Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 1239  It’s Mine!

Raelle didn’t know what plans were cooking behind her back and neither did she care. Because even if she knew, what could she do? Once Hyson got stubborn, the one to lose will have to be her. She could fight him with words but not when it came to tricks because she didn’t know how to do that.

And since Hyson also knew this fact, it only made his confidence soar and he was ready to put his plans to action.

Raelle couldn’t spare him enough time. After all, she did promise to go out with Cloe to choose her engagement ring. In fact, it was more like she was just watching. Because she definitely didn’t give any useful opinion to Cloe since they came here.

“Chief, I asked you to call Wai.” Seeing that Raelle was so useless at the moment, she had to bring this up. She clearly told this woman to call her sister but who knew she’d be stuck with Raelle alone?

What was she even thinking when she decided to bring Raelle with her to choose the ring? Did her head get knocked by a donkey or something? Because she knew clearly about Raelle’s aesthetics and yet, she brought this woman with her for such an important task.

However, Cloe did a very good job at hiding her inner thoughts or else Raelle would have left by now for being despised even when she so kindly came to offer a hand to help. Even if this helps was negligent. At least she was here with her to support her, no? Why were people so greedy?

“I called her,” replied Raelle. “She said she is out shopping with her brother today.”

“Huh? She took Lieutenant Colonel Xiang Weimin out on shopping? What kind of shopping are they gonna do?”

“The kind where one buys and the other pays,” replied Raelle naturally. Even if she didn’t know about what happened this morning, she was still able to deduce it perfectly that if Xiang Weimin was able to go with her out on shopping than he was definitely playing the role of the credit card.

Cloe had an envious look in her eyes which she didn’t even try to disguise and even said, “There are brothers who really pay the bills of their sisters’ shopping?”

“Should I say something hurtful? Do you really wanna hear it? Don’t say later that I spoiled your mood or something.”

Cloe hmphed, “Please, don’t speak!” She was all too familiar with what could Raelle say in response. What could it be apart from, ‘Just because you don’t have such brother doesn’t mean others don’t either.’ Or it could be something like, ‘Not all brothers are vampires.’

Since she already knew it all, she didn’t feel the need to hear it again from Raelle.

“Help me look at the rings,” said Cloe. “How is this one?”

“Good,” responded Raelle as usual.

“Isn’t the diamond a little too ostentatious?” Asked Cloe feeling puzzled.

Raelle gave her a look, “Then pick the one with a smaller diamond.”

“However, this one looks so good on my finger,” said Cloe.

Raelle didn’t want to say anything. This is why she didn’t go shopping with these women who were too confused with their own choices. Was it really that difficult? Was it? She didn’t think so. Just take the one that makes you feel good. And if you’re getting confused, buy it all. Simple as that!

Of course, Cloe didn’t know what was going on in her mind and neither did she care. She knew she was annoying Raelle by asking these questions but she couldn’t help it. It was her engagement ring. How could she be careless about it? She was gonna propose and had to make an impression.

Cloe looked at the attendant and said, “I’ll look at more designs.”

“Feel free to do so,” said the attendant looking polite and professional.

While Raelle just sat there, Cloe walked around the shop and looked into the glass counters to see more rings on display. Suddenly a pair of rings caught her eye and her eyes brightened. She walked over just as one of the attendant put it on the glass counter and pointed at it saying, “I want it.”

But at the same time, another voice said the same thing. Cloe looked over and her face twitched when she faced Xiang Wai who also had a weird expression on her face.

“What are you doing here?” Asked both of them in unison. Then looking at the pair of rings, they both shouted, “This is mine!”

“How is it yours?” Asked Cloe. “I saw it first.” 𝑜𝓋𝒍xt.𝗰𝚘𝓂

“Haha! I asked the attendant to take it out of the glass counter so I can look at it. What are you on about? I came first. So first comes, first serves.”

“Who made that rule? I don’t accept. I want it,” said Cloe stubbornly.

“But I won’t give it,” said Xiang Wai stubbornly.

“Why do you want it? You don’t even need it!” Pointed out Cloe.

“Why don’t I need it? Don’t I have to propose to my boyfriend?”

Cloe gaped at her. “Copycat!”

Xiang Wai rolled her eyes at her, “If we are talking about copycat, the original isn’t you either. It’s my sister! Why are you following her?”

“I have been following her for ten years. Why can’t I follow now? Just because you came out of nowhere?”

“Why did I come out of nowhere? I have always been here!”

Raelle looked at the two of them from the side and wondered exactly where was this argument going? It didn’t seem like they were fighting over the rings even though she was certain it started from the rings.

Now, how was she supposed to deal with them? She actually wanted to turn around and leave. But one was her ‘friend’ and other was her ‘sister’.

“What’s the fight about?” Asked Raelle as she walked up to them.

“She chose the same ring as mine!” They both said making Raelle give them a look and then she looked at the rings. Well, it was just about platinum ring jewled with diamonds. She wondered why it was so special? Was it worth it to fight over it?

“Then can’t you both just order another pair?”

Both of them gave Raelle a bizarre look like she was blind or something. Of course, Raelle didn’t understand why her suggestion was taken with such disgusting expression? Did she say something wrong? She didn’t think so.

“What’s the problem?”

Cloe calmed down and said, “Chief, it’s a proposal ring.”

“Yeah. So?”

“Sister, you’re aesthetics are blind,” commented Xiang Wai. “Every woman wants to be special. And wants to have a special ring for her engagement too. Unique design that only belongs to her.”

Raelle didn’t understand this either as she said, “But don’t all rings look the same? Same diamonds. Just some small and some big ones. What’s the difference?”

“I don’t wanna have this argument,” said Xiang Wai. “I feel like I won’t be able to make you understand anything.”

“You really won’t be,” agreed Cloe. “It’s not that Chief is being stubborn with her own ideas. She actually really thinks that it isn’t really a big deal.”

“Isn’t that wrong?” Asked Xiang Wai.

“Do you wanna tell her that?” Asked Cloe in return and Xiang Wai shut up.

“I’m standing right here, girls,” said Raelle. “And yes, I’m unable to understand you women and your particularities too. It’s not a crime neither a sin. Don’t look at me like I’m a sinner or something. Forget it. Continue to argue. No, but do it somewhere else. Don’t ruin the brand image of my mother-in-law’s brand here. It’s very precious to my husband.”

Yes, Raelle had come to the same shop where she got her own engagement ring. This is right where Shui Xian played around with her to check her ring size and also got her opinion. Thinking of that, she look at the ring she wore on her middle finger and her eyes softened. She stopped bothering with these two. Instead she said to the manager, “If they argue again, throw them out. Don’t ruin the atmosphere for other customers.”

“This…” The manager was a little shocked and hesitatant. But she couldn’t deny her words either.

“What? Something wrong?” Asked Raelle.

“Nothing. I’ll follow your instructions,” said the manager. Who made Raelle the lady boss around here? She wasn’t a fool to refuse her words.

“Chief!”

“Raelle!”

“I’m not listening,” said Raelle as she walked out without paying them any attention at all. Who asked them to argue like that and even give her a disgusting expression. Just because she doesn’t say anything doesn’t mean she’d let them do whatever. She came to help and got stuck in this too. Who would be happy? She definitely wasn’t!

No way!

“Chief, don’t go!” Cloe ran after her.

“Raelle, wait for me!” Xiang Wai also got serious and ran after her in a hurry.
