Master's Untamed Wife

After getting dressed, Shui Xian and Raelle had breakfast together. Since he hadn't been able to see his wife for days, Shui Xian definitely cherished every single moment spent with Raelle. 

And when his assistant, Ma Jin came to remind him that he had to get to work, Shui Xian was frustrated. His cold aura was so strong that Ma Jin felt like he was about freeze under this pressure. He had thought his Master Xian had been turning into an easy-going person but clearly, he thought too much. How could flowers bloom on this hundred-year iceberg? That was clearly his wishful thinking!

However, he was actually wrong. Not only flower bloomed on this hundred-year iceberg, but this iceberg was also actually lost in the joy of the whole spring. And the reason why he seemed so cold right now was exactly that this assistant of his was trying to separate him from the person who was the reason for the spring in his life right now. How could he not be angry about that?!

But he also knew that there was no other choice. He had to accept his fate since he was also helpless right now.

"You leave first," instructed Shui Xian after he was done shaking Ma Jin to the core with his freezing pressure. "I'll join you in a while."

"Got it!" Ma Jin replied before hurriedly running away from him.

As for Shui Xian, he turned back and looked at his wife who was looking out the window. He came to stand behind her and snaked his arms around her waist. "Baby, I have to go to work."

Raelle raised her hand and touched his hair saying, "I know."

"But I don't want to go," said Shui Xian.

"Then don't go," responded Raelle calmly and patiently. But her words stunned Shui Xian. She actually said not to go to work!!! Was he hallucinating right now?

There was no other explanation. He must be having auditory hallucinations now.

"Babes, what did you just say?" he asked again to confirm whether it was really an auditory hallucination or not.

Raelle turned around to face him. His arms were still wrapped around her figure. So when she turned around, their faces were actually really close to each other. Shui Xian had lowered his face and now he could see her face up close. This attack of the beauty from so close was fatal along with the words that followed.

"I said if you don't want to go then don't go."

Even when she repeated herself clearly, Shui Xian was in a daze. "Is someone finally answering my prayers? My darling is actually gonna act like an unreasonable wife and tell me to laze around? Are you sure I'm not dreaming?"

Raelle found his manner interesting and pinched his cheek before wrapping her arm around his neck as she told him, "Raelle Xiang is never unreasonable. Don't expect so highly from me. You'll be disappointed."

"Oh," responded Shui Xian. "But didn't my darling just told me not to go to work?"

"That's because I am capable of raising a husband," was Raelle's reply. "I have worked for years. I certainly think I can support my husband." She sounded overbearing but she really had what it took to be overbearing. What she said was not wrong at all!

Shui Xian's lips stretched into a big arc as he lowered his face to make the tip of her nose press against his own. "Honey, you're really capable. But this husband of yours also wants to be able to support you. If I don't work, how will I pay the bill for the black card I gave you?"

"You mean my pocket money is at stake here?" asked Raelle.

Shui Xian nodded his head.

"Then you should definitely go!" said Raelle firmly making Shui Xian throw his head back and laugh heartily. He couldn't control it really. When it was about supporting him, she had all the money in the world to allow him to laze around but when it came to her pocket money that actually came from his pocket, then she firmly set the rule that he had to go to work.

"I can't believe that just for pocket money, you're actually willing to part with your husband," said Shui Xian.

"Hubby, what do you want then?" asked Raelle. "When I say don't go, you're upset. When I say you should go, you're still complaining. What am I supposed to do? Why are you human so complicated? How is a person like me supposed to know what you really want me to stay? It's not like I got the rule book."

Shui Xian was even more amused by her words. He brushed the bridge of her nose gently with his eyes holding a doting light. "You're also a human."

"But I am not that complicated."

"Are you sure about that?" asked Shui Xian. "Because trust me, people around you would definitely have something to say about that statement."

"You mean, I'm complicated to you?" asked Raelle as she held his gaze in seriousness. "Is it really difficult to understand me? But if it is, you can just ask me. I definitely will tell you anything you don't understand about me. I won't hide."

Shui Xian smiled indulgently at her, "Indeed, my wife isn't complicated. She is so simple that it worries me a lot."

"Am I giving you worries?" asked Raelle and continued, "If it's like that, why don't you tell me what's the worry. And what can I do to fix it?"

"You don't want me to worry?" was Shui Xian's question.

Raelle shook her head, "No. Yue said husband and wife should always share everything. Even their worries. So, if there is a worry, you can tell me. I might be of some help since you said I'm the source of the worry. Then I'd definitely have the solution."

"Babes, there is no need for that," said Shui Xian. He sighed out heavily, "My only worry right now is that if I go to work, what will my beautiful wife do here?"

"I'll get some work done," replied Raelle.

"Did you come here to work?" asked Shui Xian in a serious and displeased tone.

"No, I came to spent time with you. But since you're busy, I can't just bother you."

Shui Xian's heart ached to see her being so reasonable and rational. What the hell! She was only in her mid-twenties! Wasn't she supposed to be a little bit carefree?

He kissed her forehead and said, "Since you left your work behind then, don't get back to it. Go out to take a look. This town might not be as prosperous as big cities but it's a beautiful place. You'll love it here."

"I'll go to look around when you have time," told Raelle. "That's why I'm gonna get some work done so that when you have time, we can go out to check out. Don't worry, since you said it's a beautiful place then I definitely want to see every single spot here."

Shui Xian's heart drummed in his chest. This silly girl wanted to go out only with him. But that's also something expected from her. Since she came all the way here for him, she definitely won't go around without him. It made him feel really happy and yet also distressed at the thought she was gonna lock herself in this room to work when he was no around. What a tragedy!

He also noticed that lately when it came to her, he always had these conflicted feelings. She always made him feel happy and also feel sad at the very same time. It seemed she was right, even he was confused about himself. 

"Also, just last night you told me there are so many things you want to show me here. So, how can I just go out on my own?"

Shui Xian sighed inwardly. He didn't know what to say to her. He hugged her tightly as he said, "Wifey, why are you making it even more difficult for me to go out to work?"

"When did I?" asked Raelle. She sounded confused. She was obviously feeling confused as well. She didn't think she said anything to make anything difficult for him. But thinking about her words always managed to hurt people, she asked, "Did I really make it difficult?" Shui Xian nodded his head. "Sorry!"

"Tsk!" Shui Xian tsked at her apology. "Babes, can you not say sorry to me so easily? I'm really not used to it. Besides, it's not like you did something that you have to say sorry for."

"But didn't you just say I made things difficult for you?"

"Aiyah! That's me being a jerk!" said Shui Xian. "Don't take my nonsense so seriously."

"My Hubby is not a jerk. Mind your words," responded Raelle making Shui Xian chuckle at her. Seriously, she was definitely paying attention to the wrong thing here!
