Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 785 Ego

　　Just sitting here doing nothing and having a pointless argument with his wife allowed Shui Xian to actually relax and feel comfortable. It was as if the shadows left on his mind from yesterday's happenings were slowly lifting up and he was able to look more clearly at how much warmth he currently was surrounded by.

　　"Hubby!"

　　"Don't even think about it," was Shui Xian's response even before he heard what she had to say.

　　"What? You don't even know what I want to say," she said.

　　"No, I'm very clear about your thoughts," he replied. 

　　"How is that possible? I might have given you a place in my heart to live but I definitely didn't allow you to peak into my head."

　　Shui Xian smiled as he said, "I'm your husband. Husband and wife are of one mind and heart. Of course, I'd know what's going on in your mind."

　　"Oh? Then tell me what did I want to say?" she asked.

　　"You want me to let you check up on your work," he replied.

　　Raelle lifted her head from his chest and looked at him as she held her head in her hands, "You really took a peek into my head?"

　　Shui Xian tapped her nose, "Maybe I did."

　　Raelle stared at him intently as if trying to figure out how he managed to see her thoughts? But she forgot that by now, everyone knew how much she loved her work. It wasn't surprising that Shui Xian would be able to figure out what she was all about.

　　"I have such a smart wife, I have to up my game, no?" he asked her playfully.

　　"That's true. With such a smart wife, you can't be lazy," she responded.

　　"Wow! Babes, you noticed that you are becoming even more narcissistic?"

　　"I noticed," she replied to him. "But isn't it because of you?"

　　"Me?" he inquired as his brows quirked up in confusion. "Please, enlighten me."

　　"A woman in a relationship is only narcissistic when her partner is the one behind her boosting her ego," she told him. "You clearly love to let me know how amazing I am all the time. How can I not get more narcissistic?"

　　"Oh, so it's because of that," Shui Xian nodded in understanding. "Then I'm doing a good job. Wifey, you can be as conceited as you want. I'll keep fanning the flames of your ego from behind."

　　"Who wants you to stand behind me all the time?" she asked. "You're my husband. My partner in life. Your place is right beside me, not behind me." She hugged him as she laid her head back on his chest.

　　Shui Xian's face leaned against her head as he hugged her back and said, "Aren't I beside you?" He tsked to himself, "One day, I'm gonna get diabetes because of your sweet words."

　　"No, you won't get it," she said. "But about my..."

　　"No!" was Shui Xian's response as he interrupted her from getting back on the topic.

　　"Why? It's not like I'm asking to go to work," she told him. "I just want to check up on some things. Today, we were supposed to have a very important meeting."

　　"I'm still not letting you work," he was adamant on that point. "Look, aren't I here not working as well? I'm as free as you are."

　　"Well, why are you wasting your time with me here?"

　　"Because I want to," he replied. But suddenly changed his words, "No, I'm not wasting my time. How can this be called wasting time? I'm clearly cultivating feelings with my wife. That's more important than anything."

　　"You're clearly wasting your time," was all she said. Then her hands became a little dishonest and started their journey under his shirt. Her soft hands brushed on his waist and wanted to move up but Shui Xian held her wrist and took a deep breath.

　　"What do you think you're doing?" 

　　"Since words are not working, I thought I need to change tactics," she answered honestly.

　　Shui Xian didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this moment. His wife has always dared to say anything and do anything. As per her mood. Who cared where they were? Even if they were in public, did it matter to her? Clearly not! She didn't mind trying to seduce him and hook his soul away.

　　"So, you're trying to seduce me?" he asked. "But what to do, my adorable wife, it's not working."

　　Raelle pinched his chest and she took out her hand from under his shirt. "Didn't you say I don't even have to do anything and you'd be seduced by me? Now, I'm even trying and you're not willing to be seduced? Did I just lose my charm?"

　　Shui Xian laughed out loud at her words, "How is that possible? Raelle Xiang is the most charming lady I have ever met in my life. How can you lose your charm?"

　　"Then why isn't it working on you? Did you get immune to my charm after just being married for half a year?" she asked. 

　　He sighed out and poked her forehead, "Silly, how can I be immune to your charms?"

　　"Then what's the problem here?"

　　"The problem is the place we are at right now," he reminded her.

　　Raelle looked around and looked at the patients walking around in the garden. Some were even sitting on the other wooden benches around them. Even doctors were taking a break outside holding their coffees or sandwiches. Clearly, this hospital was not a place where seduction would work.

　　"So, the problem is not with me, but it's with this hospital," said Raelle as she nodded to herself.

　　Shui Xian was amused but didn't say anything refute her words. Well, he had to say she wasn't wrong. How could she be the problem? If it was at any other moment, he'd be willing to sell his soul to her. But knowing that they were at the hospital and she wasn't doing well was enough to act like a bucket of cold water on his head. How could he get excited in this situation?
