Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 871: Goodwill

Huang Shuyi fixed the brim of his cap as he sighed, "You asked me to wait."     

"Right, I did," she bit her tongue when she recalled that she indeed asked him to wait.     

"I think I shouldn't have," said Huang Shuyi. "You certainly don't need me here now."     

"How is that possible?" Xiang Wai laughed awkwardly. "We can still go out to eat."     

"Is that what Captain Zhai agrees with?" asked Huang Shuyi as he raised his brow at Zhai Yanjun who was standing behind Xiang Wai silently.      

"It's not my position to make a decision here," said Zhai Yanjun seriously.      

"Captain should keep note of his girlfriend's activities, you never know when someone might steal you from you," said Huang Shuyi.     

"That someone can never be you, Shuyi," retorted Zhai Yanjun.     

Huang Shuyi held his chest and let out, "Ouch! That's brutal!"     

"No, that's me spilling facts," was Zhai Yanjun's response.     

Huang Shuyi shook his head, "Forget it. I know you're not that much of a fool. You already know I'm no longer your love rival." His eyes bent as he smiled at him. He was honestly making himself clear here. He didn't want any misunderstanding so he made his standpoint very clear. Yes, he once did have a crush on Xiang Wai but that had been a long time ago. Even when he had a crush on Xiang Wai, he was clear about his position.     

"So, just to be clear here. Are you both back together?" asked Huang Shuyi after a pause.     

Xiang Wai and Zhai Yanjun shared a look before Xiang Wai replied, "Kind of."     

"Kind of?" repeated Huang Shuyi. "Don't tell me you're actually gonna have a trial period or something like that?"     

"No," replied Zhai Yanjun. "It's just that currently, I'm courting her. We'll take it one step at a time."     

Huang Shuyi nodded to himself, "So, you're gonna make up for all the steps you skipped during the first time, eh? Seems like a good idea." He actually heaved a sigh of relief exaggeratedly and continued, "Congratulations to you both! Hope you stay together for a hundred years to come!" He looked at Zhai Yanjun as he added, "You see that? That's me being magnanimous as a love rival. Ain't gonna act like a sore loser. Learn something!"     

Hyson covered his mouth with his hand to suppress his laughter. He was wondering why his Brother Shuyi was being so nice when usually he was the sharp-tongued one. He'd never let go of a chance to poke where it hurts. And his Brother Shuyi didn't disappoint him at all.     

Thankfully, Zhai Yanjun didn't fly in rage. In fact, he didn't even look displeased right now. After all, the euphoria of Xiang Wai's one 'yes' was enough to last for weeks. How could just this moment ruin anything for him? That wasn't possible at all!     

Besides, it wasn't like he didn't know anything about Huang Shuyi's personality.     

"Should I invite you both out on a meal?" asked Huang Shuyi as he checked the time. "No, it should be you both treating me instead."     

"Don't try your luck," said Xiang Wai.     

"Stingy!" commented Huang Shuyi.     

Under the table, Hyson nodded his head and agreed with Huang Shuyi's remark. He also thought that Xiang Wai was very stingy. It wasn't like she had no money. Leaving her salary or rewards aside. Her inheritance from the Xiang family wasn't small. Even if Grandfather Xiang was a little biased toward Raelle, he was a very fair person overall. He was just a little too attached to Raelle but apart from that, his other grandchildren were also very important to him.     

From the moment he separated his son, he had given away Xiang Wai and Xiang Weimin's shares. And that inheritance alone was enough to make these siblings like a comfortable life in luxury even if they did nothing for life.      

Zhai Yanjun held Xiang Wai's hand and looked at Huang Shuyi, "How about I invite you to lunch?"         

"You?" asked Huang Shuyi thoughtfully. "Forget it. You both must have a lot to talk about. I'll hold on to that lunch invite. Or you can just take our little Fai to lunch and I'll be okay with that."     

Zhai Yanjun's eyes paused on Huang Shuyi as he said, "Fai and you are different."     

"Not really," said Huang Shuyi. "He is a dear little brother. You take him out on a meal or me, it's the same. I don't mind. In fact, I'd be happier if you showed this goodwill to our little mascot. He is the happy pill of our group. You keep him happy, we'll all be happy."     

Hyson couldn't help rolling his eyes at that comment. But he also felt very sweet in his heart when he heard that. He didn't think his mood could affect the people around him but he did know he had a million ways to keep the people around him happy. He was too good at it and he was proud of that skill by now. But then again, he had become proud in general for years now.      

It was good for an idol to be humble, he was told plenty of times but he didn't care. He believed he was humble when he had to be and he was proud where he was allowed to be. It was senseless to through his weight around.     

"You don't worry about Fai," said Zhai Yanjun. "He's my brother. I'd do whatever I can for his happiness. Just a meal is nothing. Besides, he is family. So, no matter how many meals I take him out on, it won't count. After all, as a brother, it's a responsibility of mine."     

Huang Shuyi was actually happy to hear that. He picked up his sunglasses and wore them. He patted their shoulders as he said, "I really hope you both start communicating more. Don't let your love become the victim of silence. Silence kills people. It's a dangerous company to keep."
