736: Dream Guy

Dream Guy

Both Mu Chenyan and Shui Koshing looked up at Raelle strangely.1

"Don't tell me she is right," Shui Xian felt like he was gonna lose his mind if it turned out to be true. 

Fortunately, Mu Chenyan shook her head, "No. You're wrong, darling. She wasn't in love with Tang Hebe's father." Just as Shui Xian was about to breathe in relief, Mu Chenyan dropped the bomb on his head, "She was in love with Tang Hebe's eldest uncle, Tang Mu."

"Really?" asked Raelle.

Shui Koshing nodded his head, "Yes. I told you once daughter-in-law, Qian Yin always had better options than me. Tang Mu was that better option."

"If you ignore the fact that he was from the Tang family," Mu Chenyan chimed in. "Because the only thing wrong with Tang Mu was the fact that he was the eldest son of the Tang family." She leaned back on the sofa as she went on, "Apart from that fact, he was the perfect guy. I met him a couple of times when I was a kid. He was just a teenager back then but he was still more impressive than his peers. He always stood out. Wherever he went, the crowd followed him. He was handsome, gentle, very calm personality, loved peace, and always smiled at people giving them a comfortable feeling. He had a big fan following even back in the day when the internet wasn't a thing because his fame was spread far and wide."

Shui Xian was still reeling in shock while Raelle questioned, "What are you trying to say by explaining his good qualities?"

"I'm trying to tell you how easy it was for anyone to fall in love with a guy who was publicly known as the dream guy of ladies," said Mu Chenyan. She patted Shui Koshing's shoulder, "So, Shing Ge, don't be upset. He was really like the moon, it couldn't be helped that a star like Qian Yin fell for him."

Shui Koshing swatted her hand away, "Shut up! Keep your sympathy to yourself. Why would I be upset? She was my wife, in the end!"

Mu Chenyan felt like Shui Koshing really had a way to console himself. But she should really stop rubbing salt on his old wounds. 

"Everyone lived in the same city, it was inevitable to run into each other," said Mu Chenyan. "Back then, Tang Mu and Qian Yin ran into each other only in middle school. Both families' children grew up with the knowledge that both families were enemies. But every generation has some oddballs. Let's say Tang Mu and Qian Yin happened to be those oddballs who thought that family feud had nothing to do with them. Especially since Tang Mu once happened to save Qian Yin's life during a camping trip."

"When did that happen?" asked Shui Koshing in surprise.

"You don't know?" asked Mu Chenyan. "Well, of course, you don't know. You only met them in high school and this happened in middle school."

Shui Koshing narrowed his eyes at her, "Then how do you know?"

Mu Chenyan coughed and looked anywhere but at him.

"Chenyan!"

"Fine, I learned about it from Yue," answered Mu Chenyan. "Happy now?" She grumbled something to herself before saying, "I was curious why Qian Yin decided to forget the family feud and befriended Tang Mu. Yue told me it was because Tang Mu saved her life and she felt like not everyone in the Tang family was a scumbag worthy of her hatred. Well, in retrospect, she wasn't wrong either. Tang Mu deserved the fame he got back then. He was really a good guy worthy of respect and admiration."

"Why don't you say something?" asked Mu Chenyan to Shui Koshing. "I'm thirsty now. Continue the story, I'm gonna drink something first."

Before she could even try to escape, Shui Koshing threw a bottle at her which she caught perfectly and glanced at him. "Just drink it. Don't even think of escaping now."

Mu Chenyan could only sigh at her luck right now and uncap the bottle to drink.

"By the time Tang Mu and Qian Yin entered the high school, they were already best friends. It was like family feud had nothing to do with them," told Shui Koshing. "In fact, they were known as the perfect match for each other. If the dream guy won't fall for the dream girl of the school then who else? It was unanimously decided that they are a match made in heaven. Meant for each other."

"I can't believe that just came out of your mouth," said Mu Chenyan in shock. 

"Do you really think I can't talk about that time?" retorted Shui Koshing. "It's not like I ever hated Tang Mu or anything. Back then I only had a crush on Qian Yin but seeing her being surrounded by such an exceptional guy, even I subconsciously believed that they were actually a good match."

"You really thought so?" asked Mu Chenyan.

"Do I look like a scheming man or a jealous one?" asked Shui Koshing in return. "I know when to back off you know. She never even looked at me as anything more than just a friend. Why would I be jealous?" Perhaps, he was a little envious of Tang Mu back then because of how he always had to lose to that guy. But he wasn't jealous. He also appreciated Tang Mu's abilities and didn't find it surprising that Qian Yin would be attracted to such an amazing guy.

Just as Mu Chenyan had said, the only fault that could be found in Tang Mu was that he was the Eldest young master of the Tang family. Apart from that, he was perfect!

"They really started dating?" asked Raelle bringing these back on track.

"Yes," answered Mu Chenyan. "By the end of high school, they were madly in love with each other."

"Since you phrased it as 'madly in love'. How mad was that love?" inquired Raelle.

"Mad to the point of eloping," was Mu Chenyan's casual response.
