Master's Untamed Wife

For Raelle, this surprise was really unexpected for different reasons. No one had ever offered her something like this before. She played games with Hyson but only when she had already entered the business world. Because Hyson caught the gaming bug after becoming an idol. Before that, he was a studious person who also excelled in athletes and only preferred outdoor games. 

It was only after he caught too much attention from fans that he learned about the world of video games from one of his group members and dragged her along to play with him as well.

She didn't think her husband would come up with such a gift for her.

"Hubby, your way of spoiling your wife is kind of..."

"What?"

"Strange," concluded Raelle after thinking deeply about it.

"Not strange, darling!" said Shui Xian. "It's special."

"Oh?"

"Aren't you a special one?" 

"So, I've been told," answered Raelle.

"So since my wife is special, she should be spoiled in a special way as well."

"How are you coming up with these reasons tonight?"

"It's all flowing out of my heart tonight. I can't help it." He took a pause and asked, "You don't like it?"

"When did I say that I don't like it?" asked Raelle. "Although it's an unexpected gift, I'll accept it since you offered it to me. Thank you, Hubby! But poor you!"

"Huh? Why?"

"If you had been here, I'd have offered you a thank you kiss but now you're not here so..."

"You can save it for me when I come back."

"No, but I only want to offer this kiss tonight."

Shui Xian stared at Raelle, "You're doing it on purpose, right?"

"What do you think?"

"Go back to bed," said Shui Xian as he sulked all by himself. 

While going back, she asked, "Hubby, now would you like to tell me why else did you think about this sudden surprise?"

"I want my wife to experience everything that I once did. Gaming had been a huge part of my life. And I always wanted a gaming room like that but since I had a strict father, I never got one. Instead, I got beaten up a lot because of gaming."

"Wait! Are you using me as an excuse to fulfill your childhood dream of owning a high-class gaming room?"

Shui Xian laughed at her thought process and played along, "Maybe. So, what do you say? Are you gonna become my shield?"

Raelle pretended to think about it before saying, "Sure! I'll be your shield."

Then he randomly told her what happened on his way here or why he was here in the first place in detail. It was all the boring detail but he was just using it to prolong the time of this call. Even though he knew it was already time for Raelle's sleep, he couldn't hang up the call.

Then he reluctantly said, "I won't keep you any longer. It's your time to sleep. Go ahead."

"I still have something to tell you," Raelle stopped him and he immediately perked up.

"What's up?"

"Your sister came home," told Raelle. 

Shui Xian's smile stiffened as he stared at her and asked, "Did she make trouble for you?"

"Is she that capable?" retorted Raelle. "You should be asking whether I made trouble for her or not."

"So, did you?"

Raelle thought back to the scene and said, "I think so. Since she left with red eyes. Whether it was because she was about to cry or was she angry is something I'm not certain about."

"My guess is it was both," said Shui Xian. Knowing Raelle, he was certain that she was capable of making his sister cry from anger!

"Then you can't blame me. Your sister is only able to chew tender food, not the tough,[1]" said Raelle. After that, she explained everything in detail to Shui Xian. She didn't hide anything. From the start of what she heard or how she confronted Amiah, she told everything to Shui Xian. Seeing him deep in thought, she added, "In fact, I think you should call Bà tomorrow morning. He was really tired so he must be sleeping right now. It's not good to disturb his rest so you can talk to him in the morning."

"You want me to talk to him because...?"

"Because I don't know what to say to him," answered Raelle honestly. "I'm not good with people or their emotions. Sorry, I can't do much for you in this. So, I hope you can talk to him and make him feel better. He didn't look too well."

Shui Xian sighed out, "He must be hurt from what Sying did today. I don't even know how she is able to live with this much anger in her. Can't she just move on?"

"Well, I'm not that familiar with her so I can't say anything about it," said Raelle. "But if you need my help in reforming her, I'm available."

Shui Xian smiled softly at her, "She must be cursing you already. She had three interactions with you and you have already made her cry almost in every meeting."

"Three interactions? Are you counting that phone call we had?"

"Yes!"

"Do you think that phone call was enough to make her cry? She looks like a strong-headed person."

"That is just her way to hide her feelings. In fact, she had always been a crybaby. She ends up crying over the smallest of things. There is no way, your words didn't make her cry."

"Should I count it as my accomplishment then?" Shui Xian raised his brows at her. "Hyson says making people cry is my special talent. I should be proud of it."

Shui Xian laughed at her, "Sure. That sure is your special talent. My special wife has special quirks as well! I really don't know what to do with you." He looked into her eyes and added, "I have an idea about what to do with you."

"What?"

"I can keep you."

"Where?"

He played his hand over his heart, "Right here."
