Master's Untamed Wife

Before Shui Xian could say anything, Hyson continued, "Don't get me wrong. I know all about the good points of my best friend. But that's what I know since she is my best friend. How did you decide to just marry her without knowing her? Because I personally never thought one can learn about the other person in just a single meeting."

Shui Xain's eyes went to Raelle's face who was silently waiting for his reply, "She made me realize that maybe I had been living my life wrong all this while."

"She made you question your beliefs?" questioned Hyson and seeing Shui Xian nod, he sighed out. "Why am I not even surprised?" Hyson could tell that there was more to it but Shui Xian was holding back. And since the latter wasn't in the mood to tell, he wouldn't force him either. Besides, he didn't need to do so. He could already see that Shui Xian had already begun to like Raelle without him knowing it.

Just like that, the three of them had a very harmonious dinner together. Shui Xian didn't even feel like this was his first time officially meeting Hyson. And since it had been too long for him to have such a friendly dinner, he felt relaxed. He didn't feel like putting up a front before either Raelle or Hyson. Both his wife and her best friend were quite astute.

And by the time the dinner ended, Shui Xian genuinely took a liking to Hyson. He could already tell that Hyson must be the abnormality in Raelle's perfect life. And maybe that's why she cherished him so much without realizing it.

But he also noticed something else. During the dinner, Hyson had constantly been conscious of taking care of Raelle. He was once again reminded of Mu Chenyan's words as she had told him before that Raelle needed someone to take care of her.

Hyson was laughing as he told Shui Xian, "Although my best friend doesn't have any embarrassing moments. But she has some seriously cute but dumb moments."

"For instance?" Shui Xian asked curiously.

"We had decided to meet up at a cafe and I ended up being late. When I got there, she looked at me and said, 'Someone said eating cupcakes is the real happiness. I don't know how many cupcakes does it take to feel that happiness but it's definitely not 29.' I was left staring at her dumbly as I asked, 'Don't tell me you really ate 29 cupcakes for the sole purpose of experiencing that happiness?' As always she flatly replied, 'It was for educational reasons.'" Hyson couldn't stop laughing as he went on, "That was one of the rare moments in my life when I realized that she was capable of something so dumb."

Shui Xian also ended up chuckling and covered his mouth with his hand.

"Oh, put that hand down," said Raelle, and Shui Xian stared at her with a raised brow. "I want to see that laugh." Shui Xian was left blinking at her for a moment.

Hyson rubbed her head saying, "My best friend really learned from me. You can be called an expert at flirting now."

Raelle didn't bother with his hand that was ruining her hairstyle but she still said, "Learned from you? Have you ever even been in a relationship before?"

"Ouch!" Hyson held his chest as if it hurt as he said, "Just because you got married, you don't have to do these personal attacks now."

"Earlier you just questioned my intelligence," she reminded him. "Was that not considered a personal attack?"

Hyson grinned at her, "But you didn't mind it. After all, your act of dumb cuteness made your husband laugh. Why would you mind it?" Hyson could really see through his best friend without any problem. She was an open book before him and even she couldn't deny that.

Raelle's eyes moved back to Shui Xian's face as she said, "Yes, I didn't mind it. And yes, it's only because it made my husband laugh. He doesn't seem to laugh that often."

Hyson rolled his eyes at her, "As if you get to question that. Have you ever put on a real smile?" Then he turned to Shui Xian and continued, "Xian Ge, it's good to be careful in life but not when it comes to the smile on your face." Shui Xian listened to him attentively. "It's not fair to yourself to let another person steal the smile from your face. Life has a habit of taking something from us but life also compensate us by giving something back in return as well. Instead of losing your smile over what life took from you, you should smile brighter for what life offered you in return."

Shui Xian's views about this carefree young man were once again changed. He really didn't think Hyson would have such a deep personality with his lighthearted look. Indeed, one shouldn't be judged by how they looked. This carefree young man must have experienced something to turn him into such a thoughtful person.

"Is this her effect or you're naturally such a deep soul kind of a person?" inquired Shui Xian.

Hyson pressed his lips together and as he thought long and hard before saying, "I think it's Raelle's effect! Very effective!"

"Are you really gonna blame me for everything tonight?" asked Raelle.

"I feel like doing it," retorted Hyson. "What can you do about it?" Hyson gave her a challenging look.

"Let's meet at the gym tomorrow," said Raelle in return.

Hyson slid his chair away from her saying, "No thanks! My muscles are still hurting from the last visit to the gym." Was he crazy? Why would he go there to become her punching bag?

"Don't worry, Wifey! I'll go with you instead," offered Shui Xian.

Hyson gave Shui Xian a look while Raelle asked, "You?"

"Hm," replied Shui Xian. "Why? I can't go?"

"Xian Ge, she has a black-belt in jiu-jitsu," Hyson kindly let him know this piece of information.

Shui Xian gave his wife a smile as he said, "What a surprise! So do I."

"When did you get trained in jiu-jitsu?" inquired Hyson.

"In the last two years," answered Shui Xian.

Hyson clapped his hands together, "That's good! No, that's great! It's settled then! I'll send Xian Ge in my place. Have fun, Ellie!"
