Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 642 Consequences

After Song Xin’ai left the room, Cloe hesitated before she asked tentatively, “Chief, do you wanna go to the hospital? Should I make all the arrangements?”

”For now, go away,” was Raelle’s response.

It wasn’t like Raelle didn’t take Song Xin’ai’s words seriously. In fact, she did take those words really seriously and her brain immediately compiled the list of abnormalities going on with her in the last two weeks. She was certain that it only started two weeks ago. No matter how oblivious she was to her health, she was still able to tell if there were some changes within her.

But originally, she didn’t want to alarm anyone. She already knew how big of a deal it’ll become once she mentioned that there was something wrong with her. Forget about Mu Chenyan or her Opa, even Shui Xian will start spinning like a top around her. Last time, he only noticed the shoe bites and looked so distressed. She didn’t want to think about what he’ll look like once she really had some kind of disease.

Maybe, she shouldn’t think that far ahead. She was young and healthy. How can she get a disease all of a sudden, out of nowhere? She might be just sick because of the changing weather. Yes! That’s the explanation! She wasn’t used to this much heat in the country she grew up in. Maybe the weather is causing all this. Yes, yes, that has to be it!

No matter how she convinced herself, she still knew she had to visit a hospital as soon as possible. And she had to do it without anyone’s knowledge as well. It was hard to do that with those shadow bodyguards lurking around her everywhere.

And let’s be honest, Raelle didn’t know how to be sneaky. Yes, she didn’t know at all. She always did everything openly and without any hesitation. How will she know how to sneak around?

How about calling Hyson and taking a quick lesson on how to sneak around? But she ruled out that idea as soon as it appeared. Not because she didn’t want to share it with Hyson but because she knew he must be sleeping already. Before coming to this banquet, she already talked to him and he told her how he had been awake since yesterday and didn’t get to sleep a wink in over 24 hours. So, he was planning on going to the hotel and sleeping!

While Raelle was thinking deeply about her next course of action, Xiang Hulin had been focused on her all this time. He just couldn’t look away. She was much more beautiful than she looked in that photo and she was much more real than what he had been hearing about her. 

It can be said that he heard a lot about Raelle from people around him. Lately, those people involved his son, Xiang Weimin, and his daughter, Xiang Wai. She was exactly like what they told him but she was also much more than that. There was that light of pride in his eyes that he couldn’t hide when he looked at her. Even if he wanted to, he couldn’t push down the corners of his lips. 

He couldn’t recall who told him but someone told him that she looked like him the most. And now that he was seeing her, he had to say, she really looked like him. But it was a good thing that she didn’t have his personality. Although she was just as thorny as he had been all his life, she was at least good with her words. Unlike him, who had never been good with words, and that made him suffer a lot of times.

Clearing his throat, he called out, “Raelle!”

”Yes?” replied Raelle.

He was a little bit disappointed that she didn’t call him father. Even though she called Song Xin’ai, her mother earlier. He pushed down that disappointment and asked, “Did Chenchen teach you that every choice has its consequences?”

Raelle nodded her head, “Of course, she did. She also said that every word spoken also has consequences.”

”And you still speak like this?” he was actually amused when he asked her. He really didn’t mind the way she talked because he didn’t find anything wrong with it. Even if she didn’t blame him or her mother for anything, he still didn’t think she was strange. Because he could see from her words that she was unique and very clear about her thoughts and ideas. And thoughts and ideas might not sit well with most people but those thoughts and ideas made her who she was – A strong and confident woman!

”Because I’m someone who can deal with the consequences,” was Raelle’s reply. “Yanyan said I should be careful of the consequences. However, I’m definitely not someone who is scared of consequences and neither do I like to hide from them at all. I might dislike trouble but that doesn’t mean I don’t know how to deal with it.”

”Ah! You’re really a Xiang,” he smiled ever so gently.

”That I sure am!” she repeated. “And so are you!”

Xiang Hulin was stunned frozen by her words. 

”Or do you think you are not one anymore?”

Xiang Hulin shook his head, “As long as I’m alive, I’ll always be a Xiang.”

”That’s good,” she said. “Don’t forget that. You’re Opa’s son, after all. You became my father later on. Don’t forget your priorities.”

Xiang Hulin bit his lips as he felt like she was trying to hint at something by saying that so he spoke his mind to her, “I had the plan to go and see my father. But he’ll not like to see me again.”

”Does that mean, you’re giving up?”

”He is my father,” replied Xiang Hulin. “He has the right to be angry with me. I don’t have the right to give up on him.”

”Then you might as well go to see your father,” said Raelle straightforwardly. “Don’t dilly dally.”

”But he…” He wanted to say something but in the end, he nodded his head obediently. “You’re right. Just because I’m scared of him, I should stop dilly-dallying already. After all, my original purpose of coming here was to see him.”
