Master's Untamed Wife

"Ge, how is your leg?" asked Xiang Wai when she noticed how her brother had been walking more and more on his own without support in the last couple of days.

"Pretty good," answered Xiang Weimin. "I only applied the balm that mom gave me for a couple of days and it already is showing the result."

"Anything that comes from that woman is always a treasure," was Xiang Wai's comment that Xiang Weimin would never disagree with. "Well, this way you can recover sooner and get back on your duty."

"I'm in no hurry," replied Xiang Weimin shocking Xiang Wai.

"You? You of all people are not in a hurry to get back to work?" Xiang Wai was baffled. "Are you sick? Did you get a head injury? Or maybe you got possessed?"

Xiang Weimin pushed her hand away that was trying to touch his forehead as he said, "There is no need for this much drama."

Xiang Wai chuckled softly and shook her head at him, "I know why you're suddenly in no hurry to get back to work. You don't have to tell me anything."

Of course, they didn't have to say anything because they understood each other's thoughts right now very well. After all, they both had the same thing in mind right now. It wasn't surprising that neither of them was in a hurry to leave.

As soon as Xiang Wai entered the home, she found a maid pacing around frantically, "Oh, Eldest Miss, you're back!"

Xiang Wai was a bit taken aback and looked at her cautiously.

The maid smiled at her in a good manner and held up her phone saying, "Eldest Miss, your phone had been ringing for a while. I didn't attend the call. I've been waiting for you here."

Xiang Weimin looked at his sister, "You again forgot your phone?"

Xiang Wai scratched the tip of her nose and smiled sheepishly at him, "Thank you." She said to the maid and took her phone. She scrolled through the missed calls and frowned deeply.

"What's up?"

Xiang Wai shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know. It's just mom called me two times. Not just once but twice! Can you believe it?"

"Why is she calling you again?"

"How would I know?" she asked. "Usually, the call intervals exceed months but this is the first time she is reaching out to be twice in the same month. I'm almost unable to believe it."

Raelle was going to go upstairs to her room when she found these two standing at the door and asked, "Are you both trying to be door gods? Why are you standing there?"

Xiang Weimin and Xiang Wai snapped out of their thoughts and looked at her. Raelle had already stopped looking at them and turned to the maid that stood beside them, "Lily, make me something to drink. It should be cold."

The maid named Lily was left blinking at Raelle in a daze before she shuddered and bowed, "Yes, Missy! I'll get it right now!"

Raelle heard a peal of soft laughter and turned her head to look at Shui Xian who had followed her here.

"What?" she asked.

Shui Xian shook his head, "Nothing. It just looks funny how this little maid is always so jittery around you."

"In my defense, I have never even raised my voice at her," said Raelle.

Shui Xian held her hand as they ascended the stairs and nodded, "I know. My wife's voice is always at the same pitch. It just doesn't change much." But that doesn't mean your words aren't scary enough for a young maid like that.

Well, he chose to keep his thoughts to himself.

Raelle took Shui Xian to her room to freshen up after that basketball match. Since she had planned to stay here for lunch, she didn't want to waste time on making a trip next door just to take a shower and change clothes. She had everything she needed right here. And since Shui Xian married her, everything was also prepared for him accordingly.

Xiang Wai was looking at this couple until they disappeared from her view. She seemed to be lost in her thoughts when Xiang Weimin clicked his fingers right before her face and she snapped out of it. "What?"

"What are you looking at so intently?" he asked.

"Nothing," she replied. "I just think they have a very good relationship."

Xiang Weimin patted her head, "You'll also find someone. Don't think so much." He knew how much his sister yearned for love. So, he wasn't surprised by the fact that whenever Raelle and Shui Xian were around, her eyes would follow the couple. 

Once again being in Raelle's room, Shui Xian felt like he had a completely different feeling. When he was here last time, he was still curious and eager to learn more about his wife. But now, he was actually quite languid enough to even pay attention to some details in her room.

For instance, the similarities between their room and this room were just more than what one saw at first glance. He could see how the order of things that Raelle kept on the side table was exactly the same as she did over there. Even the things she kept were the same. There was still a book placed on the side table with a bookmark in it just like he sees every day in their room. The only difference would be that this book was definitely different.

But what surprised him, even more, was the big photo framed on the wall right in front of the bed. He was staring at it in a daze when Raelle emerged from the closet. He pointed at the photo and asked, "How did this come here?"

Raelle looked at their couple photo that was clicked under the wisteria flowers and said, "Didn't you send the photos to Yanyan? Do you think she was only joking when she said she'll get them framed?"

Shui Xian understood immediately that this was Mu Chenyan's doing. Well, then it wasn't so surprising.. And now this room really looked like it belonged to the two of them.
