Master's Untamed Wife

Just as Hyson walked out of the kitchen to call Raelle, his demeanor completely changed. He could act like a spoiled kid before the ladies but he couldn't do the same before Shui Xian. After all, he didn't want Shui Xian to think that he was childish which he wasn't. He was a mature guy who just let his carefree self out before the people he felt comfortable with.

And needless to say, he felt most comfortable around the ladies who were ready to smother him with love. He could act like a jerk before Raelle as well but he couldn't do it before Shui Xian. Not just yet. He wanted to keep his image for just a while longer!

But he also knew he won't be able to keep it for long. Eventually, Shui Xian would come to see this spoiled side of his. With a somber look, he came to the lounge and found Raelle and Shui Xian sitting together. They seemed to be engrossed in talking in low voices.

Feeling like pulling up a prank, Hyson wanted to sneak up on them but when he came near and heard the content of their discussion, his face turned black. There were no lovey-dovey words being discussed between this pair of newlyweds. Instead, they were talking about some large-scale auction with the land auction and asset bundles and whatnot.

Hyson didn't understand most of it and he didn't wish to understand either as he humphed. Both Raelle and Shui Xian looked at him as he said, "Are you both at a business meeting?"

"No," replied Raelle.

"Do you remember what's your relationship with him is?" Hyson further asked.

"He is my husband," said Raelle without missing a beat.

"If you know that then why are you discussing the economy with him?"

"What else am I supposed to discuss with him?" questioned Raelle blankly.

"Maybe you can discuss how many kids you're going to have. Or when you're going to have kids. Or you can even plan a day-out! You can go out shopping? You can go out for dinner together? Or maybe you can just watch a movie together. But of all the things, you both are talking about the bloody economy?" Hyson was gritting his teeth. He stared at Shui Xian, "I expected this from her since she is a special case. Why are you going along with her?"

Shui Xian pursed his lips before saying honestly, "It's actually fun talking to her. No matter what's the topic." Hyson was left blinking at him in disbelief as he continued, "Besides, I didn't know my wife had such extensive knowledge on domestic investments."

"I'm really wasting my time with you both," huffed Hyson. "Anyways, mum is calling you for lunch. Wash your hands and come to eat something."

Raelle and Shui Xian did as they were told. They both went to wash their hands and Shui Xian could see that Raelle was thinking about something. She seemed to be concentrated.

Hyson had already occupied his seat at the dining table when Raelle and Shui Xian came to join them. Looking at the whole feast before his eyes, Shui Xian looked at the two ladies who were busy in the kitchen even now and said, "You really didn't have to prepare so much."

"It's no big deal," Mu Chenyan waved her hand offhandedly and Mother Yue also gave him a pleasant smile.

"Now, I feel embarrassed," said Shui Xian. "If I knew you'd cook so much, I'd have helped you with something."

Mother Yue made a hand sign that he couldn't understand and looked at Mu Chenyan who interpreted for him, "Yue is asking, do you know how to cook?"

Before Shui Xian could answer, Raelle answered for him, "He does. My Hubby knows how to cook."

"Oh, impressive!" complimented Mu Chenyan and then after seeing Mother Yue's response she burst out laughing. Shui Xian was confused to see her laughing and she took a pause to tell him, "Yue said, it's good someone is useful around here."

"Mum, are you calling me and my Ellie useless?" Hyson's voice rang out. Seeing how his mother shrugged her shoulders, he sighed out, "It's alright. That's also a talent only a few possess."

Both Mu Chenyan and Mother Yue shook their heads at him while they asked Shui Xian to just sit down. Mu Chenyan even added, "Today, you're our guest, son-in-law. Allow us to blow your mind with our skills. When we come to your place as a guest, we'll definitely let you, show-off."

Shui Xian smiled at her politely and took a seat beside Raelle. They waited for Mu Chenyan and Mother Yue to join them before they started to eat. Habitually, Mu Chenyan had prepared a bowl of food for Raelle but before she could place it before her, she saw how Shui Xian had attentively collected different dishes before Raelle.

Seeing them like this, Mu Chenyan felt strange in her heart. It had always been her who did something like this for Raelle. It seemed insignificant but she had done it for years. Now seeing someone else being this attentive towards her Raelle, she didn't know whether she felt happy or felt like crying.

Maybe Raelle was right, her tears were endless whenever Raelle was involved. Even something like this could make her want to shed a few tears.

Mother Yue placed a hand on her shoulder and said, 'Get used to it. You gave your daughter to him already.'

Mu Chenyan made a face before she said in a small voice, "It'll take time. I can't just instantly get used to it."

Shui Xian was oblivious to their reaction as he put a meatball into Raelle's bowl before asking, "Do you want to try veggie chow mien?"

Raelle stared at his face for half a minute before saying, "Sure."

"Don't just put food in her bowl," said Hyson. "You should also eat something. If you kept asking, she won't say no to anything."

"No one asked for your opinion," said Raelle.

"Who was giving you the opinion?" retorted Hyson.

Suddenly the clacking sound was heard that made Hyson shut his mouth and focus on his food. As for Raelle, she didn't need someone to tell her that she was supposed to focus on her food now. As long as there was food in her bowl, that'd always be where her focus would be.
