COLD CEO AND ARROGANT WIFE, VOLUME 5 - Season 8 Episode 97

“What is he doing here?” asked Mu Chenyan in a sour voice. Then she looked at the tears in Yue Yue’s eyes and her fighting spirit was ignited. “You bastard! You just stepped inside my home and already started hurting my family! Who gave you the courage?”

Mu Chenyan was really gonna beat Zhai Kuijun if not for her dear brother who stepped between them and said, “Relax. Chenchen, you need to calm down first and understand the situation first.”

“What’s there to understand?” she rolled up her sleeves and wanted to jump over to throw a punch.

“He didn’t do anything,” said Xiang Hulin as he tried to stop this tigress from beating Zhai Kuijun. He knew very well how heavy handed Mu Chenyan could be. He didn’t want Zhai Kuijun to suffer physically as well. Poor man was already having a mental and emotional collapse from knowing that Yue Yue couldn’t speak anymore.

“Ge!” Mu Chenyan looked straight at her brother. “Step aside.”

Xiang Hulin opened his mouth to say something but she stopped him.

“I said, step aside.”

Xiang Hulin cursed under his breath. He could do anything except for going against his sister. He was the real sis-con of the Xiang family. He lost all his momentum and imposing air whenever his sister stood beside him. In a way, he was the one really deserved some recognition for being the best brother to Mu Chenyan. After all, he was someone who was willing to do anything to spoil her.

He could only give a look to Zhai Kuijun, “Sorry, I really can’t help you.”

Zhai Kuijun was still reeling from the sudden revelation and he hadn’t calmed down yet. How could he understand this sudden reversal of the situation?

But before Mu Chenyan could really move against him, Yue Yue held her back. “Little Yue, let go!” said Mu Chenyan. “Let me teach him how to behave like a human. Is he here to become the ghost of your past? Then he should ask for my permission first and see if I allow him to make you cry.”

Yue Yue shook her head and glared at Mu Chenyan. Since her hands were holding Mu Chenyan’s arms to stop her from moving, she could only use her lips to let her know, ‘Stop it! He didn’t even do anything. I’m the crybaby who just couldn’t help crying. How is it his fault?’

Mu Chenyan could easily shake off Yue Yue’s hands but she didn’t do it. She held back and asked seriously, “Even if he didn’t do anything. Didn’t you cry because you saw his face? It’s his face that’s the problem here. Let me just change the shape or maybe color of that face.”

Yue Yue smacked on her back, ‘Don’t be so hot-headed all the time. I’m fine!’

Mu Chenyan pouted to herself and tsked, “You clearly don’t look fine.”

Yue Yue looked at Zhai Kuijun who was still staring at her in silence. She sighed silently. ‘Give us some space. I’ll talk to him.’

“You want to?” asked Mu Chenyan.

Xiang Hulin looked at Mu Chenyan, “Let them talk. You need to really calm down.” He even patted her head like he was consoling her and lowered his voice to say, “You’re not getting betrayed. Stop acting like we are in a melodrama.”

Mu Chenyan looked at her brother in surprise but she soon calmed down. Indeed, so what if they hadn’t been together for years. He was still someone who knew her best. He could even read her thoughts. And she should feel a bit embarrassed for her thoughts being exposed but she wasn’t. Her brother knew her inside out. She didn’t have to feel embarrassed at all.

“Fine, take him to another room,” said Mu Chenyan but then turned to Zhai Kuijun and gestured with his hands as she said, “I’m watching you.”

Xiang Hulin shook his head at his sister but didn’t forget to tell Zhai Kuijun, “Just wanted to let you know, Yue Yue is family which means she is protected by Xiang family.” He patted his shoulder as he added, “Thought I should let you know.” With that he left with Mu Chenyan.

Meanwhile, Zhai Kuijun was left dumbstruck by Xiang Hulin’s words. ‘Yue Yue is family?’ he repeated in his mind. ‘Protected by the Xiang family?’ That statement was heavy. And Zhai Kuijun understood the value of it better than anyone.

Xiang family had always been loyal people. Once they called you their own, they’ll keep protecting you till the end. But gaining this family’s trust wasn’t easy because every single person from the Xiang family liked to keep their social circle private. He didn’t understand how Yue Yue managed to get into this family but one thing was certain, he was very happy for her.

Why wouldn’t he be?

Xiang family could protect Yue Yue like no one else. And from a very young age, Yue Yue only needed protection but no one was willing to offer it. But once Qian Yin offered that protection to Yue Yue and later Zhai Kuijun. And both were the people who mattered the most to Yue Yue.

Suddenly, all the worries in his mind were gone. He didn’t have to worry about Yue anymore. She found herself a very protected and warm home. One that she deserved.

“You really have some talent,” he said to Yue who was surprised to hear that. “First, it was Qian Yin who’d stand up for you and now, you actually tamed the devil called Mu Chenyan? Why are you still so full of surprises?”

Yue Yue pursed her lips not knowing how to respond to that. Was it a talent? No, more like it was her good luck. Maybe all her luck was used to find her people like her Yin Jie and now Mu Chenyan. Although she always wanted Mu Chenyan to accept her as the older one, that didn’t mean she didn’t like it when the other person spoiled her.
