Master's Untamed Wife

1389  Unreasonable Wife

"Do you want to take a nap?" asked Shui Xian to Raelle when she was done drinking the cold medicine brew. "You can rest in the bedroom."

"Don't want to go there," she replied. Shui Xian smiled at her helplessly and fixed the comfortable chair to turn it into a bed for her to lie down. "Just lie down here to rest then." He called a flight attendant to ask for a blanket and covered her with it, "You had a lot of fun today, it's time to sleep for a while."

"What are you gonna do?" she asked. "I'll look at you," he replied seriously. "That's my favorite thing to do."

Raelle smiled at him and lay down before closing her eyes. But soon, she opened her eyes and stretched out her hand towards him. Shui Xian held her hand into his and said, "I'm right here. Go to sleep. Between the two of us, I'm the clingy one, don't steal my job from me."

Raelle didn't say anything in response to his nonsense and slowly closed her eyes. Maybe because she was really tired, she ended up sleeping and her breathing slowed down. Shui Xian glanced at her sleeping face and rubbed her cheeks lightly. He did not want to move his hand from her cheek but he was afraid of disturbing her too. But before he could pull away his hand, she rubbed her face against his palm like a lovely kitten which softened Shui Xian's heart.

"Why are you looking so soft today?" asked Shui Xian in a soft voice. "Usually, you're the fierce one. But today, you seem so soft that it's unbelievable. You're making me want to rub you into my bones."

As he had to tell her, he really just stared at her face as she slept with nothing else to do. He didn't even feel bored. No one knew what he was thinking about but the way he looked at Raelle was enviable. Since it wasn't the usual time for her to sleep, Raelle only took a power nap of a little over twenty minutes and woke up naturally. But when she noticed how she was holding both hands of Shui Xian, she pursed her lips and looked at him in dissatisfaction.

"Why don't you just pull your hands away? Isn't it uncomfortable?"

"Nope," he responded. "I can never pull my hand out of yours on my own initiative. It's not possible. I don't want to let you go."

"We are an old couple now," reminded Raelle to him. "You should stop doing this."

"Are we an old couple? We are just getting married!"

Raelle gave him a look, "Hubby, you sure are getting into the role of a newlywed." n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Shui Xian shrugged his shoulders, "No one can find faults with this behavior as we are indeed about to become newlyweds. So, don't even think of calling us an old couple."

"We'll become one eventually," she reminded him.

"No! I refuse!" he firmly refused it. "Even if I have to go through a wedding every year, I'll do it to maintain the sweetness and status of the newlyweds."

"That's too troublesome and tiring! And a waste of time."

Shui Xian's face fell and he gave her an aggrieved look, "Won't you even do this much for me?"

Raelle knew what he was doing so she didn't fall for it at all. She shook her head at him and stopped paying attention to him. But when she wanted to pull her hand out of his, he refused to let go making her look at him in question. "What? Planning on holding this hand for the rest of the flight?" asked Raelle in amusement.

"Oh?"

"After all, my plan is to hold it for the rest of my life."

Raelle really wanted to roll her eyes at him but she couldn't do so either. Not with him. There was a sweet smile on her lips that she didn't even notice. In fact, she didn't realize that she was smiling more and more naturally when she was around Shui Xian. Even his most silly and cheesy words were enough to make her feel sweet.

The girl who couldn't tell her favorite flavor seemed to have fallen for the sweet taste of her husband's words. Or maybe she liked the sweetness in his mouth more.

Both of them chatted for a while before the flight attendant asked about what they wanted for dinner. Shui Xian immediately made an order and set up the table for Raelle all on his own without letting anyone else work. But Raelle didn't find it strange as Shui Xian was always eager to serve her. He thought he wasn't much useful in her life at most times so he would try to do whatever he could.

Raelle noticed a dissatisfied and unfriendly gaze but didn't pay attention to it for now as her entire focus was on Shui Xian right now. When the dinner was served, both of them ate it but unlike before where Raelle would refuse to even say a word while eating, now she'd take a moment to answer Shui Xian's words from time to time.

Even though while doing so, she would stop her eating movements she'd still speak which was something that was impossible in the past. Raelle looked up at the stewardess who was standing by their side but her eyes were glued to Shui Xian and her eyes condensed. She might be unable to notice the difference before but she was very capable of doing so now. Maybe a woman was always intuitive. She could tell when another person had eyes on her man.

Just like right now, Raelle could tell the obsession in the stewardess' eyes toward Shui Xian. Of course, Raelle did not like it. She could bear it someone just appreciated her husband but with that coveting gaze, how could she let it go?

"You can leave!" she said straightforwardly to the flight attendant. "Send someone else to serve."

The stewardess was taken aback but didn't move. Her aggrieved eyes looked towards Shui Xian as if waiting for him to make a decision. She truly looked like Raelle just bullied her for no reason when Raelle was being very nice. And it wasn't like Raelle to be nice to employees when they were in the wrong. If it was her own employee, she'd have let her see the power of her poisonous words but this employee belonged to Shui Xian and she didn't want to go far.

Shui Xian didn't know what happened when he noticed that the flight attendant didn't move even after Raelle told her to leave, he became dissatisfied and looked up at her asking, "Why are you still standing here? My wife told you to call someone else to serve her. You can leave now."

The stewardess did not expect him to react like this and was unable to react for a while in shock. She wasn't flying on the private jet for the first time with Shui Xian. In fact, she could be considered an old employee of Shui Xian and the latter had even praised her for her service ability. She was often proud of it because she was praised by the boss. But now, she wasn't even given a single glance by the boss whom she admired for so long, she didn't know how to feel about it.

She wanted to fight for herself as she had always put on airs in front of other staff just because she was once praised by the boss. And if she was sent back from here today, she could imagine what would happen to her because of all the dissatisfaction others had toward her. "Sir, is there something that I did wrong? You can let me know so I can change it."

Shui Xian's brows furrowed and his eyes turned cold when he looked at her, "What's the point of quibbling here? Didn't you hear me say that you can leave? Do I or my wife need a reason to send you away? When we ask you to leave, you should leave!"

The stewardess bit her lips and sent a resentful glance towards Raelle before leaving.

"Have I been too nice to these people?" questioned Shui Xian to himself. "What did she do to make you upset?"

"She desired what belongs to me."

Shui Xian chuckled and nodded his head, "And my wife's paranoia and possessiveness kicked in instantly. I can understand. Next time, don't hold back. If they work for me, they should listen to their lady boss too. Show your image and style of President Raelle. Don't be too nice when it's not needed."

"As President Raelle, I don't give a damn about what people have to say about me. But as the wife of Master Xian, I should still think before doing anything. I don't want people to point fingers at my husband."

Shui Xian felt distressed when he heard that from her, "You don't have to be so thoughtful of me. I don't care what they say. You can still stay as you are. No need to concern yourself with anything else. My wife needs to be as unrestrained as she always has been. After all, what I love the most about my wife are her stinging comments and unabashed portrayal of her heartfelt feelings."
