Master's Untamed Wife-Chapter 997: Marriage Proposal

A burst of heart laughter was heard and Grandma Zhai looked at her husband whose face was turning red from laughing so much. She frowned at him and came to sit beside him. Grandpa Zhai hung up the phone with a smile still plastered on his face.

"What did Tianyu Ge say to make you this happy?" she inquired in surprise.

"I could hear him beaming through the phone," said Grandpa Zhai. "They are holding an engagement banquet for Raelle and Xian. He invited us." He shook his head saying, "He is happy as if it was his own wedding or something."

"I think you shouldn't doubt what Raelle means to Tianyu Ge," said Grandma Zhai. "And she is such a sweetheart. Who wouldn't like her?"

Grandpa Zhai paused and observed his wife before saying, "Tianyu said there is something else he wants to discuss with us." 𝒇𝒓eewe𝒃𝑛𝒐𝘃𝒆𝚕.co𝘮

"About what?"

Grandpa Zhai was silent for a while before he said thoughtfully, "He didn't say it explicitly but I think I've seen some signs lately. It definitely has something to do with our grandson."

"Jun?" asked Grandma Zhai surprised. "What could it be?"

"What do you think?" asked Grandpa Zhai in return rather than answering her question.

Grandma Zhai thought about it for a while before her eyes widened, "Does he want to deepen the friendship between our family by turning into relatives?" She frowned a little, "But do you think Jun would agree?" 𝑓𝙧𝘦𝘦we𝘣𝙣𝘰𝘃𝗲l.com

Grandpa Zhai gave his wife a look and sighed, "You forget about Yanjun for a while and tell me your own thoughts. If he really has this idea then it means the candidate is Xiang Wai. You've never really liked her."

Grandma Zhai gave her husband a displeased look, "I don't particularly dislike her. I just never liked the way she acted. But that could be just me being old-fashioned. She is a strong and independent woman of this era. Of course, she isn't feminine enough but considering the job our Jun chose for himself, he doesn't need someone feminine. I think it'll be better to have someone who'd be able to understand his job."

"My wife is becoming very open-minded," said Grandpa Zhai in surprise. He wasn't expecting this answer from his wife at all. He thought she'd be against this idea. Because she always stuck to her own ideas all the time. "I really didn't expect this from you."

Grandma Zhai sighed softly, "We are old now, old man. We should stop interfering with young people. Why should I drag my old bones to pick a fight? I'm not the one who is gonna spend life with Jun's wife. It's he whose opinions matter. I had the same idea when my son got married. I just wanted him to be happy but he ended up not making the right choice. But isn't this better? Since he made the choice, he didn't blame us for anything. What if we had chosen such a bad wife for him? Wouldn't it also strain our relationship with our son?" She looked around and lowered her voice to add, "Also, I don't wanna wrong my own grandson. You can see the result of wronging your own child. Didn't you what happened with the Yue family? They have chilled Yue's heart. That's why she isn't even willing to talk to them now. I'm so old. I don't want to lose the chance to be with my grandson. I'm still waiting to see some great grandkids."

Grandpa Zhai's heart eased up and he nodded in agreement, "I'm glad, you think like this. I was worried how I'd react if Tianyu really brought up this matter and I had nothing to say. You know how much I wanted to make our two families bind together through marriage. Why else would I even push Yanjun to have a blind date with Raelle? Now, this is good. Yanjun and Wai are familiar with each other and I think they like each other as well."

"You think so?" asked Grandma Zhai with an exciting look. "How do you know? Did Jun say anything to you?"

"No," replied Grandpa Zhai. "I just guessed. I have seen the way those two act. I always felt there was something between them."

"It'd be so much better if they are really interested in each other," said Grandma Zhai. "Wai is a good girl. At least, she knows how to respect her elders. She is awkward with us old people but she is never impatient with us. Even if our ideas don't match, she has never disrespected me. Even when I used to treat her coldly, she always showed me respect. I must have been blind to not actually pay more attention to her in the past."

"You can't blame her for that," said Grandpa Zhai. "She grew up in a very different environment. It made her rebellious but still, the education of the Xiang family is rooted in her bones. She knows you aren't a bad person so she'd do her best to respect you. I've heard that she knows her bottom line. Unless you really touched her bottom line, she'd be a very nice person to interact with."

"What are you both discussing so excitedly?" asked Zhai Kuijun as he came to sit with his parents with a fruit bowl in his hands. He looked at his parents who were flushing showing their happiness, and got curious about what made them react like this. He hadn't seen his parents this happy in a while. Especially since the Elders of the Yue family came to their house. So, he was very intrigued by their reactions right now.

"We are discussing the marriage of our Jun," replied Grandma Zhai straightforwardly.

Zhai Kuijun choked and coughed violently when he heard that from his parents. He was not expecting their topic of discussion to be his own son's marriage. It caught him off guard and he couldn't help choking.

He slapped his chest and asked, "Are you for real?"
