Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 698 Define Jealousy

”I’ll see you later, Bebe,” said Cui Xukun. Cloe coughed from his side and he immediately changed his words, “Just take care of yourself, Hebe. Don’t think so much.”

”You’ll not leave again, right?” asked Tang Hebe.

Cui Xukun smiled at her, “Don’t worry. I’m here. You just get well soon and then I’ll take you out for a meal as my apology.”

”One meal won’t cut it,” she told him.

He maintained his smile as he continued, “Well, then I’ll feed you until you forgive me.”

Tang Hebe seemed to be placated by those words and Cui Xukun left with Cloe who eyed him. He looked at her sheepishly, “You don’t have to think so much.”

”Who said I am?” retorted Cloe in amusement as she walked away.

Meanwhile, when Shui Xian pulled Raelle out, he brought her straight to her ward and held her in his embrace. With his chin placed on her head, he said, “I’m sorry.”

”What are you apologizing for?” she asked.

”It’s all because of me that you have to go through this strange situation,” said Shui Xian.

Raelle pinched his waist making him gape at her in surprise, “I just realized, Mr. Husband, you seem to love blaming yourself. But I don’t like seeing you taking all the blame. This situation might not be the best, but isn’t it enough that we are together? Would you have given up if I was the one who had been hit by that flower pot and had amnesia?”

”How is that possible? I’d pester you even more,” he said. “I realized, as long as I pester you enough, I can worm my way in your life.”

”That’s your wishful thinking,” said Raelle. “It’s pestering that got you into my life. It’s because I gave you the permission to enter my life.”

”Yes, yes, I understand,” Shui Xian immediately chose to agree with anything and everything she had to say. Well, he had nothing to say anyway. She was always right. He held her face into his hands and said, “But you have to keep in mind, I, Shui Xian only have one wife. And that wife is you. Raelle Xiang. My Mrs. Shui. Master Xian’s Madam Raelle. The matriarch of our Shui family. Xian’s love.”

”Doesn’t that word matriarch makes me sound very old?” asked Raelle after he said such romantic words making him speechless. Argh! He should really get used to it!

Helplessly squishing her cheeks he said, “How is that possible? It represents your status in my life!”

”I don’t want any status,” said Raelle. “I’m fine with just being your wife.”

Shui Xian instantly felt so sweet in his heart that he forgot all the bitterness he just felt facing Tang Hebe. He couldn’t stand that bitterness and ran away. But this sweetness was more than welcomed. No, he was willing to drown in this sweetness and forget everything else.

Shui Xian kissed her eyebrows, then he kissed her eyes, moved down to kiss her cheeks, and kissed the corner of her lips before planting a firm kiss on her lips. She tasted like medicine but he didn’t give a damn about it. He just wanted to kiss her right now and tell her through his actions that she was his wife. 

No one could possibly change that. Even he felt unbearable when Tang Hebe called him her husband. How could he let his Raelle get wronged? Yes, he couldn’t deny the fact that he was once her husband but that chapter of life was already closed now. He didn’t wish to open it again and re-read the same tragic story.

”Wifey,” his voice was low as he pulled away from the kiss. “I can’t keep up with this. Shall we not play along anymore? It makes me uncomfortable when she looks at me and calls me Ah-Xian.”

”Isn’t that how she acted back then?” asked Raelle.

”That’s the reason why it’s so unbearable,” he told her. “I can’t look at her and pretend as if nothing happened between us when I clearly remember everything.”

”Let’s wait and see how her condition is,” said Raelle. “Then we’ll see what to do.”

”And if her condition doesn’t improve?” asked Shui Xian. “Do you want me to keep pretending?”

”Who said that?” was Raelle’s response. “There is only so much I’ll do to repay her debt of saving my life. But that doesn’t involve offering my husband. Till now the situation isn’t that serious, so I’m okay with going along with her. But if she tried to push her luck then I’m not a decoration either.”

Shui Xian chuckled at her words and pinched her nose.

”What are you laughing at?”

”I’m just happy,” he told her honestly.

”To see how much your ex-wife loves you even now?”

Shui Xian glared at her and bit her cheek, “Don’t talk nonsense! I’m happy because, in this situation, my wife has learned to use threats.”

”I always knew how to threat,” said Raelle.

”Yes, you did,” answered Shui Xian while smiling at her. “Baby, are you jealous?”

”Define jealousy,” asked Raelle. “If wanting to tear apart Tang Hebe when she called you her husband is jealousy then yes, I’m very jealous.”

Shui Xian’s heartbeat sped up when he heard how she honestly accepted that she was jealous. It meant she loved him. She loved him so much that perhaps she didn’t even know it herself. Oh, he was so loved that he was grinning like a fool once again.

The smile that he couldn’t even fake in front of Tang Hebe earlier was now plastered permanently on his face. He couldn’t get rid of this smile as long as he looked at Raelle. Sigh! His wife was so adorable. What to do? He just loved her so damn much!

”It’s okay to be jealous,” he said. “I also get jealous when you don’t pay attention to me.”

”There are times when I don’t pay attention to you?” asked Raelle. “Is something wrong with my brain? How can I ignore such a handsome husband?”

Shui Xian nodded at her shamelessly, “Right? How can you ignore such a handsome husband?”

”It seems I have to reflect on myself,” said Raelle.

He hugged her waist as he said, “It’s okay. You can learn from this and don’t do it again. Then I’ll be fine.”
