later, a lot of things happened in the Shui family and Shui Koshing withdrew himself. He locked himself in his own orb after his wife's death. Even more they couldn't get close.     

But now, it was different for sure. They had a genuine reason to get close.
