Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 688 How Did You Know?

Meanwhile, while Raelle thought she'd be peacefully sleeping in the arms of her husband, she was knocked on her head. She opened her eyes and blinked at Shui Xian. Her big eyes showed her confusion vividly. Shui Xian found the expression so adorable that he almost softened up but immediately he held up his resolve!

No way was he going to let this matter go.

"Hubby..." she called out.

"You should be glad that I can't do anything else to you," said Shui Xian. "Or else I'd have told you the consequences of talking nonsense."

"When did I?" she asked.

"Just now, who was the one who said she isn't dead yet?" Raelle immediately shut up. She finally was also reminded of that angry glare that Shui Xian had thrown at her at that time. It was the very first time he looked at her with such an expression. And as always, Raelle had welcomed that new expression. She always liked to discover Shui Xian's expressions, and this one was no different for her.

"I wasn't talking nonsense though," said Raelle. "Aren't I alive? If I was dead, I'd have stopped breathing and..." Before she could continue, he pinched her nose and didn't let her speak.

He really couldn't do anything else to her. What could he possibly do to teach her a good lesson? It's not like he could beat her. His heart was already shuddering at the memory of her tears that he saw today. He felt like he was scarred for life. Yes, definitely scarred for life. He was willing to do everything and anything to make sure that those tears never appear again.

They scorched his heart.

Taking a deep breath, he said, "Darling, please choose your words wisely. I have a very weak heart. It gets hurt and scared very easily." He pressed his lips against her forehead as he continued, "And I can't even imagine losing you."

Raelle nodded her head and said, "Okay. I'll keep that in mind before speaking."

"Thank you," he said.

Raelle placed her hand on his cheek and asked, "Does it hurt?"

"Huh?"

"Bà slapped you so hard," she said. "It must have hurt."

Shui Xian shook his head, "Not that much."

"But it's all red," said Raelle. And she was telling the truth. Even now, his cheek was red and slightly swollen. However, he really didn't think it hurt. At least, it didn't hurt as much as knowing that she was in the hospital or as much as knowing that he lost his chance to see that child of his ever again.

Thinking of that, his eyes dimmed immediately.

Raelle noticed that change and asked, "What are you thinking?"

Shui Xian held her hand that she placed against his face and brought it to his lips. He dropped soft kisses on her fingers as he answered, "Nothing. I'm thinking about what should I cook for you to help you recover fast."

"You're gonna cook yourself?" asked Raelle. Even if she knew he was lying and avoiding her question, she didn't insist on knowing the truth. Perhaps, deep down she knew what was on his mind. But she wasn't willing to say it out loud just as much as he wasn't.

"Why? I can't cook for you?" asked Shui Xian. "Haven't I done it before?"

"But we were on kind of a vacation back then," said Raelle. "Now, we are home."

"So? I can cook for you whenever you want. It's just that my wife is not even a demanding person. She doesn't ask for anything. What am I supposed to do about that?"

"I did ask for something," said Raelle.

"Oh? What did you ask for?"

"Hugs," she answered. "You can give me more kisses as well. I don't mind."

Shui Xian chuckled softly and kissed her face saying, "Just this much? See? You are really easily satisfied."

Raelle didn't think she was easily satisfied though. Was she? It seemed she'd have to think about this again.

"So, what will you cook?" asked Raelle.

"Anything you want," he replied.

"But I can eat anything, you know that."

Shui Xian sighed, "And again, the thinking job is mine."

"You should do a good job then. Thinking about what to eat is troublesome. I'd rather not think about it at all."

"Wifey, I think the relationship between you and 'trouble' is a lot closer than you and I."

"Is it?"

"It is," he insisted.

Raelle buried her face in his chest as she said, "But isn't it good enough that I don't find anything related to you troublesome?"

"Oh, I count that as my blessing," said Shui Xian. "You should close your eyes and go to sleep."

"You should too," she said. "You haven't slept all night because of me."

"It doesn't matter, I'm not tired."

"Liar."

Shui Xian smiled at her and said, "Okay, I'm a liar. But I really can't sleep right now. You go to sleep, I'll eventually fall asleep while looking at you."

"How am I supposed to sleep when it's not my sleeping hours?" she questioned. "This is another reason why I avoid hospitals. They always tell you to rest and sleep."

Shui Xian chuckled, "If you try, you'll fall asleep."

"Today is Saturday," she said.

"Yes, it is."

"What a bummer."

"What happened?"

"I had a gift for you," she told him. "I was supposed to receive that today. And I was gonna take you out for dinner and give it to you. Everything was planned."

This was the first time Shui Xian was even hearing about it and he was surprised.

"I don't need any gift," he said.

"Now, don't say I'm your most precious gift."

Shui Xian gasped, "How did you know?"

Raelle gave him a look and in return, he smiled at her and rubbed his nose against hers, "It's true. You are my biggest and most precious gift. I really don't want anything. I'm just happy that Heaven didn't take you from you."

In reply, Raelle didn't say anything. Usually, she'd sleep in the same posture. Today, she hugged Shui Xian back and closed her eyes.
