Chapter 995: No Joking

Chapter 995: No JokingIn all honesty, Raelle's eyes were just as blank as ever but for some bizarre reason, Mu Chenyan could see grievance in that pair of eyes. Maybe she broke her own brain to even have this illusion.        

Like a startled rabbit, Mu Chenyan shot up from the ground and called out, "Elle! When did you come?"    

"When you said you don't want to see me," replied Raelle in an even tone. "I never thought there would come a day when you'd stop liking me. I think my heart is hurting right now." She even placed her hand over her chest to emphasize her point, "I can't breathe."    

Mu Chenyan was scared out of her mind while Shui Xian gave his wife a look. He really didn't understand when and how his wife got addicted to acting. He even told her it didn't suit her and yet here she was at it again.      

But seeing Mu Chenyan's frantic behavior, he sighed to himself. Clearly, this act worked on Mu Chenyan.      

"You don't love me anymore?"    

"Who said that?" Mu Chenyan almost yelled. "How can I not love my Elle? Don't you know what you mean to me?"    

"But you didn't want to come and see me," Raelle pointed out.    

"That's because... I... I thought you'd be busy. Yes, that's right."      

Raelle gave her a look before saying, "Liar. You didn't want to see me because you're afraid that you won't be able to help to cry and I don't like seeing you cry."    

Being seen through, Mu Chenyan stilled for a moment before she nodded.    

Who didn't know that Mu Chenyan usually cried only when things involved Raelle? Even Raelle knew this very well. But she also never liked seeing her cry.      

Raelle lifted her hand and wiped Mu Chenyan's tears asking, "Are you done crying?"    

"Where is it hurting?" Mu Chenyan asked in return rather than answering her question.    

"It doesn't hurt," replied Raelle. "I was just joking with you."    

Mu Chenyan looked at her suspiciously and Shui Xian couldn't help speaking, "Only you'd fall for that acting, Yanyan. I don't think anyone else fell for it."    

Mu Chenyan looked around to see everyone giving her a look and she sniffled, "So what? I just love my Elle. Can't I be worried?" She took another look at Raelle and added, "Elle, can you not joke about your health? You know it's scary to me."    

"When are you not worried?" asked Raelle. "I told you long ago that you should stop worrying about me."    

"Is that something in my control?" asked Mu Chenyan in return. "What are you doing here?"    

"Can't I come over?"    

"I didn't mean that."    

"I came for lunch."    

"Oh, why didn't you say so earlier? What time is it?" Mu Chenyan got frantic once again. "There isn't much time. Let me see what I can make."    

Raelle held her hand saying, "The lunch is already prepared. I already informed them that I'm coming over."    

"Huh? Why did no one tell me?"    

"Who told you to stay in your room all the time?" asked Raelle in return.          

"Then let me see what they made," said Mu Chenyan.    

"No! Today, you're just going to sit with me and eat," said Raelle. "Stop rushing around. We have serious business here."    

In the end, the serious business Raelle was just to feed her Yanyan who hadn't eaten anything today. Mu Chenyan looked at everyone as she asked, "Who went to tell Elle that I didn't eat?"    

"No one," answered Raelle herself. "As if I don't know anything about my Yanyan. How many times have I told you that in the process of taking care of me, don't always forget yourself. You cried so much, what if you got dehydrated?"    

Mu Chenyan slightly hit her shoulder at that stupid comment of hers that never gets old. Then she clipped a peace of chicken and brought it to Raelle as if to feed to her.    

"I'm here to feed you, not the other way around," said Raelle.    

"But it's not every day that my babygirl sits with me for a meal. I miss the time when I could feed you every day."    

"Chenyan, she is already married," reminded Grandfather Xiang.    

"Elder Xiang, how many times I have told you not to mess around when I'm with my Elle? I'll feed her. What does that have to do with you?"    

"You've spoiled her habits and Xian has to suffer because of that," said Grandfather Xiang.    

Mu Chenyan gave a dissatisfied look to Shui Xian asking, "You're suffering?"    

Shui Xian shook his head like a rattle, "No way. I'm happy to serve my wife."    

"That's more like it," Mu Chenyan finally gave him a pleasing look and Shui Xian breathed a sigh of relief. If possible, he didn't want to be in her range of attack. It was nerve-wracking.    

"When are you gonna stop bullying my husband?" asked Raelle.    

"I'm not bullying him," said Mu Chenyan. "In fact, of all our family's sons-in-law, I have the best relationship with Xian. Isn't that right, son-in-law?"    

Shui Xian nodded his head, "Yes, yes. We have the best relationship. It's just our way of interacting is unique."    

"See?" Mu Chenyan smiled at her Raelle as she coaxed her like a baby to eat more.      

Raelle was really helpless in front of this woman who loved her more than the world. And she was the only one who could coax her as well. Even if Raelle never acted like a baby, she was still Mu Chenyan's baby and she'd do anything for her baby.    

"Elle, I'm planning an engagement banquet for you," said Mu Chenyan cautiously.    

"Is that why you locked up yourself?" asked Raelle and seeing Mu Chenyan nodding, she thought about it before saying, "Okay. It's up to you. You can do whatever makes you happy."    

"Really?" Mu Chenyan looked at her in disbelief.    

"What? Do you think I can't even do this much to make you happy?"    

Mu Chenyan smiled widened and she nodded, "This is perfect. You don't worry. As always, you just have to show up. I can do everything on my own."
