Master's Untamed Wife

Shui Xian's work efficiency seemed to have increased since yesterday just because his wife was around. And even though he was keeping a cold exterior as always, anyone could tell that he was actually in a good mood.

And because of his good mood, it was easier to work with him. As soon as he was done with his work, he instantly ran back to find his wife. After all, he promised to go out with her today. He definitely was gonna keep his promise.

When Shui Xian came back, Raelle had been waiting for him. She was clad in plain jeans and a white top. Her hair was tied in a high ponytail giving her a youthful feeling. But then again, she wasn't that old either. She was barely in her mid-twenties.

Shui Xian took off his suit jacket and tie. He rolled the sleeves of his shirt a little and extended his hand towards his wife, "Mademoiselle, may I have the honor of taking you out on a date?"

Raelle stared at his handsome face for a minute longer before her hand slipped into his, "Yes, you may."

Shui Xian grinned at her and lifted her hand to drop a kiss on her fingers before wrapping his hand around hers completely enveloping her. Shui Xian happily took her out for the date he promised her. First, he took her to a restaurant to have lunch with her.

Although there wasn't anything particularly special about this lunch, it still left a sweet taste in Shui Xian's mouth. How could it not? Wasn't it special enough that he was having lunch with his wife in person after over two weeks? He believed it was special enough.

In fact, Shui Xian was one of those hopeless romantics who would find anything special. He'd give meaning to even the smallest of moments because that's just how he was. Since his feelings tend to the extreme point, he never even tried to hide his feelings.

Both of them had a hearty meal in the restaurant before Raelle asked him, "Where are we going next?"

"Anywhere you want to go," he answered as he held her hand in his own again.

Raelle had become so used to having her hand intertwined with his that it had become natural now. She didn't even realize this change herself. But one thing was certain, she had become comfortable with this clingy husband of hers even without noticing it herself.

"This is my first time here," reminded Raelle.

Shui Xian smiled at her, "Then you can just follow my lead."

"That I can do," was her response which made the arc of Shui Xian's lips get bigger. He was really easily satisfied. Or at least, he was when it came to Raelle.

For the rest of the people, it was difficult to please Master Xian but it was just a matter of one word for Raelle Xiang. After all, Master Xian hated it when people tried to please him but it was different for his wife who unknowingly ended up pleasing him every single time.

Shui Xian was driving the car himself with a clear destination in his mind. From the moment he came here, he had been adding places to his list. The places that he wanted to show Raelle. How could he appreciate the beauty of his surroundings if the beauty of his life wasn't right by his side?

"How was your day?" asked Shui Xian as a way to start a small talk. It wasn't really needed but he felt the urge to hear her voice. He wanted to just listen to her talking. It didn't matter what she said.

"Nothing really special," answered Raelle. "I looked through the small study and found some books that I have never seen before. However, I couldn't read those books since I couldn't understand the language. I'll have to look it up."

"Are you gonna learn a new language now?" asked Shui Xian.

"Yes," she told him.

Shui Xian shook his head but he didn't find it as a surprise. It was something he'd expect from his dear wife. Her pursuit in life was knowledge and he already figured it out. It was her stubborn obsession to learn more and more but that's what made her who she was. And he liked the way she was.

Remembering how Shui Xian had told her to pay attention to things around her apart from books, Raelle added, "But that's not all I did. Since I couldn't possibly understand that language for now anyway. So, I made phone calls to everyone."

"Phone calls?" Shui Xian's brow quirked up.

"Yes," replied Raelle. "I called Opa and talked to Yanyan and Yue as well. I also Hyson. In fact, I also called Cloe to wish her the best of luck." Even before Shui Xian could ask, she went on, "Cloe is going on a blind date today. That's why I called her specifically. I certainly know how troublesome blind dates can get. So, I thought I should cheer her up."

Shui Xian didn't know whether to laugh or to cry when he was reminded of Raelle's 'blind dates.' The number of those blind dates was high. He really found it a miracle that not even one of those blind dates succeeded. He took a peek at his wife's side profile from his peripheral vision and wondered, how blind those blind dates actually were to not appreciate this gorgeous woman?

But on the bright side, it was good that all those blind dates were actually blind. How else would he have picked up this precious diamond? It wasn't the first time that he thought this way and it certainly wasn't going to be the last time. Every single time he'd be reminded of those blind dates, he'd call them blind for not knowing the true value of his wife.

And then he'd sigh in relief that he actually chose to listen to his father in a rare moment of acceptance.
