"There is no meaning other than the one you understood," saying that Shui Xian entered the bathroom to avoid answering her but he really was forgetting who his wife was. Because Raelle followed him even inside the bathroom without any care.
Raelle trapped him against the basin and said, "Then why do I think there was another meaning behind those seemingly simple words?" She took a pause and went on, "If you won't answer, I'll have to look for someone who is willing to make me understand."
Shui Xian held her shoulders and tried to look for the right words. "Mmm... Save water and save time means he suggested we should take a bath together."
"Oh!" Raelle had a look of understanding. "That's actually a good idea."
Shui Xian's face wrinkled as he said, "Why am I not even surprised at this point?" He turned her around as he tried to send her out of the bathroom saying, "As I said earlier, we are not doing it!"
"But why?" she asked as she tried to look at his face.
Shui Xian sent her out the door and held the door saying, "Because if we took a bath together, we are not gonna be able to save either water or time!" With that, he closed the door leaving her out. And this time, he locked the door as well. He leaned against the door and sighed out, "Is it just my wife or the younger generation is becoming brazen?"
"It's alright!" he heard her voice from the other side of the door. "We can do it together another time."
Shui Xian shook his head with his lips curved up in a small smile as he walked over to the mirror. As he looked at his reflection, he facepalmed himself, "There is nothing wrong with her. She is my wife already. She definitely doesn't need to act coy to catch my attention."
....
When Shui Koshing went back to Grandfather Xiang's place, he was still beaming from ear to ear. He could finally die in peace now. There was nothing that could make him happier than seeing his son's smile finding its way back to him. And knowing that Raelle was the person behind that smile was just like the cherry on top.
"Where are they?" asked Grandfather Xiang when he noticed that Shui Koshing had come back alone.
"They are coming in a while," replied Shui Koshing as he sat down beside him.
Grandfather Xiang asked the servants to set the table for dinner. "Why do you look so happy all of sudden?"
Shui Koshing didn't hide his happiness as he replied, "You'll know in a minute."
Grandfather Xiang eyed him doubtfully. But soon, he found the answer indeed. Because when he saw Raelle and Xian entering the house hand-in-hand, even his eyes couldn't help showing the happiness he felt in his heart.
"Opa, where is Yanyan?" asked Raelle. "Bà said she isn't coming home tonight. Is that true?"
Grandfather Xiang nodded his head, "Yes, she is gonna spend the night with her only friend."
"I know she went to meet Yue, but I didn't think she'd want to stay over for the night," stated Raelle.
Grandfather Xiang snickered, "She must have caused a blunder. So, obviously, she'd try her best to hide it from me now." He was very clear about Mu Chenyan's personality. There was no way he was willing to believe that she just felt like spending a night over at Mother Yue's house out of the blue.
"You think something happened?" inquired Raelle.
"Either she did something or she is about to do something," replied Grandfather Xiang.
"But what can she do?" was Raelle's question.
"Obviously, drink till she drops," muttered Grandfather Xiang under his breath. Raelle eyed him suspiciously and he said, "Let her do what she wants to do. At the very least, she is willing to step out of the house after decades. That's more than enough for me."
"That makes sense," agreed Raelle. "As long as she is happy."
When the servants brought the dishes to the table, Grandfather Xiang said, "Elle, serve Xian some food."
Raelle pointed at herself, "Me?"
"Who else?" retorted Grandfather Xiang.
"I have never even served food for myself," said Raelle.
"Whose husband is he?" asked Grandfather Xiang patiently.
"Mine," replied Raelle without missing a beat.
"Then who should be taking care of his needs?"
Raelle thought about it before answering, "Me?"
"Touché!"
Shui Xian looked at their interaction in silence as he was being amused by Raelle's reactions. But when he saw her trying to extend her hand towards the ladle, he held her hand and said, "I can do it myself."
Raelle looked at him, "Didn't you hear my grandfather? He said it's my job to take care of you as your wife."
Shui Xian patted her hand saying, "And it's my job to take care of you as your husband. So, let me do my job."
Raelle instantly leaned back in her chair and held up the empty bowl to him. Shui Xian took the bowl from her hands and ladled some soup for her before he placed the bowl before her.
But seeing how she picked up the spoon to drink the soup, he had to stop her again saying, "Don't rush it. It's still very hot."
"Oh..." responded Raelle.
Both Grandfather Xiang and Shui Koshing's eyes were focused on these newlyweds. However, Shui Xian was focused on serving side dishes to Raelle as he watched her eat before he started eating himself.
