Master's Untamed Wife

Raelle was getting on her car to leave for work when her phone's ringtone caught her attention. But her phone was not in her hand. She turned her head and found Shui Xian holding her phone.

"You should change your lock screen photo," suggested Raelle. "So that we stop mixing up our phones like this."

"I have a better idea," replied Shui Xian.

Raelle took the phone from him and attended the call while she still talked to Shui Xian, "And what exactly is that better idea?"

"I'll tell you when I'm done with it," was Shui Xian's mysterious response.

But Raelle was never curious enough to dig into it so she just waved at him, "Have a good day, Hubby!"

"Oh, I'll definitely have a good day," said Shui Xian certainly.

Raelle sat inside the car and finally spoke in the speaker of her phone, "Why so quiet, Hyson?"

Hyson snorted, "How was I even supposed to speak when your attention was captured by Xian Ge? Do I look like I'm a lightbulb? Because I certainly don't wanna be one."

"What's gotten into you?" inquired Raelle. "Why are you calling me at this time?"

"Can't I just be calling to say good morning?"

"That's so not something you'd do," said Raelle certainly. "I'm more likely to believe that you are calling me because of the news this morning."

Hyson laughed, "Bloody hell! It's really scary how you can read my mind."

"Don't you find it scarier when you do the same with me?" retorted Raelle.

Hyson shook his head, "It seems my bestie is finally gonna become high-profile. Is it because of last night's matter?"

"Obviously," responded Raelle. "I have to become a bit high profile. It's just a reminder to everyone that Raelle Xiang had never been someone they could take lightly. As for showing up with my husband, I believe it was bound to happen. Why not just do it sooner rather than later?"

Hyson sneered, "Bound to happen sooner or later?" He rolled his eyes, "Ellie, do you take me for a fool? It's obviously a warning to people that Xian Ge is your person. And no one is allowed to touch what belongs to Raelle Xiang."

"Maybe we should not even have a conversation at all," suggested Raelle. "I can definitely understand you without words and the same goes for you. Why bother wasting time on words?"

"I'm still against that idea," protested Hyson. It wasn't like she proposed this idea for the first time. It was definitely as she said, they really didn't need words to communicate.

"Why don't you just agree?"

Hyson didn't reply since he knew she wasn't really looking for a reply. He stayed quiet for a moment and added, "There are so many exposé's written for your relationship with Xian Ge, that this matter is blowing up. Isn't it strange? You both aren't even in the entertainment industry and yet, you're trending on entertainment news. Those actresses who spent hours trying to come up with their red carpet looks must be cursing you both right now."

"It's okay," said Raelle. "They can curse as much as they want. It's not like their curses are able to peel off a layer of my flesh." She paused and added, "It's enough for me to know that Xian is happy with this development. He seems excited now that we have come out together."

Hyson laughed out loud, "You make it sound like you just came out of the closet!"

"Do you have anything better to say?"

Hyson thought about it before adding, "How about, now your relationship has seen the light of the day?"

"It's not like we had some kind of an underground relationship that couldn't see the light of the day! We are legally married! Do you even understand the concept of being legally married? Oh, wait! No, you don't know. Because you don't anyone to experience it with."

"Ouch!" was Hyson's response. "You're becoming snarky!" He smirked and added, "But I love it."

"Now that you're done talking about me, how about telling me what's bothering you?"

Hyson paused before he smiled broadly, "I thought you didn't notice."

"I always notice," she reminded him.

"That's true. You always notice," he agreed with her words and sighed. "It's nothing big. It's just that I seem to have a kiss scene that I have to shoot with He Rou." And then he gave her all the details, almost sounding quite sulky. He was just a tad bit away from whining like a kid.

"Why did they add the scene at the last moment?" questioned Raelle.

"How would I know that?" Hyson really didn't know about it. "My worry is not the kiss. Even if it's my first kiss, it really means nothing to me. But that... He Rou is my potential sister-in-law, I can't bring myself to kiss her. I feel a bit uncomfortable just thinking about it."

"Do you want me to help?" asked Raelle.

"How?"

"Oh, just one call, and the scene will be removed," answered Raelle straightforwardly. It's not like it was difficult for her to do that. Especially since Sora was Soren's sister. And Soren would gladly do this favor to Raelle. But even if there was no such connection, Raelle still had her means to get the job done.

"Nah. Forget about it," said Hyson. "I can't always run from it. I'll just have to remember that it's just acting."

"If you're uncomfortable, you don't have to force yourself," said Raelle. "I can do anything for you. You don't always have to put up with things."

Hyson's smile turned gentle as he hummed, "I know. My Ellie is all-powerful. But I don't want to always hide behind my Jie. Just knowing that you're there for me is enough. I didn't call you to complain. I just had to share it with you." He took a moment's pause to add, "And now that we have talked, I feel like I can get through this. I can definitely do it."

Raelle didn't add any other words. And neither did Hyson have anything else to say. He really shared it with her just because he knew it'll make him feel better. And it did. Now, that kiss scene wasn't as repulsive to him. As he had said, his first kiss really meant nothing to him.

"If you can't do it, just close your eyes and imagine you're kissing a potato," suggested Raelle.

"How does that make it any better?" he asked in amusement. "I'd rather imagine a watermelon."

"So, no potato? Up to you," replied Raelle.
