[I don't think an actress can have such aura?]
[Then is she from the aristocratic circle?]
[She gives off that deeply engraved arrogance. She must be from the high society.]
[I don't think I've seen a socialite like her? Is she new?]
The comments on the live stream were still going crazy trying to figure out her identity. No one could tell who she was. After all, whether it was abroad or here, Raelle had always had a low profile. No pictures of her could be found online. In fact, those enthusiastic reporters who kept clicking the shutter to take her photos were actually quite poor. Because not even one photo was gonna be able to get on their news portals.
While all this commotion was going on, another car stopped and a man stepped out. He buttoned up the front of his coat and looked up. Raelle had only reached the mid of the carpet when Shui Xian arrived.
[Mom, I think I'm gonna climb the wall![1]]
[This face... Let me lick the screen!]
[Who is the handsome Gege?]
[He looks so... dreamy!]
Shui Xian's eyes wandered off to those enthusiastic reporters and he frowned a little. Taking long strides, she caught up with Raelle and wrapped his arm around her waist.
"Surprise," his low voice rang close to her ear as his breath could be felt on the tips of her ears.
Raelle turned her head and gave him a not-so-surprised look.
"You're here," was all she said in a soft voice as she continued to walk.
Shui Xian held her back and turned to oppose her saying, "Let's smile for the camera, first."
"Are you laying your claim?" she asked.
"I sure am," was all he said as he smiled at her.
The picture was dazzling. He looked down at her with a beautiful smile that softened his features but enhanced his handsomeness. And she looked up into his eyes with an expressionless face. However, even though she didn't have any expression on her face, seeing them together like this one couldn't possibly find any fault.
[Crack! That's the sound of my heart breaking! Woohoo!]
[This is karma! I climbed the wall and my new idol just went to flirt around.]
[They look so good together!]
[And here I thought the picture was already good enough with only one of them around and now that they stand together, I can't seem to look away.]
[Why do they look so harmonious?]
[I feel like they are in their own world and we should not disturb them.]
"Let's go now," Shui Xian didn't plan on posing for all night. He just wanted to make a statement and he already had done that. Now, it was time to enter.
"Sir, look here for a minute!" A young reporter called out.
Shui Xian turned his head to look in his direction and the smile on his face vaished instantly. His deep eyes stared only for a moment but the young reporter couldn't bring himself to say anything else as he watched them enter the venue.
"Phew! I couldn't breathe for a moment!" The young reporter heaved a sigh of relief.
A senior reporter patted his shoulder, "You're lucky Master Xian seemed to be in a good mood."
The impression Shui Xian left on the crowd was that he was like a charming prince who just walked out of a fairytale. Especially with that smile of his. But those who knew, definitely knew well enough what kind of a prince he was. And none of them even dared to take any pictures randomly. Even if they did, they wouldn't dare to post it.
"You're not really surprised to see me here," stated Shui Xian certainly. Even if she always wore that blank face, he was getting somewhere with his understanding of her. She definitely seemed like she had expected to see him here. But why was that so? He certainly didn't tell anyone that he'd be attending this banquet. Even his assistant Ma Jin just found out when he appeared before him all dressed up. "You knew I'd be here."
Raelle extended her hand towards Cloe who placed a small rectangular box in her hand. Raelle opened it and took out a lapel pin with a design of a crown. She patiently pinned it on his coat lapel as she spoke, "I certainly you knew you'd come."
Shui Xian was left with no doubt the moment he saw her taking out that lapel pin. If she didn't know he'd be here, why would she bring this with her? It was definitely for him!
"How?" he asked curiously.
Raelle gave the box back to Cloe as she replied, "Because I had seen the invitation list and your name was there."
"But I usually send Ma Jin for such events," said Shui Xian.
"True, but this one you're gonna attend," said Raelle. "Why do you think I brought it up to you specifically yesterday?"
Shui Xian's suddenly had a look of realization, "You baited me?" His eyes widened slightly, "You knew if you brought it up, I'd think of surprising you and I did exactly that! You schemer!"
Raelle patted his chest, "And you're married to this schemer now!"
Shui Xian was amused by her words. "And I certainly love this schemer as well," he pinched her nose lovingly. He couldn't help it. He wanted to actually squish her in his arms right now.
"We have shared the same bed for so long," said Raelle. "I certainly am able to understand you enough to know what buttons to press to achieve my desired reaction."
Shui Xian chuckled to himself, "What's with this crown? Is this a statement that I'm your King?" Since he couldn't do anything else, he decided to be cheeky now. He was good at it anyway. And he loved being cheeky with her.
Raelle lifted her hand up and her fair and slim wrist appeared before his eyes. "I'm making the statement that I'm your Queen."
Shui Xian was left gaping at her bracelet that he had specifically designed for her. It was a diamond tiara bracelet and it looked so good on her right now. There were three small tiara designs studded with small diamonds. It was a gorgeous masterpiece of intricate mastership. The artisan definitely made this bracelet with love and care. And it was truly made just for her.
As for what she said, he was so giddy that he didn't even know how to react. He really was gonna lose all his image and prestige tonight because of his Queen!
