Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 1245  Not An Old Lady

"On a serious note, if someone isn't taking you seriously, don't you need to think about what really is the problem?" asked Cloe. "Maybe you aren't doing a very good job at claiming ownership. Or maybe your boyfriend is giving someone mixed signals," she had an evil smile when she said that.

Xiang Wai didn't lose her temper this time. She was a fool but she still wasn't gonna fall for this trick.

"Or maybe, this 'someone' is a psycho!" said Xiang Wai. "And I think that's a lot more believable."

"Why? Why can't it be the other two reasons?" asked Cloe.

"If you have moral integrity, you'd know that once a man or a woman has a partner, that's a sign for you to back off. Whether they are a good match or not is their business. Not yours to try and come in between them. And if you're doing that, it just makes you a very cheap person."

"It seems you are still very sober."

"I might get drunk on love, but that doesn't mean I lose my mind," answered Xiang Wai. "You really underestimate me too much."

Cloe nodded her head and didn't continue as the server brought in the ingredients for the hot pot. All of them picked up their chopsticks and started taking the ingredients of their choice to soak in the clear soup or the spicy one as per their favorites.

"When are you both going to propose?" asked Raelle.

"I haven't decided yet," said Xiang Wai.

"Then why did you steal my rings? I planned it for next week!"

Xiang Wai rolled her eyes at Cloe, "That's still not good enough reason for me to give up." She took a pause and asked, "You already planned it?"

"Yeah. I hired an event planner."

"You did what?"

"What?" asked Cloe. "Event planners also organize proposals. Dreamy, romantic, nostalgic, memorable, whatever you want, they offer."

"It's your proposal, why are you getting strangers involved?"

"She is too lazy to do all that herself," Raelle chimed in.

"Chief! That's not the reason."

"What else? Lie to someone who doesn't know you. It's obvious that you want something grand but you don't wanna lift a finger. So, you hired an event planner."

Cloe couldn't argue with her over this so she humphed and concentrated on eating.

"Major won't go for a grand proposal for sure," said Raelle.

"No, I won't," answered Xiang Wai.

"It seems you have a plan too."

"I do," agreed Xiang Wai. "Would you like to be a part of it?"

Raelle looked at her sparkling eyes and thought about it for a moment before nodding her head, "Sure if you don't think I'm intruding."

"Would you give me an extra point in the bridesmaid competition?"

"No."

Xiang Wai's face fell, "Forget it. I'd still call you. In fact, I'd call you all to see."

"Why?"

"You have to capture the moment I bring Zhai Yanjun to tears," said Xiang Wai very righteously.

"Since you already have a plan. Why haven't you picked a day yet?"

"Isn't it because I want everyone to be there? It's just that Yue Fai is not around."

Raelle paused when she heard that and then she stared at Xiang Wai, "Don't you love arguing with him? Why are you being so considerate now?"

"At the end of the day, he is still Yanjun's brother. And even if we argue, he is still family. Can't leave him alone just cause he is so busy out there."

"Then I'd like to say thank you on his behalf for thinking about him so much," said Raelle.

"I never thought Raelle would be willing to talk about gratitude on behalf of another person. I guess only Fai has that honor," said Xiang Wai.

"He does get some privileges."

After that, they all ate while talking about some random things. By the time, they were done, it was already past 10 o'clock at night.

"How about seeing a late-night movie?" suggested Xiang Weimin.

"Let's go home," said Raelle.

"Why? Don't wanna watch a movie with us?" asked Xiang Weimin.

"No."

Xiang Weimin choked on air with how simply and easily she said no. He took a deep breath to calm himself.

"But you went to the movies with Xian," reminded Xiang Wai.

"That's my husband."

"You went with Fai too."

"I only go to watch horror movies with Hyson. Please, correct your facts."

"We can watch horror too," said Xiang Weimin.

"Are you scared of horror movies?" asked Raelle.

"No. What's there to be afraid about?" He is someone who has seen real blood and death around him. Why would he be scared of imaginary ghosts? It didn't even make sense.

"Then it's no fun," said Raelle. "Do you think I go to movies with Hyson for fun? It's not that I enjoy the movie, his reaction to horror movies is a lot more enjoyable than what's on the screen. Next time, take him to a horror movie and you'd understand what I mean. Also, you don't even like movies. Why insist on dragging me into this?"

When Xiang Weimin went silent, Cloe couldn't help asking, "Weimin brother, you don't like watching movies?"

"No," answered Xiang Weimin.

"Why?"

"I don't think you need a reason for that," said Xiang Weimin. "I just don't watch movies."

"Do you watch tv?" she asked.

"Yeah. Sometimes."

"What do you watch on tv? News? Or boring documentaries like Chief?"

"Neither. I watch sports."

"Ah!" Cloe had a look of understanding and stopped asking questions.

"Are we done here? Can we go home now?" asked Raelle. "It's way past my curfew."

"You have a curfew at this age? Who set it?"

"Me! I set it for myself. Because I am a very disciplined person."

"That was a pointless question," said Xiang Wai to herself and sighed. "Let's go home then. I wanted to try that toy machine but now, let's not."

"Are you a kid?" asked Cloe.

"At least, I'm not an old lady like you," retorted Xiang Wai.

Raelle walked away from the two of them who had become too spicy and easily irritable tonight for no reason. She really needed to get back home right now.
