Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 230 - Bottom Line



Families are strange. A person comes into your life and makes you feel like they had been here from the beginning. And some make you feel like a stranger even though you've spent years with them.

Raelle's presence was something similar to both Shui Koshing and Shui Xian. When did she manage to naturally find her place in their small family, even they both couldn't figure it out. Even his own daughter never made him feel this way as Raelle did. And the more he felt this way, the more Shui Koshing believed that it was the right decision to get her married to Shui Xian.

He didn't even realize when or how times passed while talking to Raelle and Shui Xian. He knew his son was becoming more talkative with her around. And Shui Koshing loved every single change in Shui Xian. No matter how small the change was, he knew it was enough to bring out his son from the abyss he had willingly jumped into back then.

Meanwhile, Shui Xian might not know what his father was thinking but his own thoughts weren't much different either. He loved these interactions with his family. Although he wished his sister was a part of it, however, he was far from trying to actively pull her in when she adamantly refused to be a part of this family.

After the phone call with Shui Koshing, Shui Xian was still insisting on that 'battle.'

"Don't try to go back on your words," said Shui Xian.

Raelle gave him a look, "I have my own principals. Of course, I won't go back on my words."

Shui Xian smiled at her in approval before they sat down to play the game named, 'Battle of Demons and Gods.' The game was adapted from a novel. One could play as different races, for instance, one could be a God, a Saint, a Demon, Human, Ghost, Spirit Beasts, etc.

Shui Xian's character happened to be God and quite surprisingly he was actually someone who topped the ranking list of the players. Seeing this, Raelle gave him another look, "Hubby, isn't this abuse of power?"

Shui Xian gave her an incredulous look, "How so?"

"The game is developed by your company," reminded Raelle patiently.

Shui Xian shrugged his shoulders, "Not like I was involved in the creating process. I have no cheats either. I was just given an account to check the game when it was launched. Whenever I was free, I just played it to refresh myself. This can't count as an abuse of power."

"If you say so," replied Raelle.

When Shui Xian checked her ranking, he was rather taken by surprise for some reason. Earlier, the topic of this game came out of the blue and when he learned that she knew about the game and even had an account, he was even more surprised but now seeing her ranking he had no words at all.

"Stop focusing on me. Would you like to explain to me how come you're at no 3 on the ranking list. I don't think you play games to refresh yourself."

Raelle nodded her head, "That's true. I usually don't play unless Hyson whine to make me play. I bought one of the accounts in the top 10 when Hyson asked me to join the game."

Shui Xian's lips twitched at her, 'bought one of the top 10 accounts.' How noble of her!

"Now, that's certainly an abuse of power!" he retorted.

Raelle stared blankly at him, "How so? I have money. I can buy it. How is it counted as abuse of power?"

Shui Xian's lips parted but nothing came out of it. She was right actually. She had the means to get the account and she did it rightfully. It's not like she stole it. But even after convincing himself with these words, he didn't know why something didn't feel right about it.

He sighed out and put on his headphone saying, "I just came to realize that once it's about Hyson, your bottom line goes way low."

"What do you mean?"

"It means, you'll even do things you don't like to do as long as he is the one asking you to do it."

Raelle couldn't refute those words. She indeed had done way too many things which weren't like her when it came to Hyson. Let's just take playing video games and going to movies as two examples. Someone like Raelle wouldn't usually do either, but she had played different video games because of Hyson and she had gone to plenty of movies as well. Now that was different that she always dragged Hyson to watch a horror movie just to make him give up on taking her out to movies.

However, they both never gave up. Neither Hyson stopped taking her out to movies, nor did she stop always choosing a horror movie for him. Even if a horror movie wasn't playing, she'd pay the cinema to screen one just for the two of them.

While both husband and wife took their game characters to the battle arena for a duel, Shui Xian suggested, "Wifey, how about we stay at the apartment for the next couple of days. The one that Bà prepared as our marriage house."

"Okay," agreed Raelle making Shui Xian feel surprised that she agreed without any questions.

Since she didn't ask, he decided to tell her on his own accord, "I think it's better to stay there since it's closer to both our workplaces. Besides, the hospital where Yue Fai is staying is only a five-minute drive from there."

"Got it," replied Raelle. "Let's head there after visiting Hyson in the morning."

"That's exactly what I was thinking," said Shui Xian. "You just take your work stuff with you, everything else is already arranged there." He took a pause before asking, "You didn't ask Cloe to be with Yue Fai tonight, right?"

"Why would I? Doesn't she have her own life?" retorted Raelle. "Opa is staying with Hyson. Why would he need anyone else?"

"That's good," was all that Shui Xian said.
