Master's Untamed Wife

In the park, several couples could be seen riding bicycles along the riverside. Some were just walking hand-in-hand enjoying a simple walk. Although there were plenty of couples here, this place seemed quiet.

"You don't talk about your mother," said Raelle.

"It's not like I don't want to talk about her," answered Shui Xian. "It's just that I already miss her a lot. Talking about her makes me miss her even more. So, I usually avoid talking about her."

"Then why are you talking about her today?"

"Because you are my wife, honey. I feel like you should know about your mother-in-law. She was an interesting woman."

"She gave birth to my hubby, she has to be an amazing woman," retorted Raelle.

Shui Xian pretended to get shot straight on his heart as he said, "Darling, you're really something when it comes to flirting." He hugged her tightly as he added, "I wish you could meet her once."

"I have met her," answered Raelle.

"You have?"

Raelle turned her back to look at him as she told him, "I did. Not just once but a couple of times."

At first, Shui Xian was a little surprised to hear that. But later, as if recalling something, everything made sense to him.

"Did she tell you about me?" asked Shui Xian curiously.

"Why do you assume that she talked about you with me?"

"She was a typical mother. She loved to brag about her kids. Especially, me. She only took me with her to parties to show off to her friends how well-behaved her son was."

"She only told me one thing about her son," answered Raelle honestly.

"What did she say?" Shui Xian's curiosity was at its peak now. He wanted to know what his mother said about him to his wife.

"She said, 'My son has the most beautiful smile. One that came warm anyone's heart.'"

Shui Xian stiffened when he heard that. He wasn't surprised actually. His mother had said the exact same words to him on more than one occasion and he always laughed it off.

Raelle planted a kiss on his chin as she added, "When you first time smiled before me, her words echoed in my head. She wasn't lying. Your smile really is the most beautiful one."

"Pretty lady, why are you turning into a sweet mouth? That is so not like you."

"I'm just telling you the truth."

Shui Xian kissed her ear and looked towards the sky with a huge grin on his face. The sky was clear and the stars looked exceptionally beautiful tonight. Or maybe it was because he liked the company of the one in his arms that everything seemed beautiful tonight.

"Don't you think stars are really beautiful?" he suddenly asked.

Raelle looked at the stars before saying, "Stars are celestial bodies made up of hydrogen and helium. Because of the churning nuclear forging inside their core, they produce light and heat. What exactly is beautiful about them? You can't even reach them, since they are light years away from us. Not only that, even if you can touch them, they will burn you."

When Shui Xian didn't even try to stop her lecture, she leaned her head backward. From her position, she could only see his chin but when he leaned his head, she could see his face upside down. Seeing the blank look in her eyes, he smiled and kissed her lips, "Babes, you can continue. If I had a gorgeous teacher like yours, I'd have never missed a science class in my life."

"So, you aren't gonna tell me that the beauty of stars can't be explained with science?" Raelle retorted ignoring another pet name he used to call her.

"I can definitely tell you that," answered Shui Xian. He placed his hands against her cheeks and touched the tip of her nose with his own. "I told you before, not everything can be explained with science. Some things hold special meaning to everyone. Stars are just like that. Everyone holds different meanings to them. Some people even wish upon a shooting star when science tells us that it's just done because of some kind of cosmic explosion. However, that can't dampen the belief of a believer."

His words reminded Raelle of what Mu Chenyan had told her before. A belief could do wonders in one's life. Perhaps, she needed to start believing as well.

"I know your only belief is in facts and calculated data but it's alright to believe in unbelievable."

"Why?" she questioned.

"No reason," he answered plainly. "There is a possibility that you might not gain anything from that belief but so what? If nothing else, one belief can bring new hope in your life. Not only that, it might make life less complicated."

"You're talking like a sage," said Raelle.

Shui Xian chuckled, "Am I?" Suddenly, his face stiffened, "Hey! Wifey, you're calling me old?"

"When did I?"

"Sages are old," argued Shui Xian.

"And who made that rule?" She took a pause and added, "Besides, what if I did call you old? Aren't you old?"

Shui Xian gaped at her, "What? So, now I'm the old one?"

"Hubby, you're older than me. Isn't that a fact?"

"Oh, thanks for the reminder," retorted Shui Xian sulkily.

For some reason, he looked quite adorable acting like this. Raelle didn't even realize that her eyes had softened up seeing him like this. Maybe that's why she played along with him.

"I have something to tell you," she began in a soft voice. "I eavesdropped on you and Hyson."

"What?" Shui Xian was taken aback by how honestly she decided to come clean before him.

"I wasn't planning on doing it though," she told him. "It just happened and I couldn't lie to you either so I chose to come clean."

Shui Xian found her too cute every time she couldn't lie to him or to anyone. It really challenged her principles and she couldn't let anything go against her own principles.
