COLD CEO AND ARROGANT WIFE, VOLUME 4 - Season 7 Episode 75

Shui Xian looked at his father like a proud peacock as if he was challenging his father to come at him now when Mu Chenyan was the one protecting him. Oho! This feeling was addictive! Why didn’t he know it felt so good to be able to depend on someone like this?

Hyson was still sitting leisurely watching all of them. He didn’t know how other families would react to such an incident but clearly, this family was unique! All of them had such a unique reaction to Raelle’s miscarriage that it was shocking.

But deep inside, even he knew why that was so.

None of them wanted to bring up the topic of the child they lost over and over again in front of Raelle and that’s why they were talking about everything except that. Even if the world called her heartless, none of her family would share that view.

Even if Raelle could notice the sadness in Mu Chenyan and Shui Koshing’s eyes, how could it be hidden from Hyson? After all, if Raelle was really pregnant, it meant these two would be the happiest to become grandparents. Even if Mu Chenyan said she was too young to be a grandma, internally, she’d be over the moon. But now, that happiness was no more.

“Would you stop defending him?” asked Shui Koshing.

“Why should I?” retorted Mu Chenyan. “Go over there and stay quiet. Don’t make a scene. I have important things to deal with.” After saying that, she went back to Raelle’s side and asked, “How did it happen?”

Even Hyson straightened up once Mu Chenyan got serious and asked the main question that really concerned her right now. Just who the hell was the blind one who dared to harm her family’s Elle?

Raelle first looked at Shui Xian and then told Mu Chenyan everything in detail. It was only then that Shui Xian learned about the whole situation from Raelle’s mouth. And he even learned of what part Ruan Meilin played in this. A murderous look appeared on his face.

Even Shui Koshing went quiet when he learned about the truth. He also looked at his son and lowered his head after that. He didn’t know what he could say at this moment.

Mu Chenyan snickered, “So, now even mentally challenged people to think they can get away with everything?”

She turned to leave when Raelle called her from behind, “Yanyan!”

“Don’t stop me, Elle!” said Mu Chenyan. “I’ll listen to anything you want but not about this.”

“I wasn’t really gonna stop you,” said Raelle. She actually had no mood of stopping Mu Chenyan. Even if she was a law-abiding citizen who always made sure that Mu Chenyan would stay within limits. She wasn’t planning on keeping Mu Chenyan in check regarding this. “I was just saying, don’t kill her. Just yet.”

Mu Chenyan sneered, “Kill her? I don’t like killing people like her. I’ll keep her alive and breathing.”

Shui Xian was also gonna follow her when Raelle held his wrist and stopped him, “Where are you going?”

“Baby, I’ll be back soon,” he smiled at her, retracting the murderous aura around him. He didn’t want her to see that side of him.

Raelle shook her head, “You’re staying right here. I want you here. With me.”

Shui Xian was still weak before those words. How could he go against that? But he really wanted to follow Mu Chenyan right now. He wanted to personally skin Ruan Meilin. He warned her repeatedly and yet she actually went as far as to hurt his wife? Even if his wife was fine, what about his child? He lost his child! Was he supposed to just let it go?

He couldn’t do that!

But when the question of revenge and his wife arose in his mind, he immediately chose Raelle over everything. Well, revenge was the dish best served cold! So what if he would be a little late? He had faith in Mu Chenyan.

He sat on the bed with Raelle and hugged her shoulders, “I’m right here.”

Raelle placed her head on his chest and hummed in response.

Shui Koshing finally moved after a long moment of silence and said, “Daughter-in-law, I’m sorry.”

Raelle lifted her head and looked at Shui Koshing, “What for?”

Shui Koshing looked at his son as he added, “I knew that keeping Ruan Meilin will one day harm Shui Xian. But I didn’t do anything about this.”

“How is that your fault?” asked Raelle. “No, you all need to understand one thing. If there is anyone at fault in this situation, it’s Ruan Meilin. Your what and ifs won’t do much. Those are just possibilities and they will only stay as possibilities. The reality is that Ruan Meilin dug her own grave and she has to lie in it herself as well. You or anyone didn’t go to her and tell her to make her choices the way she did. She did it all by herself. So, it’s pointless for you all to take the blame.” She took a pause and added, “And if there is anyone else other than whom you should be blaming, that’s me. I am the one who didn’t know that I was pregnant. I should have been careful. But I wasn’t. So, why aren’t you all blaming me but trying to find faults with yourselves?”

Shui Koshing suddenly had nothing to left. But one thing he had to say, “It’s not your fault.” Those were his sincere words. He didn’t even for a second think that Raelle was at fault for losing the child. Heck, he was more concerned about her than having a grandchild. He didn’t get her to marry into their family for the sake of a child.

That was never his purpose. He just wanted a partner for his son and he did found that partner in Raelle. How could he find faults with her just because of a child? He wasn’t that kind of a father-in-law!
