COLD CEO AND ARROGANT WIFE, VOLUME 5 - Season 10 Episode 94

Thinking about the people who wronged her father, Xiang Wai suddenly thought of Mu Chenyan. Her aunt loved her brother way too much. She couldn’t seem to ignore the way Mu Chenyan’s eyes would sparkle when she faced Xiang Hulin. She’d literally go from a fierce tiger to a cute kitten in front of her brother.

The contrast was too drastic.

It seemed, she couldn’t deny that the other person who was wronged was Mu Chenyan. She had to leave her brother. She had to raise a child who didn’t belong to her. And she had to dedicate her youth to the Xiang family.

“Ge, have you seen Aunt?” asked Xiang Wai.

Xiang Weimin shook his head, “Not really. She wasn’t at the breakfast and it was said she was sleeping in. But thinking about it, aunt doesn’t have the habit of sleeping in. Do you think something is wrong with her?”

“It’s very possible,” agreed Xiang Wai. “I’m gonna go and look for her.”

Xiang Weimin also put down his gardening tools and followed her in. At first, he didn’t pay attention, but it was really odd not to see Mu Chenyan. Their aunt loved to feed them all kinds of things as long as she was home. But it was close to lunchtime and they had yet to see her even though it was said that she was staying in today.

“Yue’er, where is our family’s Chenyan today? Is she planning to lock herself in the room?” Grandfather Xiang was asking Yue Yue who also looked concerned right now. It was so not like Mu Chenyan to stay in her room for so long. It was truly worrying.

‘I knocked on the door but she refused to come out.’ Yue Yue was also helpless about this.

Grandfather Xiang wasn’t actually worried. He knew Mu Chenyan all too well. He raised her. How could a man not know his own daughter? But it wasn’t sitting well with him that this daughter hadn’t come to see him since morning. And most of all, she didn’t even eat anything.

He took his phone and gave Mu Chenyan a call. As soon as the call connected, he said, “Chenyan, you better come down while I’m being nice.”

As soon as Xiang Weimin and Xiang Wai entered, they saw a figure woosh pass them and went straight to stand before Grandfather Xiang. There was a huge grin on Mu Chenyan’s face right now as she faced him.

“Are you that excited?” asked Grandfather Xiang with a helpless look. He didn’t even have to ask to know what was so exciting to her.

Mu Chenyan nodded her head vigorously. “Exciting. It’s huge. It’s the best news I’ve ever got in my life.”

“Why do I think I’ve heard the same sentence from you before?”

Seeing his teasing expression, Mu Chenyan pouted, “Elder Xiang, you can’t do that to me. You know that’s just my way of saying how happy I am.” She took a cushion and placed it by his feet. She sat on it as she put her hands on his knees saying, “Aren’t you happy? I thought this day would never come.”

“I’m happy. But clearly, our Chenyan is over the moon,” commented Grandfather Xiang as he caressed her face lovingly. “You look silly right now.”

Mu Chenyan didn’t mind that comment. She even laughed like a silly person. To the point that tears brimmed in her eyes, “From the moment I held her in my arms, I had dreamed about her wedding. But as she grew up, I started losing hope. I thought my Elle would never be like others. But did you see it? She actually proposed. She did! Not the other way around, Elder Xiang. It’s our Elle who did it. You know what that means?”

Grandfather Xiang felt heartache when he saw her acting like this. He rubbed her head, “I know.”

Of course, he knew. To others, the news of Raelle’s proposal was just a shock but to these two people, it was a lot more. It meant a lot more as well. It wasn’t just anyone else proposing, it was Raelle Xiang who found 90% of the things in life troublesome. She didn’t even like these unnecessary formalities like the proposal or even a grand wedding. That’s why she straight went to get a marriage certificate. To her, that was job done.

And that’s why they were very shock when she said she’d hold a wedding ceremony. But this time, it was beyond shock because she got on her knee to propose. And she wouldn’t do it unless she had understood her feelings.

How could it not make Mu Chenyan want to laugh and cry at the same time?

“My babygirl grew up,” she said as she placed her head on Grandfather Xiangs’ knee and her tears fell even harder.

Grandfather Xiang continued to stroke her head, “You should be happy instead of crying like this.”

“I can’t help it,” said Mu Chenyan. “I’ve thought about it. I’m gonna hold a big banquet to announce their wedding. Let’s call it an engagement party.” She wiped her eyes and continued to talk, “I’ve already thought about it all. We never went through an engagement. If we are doing things grandly, we should do it properly and go all out!” And then she kept explaining how she had chosen the date, venue, theme of the party, even got the order of dresses done.

“All this and you didn’t even talk to the bride and groom?”

Mu Chenyan suddenly stopped and scratched her head, “It’s not that I truly forgot about it. It’s just I didn’t want to see Elle right now.”

“Why? Yanyan doesn’t like me anymore?”

Mu Chenyan was startled to hear that voice and turned to look. She found Raelle standing at the door with Shui Xian by her side. Raelle’s eyes seemed to be poking Mu Chenyan showing the grievance and questioning her why she didn’t like her anymore?
