Master's Untamed Wife

It took them about 30 minutes to get their red marriage booklets. Raelle opened it and continued to look at their photo. She finally closed it and looked at Shui Xian as she said, "Congratulation!"

"Are you really congratulating me for getting married?" he inquired bemusedly.

Raelle straightforwardly shook her head, "Nope! I'm congratulating you because... Your status just got upgraded."

"You mean relationship status changed right?"

"No, no..." she faintly smiled and went on, "I mean to say that you're status literally got upgraded in 30 minutes. From a random guy, you just became my husband. How do you feel about it?"

"I feel like..." Shui Xian paused and closed his eyes briefly. "I need a drink. The stronger the better!"

Raelle replied casually, "People usually around me need a drink."

Shui Xian wanted to say, he could tell why. No one would be able to deal with her sober. It was a task on its own. He didn't feel this tired all day as much he felt trying to talk to her.

"Where is your car?" he asked.

"We just got our marriage license, you already want to go separate ways?"

"No!" he poked her head. "I was gonna say, if your car is still here, send it back. Because you're obviously coming with me, wife!"

"Wife?" Raelle repeated it softly as if trying to see how it rolled out on her tongue. Finding nothing wrong with it, she said, "I know already. Don't we have dinner to get to? Your family and mine will be there. Right?"

Shui Xian nodded his head and led her to his own Maybach. He opened the door for her before going around to take his own seat. As he was getting his keys out, he felt a box in his pocket and hit his own head.

Taking the rectangular box out, he said, "I forgot to give this to you."

Raelle looked at the wedding bands he held and voiced out, "I was wondering when you'll get to that." She extended her hand towards him, "Go on!"

Shui Xian put the ring on her hand and she did the same for him. But before he could pull his hands away, she placed their hands, side by side, and said, "I think it's pretty."

"I'm glad you like it," he said it actually meaning his words. He saw her taking her phone out and asked, "What are you doing?"

She placed her hand over his in a way that their rings showed and clicked a photo as she stated the obvious, "I'm taking a picture."

"Wow! My wife is so smart," his tone and words both were sarcastic right now. "Even I can tell you're taking a photo. But why?"

Raelle didn't reply, she unbuckled her seatbelt and slung her arm around his shoulder. Her face was right by his side and she opened the front camera. Through the camera, she could see that he was looking at the side of her face instead of focusing here.

"Look here!" she said and Shui Xian finally turned his head to look at the camera. "Smile a little."

"I don't..."

Before he could say anything, she went on, "Even I have learned to fake smile in all these years. Don't tell me you can't even do that! Just put up your business smile."

Shui Xian didn't think it was necessary to tell her that he didn't have a business smile. He always greeted everyone coldly to the point that if he even smiled now, they might get more scared. But right now, he didn't have to fake a smile at all. His lips naturally lifted slightly and his features softened a little.

*Click!*

Raelle got back in her seat and fastened the seatbelt with a satisfied smile. Obviously, she clicked these snaps for her best friend. She wasn't fond of taking her own photos but Hyson was. And he had especially asked her to send him a photo of her with her husband. Usually, she might ignore his request but today, he did look out of sorts, so she decided to just grant his wish.

It was just one picture anyway. Besides, it was helpful to her as well. She sent the same picture to Mu Chenyan and was pleased with her own plan. This was truly killing three birds with one stone. In the other words, just one picture was enough to satisfy Hyson, Mu Chenyan, and her grandfather. Where else would you get a better offer?

Shui Xian actually didn't question why she wanted to take a photo together. His mind was elsewhere. He was about to start the car when his eyes fell on another rectangular box on his dashboard. This one was wrapped up like it was a gift. He frowned in confusion. He couldn't recall having such a thing when he came.

He looked at his newly wedded wife who was busy on her cell phone before opening the box. Inside, he found a note that read, 'Happy Marriage, dear husband. From, your wife!'

Apart from that note, he found a pair of customized cufflinks which again had his initials on them. It was exactly the kind he usually wore. Not only that, she had actually got it from 'Moonlight.'

He pursed his lips together and looked at her, "Thanks for the gift!"

Raelle waved her hand nonchalantly, "It wasn't a big deal."

"Why did you place it here?" he questioned.

"Because I don't like giving gifts to someone directly."

He closed the box and placed it in his suit jacket before asking, "Why did you give me a gift? I didn't prepare anything for you."

Raelle held up her hand that had the wedding ring, "Isn't this a gift?"

"That's not a gift. That's something I should be giving you. It's my responsibility. It's something I should be giving you as your husband."

Raelle stared at the ring for a while intently before whispering, "Then it's better if it's not a gift." His brows arched up as she continued, "I don't like taking gifts."

"But you seem to love giving gifts," he retorted before stepping on the gas. She couldn't argue with this statement.
