Master's Untamed Wife

Hyson didn't know what it was about but he was curious to know. What was Shui Xian up to? He looked over his shoulder at Raelle who was following them silently and his eyes seemed to be probing her for an answer. However, he could tell from her eyes that she also had no idea what Shui Xian was really up to. This just sent Hyson's curiosity to the peak!

It was Hyson's first time to come to the basement and he was certainly surprised to find this home theater setup. The design was minimalistic and dominated by the color black. However, it gave off a sophisticated and yet somewhat cozy feeling. He looked at everything curiously and finally his eyes landed on the home cinema led wall.

"Are we watching a movie?" asked Hyson.

"You can say that," replied Shui Xian mysteriously. He walked over to operate to fiddle with the system.

Suddenly, the huge wall screen lit up and Hyson's eyes popped open when he stared at that picture of Shui Xian and Raelle on that big screen. That sea of the flower behind them certainly added another kind of beauty to this picture.

His lips twitched, "Did you call me over to throw dog food at my face?"

Shui Xian also looked at his wallpaper and smiled sheepishly, "I just connected it with my laptop. But don't worry, this is not why I called you over." He saw how both Hyson and Raelle just stood there, so he added, "Why don't you both just sit down? I feel intimidated by the way you're standing there and looking at me."

"What is your husband up to?" questioned Hyson as he sat down on that comfy black sofa.

Raelle crossed one leg over the other as she stared straight at the LED wall screen saying, "He has a surprise for you."

"What is it?" asked Hyson.

"He didn't tell me but I'd be an idiot if I didn't manage to figure it out by now," commented Raelle.

"So? What is it?" Hyson's eyes sparkled. He was actually itching to know what this was all about. As Raelle had told Shui Xian, Hyson really didn't handle surprises well. He loved knowing things as early as Raelle. It'd give him peace of mind.

Raelle held his head in her hands and turned it towards the screen saying, "See it for yourself."

Hyson wanted to turn his head back towards Raelle to argue but when he looked at the screen, he went quiet with his eyes wide open.

An old video played on the wall screen and he could hear a voice, "Hey! Turn on the camera! My Yue is about to sing for me!"

"The camera is on," came someone's reply who seemed really amused. "By the way, why is Yue singing for you when it's your son's birthday?"

An elegant-looking woman faced the camera and retorted, "My Xian is too young to enjoy this performance. So, this one has to be for me. Besides, it's me who risked my life to give birth to Xian. It's not like he made an effort."

Shui Xian shook his head and smiled at his looked at the woman on the screen. That was his mother, Qian Yin. She looked so happy as she looked towards the stage and started shouting like a little girl, "Yue! Do your best!"

The camera moved towards the person on the screen who covered her face in embarrassment when she heard Qian Yin shouting at her like that. It wasn't like they were at a concert or a party. Qian Yin didn't have to shout. It made her stand out even though she was the host of tonight. Everyone looked at her weirdly. After all, it was the kind of behavior frowned upon in their circle.

However, Qian Yin wasn't affected at all. She just wanted to encourage Yue Yue who had always lacked a bit of confidence in life and was too shy for her own good.

Only when that woman sat down in front of the piano did she lower her hands from her face and give a sweet smile to the audience. Hyson felt his heartbeat slowing down as his eyes were stuck on that figure he saw on the screen. That young girl clad in a baby pink gown was his mother. She looked so young, pure, naive, and adorable.

The shine in her eyes was something Hyson had never seen before. But the thing he was anticipating was her voice. Just as Yue Yue's lips parted, Hyson held Raelle's hand so tightly that his veins were visible.

"This song is dedicated to my dear Yin Jie and my brother-in-law, Shui Koshing! I wish you both a hundred years of a happy marriage!"

Even now, one could see that the most exciting clapping was coming from Qian Yin.

Hyson's eyes turned soft when he heard that sweet voice. He had always imagined what his mother's voice would have sounded like but he could never really do it.

?? I swear by the moon and the stars in the skies

And I swear like the shadow that's by your side

I see the questions in your eyes

I know what's weighing on your mind

You can be sure I know my part

'Cause I'll stand beside you through the years

And you'll only cry those happy tears

And though I'll make mistakes, I'll never break your heart ??

Hyson felt choked up when he heard her sing so beautifully. He felt like something was stuck in his throat. In his 25 years, this was his very first time listening to his mother's voice. Wasn't it quite sad?

??And I swear by the moon and the stars in the skies

I'll be there

And I swear like the shadow that's by your side

I'll be there

For better or worse, 'til death do us part

I'll love you with every beat of my heart

And I swear

Ooh

I'll give you everything I can

I'll build your dreams with these two hands

We'll hang some memories on the walls

And when (and when)

Just the two of us are there

You won't have to ask if I still care

'Cause as the time turns the page, my love won't age at all ?? [Song: I Swear, Group: All-4-One, Year of release: 1993]
