Master's Untamed Wife

From her words, he gathered another thing about her. She didn't actually associate the moments with happiness. She associated happiness with just a few people in her life. Either it was her grandfather, Mu Chenyan, or her best friend. All of those people were very special to her and that's why no matter what they did, she'd associate the meaning of happiness with them.

The irony was she didn't even understand it herself.

Even after ten minutes, Raelle was still looking at the credit card in her hands. There was definitely no change in her expressions but Shui Xian found this scene too cute.

"You can put it away now," he said.

Raelle shifted her eyes away from the card and said, "Oh, I should say thank you for this, right?"

Shui Xian didn't think there was a need for that but for some reason, he asked, "How are you going to say thank you?"

Raelle blinked at him blankly before she moved over to his side of the bed and caught him by surprise when she kissed him on his forehead. It was exactly how he had done it earlier during dinner. Softly and gently her lips had made contact with his skin.

"Is that enough to say thank you?" he arched his brow at her as the corner of his lips curved up in a lop-sided grin.

"Do you have time tomorrow after work?" she inquired.

"I'm planning on giving all my time to my wife," he replied. "Why? What are you up to now?"

"Let's go shopping tomorrow," she said. "To say my thank you properly, I'll buy you whatever you want with my new credit card." She even showed him the card that was still in her hand.

Shui Xian bit his lip before saying, "So, you're going to buy me a gift with the card I gave you?"

"You said it's mine," she retorted. "I'm allowed to do whatever I want to do with it. But if you don't like the offer..."

"I like it," he hurriedly spoke out before she could change her mind. "I'll take the offer."

Raelle clicked her fingers saying, "That's more like it."

Shui Xian smiled to himself watching her as she put the credit card carefully in her cardholder before coming back to the bed.

"Wifey..."

"Yes, hubby!"

Shui Xian pursed his lips and almost forgot what he wanted to say. It really felt different every time she called him 'Hubby'. He cleared his throat before asking, "Earlier you were playing games with my father."

"Yeah, what about it?"

"You seemed quite skilled."

"That's because I've played that game before," she answered.

Shui Xian's brows raised up in surprise, "Do you have time to play games?"

"I don't," she replied honestly. "But Yanyan said games help us in relaxing. Also, she added, playing games is better than playing with someone's emotions. Although I don't know what she meant by that, I'd still follow her. Whenever. Wherever. However. I'd just follow her."

"I just didn't think a book fanatic like you would actually have any interest in games. It really is a surprise." He honestly thought this way. He had seen how much she preferred to spend her time with her books, it was shocking that she'd actually play games as well.

"Well, although I don't play games on daily basis, it's not like I don't play at all. But I don't play alone and usually, the one to join me in my gaming adventure is my best friend."

"I heard a lot about this best friend," started Shui Xian. "When are you introducing us to each other?"

"He said there is no need for introduction," she told him. "After all, who doesn't know Master Xian around here?"

"But I don't know him," he replied. "So how about you call him out tomorrow? After we are done shopping, he can join us for dinner." He suggested thoughtfully. Since he had already met the two special people in her life, he had been very curious about the third one. To learn all about her, he needed to meet everyone close to her.

Raelle thought about it before answering, "If he shows up, I'll have to book the whole restaurant!"

"Huh? Why?" Shui Xian asked in confusion.

"He is a celebrity. And he doesn't want to be seen anywhere with me," she said straightforwardly. "Apparently, my presence is like that dark cloud that overshadows the beauty of a moon-like him." Shui Xian pursed his lips as she went on, "Those are his words." Taking a brief pause to think she added, "He had his mind all over the place today, so I really should ask him to come out for dinner tomorrow."

"Yes, you should," replied Shui Xian. He was even more eager to meet this best friend now.

Raelle nodded her head and took her phone to make a call. Obviously, the other person already had his phone in his hands so he picked up almost instantly, "Is it my lucky day or what? You're calling me for the second time on the same day! What an honor!"

"Are you free tomorrow?" Raelle got straight to the point. No, hi or hello was needed neither did she felt the need to comment on his nonsensical words.

"That depends on what do you have in mind?" replied Hyson.

"Let's eat dinner together," she told him.

"I've been contemplating for an hour whether to ask you to come online so that we can play together because I didn't want to take up your time with your husband and here you are telling me to go out to eat dinner with you? Shouldn't you be eating out with him?"

"If you hadn't started your lecture I was about to tell you that my hubby will be joining us."

"Oh..." was all that Hyson responded with. It took him a moment before he asked, "Wait! Are you telling me I'm about to have dinner with Master Xian? As in the real Master Xian? In flesh and blood?"

"Is there a fake Master Xian as well?" she retorted.

"Aiya! Innocent kids like you know nothing of this world's devious ways."

Hearing him lamenting, Raelle was quiet for a minute before she said, "I'll send you the address, just be there on time."

And she hung up, leaving Hyson to stare at his phone screen as he said to himself, "Were you asking me out for dinner? Or ordering me around?" Soon, he shook his head and went on, "I shouldn't expect you to know the difference between the two."
