Chapter 812 I'll Go

Mu Chenyan could only shake her head helplessly since it seemed, she was really that untrustful. That couldn't be helped now since her reputation was already set in stone years ago. She could only accept it now.

Not like it had much of an effect on her.

When they entered the dining room, the room was lively. Even from outside, Mu Chenyan could hear the voices of Hyson and Xiang Wai. Even Xiang Weimin added some words from time to time. She was suddenly in an even better mood.

The house that was too silent for years was getting livelier. How could she not be happy about it?

When it was just Grandfather Xiang, her, and Raelle, the house was really empty and silent, and it felt cold and lonely. Only now it started to feel more like home. Raelle was a silent person, to begin with, and she preferred to stay in silence as well. Although she never asked anyone to keep quiet, for some reason even the house help was scared of disturbing Raelle whenever she was home. So, even they'd take every step lightly so as to make as little sound as possible.

No matter how much of a troublemaker Mu Chenyan was, she had toned down her behavior when there was no one around to deal with her troubles. She started acting maturely and wisely like an elder. It was only when Hyson was around that she'd occasionally let herself go and bring out that recklessness she was notorious for.

As for Grandfather Xiang, he had always been a serious person.

So, the Xiang Manor had always been a place that was filled with silence. But now, it started to feel more and more like a home filled with boisterous kids.

"Fai, are you serious about the double date?" inquired Xiang Weimin while looking at his sister.

"I am," answered Hyson. "Aren't I good?"

Xiang Hulin gave him a thumbs up, "You're the best."

"Uncle Lin, I think you and I can be good friends," said Hyson. "Only you have the best taste in this family."

"What about me?" asked Grandfather Xiang.

"Opa, you're already my person," was Hyson's reply. "How can you even be compared with them? There is no comparison at all. In fact, I should say, it's because Uncle Lin is your son that he has such refined taste. The credit is all yours."

"Wow! You really know how to butter people up," commented Xiang Wai when she noticed how Grandfather Xiang was so easily pleased by Hyson's words. She couldn't believe it. She also couldn't believe how her own father was falling for this trickster's tricks? Did it even make sense?

"Wai," called out Xiang Weimin. "You'll have a happier life if you stop butting heads with Fai."

Xiang Wai gaped at her brother, "Ge? Are you really my brother?"

"I'm your brother and that's why I gave you my sincerest advice," replied Xiang Weimin.

"You all are scheming against me," said Xiang Wai.

"Why don't you really listen to Fai and go on that double date?" suggested Xiang Hulin. "I don't see anything wrong with that. Don't think that you're going on a blind date. Just think that you're going to make some new friends."

Although he never interfered in his children's personal lives, it didn't mean he wasn't concerned about them at all. He was actually really worried that both Xiang Weimin and Xiang Wai were single even at this age and didn't even show any interest in dating much less marriage. In this case, Raelle was better.

But even if these two never wanted to get married, he won't say anything. Raelle chose to get married because she thought it was the right thing to do. But not everyone has the same thought. So, he really understood his children's decision to stay devoted to their jobs. However, as a father, he couldn't help worrying and wanted them to at least try out before deciding anything.

"I'll go on the blind date."

That's what Zhai Yanjun heard when he entered the dining room and felt like someone just stabbed his heart once again. He really didn't think it'd hurt this much. Especially when it was just the talk of going on a blind date. Why was he reacting so extremely? What would happen once she got married?

Zhai Yanjun mentally slapped himself for even having such thoughts. What marriage? Couldn't he stay positive for once?

"Oh, my little Fai, you really have a blind date for our Wai?" asked Mu Chenyan curiously.

"I do," Hyson nodded his head and even patted his chest. "You can trust me."

Mu Chenyan rubbed his head lovingly, "I trust you."

Xiang Wai squinted at their interaction, "Why don't you tell her to not touch your hair? Do you have to have such double standards?"

Hyson gave her a look, "She is my godmother. Who the hell are you?" He snorted, "You should first get rid of the very obvious dislike you have for me before asking me such things."

Xiang Wai made a face and turned her head away from him. She didn't want to talk to this man anymore. He was challenging her calm mind. She couldn't let him light another fire in her mind. He already burned enough brain cells of hers.

Zhai Yanjun chose the seat beside Hyson and continued to look at the side of his face.

"Stop looking, I know I'm the most handsome here."

Zhai Yanjun rolled his eyes and leaned over to whisper, "You're doing it on purpose."

Hyson raised his brow at him and smirked, "Am I?" Of course, he knew what he was talking about. Wasn't it just about Xiang Wai's blind date? How could he not know?

"Yes, you are," was Zhai Yanjun's argument. He wasn't willing to believe that he was just innocently talking about this blind date. He was doing it to hurt him. Especially since he already figured out the relationship between him and Xiang Wai.
