Master's Untamed Wife

"Don't forget you have Song family," reminded Huang Shuyi. "And that's a big family."

"I have the blood of Xiang family in my veins," retorted Xiang Wai. "Not Song family." From a very young age, she never accepted herself as a part of a Song family. And that's why their opinions hardly mattered to her. She knew very well that she was part of the Xiang family. Her surname was Xiang. Not Song. So, just staying with the Song family won't make her a member of that family.

"Come, I'll treat you to lunch, my deskmate," said Huang Shuyi. His tone was quite sarcastic when he called her 'deskmate'. This idiot woman wasn't even willing to call him a friend! And it's true that if he didn't try to stay in contact with her, she'd have long drifted far away from him. So even though they talked only a handful of times in a year, it was still better than his other classmates. "Who knows when I'll see you again."

"There is also a possibility you'll never see me again," pointed out Xiang Wai. "After all, soldiers die every day."

"I don't wanna hear that," said Huang Shuyi. "Just come with me. I'll treat you to lunch."

"We could have eaten at the reception."

"Did you want to stay any longer?"

"No."

"Then stop this bullshit."

Xiang Wai felt her phone vibrating and took it out to check. Again, the message was from her brother. Her brows knitted up as she wondered what happened to him now. Did he still not enter the house? But when she opened the message, she learned that he definitely entered the house.

Ge: [Wai, grandpa is really good... And aunt is still a little crazy.]

Ge: [Grandpa misses you as well.]

Ge: [Why don't you come over?]

Ge: [They'll be very happy to see you here.]

Xiang Wai was silent when she read all these messages from him. She knew her brother wasn't lying to her just to make her go there. However, whether she'd be going to see her grandfather... She didn't know yet.

Just as they entered the restaurant, Xiang Wai stopped in her track once her eyes fell on that pair sitting beside the window.

In the corner, Shui Xian was frowning deeply right now while Raelle was going through the menu in her hands. She looked up at her husband and asked, "Didn't you win? Why are you making that face?"

Shui Xian's trance broke and his lips turned downward, "The real question is, how did I win?" Let's face it, he had no faith in his riding skills. He wasn't a skilled rider but his wife was. If someone told him nothing was fishy about it, he wouldn't be able to believe it. "Wife, did you go easy on me? Did you let me win?"

Raelle put down the menu and looked into his eyes, "Do I look like someone who would allow others to win? I have always been a winner in my life."

"Then how did I win?"

Raelle stayed silent in response to that question. It was true that his riding skills couldn't match with hers but his horse was quite energetic and had a will to win as well. But the main point was that she lost her focus during the race. Darkness spread before her eyes all of a sudden and because of that, she had to decrease the speed of her horse. 

Obviously, Raelle didn't tell him the detail of how she felt uncomfortable earlier. Especially since she wouldn't be able to tell him where and how it felt uncomfortable. And also, after drinking some water, she was feeling better. So, she didn't think there was a need to say anything.

She always avoided mentioning her discomfort. Because she could already tell Shui Xian might take it worse than Opa and Yanyan did. And she had no mood of visiting a hospital. Her sugar level must have been down and that's the explanation she gave herself.

"Mr. Husband, don't look so down. Or I'll think that you don't want to have that lunch with me."

Shui Xian's eyes widened, "What? Who said that? I am so eager to have that lunch with you. But you lost. How am I supposed to be happy?"

"If you can be sad because I lost, why can't I be happy that you won?" she questioned. "Stop looking at things negatively. The positive is that one of us won."

Shui Xian shook his head helplessly, "But your bet..."

"Are you telling me you won't write me a song without a bet?" asked Raelle.

"Huh? No way. I don't need a bet for that," said Shui Xian.

"That's the thing here. From the very beginning, our bet was quite pointless. After all, if you have once asked me out for that lunch, I'd definitely show up. And the same goes for you. If I ask you to write a song, you'll do it. We never needed that bet."

Shui Xian smiled to himself and nodded his head, "That's true. We never needed that bet." 

Raelle pushed the menu to him, "Then stop sulking and order something already. The day isn't over yet." She wouldn't be able to understand how this guy was not even happy after winning. There weren't that many people who could win against her and yet, he wasn't happy about that. 

But it was obviously because Shui Xian was all ready to lose from the beginning. Maybe he wanted to win but not to the point of seeing his wife lost. Now, he was really not feeling as exhilarated as he usually did after a win.

Raelle leaned back in her chair and crossed her arms before her chest. She lifted her head to look around and that's when she met Xiang Wai's eyes. Raelle didn't move her eyes away, instead, she continued to stare at her and the latter did the same. 

Raelle lifted her hand a little and waved at her making Xiang Wai frown deeply.
