Master's Untamed Wife

Seeing him nod like this Mu Chenyan sighed out. She poured Shui Xian a drink and said, "Then I believe you must have felt like having a strong drink." Shui Xian was surprised that she read his thoughts. He did ask for a drink earlier because of Raelle. Mu Chenyan shook her head at his expression and added, "Our Elle usually makes people feel like drinking. She seems to be pretty good at it."

Shui Xian didn't know why but hearing this made his lips curve up in an imperceptible smile. He was amused to know that Raelle's family knew her so well. But not only that, he felt good knowing that Raelle was the same with everyone. He wasn't the only one she tried to annoy on purpose.

He looked at Grandfather Xiang and Mu Chenyan before voicing out, "Actually, she is pretty interesting." He looked at Raelle who was talking to his father and added, "She is difficult to talk to but she is very adorable at times."

Both Grandfather Xiang and Mu Chenyan shared a look of relief.

Soon, dinner was served and everyone started talking candidly. Grandfather Xiang was already satisfied with Shui Xian and that's why he selected him for his granddaughter. However, this meeting allowed Mu Chenyan to relax as well. She could finally set her heart at ease.

Suddenly the topic of conversation shifted to Raelle and Shui Xian's wedding...

"I actually wanted to hold a grand wedding ceremony for you both but your grandfather said you won't like it," stated Shui Koshing.

"That'd be troublesome," was Raelle's reply. "Why bother going through all that trouble? We can save money, effort, and time by just registering the marriage."

"Elle..."

Raelle looked at Mu Chenyan and asked innocently, "What? Did I say something wrong?"

Shui Koshing chuckled at her response and said, "Actually, you didn't. You're right. It'd be too much of a hassle." Shui Koshing looked at Grandfather Xiang who was rubbing his temples. It seemed like she was exactly as he was told about her. This made him feel eager to see how the relationship between Raelle and Xian would evolve.

As a father, he only wanted his son's happiness. And he had a feeling, Raelle was that incredible dose of happiness that had been missing from Xian's life.

"Koshing, don't encourage her," said Grandfather Xiang in a low voice. He looked at his granddaughter and went on, "And Poppet, just because you got out of the wedding ceremony doesn't mean we won't be holding a reception."

"Oh," was her dry response. "Is it necessary though?"

"You don't have to think about it for now," said Shui Koshing. "We'll hold the reception after a month or so. In the meantime, it's better that you both try to spend more and more time together."

"Spend time together?" repeated Raelle as she looked at Shui Xian whose eyes were already fixed on her face.

"We know you both are very busy," started Shui Koshing. "So, planning a long honeymoon might be difficult. But it's the weekend which means you can definitely go for a small getaway. Right?"

While Shui Xian was thinking, she'd have some issues with this suggestion, Raelle enthusiastically said, "Where? I mean where can we go? Since we can't go far, how about some interesting place in the city or close to the city? I actually haven't seen anything here apart from my office building."

Shui Xian lowered his voice and whispered close to her ear, "Do you even know what a honeymoon means?"

She nodded her head, "Hubby, what do you take me for?" Shui Xian was stunned by that one 'hubby' while she went on, "Honeymoon is a holiday spent together by a newly married couple."

Shui Xian suddenly lifted his hand and patted her head saying, "Wife, you're really good at textbook definitions." For some reason, his hand lingered on the top of her head longer than it was necessary.

"I know," she replied with her ever so brilliant but fake smile.

Seeing their interaction, it took a moment for Shui Koshing to remember what he originally was talking about. Clearing his throat to get their attention, he asked, "So, where would my daughter like to go? I'll make the arrangements."

"Anything is fine by me," said Raelle in reply.

"If you have a specific place in mind, you can share it with me."

Raelle shook her head, "I don't."

Shui Koshing nodded his head, "That's great then."

Shui Xian looked at his father's excitement and smiling face and felt like time had turned back. Since the death of his mother, he had rarely seen his father smiling like this. His happiness could even be seen in his eyes. It really made him feel happy. Since the original purpose of marrying Raelle was to make his father happy, he was content to see that it worked.

When the dinner ended, Mu Chenyan hugged Raelle tightly and sniffled.

"Yanyan, I'm not dying."

Mu Chenyan hit her arm while glaring at her, "How many times have I warned you to not say such words casually?"

Raelle looked at her worried face and was at a loss. She really couldn't tell why her Yanyan was crying but since she was, she could only comfort her in her own way. Hugging back, she said, "I meant to say that I'm still in the same city. Just one phone call away. So, don't waste your precious tears. What if you get dehydrated?"

Mu Chenyan took a deep breath and even forgot to cry. She caressed Raelle's head and said, "Missy, now you're married. And as a wife, you'll have some responsibilities. But never forget, before anything else, it's your job to take care of your husband's needs."

"Take care of him?" questioned Raelle. "What is he? A kid? Can't he take care of himself?"

"I'm gonna slap you if you said such nonsense before your husband as well," warned Mu Chenyan. But even Raelle knew that she didn't have it in her to even put a scratch on her.

Raelle deadpanned, "Isn't it a little late for you to tell me this? I think I've already said enough nonsense before him."

Mu Chenyan held her forehead and cried, "Goodness, gracious! What am I to do with you?"

Raelle patted her back, "At this point, you really can't do anything."
