COLD CEO AND ARROGANT WIFE, VOLUME 4 - Season 7 Episode 9
All of them turned to look and found Grandfather Xiang staring at Mu Chenyan with a strange expression. “Almost cried?” He asked in a weird tone. “You?” He raised his brow inquisitively. “Do you even know how to cry?”
“I do,” said Mu Chenyan. “I cried when my Elle got married.”
Grandfather Xiang continued to look at her, “Chenyan, leave Raelle out of this. You can shed tears for hers. That’s normal. But you take a scolding and cry? That’s impossible in this life! You’re more think-skinned than anyone I know.”
“Then you definitely don’t know enough people, Elder Xiang,” said Mu Chenyan righteously.
He didn’t want to argue with her and operated his wheelchair to leave. Mu Chenyan saw him leaving made a face behind his back saying, “You shouldn’t listen to Elder Xiang.”
Xiang Weimin and Xiang Wai were both amused but didn’t say anything.
Mu Chenyan suddenly clapped, “Wait! Since you have taken a vacation, that means you’re free?”
“I guess,” was Xiang Wai’s uncertain answer because Mu Chenyan’s eyes directed at her were too feverish.
Mu Chenyan suddenly laughed, “Great! But you’ll be bored at home with nothing to do. How about auntie take you out for some fun?”
“Mu! Chen! Yan!”
Mu Chenyan straightened up once she heard that shout and gave Grandfather Xiang a sweet smile, “What happened, Elder Xiang? Why are you back? Weren’t you going to the garden for fresh air?”
“I was afraid you’ll come up with one of your terrible ideas, so I came to see,” replied Grandfather Xiang. “And I wasn’t wrong at all. You’re still up to no good?”
“I’m always up to good,” said Mu Chenyan.
“Are you?” asked Grandfather Xiang.
Mu Chenyan licked her lips and sighed, “Fine. I’m never up to any good. But so what? What do good people get in life? I tell you, they get nothing!” She looked at her niece and nephew and proudly told them, “You see, your aunt isn’t a good person. But I’m not a bad person either. They say there is a thin line between good and bad. I’m the lurker on that thin line.”
“I’d love to go out with you then, auntie,” said Xiang Wai.
“Really?” Mu Chenyan’s eyes sparkled.
“Chenyan, don’t cause trouble,” warned Grandfather Xiang.
“Relax! I’m a very responsible person,” assured Mu Chenyan.
But it had to be said that Grandfather Xiang wasn’t assured. If Raelle wasn’t involved, Mu Chenyan was like a wild creature out for a hunt. There was no controlling her and there was no way to even know what trouble she’d create in the next moment. She was a worrisome person!
“Yeah! You’re so responsible that you took a five-year-old Wai to a wild forest to hunt,” reminded Grandfather Xiang with suppressed anger.

Mu Chenyan coughed at that reminder, “But I brought her out safe as well. Besides, the real fun of hunting is in the wild forest where you don’t know what dangers are lurking. Why go to those hunting grounds where you already know you’d survive? The real adventure is in the wilderness!”
“I agree!” said Xiang Wai. “No wonder I have always had this obsession with wilderness. It’s because auntie influenced me very early.”
Mu Chenyan grinned at her, “I used to take you out for a lot of fun.” Suddenly reminded of an unpleasant memory, she added, “That’s why even your grandmother made me kneel in snow for hours.”
“It’s not like it helped,” said Grandfather Xiang. “If anything, you grew even more rebellious.”
“Elder Xiang, you can stop discrediting me now,” said Mu Chenyan acting like an aggrieved person. “Can’t you just see me having fun with my niece and nephew? I haven’t seen them in a long while.”
“Fine,” Grandfather Xiang gave in to her just like that. No matter what, he was still like a father who was powerless before his daughter. And Mu Chenyan was the only daughter he had. Even though they weren’t related by blood.
“How about we bring Raelle as well?” suggested Xiang Weimin.
Both Mu Chenyan and Grandfather Xiang had an inexplicable expression at that moment. Finally, Mu Chenyan said, “It’s that… Elle won’t go.”
“Why?”
Mu Chenyan scratched her head, “You can ask her for her flesh. She’ll give it to you. Don’t ask her to leave her work and come out to play. That’ll put her into a very difficult position.”
“She doesn’t like having fun?” asked Xiang Wai curiously.
“First of all, her definition of fun is a little distorted,” said Mu Chenyan. “And that leads to the second point which is, working is super fun to her.”
“So what else does she like apart from work?” asked Xiang Weimin. He was thinking if he could get these details, it’d be easier to interact with Raelle and get closer to her. It might take a while but it was alright. He just needed a direction for now.
“More work,” answered Mu Chenyan with a grin.
“If you’re thinking of buying her a gift,” started Grandfather Xiang. “Drop this idea. She has no likes and dislikes when it comes to materialistic things. The number of times I have gifted her something can be counted on fingers. She gives gifts a lot but she doesn’t like being the one receiving the gifts.”
Mu Chenyan also nodded in agreement, “That’s true. That’s true. There are very few things that can catch Elle’s interest.” She sighed, “If you want to please her, don’t bother. She isn’t easy to please. Especially, if you’re intentionally trying to cozy up to her. In her small world, the entry is difficult.”
“Her world is small?” asked Xiang Wai with interest.
“It’s smaller than you think,” answered Mu Chenyan. “In fact, you saw almost all her world gathered in this very room yesterday. That’s how small her world is.”
Xiang Weimin felt like he was beginning to understand some things said by Hyson a little more deeply now. His sister’s life was a closed-off one. She really was guarded against the world.
