Master's Untamed Wife-Chapter 1035 - 1035 Mannerless

1035 Mannerless

Huang Shuyi was momentarily caught off guard when he heard that question from her but when he looked at her expression that showed her excitement over fishing for gossip, he found it really amusing.

“What are you talking about?”

Seeing him playing dumb, Xiang Wai pointed at his phone, “Your smile says it all.”

Huang Shuyi restrained his smile and said, “Haven’t you heard a popular internet saying?”

“What?”

“Just because someone is looking at their phone with a smile doesn’t mean, they are dating.”

Xiang Wai snorted, “You think you can fool me with that?” She pointed at his nose as she said, “Spill it out.”

“There is nothing to spill,” he said. “I didn’t even eat breakfast today because of your untimely visit. So, I can’t even spill that out.”

“Disgusting!” she made a face at him. “Does your fans know how you talk?”

.....

“They are my fans and that’s why they have the delusions that I’m perfect and they can date me or whatever. You’re my best friend. You have no such delusions because you know all my drawbacks just like I know yours. What does that mean? It means you and I can’t possibly even think about finding each other attractive.”

“All that talk just to avoid answering my question about whether you’re seeing someone or not?”

Huang Shuyi sighed at that and answered honestly, “Yes. I am seeing someone. Are you happy to know that?”

“Who is it?” she asked further. “Now, don’t say I don’t know her so it’s pointless to tell me.”

Huang Shuyi took a moment before saying, “Actually you do know her.”

Xiang Wai straightened up to hear the name, but their meal was served right then. Only after the waiters had left did she turn back to him waiting for him to continue.

“That’s all I’m telling you for now,” he said. “It’s too soon for me to talk about this relationship with my best friend.”

“No, it isn’t. If you share it with me, I can give you tips.”

Huang Shuyi Haha-ed at her face as he went, “Why would I be looking for dating tips from you? You still need a love guru to tell you what is even wrong with your relationship. Why would I go to you?”

“Hey! At least, I ain’t single like you!”

“I’ve been single by choice.”

“You all singles say that when you have no way to argue. In truth, you all are just jealous!”

“Now, by that one comment, you can literally rile up the single community. Be careful. They might be coming after you with knives in their hands.”

Xiang Wai shrugged, “You can’t blame me for saying that. I’ve heard this ‘I’m single by choice’ comment way too many times. It gets on my nerves. The better answer would be that all these singles never found good partners.”

He picked up the chopsticks as he said to her, “I’ll introduce her to you at your sister’s engagement banquet.”

“You’re invited?”

He glared at her, “Just because you’re not inviting doesn’t mean others are not as well. Your family is a lot more sensible than you.”

“Whether I invited or my family, it’s the same thing. Either way, you’re invited. Just get over it.” She also started eating and suddenly said, “By the way, I’m happy for you. I really was worried that you’d one day shave off your head and go to a monastery to become a monk or something.”

“I did have this thought,” he told her. “I thought about it seriously for a long time and came to the conclusion that I couldn’t be a monk.”

“Why? Can’t leave this world’s desires behind?”

He shook his head, “You and I both know I can give up on anything. It’s just that I can’t give up my...”

“Sleep,” she finished his words for him.

Huang Shuyi nodded his head, “Yes, that. I can’t leave my sleep behind and I’m pretty sure monks even spend days without sleeping or eating as they worship. I’m not afraid of hardships but I love my sleep more than my life.”

Xiang Wai laughed at him and shook her head at him, “You’re really impossible. How can you still sleep like a pig? Can you grow up?”

“I think my sleep also grew up with my age,” was his answer.

“Excuses!” she commented and decided to focus on eating.

In fact, they still brought up some random topics like how their classmates were doing and which ones they were in contact with. Some old memories or old anecdotes. Sharing their future plans and stuff. All in all, it was a happy meal.

After the meal, Xiang Wai excused herself as she wanted to use the washroom and stepped out of the VIP private room. As she was looking for the washroom, she ran into someone she didn’t want to see and didn’t expect to see there either. But then again, it was difficult to not run into each other being in the same city.

“Oh, look, it’s my dear little cousin!”

What? Wasn’t that face enough to make her want to punch it that she had to open her mouth to call Xiang Wai? Now, Xiang Wai felt like really resorting to violence but had to hold herself back and remind herself repeatedly that she couldn’t do it. Not here.

“Where are your manners? Aren’t you gonna greet your elder cousin now?” asked the woman who was dressed in an elegant green dress and looked at Xiang Wai with extreme displeasure. 𝒇𝘳𝐞𝚎𝓌𝑒𝑏𝒏𝑜𝙫ℯl.c𝚘𝒎

“Aren’t I a wild child whose parents don’t want her? How can I have impeccable manners?” retorted Xiang Wai. “No one was there to teach me. Whatever I have is all learned by watching you. Are you saying you’re also mannerless since I learned from you?”

“You!” The woman’s eyes condensed and she glared at Xiang Wai as if she wanted to peel off her skin right there. And seeing the smirk on Xiang Wai’s lips made her madder.
