Chapter 1397 Queen Is Watching
Chapter 1397 Queen Is Watching
Only after Hyson was done did he relax and feel like he lost all his strength as he slumped down on the chair and didn't want to move at all. He rubbed his wrist and noticed that the redness was turning into a purple bruise. Hyson tried to move his wrist and felt a slight pain in it.
"Is it really hurting that badly?" questioned Raelle.
"You really don't know how strong your husband is, eh?" Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Raelle didn't comment on that. Whether she knew about her husband's strength or not was her own matter why would she tell him about it? Anyway, no matter how much strength Shui Xian had, he didn't have the heart to treat her harshly. He was always gentle with her and did not dare to use even slight force on her.
Even when he left some strawberries on her body, he'd feel bad about it later as he didn't seem to like seeing any bruises on her body. "It's not broken so don't be so dramatic now," retorted Raelle. "Just rub some medicated oil and it'll get better in no time." Raelle looked back at Shui Xian and found it more interesting to watch her husband working so attentively in the kitchen. When she looked at the tomatoes that Hyson diced, she frowned, "You don't know what a diced tomato looks like?"
Hyson rubbed his nose as he also knew that he did a very bad job but it was his first time so he should be given some leeway, right? But he refused to accept criticism from someone who did nothing.
"At least, I tried! I am not like you who is just enjoying the scene with ease." "I am giving emotional support by being here. Just me being here is enough for Xian. Isn't that right, husband?"
Shui Xian looked up at the two bickering kids and nodded, "Yes, you being here is very much enough."
"Tsk. Queen Raelle is here watching her consort make a meal for her. When the Queen is pleased by the consort's delicious food, she'll reward the consort with treasures and whatnot."
Raelle pinched Hyson's arm making his yelp and he almost fell from the chair. "Stop talking. You aren't helpful already."
Hyson stuck out his tongue and made a face at her.
Shui Xian soon served the steaming bowl of tomato noodles for the three of them and sat down to eat with them. "I didn't expect that it'd be so easy to find all the ingredients for the Chinese cuisine here."
"You think Opa is someone who can get used to Western food?" questioned Hyson. He picked up the chopsticks and said, "Thank you for the meal, Ge!"
"Just eat. Can't the food shut you up?"
"I wasn't talking to you, Ellie. Don't be like a firecracker. When or how did I piss you off?"
"Your face is enough to piss me off!"
Hyson gaped at her in disbelief and refused to talk to her. He did not wish to even speak to her right now as she was really like a firecracker lately. But only with him. What did he do? During the whole meal, he kept thinking about how managed to piss off Raelle? He was still the same as always then how could she be pissed off when he wasn't able to piss her off in all these years?
After they were done eating, Raelle held back Shui Xian and turned to Hyson, "Wash the dishes."
Hyson pointed at himself, "Me?"
"Who else is here?"
"This friendship is over!" said Hyson as he collected the bowls and went to wash them hatefully. "I'm serious, by the way!"
Raelle didn't respond to his angry words as she felt there was no need to do so. If this friendship was over by just a couple of words, then they wouldn't have reached so far in their life together.
"You don't even take me seriously," Hyson almost yelled and with a crack, the ceramic bowl broke down. He bit his tongue when he realized what he did.
"This is why I didn't respond. You get so easily distracted. Can you pay attention?"
"Oh..."
Hyson focused on washing the dishes and didn't notice the pleased expression on Raelle's face. Shui Xian shook his head seeing this and patted her head, "Stop bullying him so much."
"When did I?" retorted Raelle. "I'm just teasing him a little."
"He might start crying if you continued. Don't forget that he has sensitive tear ducts."
"He won't cry. If he did, I'm gonna beat him up."
Shui Xian felt some sympathy for Hyson right now seeing how his wife was hell-bent on messing with Hyson right now.
Only after Hyson was done washing the dishes, did they get together to walk back to their rooms. "Did you come alone or others are here too?" asked Shui Xian to Hyson.
"Only I'm here for now," replied Hyson. "Others are coming tomorrow."
"Why did you come first?" asked Raelle.
Hyson glared at her, "I came because I wanted to do so. What is wrong with you? Are you so unhappy to see me here?"
"I'm unhappy to see those heavy dark circles under your eyes," said Raelle. "You didn't even rest. Why did you hurry over here? You could have waited for a day or two before coming."
"I wanted to come as soon as possible before I didn't want to miss anything. It's my best friend's wedding. How can I be late? Won't you eat me alive if I came late? Why aren't you happy even when I came early? Why are there so many issues?"
Raelle held Shui Xian's hand and pulled him with her, "Let's go. He has lost his mind."
"My mind wasn't good to begin with!"
"Exactly!" agreed Raelle. "Then you should go and get some sleep to get your mind back to the barely acceptable state."
Shui Xian put his hand on Raelle's mouth and turned back to look at Hyson giving him a look that told him to shut up. One was sleepy and one was in the mood for trouble. Both weren't doing any better than the other. He didn't know why he was always stuck between the two. It was really difficult for him.
