Master's Untamed Wife

Raelle ended up sleeping right on time as per her routine without so much of a second thought but poor Shui Xian couldn't do the same. His night had become restless after what he heard from Raelle. He looked at her sleeping face in the dim light and asked softly, "How are even able to sleep so soundly?" The back of his fingers caressed her cheek as he questioned, "Baby, does it really not matter to you?"

However, he was bound to not receive an answer from a sleeping person. Perhaps, he wasn't really looking for an answer right now.

When the morning came around, Shui Xian had big dark circles because he hardly managed to get any sleep. Raelle on the other hand was looking as fresh and energized as ever. There was really hardly anything that could disrupt her life. Even though Shui Xian was super tired, he still dragged himself out of the bed and went out for a morning jog with Raelle.

While running, Shui Xian was really in his own world. And his mood worsened when he didn't manage to even see his favorite dog, Coco in the park. It had been a while since he last saw that happy and fluffy dog that always managed to lift up his mood. But today, he was bound to be disappointed since Coco didn't seem to be there.

He thought he was being discreet when he tried to look for Coco but Raelle still caught his small movements. But she didn't say anything to him regarding that.

"I will be skipping our phone call during the lunch break today," she told Shui Xian when they were going back to the house.

"Huh? Why?"

"I have to go out to meet Soren during that time," answered Raelle.

"Why is he disturbing my wife's lunch break?" grumbled Shui Xian. "And what about lunch? Are you gonna eat out?" He asked that question since he knew she didn't like eating out even if she wasn't particular about what she ate, she was particular about who made that food.

"No, I'll have the lunch in the car," answered Raelle.

"Is that okay?"

"Absolutely!" was her response.

They went back home and as usual, got busy with their morning routine. There was nothing different, except for the fact that Shui Xian was too distracted. Raelle was styling her hair when she noticed how he had buttoned up his shirt wrong. Those big dark circles were also quite conspicuous on his pale skin. He seemed haggard and drained out.

As he sat down on the chair to put on his shoes, Raelle came to stand before him. Shui Xian looked up at her and raised his brows in question. Without a word, Raelle sat down on his legs with both her legs on each side while arms were wrapped around his neck.

"Hi!" she said.

Shui Xian was confused but he still replied, "Hi!"

"How are you, Hubby?"

"I'm good, Wifey!"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes," was his response.

Raelle's hand moved down as she unbuttoned his shirt as he asked with a smirk, "Wifey, isn't it too early for this? We won't be going anywhere if you act like this?"

Raelle poked his forehead, "As much as I'd love to continue what you have in mind, it's still a no for now." Shui Xian's brows knitted up as she went on, "Get your head out of the gutter. You didn't button up the shirt right."

"Oh..." was the only thing Shui Xian could say.

"Is something on your mind?"

Shui Xian wanted to shake his head but he knew it was pointless to act okay in front of her. She was like a mind reader. He couldn't possibly hide it from her. So, he ended up nodding his head.

"Is it about me?" she further asked and Shui Xian again nodded his head. As Raelle focused on buttoning up his shirt, she said, "You know it's difficult for me to connect with people, right?"

"I know," he answered.

"And you also know that I can't possibly understand the complicated feelings you're currently going through," added Raelle. She looked straight into his eyes and said, "But I believe you're feeling bad for me right now."

Shui Xian ran his hand through his hair in frustration as he nodded.

"Even I don't feel bad for myself, why do you?"

"Just like you can't explain why you can't feel anything, I also can't explain why I am able to feel everything so deeply," was his answer to her.

"True," said Raelle. "And I guess I don't need an answer. I just want to tell you to not dwell over it. I told you already, the past is like a book that has already been read and I have never liked reading the same book twice."

"Give me some time," he said to her. "I'll be okay once I sort out my feelings."

"Take all your time," she answered. "As I told you once, I'm a very patient person."

Shui Xian chuckled at her response as he hugged her and nuzzled her neck. "Let's stay like this for a moment. It feels good."

"Okay," with that, Raelle continued to run her fingers through his hair gently and allowed him to nuzzle all he wanted. But soon, it turned into kissing her neck up and down. "Stop it or we'll really be late for work."

"Isn't that okay?" said Shui Xian as his hot kisses fell along her jaw. "The perks of being the boss, you can be late once in a while."

Raelle placed her hands on his shoulder to stop him, "No! As the boss, you need to set an example for your employees."

Shui Xian slumped back on the chair, "Baby, you're so not fair!"

Raelle didn't pay attention to him as she found her concealer and helped put it on his face to hide his dark circles. After she was done, she nodded as if approving the work she had done and commented, "Handsome!"

Shui Xian laughed out loud as he stood up and hugged her while laughing. He pinched her cheek, "Aiyo, whose wife are you? Why are you so cute?"

"Yours," she answered straightforwardly.

"Huh?"

"Wife," she added. "That's I'm definitely yours. Only yours."

With that answer, Shui Xian threw his head back and laughed heartily. He cuddled her saying, "Yes, that's right.. You're my wife. Only mine!"
