Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 1124: Moon & Me

After a busy night, Raelle actually realized what happiness was when she was told that she was free to leave. She wanted to fly away from there. Spending so much time in the crowd was already her limit. She didn’t think she could do it.         

    

So, she was actually re-evaluating their wedding plan and wondering if it was really okay to have a grand wedding. This was just an engagement. What if the wedding is more tiring? What would she do then?     

“What’s on your mind?” asked Shui Xian when he noticed that her eyes weren’t focused as they walked. And she was walking with him correctly only because she held his arm and he was practically leading her around.      

“I am thinking about whether we should have a grand wedding or do it simply,” Raelle shared her thoughts with him clearly.      

“Why did you suddenly think of this?” Before she could answer, he answered his own question, “It must be because of tonight’s events. Was it tiring? Or uncomfortable?”     

“Maybe both,” replied Raelle.     

“Then you think about it seriously,” he told her as he held up her hand and kissed the back of her hand. “I’m fine with anything you decide. We can go for a simple wedding too since we already had a grand engagement. So, making our wedding a private and intimate affair is not a bad idea.”     

“Don’t you want to show off anymore?” she asked because she understood his desire to actually have a grand wedding. Wasn’t he planning it all along?     

“I have shown off enough tonight,” said Shui Xian. “In fact, I’m already very satisfied. This also made me realize that calling so many people is actually not a good idea. So many people stare at my wife. Besides, it’s our wedding. We can just keep it between us. It’s only because I want to see you in a wedding dress that I’m insisting on this wedding ceremony or else, there is no need for affirmation from people. Without this affirmation, you’d still be my wife. Legally wedded wife. People can question our relationship, but they can’t possibly question our wedding booklet.”     

“Then let me think some more about it,” said Raelle. She didn’t immediately tell him the decision because she hadn’t come to a final decision yet. She was only thinking about it for now. They couldn’t rush this. She knew about Mu Chenyan’s arrangements too and Shui Xian always shared all of his plans too. So, it was kind of difficult to decide about this.     

After all, they were planning the wedding for months while this engagement was just impromptu just like her proposal which led to this engagement banquet.     

“Think,” said Shui Xian. “I’m here with you.”     

“Of course, I know that,” was Raelle’s response.      

He took her to the presidential suite that was prepared for them and Raelle first went to change her dress. She wanted to freshen up. But before she could do that, Shui Xian held her hand and pulled her to the balcony.     

Raelle was left looking at him, “What? I want to change.”     

“We’ll do that in a while,” he said. “Come and look at the moon with me.”     

“Why?” she asked.      

“Because it’s beautiful tonight,” said Shui Xian. “Look.” He pulled her over and took her in his arms as he placed his chin on her shoulder which he had gotten used to.     

“It’s round,” said Raelle. “Just like any other full moon night.”     

“Tsk. So unromantic,” sighed Shui Xian. “Don’t spoil the mood. Just see the moon with me.”     𝑂𝑣𝑙xt.𝑐𝒐𝗆

Raelle didn’t say anything and just relaxed her body in his arms. Her body leaned against his chest comfortably and she didn’t care about what he was on about. Wasn’t it just watching the moon with him? She had done plenty of time-wasting things since she married him. One more or one less won’t make much of a difference.     

Besides, she might be unromantic and couldn’t find this moon beautiful but she did like his warm embrace.      

“Aren’t we going home?” she asked. “I thought we’d go home after changing.”     

“No,” he responded. “Let’s just stay here tonight. We are rarely out of the house like this. Besides, I think most of the guests would choose to stay tonight.”     

“Fine,” said Raelle.      

“Looking at the moon, I feel reassured,” started Shui Xian.         

    

“Why?” asked Raelle.     

“Because the same moon has seen you growing up over the years where I couldn’t see you.”     

Raelle tilted her head to look up at him, “That’s…”     

“Don’t stop me. I just want to be that cheesy.”     

“Okay,” she responded and went silent.     

Shui Xian kissed her earlobe and nuzzled as he closed his eyes contently. Oh, how he was enjoying this moment. The slow breeze blowing, this dark night with the bright moon shining on them. How beautiful was this night?     

Or perhaps, the night was the same. It was the feeling in his heart that made the difference. Since he was happy, everything around him seemed beautiful to him right now.      

“How about we make a tradition of moon watching?”     

“How about a no?”     

“You won’t do this much for me?”     

“Don’t look so pitiful. I won’t fall for it.”     

“I’m kidding. It’s not like I can’t drag you to watch the moon whenever I want.”     

Raelle didn’t argue about that because she knew she couldn’t. Even if she insisted, she won’t, she’d still follow him once he asked for it. That’s how much he was able to control her. It’d be right to say that he had a hold on her heart firmly and she was willing to just follow him which never happened before.     

“Do you know the difference between the moon and me?”     

“What now?”     

“The moon can’t have you but I can hug you in my arms.”     

“Hubby, you are going crazy.”     

“I was always crazy for you.”     

“That wasn’t your opinion when we first met.”     

“I was blind back then,” Shui Xian accepted it without any hesitation. “But once I recovered, I have always been crazy for you.”
