Master's Untamed Wife

"Shall we go home now?" questioned Shui Xian. It was around 4 in the afternoon at this time. They had skipped lunch today since they had popcorn and drinks during the movie and then he dragged Raelle to this café for some coffee and pastries. It was obvious that only he enjoyed the sweet things between the two of them but that never meant that his wife won't accompany him.

"Don't you want to eat dinner?"

Shui Xian looked at his wife and said, "We'll eat at home."

"Huh? But I was planning to take you out to eat," told Raelle.

Shui Xian's lips curled into a beautiful arc, "It's that thought that matters to me. But I still think we should go home for dinner."

"Why?" Raelle genuinely couldn't understand why he insisted on this. According to what she learned, he loved eating at fancy restaurants. It could be considered one of his hobbies to explore good restaurants, Then how come now he didn't want to go with her?

"It's because you don't like eating out," was Shui Xian's honest response. "And I know you don't mind eating out with me, that doesn't mean I want to force you. Homemade food is comfortable to you, how can I not know that?"

"I'm not forcing myself to eat out though," replied Raelle. "And it's not like I can't eat out."

Shui Xian shook his head, "I know. As I said, I know you can but you don't like it. You don't have to always take a step closer to me. Sometimes, allow me to walk over and meet you in the middle. If you continued to act like this, won't it make our relationship seem unbalanced?"

Raelle thought about his words deeply and seriously.

Shui Xian offered his hand to her and holding her hand tightly in his hand, he grinned, "Let's go! I have other reasons for going home early."

"For instance?"

"It's a surprise," answered Shui Xian mysteriously.

"But I don't like surprises," said Raelle.

"I know," said Shui Xian as he chuckled helplessly. "It's not a surprise for you. It's for Fai."

"He also doesn't like surprises," was Raelle's response.

"What?" Shui Xian was taken aback by his revelation.

Raelle gave him a nod, "He really doesn't. But he does love pretending though. I don't like surprises because I like to be in control of everything around him. As for him, he doesn't like surprises since they scare him."

"Scare him?" asked Shui Xian curiously.

"Hyson is most scared of change in his life," told Raelle. "Just when the life deviates from what he had in mind, it stresses him out. He looks like he doesn't care but his mind is deep. He can spend hours pondering over the smallest of things in life."

"Woah! He really knows how to hide his real persona," commented Shui Xian.

"He works in the entertainment industry," reminded Raelle. "Having a fake persona is a part of being a celebrity. Isn't it?"

Shui Xian couldn't refute those words, "You're right. It really is a part of being a celebrity."

"So, what's the surprise?" questioned Raelle.

Shui Xian glanced at her, "Baby, even if you ask I'm not telling for now."

Raelle didn't insist on knowing either. What she didn't know was that if she had asked Shui Xian once more, he'd have spilled everything. After all, he had only so much self-control around her. But fortunately for him, she didn't ask again.

Raelle didn't like questioning things, to begin with, and even if she ended up asking you something and you didn't want to answer, she'll never ask again. That's just how she was.

As they arrived in the parking, Shui Xian passed the car keys to her saying, "Wifey, how about you drive?"

Raelle looked at the keys he held out to her and then her eyes moved to his face, "You want me to drive?"

Shui Xian nodded his head, "Yup!"

"Why? All of a sudden you want me to drive?"

"Isn't it because being a driver is not fun?"

"It's not fun?" repeated Raelle. "Then riding shotgun is fun?"

"It is to me," replied Shui Xian. He gave her a shameless smile as he went on, "I can't look at my wife while driving. But I can look at you all I want while sitting next to you."

"And it's fun to look at me?" asked Raelle. "I don't think there is anything unique about my face that you'd want to spend hours looking at it."

Shui Xian tsked, "Wife, you have to look at yourself with my eyes."

"That is impossible to do unless our souls get swapped," replied Raelle blankly. "But even that is just fantasy. In the end, I can't see myself with your eyes."

Shui Xian laughed out, "Then you'll never know what you look like through my eyes."

"Why do I think that you've been acting..." she couldn't find the right word because she couldn't actually understand what he was even doing.

"I'm acting like a shameless person," Shui Xian helped her out as he grinned cheekily at her. "Am I doing a good job?"

"Very," replied Raelle as she gave him a look before getting into the car.

Shui Xian's white and perfect teeth were on full display as he jogged up to the other side and opened the door to sit inside. He tried to pull the seat belt and then looked at Raelle pitifully, "Wifey, my seatbelt is stuck. How about you help me with it?"

Raelle turned her head and stared at Shui Xian intently, "What are you up to now?"

"Nothing," he replied innocently.

Raelle didn't ponder over it and leaned over to help him with his seatbelt. As her face came closer to his, Shui Xian pressed his lips against her cheek. As she tilted her face towards him, he grinned at her and pecked her lips as well. Raelle silently helped him with his seatbelt and settled in her seat.

"All that nonsense just to mess with me?"

"If I won't do it, how would you understand what shameless people look like?"

"Do I have to know that?"

"Yes!" replied Shui Xian certainly.
