Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 1241  Bet On That

“Then are you gonna buy the rings for yourself?” asked Raelle as she faced him seriously.

Xiang Weimin smiled at her and shook his head, “No.”

“Really no?”

“It’s really a big fat NO!”

“Why?”

“I shouldn’t need to explain this to you of all people, my dear little sister,” said Xiang Weimin. “I’m already shocked enough that you agreed with Hyson’s nonsensical idea of me being with Tang Hebe.

“You’d be surprised to know how many times I have fallen for Hyson’s nonsensical ideas.”

Xiang Weimin chuckled at that. He had, of course, heard and seen a thing or two about this. “Leaving aside everything else, she isn’t the kind of a woman I’d consider for the role of my life partner.”

“Okay.”

“That’s it?” he asked in surprise. He thought she’d ask more than that but when she didn’t, he was truly a bit taken aback.

“Even if we are arranging a marriage, the prerequisite of the marriage is to have a good impression of one another. Also, you must be able to see your life ahead with the other person. And when you say you didn’t see that with her, then that’s it. There is no other argument even needed around here.”

“Tsk. You’re such a contradictory person to get along with,” said Xiang Weimin.

“Why?”

“Sometimes, you make people feel like you’re a very difficult person to get along with, and at other times, you become very easy to get along with like right now.”

“It’s a part of my charm.”

Xiang Weimin laughed at that and nodded his head in agreement, “Indeed. That’s definitely a part of your superior charm.”

Seeing him paying attention to the jewelry store, Raelle finally asked, “I heard you guys come in for car shopping.”

“Yeah.”

“Then how did she get to the jewelry store?”

Xiang Weimin sighed, “You ask me, who am I supposed to ask? At first, she wanted me to buy her all kinds of snacks. At this moment, my car’s trunk is filled with her snacks. Then we went to see the cars. She had to test drive every car that caught her eye. We wasted 2 hours there. Two! Oh, in the end, she didn’t want to buy any of the cars she rode. So, after that, she pulled me to this shopping mall to buy her new clothes. Giving her wardrobe a makeover were her exact words. And trust me, it’s not fun shopping with her.” He sighed heavily, “Especially since she can’t make up her mind. She wasted all of my day and barely bought anything. And then she suddenly looked at her phone and ran away. When I followed her, well, she was choosing rings. So, yeah. If you ask me how we ended up here, I have no clue.”

“You wasted your time and money on her all day,” stated Raelle. “What did you get out of it exactly?”

“Her happiness,” he answered calmly.

“Really?”

“Really,” he insisted. “You should have seen the sparkle in her eyes when she was dragging me around the whole day. So, I think trading my money and time for her happiness isn’t all that bad. It’s not every day I get to spoil my sister like this.” 𝑜𝓋𝒍xt.𝗰𝚘𝓂

Raelle gave him a strange look but didn’t comment on it. Of course, she couldn’t understand his views. Did she think it was a worthwhile trade-off? In fact, she wasn’t sure right now and that’s why she didn’t want to comment on it. She would have called him a fool if it was a year back but she had gone through a lot in the past year. So, she didn’t want to comment at all.

“You know, I’d be even happier to spend money on you,” said Xiang Weimin. “Because I didn’t get to do that all my life. It’s pretty normal between me and Wai. Even my very first salary was spent on her. So, I don’t find it a problem. But you… I never bought you anything.”

“I don’t want anything,” replied Raelle.

“I know, my rich sister!” Xiang Weimin joked. “But you can give your brother a chance to experience this feeling, no?”

Raelle looked around and started walking, Xiang Weimin didn’t know where she was going but he followed her. They took the escalator one floor above and finally, Raelle pointed towards something, “Go and buy me a slushie.”

Xiang Weimin looked at the drinks and then looked at her asking, “Seriously? You think your brother is that poor that he can only afford this?”

“No, I find it really unnecessary to buy anything else that I don’t even need right now. So, I feel like trying that thing, I am asking you to buy it. This is not me calling you poor. Poor people don’t look like you anyway.”

Xiang Weimin touched his nose and went to buy her the slushie she asked for. But suddenly came back to ask, “Which flavor do you want?”

“I don’t know. When you’re buying something for me, the very first rule is; to be good at making choices. Because I ain’t gonna be making those for you or for myself.”

 “Got it,” said Xiang Weimin and went back.

“He is easier to order around than Hyson,” commented Raelle to herself. And it was a fact that Xiang Weimin was way easier to manage than that hyperactive best friend of hers. It took her a while to convince him for anything.

Raelle looked around at the crowd on this floor and was a little uncomfortable. So, she looked for an empty corner and went to stand there, waiting for Xiang Weimin. As for Cloe and Xiang Wai, well, she didn’t think they’d be needing her help or rather lack of help. So, it was better to stay here than to go back and listen to their bickering. And she for sure knew that they’d still be bickering over something. She could bet on that. She couldn’t possibly be wrong with her guess regarding this.
