Chapter 566 - Princess & Knight
It could be seen easily that Raelle didn't take meeting Tang Hebe seriously. She'd never dwell over such a thing.
Shui Xian was about to go look for her when she came back and took back the two cups from Anna and Hailey. "I bought you something to drink."
Shui Xian looked at the two drinks in her hands and asked, "Which one is mine?"
"You can just take whichever one you want," she told him.
Shui Xian took the iced coffee and took a sip saying, "Oh, it's sweet just like you."
"I didn't make it," said Raelle. "So, you don't have to compliment me."
"But everything my wife touches turn sweeter," he gushed shamelessly. Thinking of something, he frowned and asked, "What took you so long though?"
"Nothing," replied Raelle as she took a sip of her own drink. "I just ran into Miss Tang Hebe. That's why it took longer than expected."
Shui Xian's eyebrows screwed together, "Tang Hebe?"
"Hm," she responded. "It's the same one you have in mind."
"Oh," was all he said.
Raelle noticed his pretty bland response and asked, "Aren't you curious about what she said to me?"
"Nope," was his answer.
"Oh? Then what if she told me how much of a cruel person you are, who tortured her, and in the end, she had no other choice but to let go of her first love?" Raelle took a pause and added, "Or what if she told me how I've ruined everything by marrying you since she had never stopped loving you and wanted to get back into your life?"
"She said nothing of that sort to you," Shui Xian pinched her cheek lovingly. "Stop using these plotlines on me. It's my life. Not a novel. How dramatic can it possibly be?"
"Hyson says life is pretty dramatic," said Raelle. She looked at him and asked, "So, you have so much trust in her that you really believe she didn't say anything bad about you?"
Shui Xian shook his head, "She can say all the bad things she wants. I won't stop her. But I have faith in my wife. My darling wife already knows me well to know what to believe and what not to believe. And the fact that you always have your opinions in life is what I adore about you. Even if I do something wrong, I'm sure you'd first come to me to ask about it rather than blindly following what others said."
"My Opa used to say, 'My Yenay isn't born to be a follower.' And I agree with that," she told him.
Shui Xian rubbed her head and smiled at her, "Indeed, you're the Queen. People should follow you. You have no reason to follow anyone."
"But I can follow you," said Raelle as she held his arm. "Since you're my King."
Shui Xian pressed his lips together and gave her a helpless look. "It's getting too sweet. But I love it." He knew she had intentionally mentioned that because of the phone covers that he designed for them. "But at the end of the day, I'm also my Queen's loyal follower. I'll go wherever you want me to."
Thinking of something, she pulled out her phone and showed the photos that she just received from Hyson to Shui Xian. "Come, I'll show you my ranch."
Shui Xian took her to sit down and look at the photos. The green grassland was a sight to see. Even the equestrian club they were at earlier couldn't compare to this. And rather than a specific track, it seemed that the ranch was like a free-range space where they could gallop on horses however they wanted to.
"This is my horse," Raelle showed him the photo of her horse. Shui Xian looked at the pure white horse with a gorgeous mane and was impressed.
"What's its name?"
"Knight," answered Raelle. Then she moved to another picture and said, "This belongs to Hyson. It's called Princess."
Shui Xian looked at that black and white horse and couldn't help asking, "Isn't this a stallion?"
"It is," Raelle confirmed it for him. "But don't ask why Hyson gave him favorite horse a feminine name. According to him, since he was called the little prince, he should have a little princess."
Shui Xian pursed his lips to hold back his laughter. He shouldn't even be surprised by this. You could expect everything and anything from Hyson. He was just that kind of a goofball.
"Let me guess, he is the one who named your mare as a 'Knight'?"
Raelle nodded her head, "Yup."
"Aiyo, he really is a kid. It worries me now," he couldn't help sighing. "It seems I have to take better care of him in the future."
Raelle looked at him, "Why do you have to take care of him?"
"Because I want to," he replied. But he didn't tell her that it was because he didn't want her to worry about Hyson. Although it didn't seem like Raelle did, however, by now he knew her way of worrying about him was different.
"Is he doing well there?" he asked her in concern.
"He only looks delicate," said Raelle. "You should really not worry about him. It's true that he likes to whine but he only does to me. You'd never see him complaining about anything to even Yue."
"He is a filial son," commented Shui Xian. "He just doesn't want to worry his mother. But with you, he feels like you're just another part of him and he has to share everything even if it's just a mosquito bite, he has to let you know."
Shui Xian suddenly felt his phone vibrate and found that Hyson sent him something as well. He opened the message and was stunned for a moment. In the photo, Raelle stood beside her white horse clas in her white pants and red shirt with those black ankle boots. Her hair was in a braid as she held a whip and a hat. She wasn't looking at the camera, instead, her attention was all on the horse.
Shui Xian had a silly smile on his face when he realized how Raelle and her horse had the same temperament. Both looked noble and both looked superior!
Hyson: [No need for a thank you!]
Shui Xian chuckled to himself. Silly kid! Really, Hyson was nothing but a silly kid!
