Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 510 – How You Play

"Aren't you going to greet people?" questioned Raelle to Shhui Xian who was still just staring at her foolishly. Although he didn't have that silly smile on his face, he was still looking at her attentively. As if there was nothing else worthy of his attention in this hall apart from her. And indeed, that's exactly how he felt inside as well.

"My purpose for coming had always been you," he answered straightforwardly. "So, why should I bother wasting my time on others? Besides, my assistants are here for that and they definitely can do their job."

Soon, Cloe also came back and sat down beside Raelle. On her left was Raelle and on her right was surprisingly Soren. She raised her brow at him and asked, "Are you alone? Didn't bring your wife with you?"

Soren, who was still sulking because it felt like he got attacked again!

"Pfft!" Shui Xian couldn't help it when he heard that question from Cloe. 

Soren gave Shui Xian a look before he looked at Cloe, "Why are you so concerned about my wife?"

Cloe shrugged, "Isn't it because I wanted to meet her? Why are you getting so touchy about it?" She was quite sensitive to people's emotions because of Raelle. Her perception couldn't possibly be wrong and she could tell that Soren wasn't happy with her casual question. But did he have to have such a big reaction? She did not think so!

"She doesn't like to socialize," Soren chose to reply after taking a deep breath. 

Cloe nodded her head.

Soren thought of something and added, "However, if she knew you'd be here, I'm sure she'd have loved to join me."

Cloe's brows quirked up inquisitively.

"You're dating her brother," reminded Soren. "And she had always been particularly concerned about her brother. How could she not be interested in meeting his girlfriend?"

"Speaking of him," started Cloe. "Soren, why did you introduce your brother-in-law to me?"

Soren wasn't surprised to hear that question from Cloe. He might have been surprised if she asked such a question when they were in college. After all, back then she was a naive little girl who had too many fantasies. However, her idea of love and life had been altered by Raelle so now, it wasn't surprising that she could see things differently.

"Why?" repeated Soren with a lazy smile lingering on his lips. "Isn't he a good partner?"

Cloe peered at him, "Don't try to avoid it. You and I both know what I'm asking here."

Soren spread his palms carelessly, "But I really don't know."

Cloe leaned over to his side and said in a low voice, "The moment he looked baffled to see me at that blind date, I could already tell something was up. But now, this feeling is getting deeper. I'm certain that there is more to it. So, spill it! Why did you introduce him to me?"

"Because I thought you needed someone like him in your life," replied Soren. "Xukun isn't really a deep person. If he likes you, you'll know. If he doesn't like you, you'll know. Although he is a corporate lawyer, he isn't as scheming as any other in the same field. In fact, it's a surprise how he managed to survive and make a name for himself in this field with his temperament. However, there is a flaw. He doesn't know how to speak out his feelings. He hesitates a lot before doing something."

"Why are you telling me this?" she asked.

"Don't you think he sounds particularly like a good match for you?"

Cloe frowned at him, "Get to the point."

Soren shook his head at her, "Just give him an opportunity. He really is a good person."

Cloe rolled her eyes at him, "That's not even what I'm asking for. I can already tell what kind of a person he is. My question is… Is there a possibility that he knows me from before?"

Soren raised his brow imperceptibly.

"I have this strong feeling that he knows me," she said. "I don't know why. But when he looks at me, it reminds me of the time I used to look at my very first crush."

Soren sighed, "Why don't you ask him this question yourself? I shouldn't be the one answering this question."

Cloe caught on to something, "So, he does know me from before!" She was certain of that now even more!

"You have already confirmed that in your head," said Soren. "Don't act like it's a surprise. Anyway, as I said, if you want an answer. Ask him!"

"He avoids it," she complained. 

"Then make sure he isn't able to avoid it."

Cloe nodded her head and turned to Raelle, "Chief!"

"What?"

"How to make sure my boyfriend isn't able to avoid my questioning session?" asked Cloe. She was really someone who would run to look for advice from her boss! Even knowing Raelle didn't faze her at all. She felt like Raelle's advice could never go wrong. Didn't it work the other day when she kissed Cui Xukun? Now, she was certain she wanted him! She wouldn't have reached this decision so soon without Raelle's advice and Hyson's push!

So, she actually had blind faith in Raelle and Hyson's words as of now.

"Tie him to the bed," replied Raelle. "If he isn't able to run, how will he avoid your question?"

Soren gaped at her while Shui Xian facepalmed himself. Meanwhile, Cloe took this advice seriously and literally! She felt like this was a very good suggestion! Why didn't she think of this before? It was so simple. 

"How should I tie him up?" asked Cloe again.

"By seducing him," answered Raelle. "While he is lost in the charm of your eyes, just tie him up. He wouldn't even know what happened."

Cloe clapped her hands and gave Raelle a thumbs up, "Chief, you are awesome!"

Soren gave Shui Xian a suggestive look, "Now, I know how you play Master Xian!"
