Master's Untamed Wife

Shui Xian was actually surprised to see that his wife went to sleep as soon as she closed her eyes. And throughout the night, she didn't even move. She didn't even change sides. She was sleeping in the same straight posture until 4:30 am when her eyes naturally opened up. Instead of lazing around on the bed, she sat up and looked at the time.

"Hubby, Good morning!" Those were the very first words that came out of her mouth. Noticing something, she questioned, "You didn't sleep?"

"Good morning, Wife!" Shui Xian replied before shaking his head in response to her question.

"Why? Is it because you're not used to my presence? You must be feeling uncomfortable?"

Shui Xian sighed at her own assumptions and asked, "And if I'm really uncomfortable, what would you do?"

"Why should I do something? It's your problem, solve it yourself," was her response.

Shui Xian pressed his lips together and nodded in agreement, "This honeymoon trip is impromptu. I was finishing up the work so that no one disturbs me over the weekend."

"What about sleep?" she questioned. "Don't you know, sleep is a vital component for every person's overall health and well-being?"

Shui Xian touched his forehead before saying, "I'll catch some sleep on the plane."

Raelle nodded her head and got up to get ready. Her outfit for the day was already prepared for her. She was wearing neutral pants with a white woolen top. It had a very refined look when she let her hair loose in slightly messy curls. Taking her white woolen coat, she looked at Shui Xian who was also getting ready now.

He noticed how she kept looking into space as if in deep thought.

"What's wrong?" he questioned.

"I'm thinking," she replied.

"About?"

"Whether to take my laptop or not," she responded.

"Take it," he said.

"But if I took it, I might spend all my time working on it."

"Then don't bring it."

"What if something urgent comes up?"

Shui Xian took a deep breath, "Just do whatever you want."

Eventually, she decided to just take it. Someone must have packed it with her stuff anyway. What was the point of taking it out? It'd be a hassle!

"I'll wait for you downstairs," she said in a small voice before leaving the room.

"Okay," he replied watching her receding back.

Raelle hurried down and seeing a maid, she called out, "Can you get me a cup of milk tea?" Right at this moment, another maid came to her side with a tray which had her milk tea. Raelle took it from her with a smile. Obviously, her Yanyan must have given some instructions. How else would her milk tea be available at this time?

It was 5:30 now and Raelle was sitting in the lounge, sipping on her milk tea when she heard someone calling her, "Young Miss!" Raelle looked over and saw a familiar face. She was the maid from her own villa, what was she doing here right now? She soon got the answer she needed, when the maid put a rectangular gift box before her on the round coffee table saying, "This package came for you just last night. Madam said to deliver it to you."

Raelle nodded her head and waved her off. She placed her cup down and picked up the box. She pulled the ribbon off and opened the lid of the box. There was some kind of clothing inside. She picked it up with her index finger and her thumb and looked at the white silk clothing that had quite some lace on it.

There was a card inside that read, 'Hope you like the wedding gift! Enjoy!'

She continued to stare at it for a long moment before she dropped it aside carelessly and picked up her phone to make a call. The bell rang for quite a while before she heard a groggy voice from the other end, "Just because you're an early bird, don't ruin others' sleep!"

"Hyson..." her voice was very languid. "Thank you for the wedding gift! How thoughtful of you!"

Hyson immediately sat up and covered his mouth with his hands before asking, "Do you like it?"

"Very much," she replied calmly. "Just wondering if it's your own choice?"

"Hey! Am I a pervert? Why would I buy this myself?" he retorted. "I asked my Mum to order it online just for you! The moment I learned you're getting married, I had it planned. See how thoughtful I am?"

"Another question," she went on. "What am I supposed to do with it?"

Hyson facepalmed himself. He should have sent a bloody manual with that lingerie! How else she'll know what to do with it?

"Elle, what did you do last night on your first night with your husband?"

"I played pool then I went to sleep," she replied honestly.

"You did what?!" Hyson's voice got louder. It was so loud that Shui Xian who had just come down could hear it by just standing behind her. "I have all the more reason to pity your husband!" He took a deep breath to stop himself from cursing her before he asked, "Elle, you guys didn't do anything else?"

"What else?" she repeated. "Oh, we kissed."

"Nothing more?" Hyson's sleep was completely gone just listening to her miserable first night! "You guys have already kissed. There is nothing new in that."

"Why not? It was new to me," she replied.

"What was new?" he questioned eagerly waiting for her reply. Even Shui Xian's ears perked up to hear her reply.

"It was wine flavor this time!"

It was so silent on the other end that one could hear the sound of the breeze. Hyson was really moved to silence by her response. Even Shui Xian pursed his lips, not knowing what to feel in this situation.

Meanwhile, Raelle really didn't read the situation as she continued, "I wonder if it was because of the strong wine or something else but it was kinda intoxicating."

"Go to hell!" was Hyson's response. "You really ruined my whole day with this stupid talk! Hang up already!"

Raelle looked at her phone's screen and said, "But I called to ask about how you're doing!"

Shui Xian cleared his throat to get her attention and make his presence known. When Raelle looked at him, he pointed at the opened box of the lingerie and asked, "What's that?"

Raelle shrugged her shoulders, "It's supposed to be clothing. But what a pity, they had a shortage of fabric in the factory."

Shui Xian's lips tugged up involuntarily at her words. "Do you really not know what that is?"

Raelle put the lid back on the box and answered, "I'm not stupid. I do know what it is. I just don't see the point behind such things." She looked up at Shui Xian's face and continued, "Wearing it or not wearing it, is just the same thing. Eventually, everything is supposed to come off, no? So, why waste money on buying such things? Why go through the trouble?"

Shui Xian bit his lip to hold himself back from laughing as he said, "Be mindful of your words. You're challenging the lingerie business. What if they go out of business?"

Raelle stood up and patted his shoulder, "Hubby, trust me, they won't! Businessmen know how to keep their business running."

"Oh, you seem to have quite some faith in such businessmen, Wife."

"I have to. I can't discredit business people like me."

"So, all along you're talking about yourself?

Raelle flashed him a smile but didn't answer his question.
