Master's Untamed Wife

Raelle felt like she needed to re-evaluate her husband all over again. He often changed so drastically that it even made her pause for a second to process that change. When they first met, he was distant but polite. Later, he warmed up to her but he was still polite. After spending some time together, he turned into another persona of her grandfather who loved to spoil her. And lately, he loved to sweet-talk or flirt around with her.

But from last night, his personality took another turn. He became a dictator who had to enforce his laws at any cost! And his law was? His wife can't even think about anything that would harm her health.

She wasn't even sick. It was just a part of being a woman. And she knew that. However, he really thought it was serious.

Raelle had always been insensitive towards pain. It wasn't that she couldn't feel some degree of sensation caused by pain, she was just insensitive towards it. Or to put it bluntly, she was heartless! If she held no sympathy towards others' pain, you can expect even less of that attitude towards her own.

Because of her impeccable memory, Raelle could still recall the first time she got hurt. She had fallen down while trying to run in the garden to get a flower for her Yanyan and her knee was scarped at that time. When that happened, she did feel something. It was a slight burning sensation but after a few minutes, she grew used to it. As if it was part of being normal.

It was exactly at that time even Mu Chenyan noticed that her precious Elle wasn't like other kids. She didn't cry when she got hurt. In fact, she knew it from the beginning but at that time, Mu Chenyan realized how serious this matter was. She was only four but her serious expression worried Mu Chenyan to the extreme.

Later it became normal for Raelle and Mu Chenyan had to grow used to it. Since they couldn't find a cure for it, they made it a new normal just for Raelle. But it also meant that Mu Chenyan and Xiang Tianyu worrying about her like crazy, also became normal.

Even when Raelle first got her periods, she did feel some discomfort in her lower abdomen but as always she didn't complain about it and grew uncaring towards it as well.

This was the reason why Mu Chenyan believed that the most worrying thing about Raelle wasn't that she couldn't attach herself to emotions, she believed the scariest part of Raelle was her indifference towards these emotions and feelings. However, that indifference or heartlessness made her Raelle and she was still the most precious one to Mu Chenyan.

Nothing could ever change that. And there was nothing that could change it even in the future as well.

In the morning, Shui Xian really didn't let her go for a run. Even though she woke up on time, as usual, he was keeping watch over her and strictly instructed, "You can do anything that doesn't involve you getting out of the bed."

"I still have to go to the office," reminded Raelle. She had a track record of never missing a day. There was no way she'd be willing to take a day off because of something like periods.

"Let me see your schedule of the day," said Shui Xian thoughtfully as he extended his hand towards her. Raelle didn't refuse as she unlocked her iPad and opened the schedule of the day for him to see. Shui Xian went through it carefully and nodded in appreciation, "You don't have any meetings out of the office today. That means you can just sit in your office and relax."

Raelle had no interest in arguing with her husband so she nodded obediently. "But you know, I'll still have to walk to my office. I'm also gonna have to take an elevator to the top floor. You can't possibly restrict me from walking now."

"Do you really think I can't?" he asked in a challenging tone.

Raelle didn't know what came over her as she responded, "Can you?"

"Watch me!" was his reply before he turned to leave.

Since Raelle got some extra time, she chose to look through some emails and work on them. By the time she got dressed, Shui Xian was also standing prim and proper behind her. She looked at his reflection through the mirror and blinked. In response, he gave her a smile and hunched down to carry her in his arms.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm taking my wife to have breakfast," he answered. As he went downstairs, he asked the maid to bring their office bags downstairs. Then he placed her on the chair and only then he also sat down beside her.

"Hubby, do you really think I'm a fragile doll?" She stared at him who seemed to not be paying her any attention as he was busy serving food to her. "I can walk on my own. You're being excessive."

"I know I'm being excessive," agreed Shui Xian. He also found his actions quite bizarre but he couldn't stop himself at all. He couldn't help worrying about his wife who seemed to not take her own self really seriously. Everything in her life was organized and perhaps she was indeed insensitive to pain. But he wasn't. He knew what women went through during this period of time.

And the more she acted like it was just another day, the more he felt like he needed to take care of her. Even if it meant, he had to go to an extreme. He didn't mind it.

He pushed her hair away from her eyes saying, "But I'm worried about you. So, just let me be, eh? Just for the peace of my heart, let me do whatever I'm doing. Because I also have no control over what I'm doing right now. So, please, just go along with me for now."

When he put it like that, he really looked helpless as if he really had no control over what his heart was making him do. Raelle didn't feel like talking about it again. She silently ate her breakfast.

After sharing the first meal of the day together, Shui Xian settled her inside her car and then got in himself as well. Raelle gazed at him in question.

"We are not-,"

Shui Xian put a finger on her lips, "No, my darling wife, we are going in the same direction." He asked the driver to start the car and naturally settled in.

Since the time Shui Xian had asked Raelle not to read in the car, she had actually stopped doing it. So, now she could only look at the scenery. Since outside the window, the scene was the same as every day, she decided to enjoy the beautiful scenery inside her car. As it so happens, this morning was brightest inside her car because of a certain handsome husband occupying the seat next to her.

The car moved at a moderate speed and parked in the underground parking lot. Shui Xian first alighted and then helped his wife out. Raelle thought he'd leave after dropping her off her, but clearly, Master Xian's plan was different as he carried her in his arms again and walked over to the exclusive elevator.

Raelle wasn't gonna ask him but she still did, "What are you doing now?"

"Didn't you challenge me in the morning that I can't restrict you? I'm just telling you, I can do whatever I want. And you can't stop me."

"I can't stop you? Why is that?"

"Because you're my legally wedded wife!"

Raelle shut her mouth and let him be. She only told him the floor number and wrapped her arms around his neck. She even found a comfortable position to lean in his embrace. Shui Xian's smile deepened when he noticed her actions.

Since it was the exclusive elevator for President Raelle, only she was allowed to use it. However, the top floor wasn't exclusively hers. The secretarial department was just getting ready for the day when they were left wide-eyed staring at their President Raelle in a man's arms. Cloe was the one waiting outside Raelle's office and she was the one who reacted first, "Good morning, Chief and Chief's husband."

After mulling over it for a whole night, Cloe had seemed to come to terms with Raelle Xiang being Master Xian's wife. As if it was the most natural thing in the world. Besides, whether she liked it or not, the truth was before her eyes. And she wasn't blind enough to turn her eyes away from this truth.

"What do you mean by Chief's husband? He has his own identity!"

Cloe wasn't to roll her eyes at Raelle's words but she actually ended up smiling sincerely as she greeted Shui Xian again, "Good morning, Master Xian. It's a pleasant surprise seeing you here this morning."
