Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 177 - Let Us Explore

"Where is Bà?" inquired Raelle as she looked at Shui Xian.

"I was with you the whole time, how would I know?" he retorted while looking around the house. He called for a maid and asked her.

"Elder Master has gone out for a walk," answered the maid.

"There you have it. Now, you know where he is," said Shui Xian as he waved off the maid to leave. He dragged her along towards the sitting area. He sat down and pulled her on his legs.

"What are you doing?"

"Weren't we gonna wait for Bà?"

"Yes, we were."

"Then that's exactly what we are doing!"

While his lips played around the back of her neck while his fingers fiddled with her hair, Raelle was completely not paying any attention to him. She rummaged out her phone to scroll through the news of the day.

"Ah! My night blindness is acting up again!"

Both Raelle and Shui Xian turned their heads to look towards Shui Koshing who just came back but instantly turned around acting like he didn't see anything.

Shui Xian's lips twitched at his father's reaction, "Bà, it's not even night yet. It's only 6 in the evening, I don't think your night blindness can act up so early."

"It's my night blindness, what do you know?" Shui Koshing stared at his son, in a displeased manner.

Raelle conveniently chose to ignore whatever was going on between this father-son pair and waved her hand at Shui Koshing, "Welcome back home, Bà! I brought you something."

Shui Koshing instantly ran over and sat down on the armchair. "I'm already over the moon knowing that you actually remembered me while you went out playing. But since you have brought me something, I won't refuse. What is it?"

"Have some patience, Bà," said Shui Xian. "You'll only be able to eat is after dinner."

"Dear son, do you need a reminder?"

"Of what?"

"I'm your father! Stop trying to act like my father instead!"

Shui Xian shrugged his shoulders, "First, you should stop acting like a kid."

"How do you know I'm acting like a kid? You don't even have a kid of your own yet."

*Ring!*

Raelle tapped Shui Xian's hand that was around her waist saying, "Let go. I need to take this call."

Shui Xian reluctantly let her get out of his arms and watched her moving to a quiet corner. Shui Koshing leaned over and whispered, "Son, have you talked to her?"

"About what?" asked Shui Xian with knitted brows.

"About your future," replied Shui Koshing.

"If by future, you mean to say kids, then no! She is so young."

Shui Koshing snorted at his son, "Stop using her name. Clearly, it's you who don't want to have kids."

"If you know it, why are you bringing it up?" was Shui Xian's response. "She and I don't talk about the future, Bà. You already know that she is a realistic person. She believes in today. What tomorrow holds for us, let us explore that on our own."

Shui Koshing leaned back in his seat. "Relax! It's not like I was gonna force you to have kids. Have I ever forced you to do anything?" Shui Xian's lips parted but before he could say anything, his father went on, "Don't say that I forced you to marry Raelle. I just told you my choice, the decision was all up to you."

Shui Xian shook his head at his father, "Bà, even if you had really forced me to marry her, I'd still not complain about it."

Shui Koshing straightened up again when he heard that, "Are you falling in love again, dear son? Didn't you say to me that you've had enough of love? Now, whoever you marry won't make a difference. However, why do I feel like your ideas are changing now?"

Shui Xian gave his father a smile, "Get a life, Bà. Stop observing my relationship with my wife."

Shui Koshing tsked at his son's pettiness, "You both are the most interesting thing to me these days." He took a pause and added, "Actually, don't worry. I'll stop paying so much attention to you both in the coming days."

"Oh?" Shui Xian raised his brow at his father inquisitively. "Why is that?"

"I'm gonna spend some time with Yue Yue and Chenyan," told Shui Koshing. "Oh, by the way, I kind of forgot to tell you. Yue Yue was kind of a cousin to your mom." Shui Xian looked at his father with surprise. "They weren't blood-related but they were like sisters. It's sad that your mom is no longer here with us."

Shui Xian's brows furrowed up when he heard his father's words. He suddenly recalled that he had felt a sense of familiarity with Mother Yue when they first met and she treated him so gently and lovingly as well.

"Did I meet her when I was young?" asked Shui Xian curiously.

"Of course, you did!" replied Shui Koshing. "I don't think you'd recall it since you're very young at that time. But whenever you and Yanjun played together, she was always there with both of you."

"With me and Yanjun?" repeated Shui Xian.

Shui Koshing nodded his head, "Yes! Both of you loved to spend time with her. She was always your playmate. Not only that, she used to cook for both of you. And I still remember how you loved to annoy your mom, telling her how Aunt Yue is a better cook than her."

"I did that?" Shui Xian fell into deep thought. Actually, there were some vague images in his mind but he was really young and really couldn't recall all of it.

But there were some things that he could recall. For instance, how he told his mother that Aunt Yue's food tastes better. Because that was something his mother never let him forget even in later years.

"Bà, how is Aunt Yue related to Yanjun?"

"Yanjun is her nephew," said Shui Koshing making Shui Xian's eyes widen in surprise.
