Master's Untamed Wife

1059 Work Of Charms

Raelle was actually not expecting to see this person here. Although she had the thought of finding this person, she actually didn’t think she’d find this person without looking.

She watched as Young Master Ru patted his shirt right where Xia Zhao had held it as if he had sullied his shirt. After doing so, he came to sit beside Raelle on the high stool. In fact, he left the stool right beside Raelle and took a seat on the next one.

All these movements fell into Raelle’s eyes and she looked at it in interest.

“Thank you for the pills,” said Raelle to Young Master Ru.

Ru glanced at her, “Pleasure is all mine to help.”

“Uncle Zhao, I thought you were alone at home.”

Xia Zhao was stirring the soup as he looked at Raelle. “I was.” He then looked over at Ru as he added, “Then the cat you talked about dropped by.”

Raelle took the hint and recalled they heard some noise and she had thought it was because of a cat or wind. So, that was because of this person?

Seeing how Raelle looked at him, Ru cleared his throat, “What cat? Have you ever seen a cat like this young master?”

.....

“Yes,” replied Xia Zhao. “You have green eyes, you’re narcissistic, and you are always jumping around through the walls. You love to play the game of cat and mouse with people. What else? Oh, you love fish.”

Ru stared at him, “Uncle, fish is not the only thing I love.”

“You jumped in through the window?” asked Raelle as she picked up something from their conversation.

While Ru avoided her eyes, Xia Zhao chuckled, “Our Young Master Ru doesn’t know how to walk in through the doors.”

“Hey, this Young Master still knows how to make a grand entrance.” Then he stared at Xia Zhao, “Uncle, I left my peach wine with you. I couldn’t find it just now. Where did you place it?”

Xia Zhao’s hands paused and then said, “It’s gone.”

Ru jumped up from his seat, “What did you say?”

“A good friend’s daughter likes good wine. She liked the peach wine, so I offered it to her.”

“You offered my wine? Mine?!”

“It’s not like you lack it,” commented Xia Zhao.

“That doesn’t mean you can take my things.”

“Yes, it’s not good to take other people’s things without their permission,” added Raelle in agreement with Ru.

Both the uncle and nephew looked at Raelle.

“See? Even a kid knows better than you!” was Ru’s argument.

“You’re calling the wrong person a kid,” said Xia Zhao. “By the way, since you’re here, why don’t you take Raelle’s pulse again? Just to confirm that your pills worked.”

“Look at her,” said Ru. “Her complexion alone is enough to tell you that she is fine. Are you really doubting this young master’s ability?”

“There is no harm in confirming it,” argued Xia Zhao.

Ru looked at Raelle who actually extended her wrist towards him without hesitation. Ru’s brow quirked up a little before he pulled out a silk handkerchief as last time and placed it on Raelle’s wrist before taking her pulse.

“She is as good as new,” was what he said after his hand left her wrist.

“do you always carry that handkerchief with you?” asked Raelle. “I thought people don’t do that anymore. Especially the ones like yours with embroidery on the corners. Didn’t that only happen in the last century or something?”

Ru looked at the white silk handkerchief in his hands and said, “Then you can say our clan is still living in the last century.”

“Don’t lie to her so blatantly,” said Xia Zhao.

Ru sighed, “I mean to say, our clan has traditions that are old-fashioned. There are certain things in our roots we can’t let go of.” He took a pause and added, “By the way, why are you here?” Then he looked at Xia Zhao, “Don’t tell me, Uncle you have gotten smarter and have finally figured it out that to get your girl, you need to get the people she cares about on your side.”

“Ru, talking about relationships, doesn’t really suit you,” commented Xia Zhao.

“Actually, I came to just see Uncle Zhao,” said Raelle.

“What’s there to see? Except for his face, there is nothing to see.

“What a surprise then,” started Raelle. “I happen to like good-looking people.”

Ru tsked at that. “Then you’re at the right place. Our family’s genes are still very strong.”

“I can see,” said Raelle. “Since I met you here, I’d like to invite you to my engagement party.”

“When is it?” asked Ru.

“In two days,” answered Raelle.

Ru thought about something in silence for a while before his green eyes glanced at Xia Zhao and a smirk appeared on that gorgeous face, “Your aunt would definitely be there, right?”

“Yes,” replied Raelle. “How can Yanyan not be there?”

“Then this young master will come.”

Xia Zhao looked up at Ru. How could he not know his nephew’s thoughts? How could Ru even be interested in parties?

“Then I’ll wait for you,” said Raelle. “My Opa will be very happy to see you.”

“Hmmm... I need to tell Papa and grandpa as well that I’d seeing Xiang Tianyu. Anyway, congratulations!”

“You’re one of the few rare perople who didn’t say that I’m already married why am I even getting engaged now,” Raelle mentioned to him.

Ru shrugged, “It’s your life. Who said you can’t get engaged after getting married? It’s your relationship, you make the rules. Someone like me who has always broken the rules in life, I can only say, you go, girl!”

Xia Zhao rolled his eyes at those words. But also had a slight smile on his lips. He could see that Raelle was very comfortable talking to Ru. He wasn’t surprised though. Even though Young Master Ru always kept people at a distance, Xia Zhao also knew he was capable of making people feel at ease around him. It was just one of his charms.

And this charm certainly worked on Raelle the very first time they met.
