COLD CEO AND ARROGANT WIFE, VOLUME 5 - Season 10 Episode 59

When Xia Zhao and Mu ChenYan came to the dining table, Grandfather Xiang’s eyes fell on Xia Zhao’s arm. He frowned and said, “Chenyan! What did you do now?”

Mu Chenyan didn’t reply immediately because of her guilty conscious while Xia Zhao answered for her, “Uncle, I just bumped into something.” Grandfather Xiang scoffed, “Zhao, you can shut up. Stop protecting her.” Xia Zhao turned silent.

Shui Xian looked at Xia Zhao and then at Mu Chenyan. He already heard about Xia Zhao from Raelle. Of course, he knew that while Mu Chenyan called Xia Zhao her nemesis, in reality, he was the closest person to her. Currently, he was actually very interested in these two people.

He had never seen Mu Chenyan looking so worked up. Although it looked like she was very angry, Shui Xian could see that anger was just on the surface. Behind that seemed to be complaints. She looked like she had a lot to say to the person beside him but it seemed even she didn’t know what she wanted to exactly say.

“Hubby, what are you looking at?” asked Raelle. “What’s with that smile?” Shui Xian leaned toward her and said, “Don’t you think something is wrong between those two?” Raelle looked where he was pointing and asked, “And what do you think is wrong?”

“The woman is unreasonable and temperamental, the man is too tolerant and patient with her. I have to say, this is a very interesting combination,” commented Shui Xian with a knowing smile. He actually wanted to laugh out loud right now. He finally realized that something could indeed faze Mu Chenyan. And it was actually a man named, Xia Zhao.

The reason was simple, she couldn’t understand him.

Mu Chenyan, the tyrant who was used to ruling couldn’t understand a man. Tsk. Tsk.

They both seemed to like the complete opposite of each other and yet, the synergy was real. He could feel it. He might not be as smart as his wife, but he couldn’t be wrong when it came to feelings. And that is why he could see that actually both Xia Zhao and Mu Chenyan had special feelings for each other. It was just that both were oblivious. Even at this age, they both didn’t even know what name to give to their feelings to each other.

In comparison, even his wife was better than them. Ouch! It hurt his eyes to even look at these dense people. And here he was wondering where did Xiang Wai’s dense genes come from? Clearly, he found the source right here! “Son-in-law, why aren’t you eating?”

Shui Xian’s train of thoughts got off the rail once he heard someone calling him and looked up at Mu Chenyan.

“Is something on my face, son-in-law? Why do you keep looking at me?” Shui Xian cleared his throat and said, “How can I not look when our Yanyan is such a beautiful lady? My mind was just trapped in your beauty.”

Xia Zhao’s chopsticks paused and he glanced at Shui Xian before moving his eyes away. His movement didn’t escape Shui Xian’s eyes. But he wasn’t the only one. Even Raelle noticed that gaze on her husband and then looked at Shui Xian. She obviously didn’t understand what game her husband was playing but she didn’t say anything regarding this as well.

As long as he was happy, who cared what he was up to? “Do you think your sweet words are gonna get you somewhere?” asked Mu Chenyan. Shui Xian shrugged, “It definitely got me the first place in your list of favorite sons-in-law.” Mu Chenyan chuckled, “Are you overconfident?” “No,” replied Shui Xian. “I just know you love me the most.”

Mu Chenyan didn’t deny his words. Currently, there were three sons-in-law. Zhai Yanjun who was secretly dating her Wai, Cui Xukun whom Cloe just brought back home, and then there was the OG Shui Xian whom Mu Chenyan hand-picked for her personal favorite, Raelle!

It wasn’t even a surprise that Shui Xian was her favorite. She wouldn’t argue with that. After all, she really liked Shui Xian even if she said otherwise. It wasn’t just because she picked him by herself but also because she had seen how much change he brought in Raelle and how much effort he put into taking care of Raelle.

Even with Raelle’s miscarriage, she didn’t blame Shui Xian even for a minute. She couldn’t bring herself to do so. She wasn’t blind. She knew he had done his best to keep her safe.

Mu Chenyan put a piece of meat into his bowl saying, “Here. Since you’re my favorite son-in-law, I should give you some special treatment as well.” Shui Xian happily picked up the piece of meat and bit it. “You’re not a bad cook, son-in-law,” commented Mu Chenyan. “This soup you made is delicious.” “Wow! Is it the first time I’m being praised by Yanyan? I feel like something is gonna go wrong. I’m so not used to you praising me.” “Shut up! And you should get used to it,” said Mu Chenyan. “After all, from now on, you’ll have to help me straighten up the other two sons-in-law of the family.”

Shui Xian burst out laughing and silently lit a candle for his ex-best friend Cui Xukun and his current best friend Zhai Yanjun in his heart. Of course, he was gloating inside. It seemed the days would be fun from now on.

“Both of you,” came Grandfather Xiang’s voice. “Is this the time to actually make plans to bully people? Eat silently. And don’t forget we have a guest.”

“I think the guest doesn’t mind,” said Shui Xian as he glanced at Xia Zhao who had a smile on his face as he looked at Mu Chenyan. “What do you think Yanyan?”

“He dares to mind?” Mu Chenyan glared at Xia Zhao. “Besides, who said he is a guest? Ignore him.” “Is that something you should be saying?” asked Grandfather Xiang. “Xian, stop taking her side.” “Yes, Opa!”
