Master's Untamed Wife

After disconnecting the call, Shui Xian looked towards the door of the study once again. He threw his phone on the sofa carelessly before standing up.

Standing before the closed door of the study, Shui Xian was lost in thoughts. Even though originally this was his working space, he still knocked on the door before pushing the door open.

Inside the study, Raelle was sitting on the recliner that was placed beside the window. She had been focused on studying the data on her laptop but still lifted her eyes to look at Shui Xian who stepped inside.

"Are you done with the phone call?" she questioned.

"Hmm..." Shui Xian hummed in reply softly. "You knew?"

Raelle's fingers stopped, she saved the file and closed the lid of the laptop. As she put the laptop on the table beside her, she faced Shui Xian and answered, "If you're referring to Director Amiah Jade being your sister, Shui Sying. Then... Yes! I do know about that."

"Since when?"

"Bà showed me a family photo of yours a few days before leaving."

Shui Xian nodded his head. "Did he tell you the whole situation?"

"No," she answered while shaking her head. "He just told me that Shui Sying left home and never came back. She wanted to have nothing to do with him. And he also told me that she changed her name and currently is working as a director."

Shui Xian didn't know how to continue this conversation. He really didn't know what else to say.

"Do you want to help her?" Raelle questioned. "She certainly called to ask for your help. Didn't she?"

This was the question Shui Xian had a clear answer for. "I won't be helping her this time around."

Raelle looked into his eyes, "That's good. I won't like to fight with my husband."

"Besides, even if I do agree to fight. I'd lose for sure."

"Are you underestimating yourself, Hubby?"

Shui Xian shook his head, "No. I'm just being realistic right now. I'm well aware of President Raelle's power. Only a fool would want to get into a head-on fight with President Raelle. I'm a cautious person. I won't be underestimating my wife's capabilities."

Shui Xian wasn't being polite or humble around her. He did know what she was capable of. She had been working for almost a decade now. Her roots were too deep. He could stand against her but whether he'd win or not was a completely different matter.

"I can't let this matter go," said Raelle. "Whether your sister is directly involved or indirectly involved, I won't let this go." She took a pause before adding, "In fact, your sister should be glad I'm the one taking action this time. If Yanyan learned about this matter, I can't guarantee you what will happen."

Shui Xian stepped up to her side. Placing a hand on her head, he said, "Last time I told you, she needs to learn the consequences of her words. This time she should learn the consequences of her actions as well. I really don't plan on helping her."

"But you had been doing it," replied Raelle. "Although there is no doubt that she is a talented person, however, she is notorious for her temper. People like her can offend people at every step. The reason she had been having a smooth sailing is because of you. You had been helping her behind the scenes."

"Are you trying to tell me that I'm the reason why she is like this?"

"Not exactly but your help made her feel like she can do everything and get away with it. If you hadn't done that, by now she would have learned that the world we live in is actually a cruel place."

Shui Xian couldn't bring himself to deny her words. He indeed did help his sister on several occasions. And saved her from a lot of scheming as well. While he thought he was helping her, in fact, he wasn't really doing much help. Because of his actions, she grew unrestrained and started to think that she could do whatever she wanted.

"Well, I didn't have you before in my life to tell me what I am doing wrong," said Shui Xian.

"Now, it's my fault?"

"Isn't it? Who told you to make an entry so late in my life?" retorted Shui Xian playfully.

"But I..." Raelle opened her mouth but didn't continue. Shui Xian raised his brow at her incredulously. "I made the entry at the right time. If I came earlier, you wouldn't even have a place for me in your life."

Shui Xian rubbed his temple, not wanting to respond to that. She really knew how to mess with him. He crouched down beside her and held her hands as he looked up at her face, "Do you know? Bà usually never took interest in my personal life. But in my life, he had asked me to marry twice." Raelle didn't know why he was telling her this at this time but she continued to listen carefully, "Strangely enough, both times he wanted me to marry you."

"Me?" Raelle pointed at herself and Shui Xian nodded in reply. "When was the first time?"

"When I was in college," replied Shui Xian.

"How old was I back then?"

"Probably 16 or 17," answered Shui Xian.

Raelle nodded her head, "That was the time I joined the company. It's been a long time since then." She held Shui Xian's gaze and went on, "Then that means, you're the one at fault for my late entry into your life. If you had given me a chance earlier, we wouldn't be so late."

So, in the end, she managed to put the whole blame on his head and Shui Xian was left gaping at her in disbelief. Eight out of ten times he had no way to refute her words and he was getting used to it as well. But that didn't mean he liked this feeling at all!
