Chapter 1070: Just RocksHyson was silent for a moment as he pursed his lips thoughtfully and eventually asked, "Is it really complicated though?"
Ru looked into his curious eyes and replied, "Things we find complicated are only complicated because we don't wanna get tangled up in this complexity while trying to uncomplicate things."
"You too?"
"I'm also just a human," said Ru. "Sometimes this young master wants to run from things."
"You don't look like a runner," commented Hyson.
Ru's green eyes flashed with light as a smirk appeared on his lips and he said, "This young master isn't a runner. But you can't always win a confrontation. Especially if you're challenging fate."
"Here I thought you'd be quite excited about challenging fate."
"You don't know me," said Ru. "All my life, all I did was challenge fate. In the end, I got tired and just accepted the reality."
Hyson thought he understood it but at the same time, he thought he didn't understand at all. Anyway, since he found Ru here unexpectedly, he continued to follow this young master around.
...
Shui Xian finally ran into the room and when he saw Raelle, he could finally breathe in peace. Raelle saw him enter and continued to look at him carefully. She had actually heard everything that happened outside. She already could feel the urgency in Shui Xian's voice when he asked Hyson to just let him in and Raelle couldn't understand it.
But when she heard Ru's voice, she realized that things were wrong.
Raelle looked at Cloe who took the hint and left the room. Raelle looked back at Shui Xian and opened her mouth to say something but before she could say anything, Shui Xian hugged her tightly.
Raelle didn't know what happened but she could feel Shui Xian's body loosening up once he hugged her. It showed that he had been quite tense all this while. He inhaled the scent that belonged to her only and his brain finally relaxed.
Since he didn't speak, Raelle didn't say anything either. She just lifted her hand and stroked his back slowly in a soothing motion.
"Did you miss me so much?" asked Raelle.
Shui Xian nodded his head and said in a low voice, "Can you please not ask me to cultivate patience again? You didn't even take my calls. At least, let me hear your voice."
Raelle was at a loss for a split moment when she heard the aggrieved voice of Shui Xian.
"You know how everyone has been laughing at you?" asked Raelle. "Even when I was at home, I was told that my husband is too impatient to see me and seems to be losing his mind."
"I don't care," he replied. "They can all laugh if they want to. But it's our day. Is something wrong with wanting to be with my wife?"
Raelle caressed his face as she said, "No. There is nothing wrong with it." Seeing his condition, Raelle decided to lighten up the mood and change the topic as she said, "You didn't even see my dress. Aren't you gonna compliment me? Did I spend so many hours getting ready all for nothing?"
Shui Xian took a step back and looked at her all over.
Raelle was wearing an azure blue gown. The gown was chosen by Shui Xian. The gauze fabric gave it a dreamy look. There was a belt on her waist studded with real diamonds. There was a slit on the gown that started right from her thigh.
It wasn't a color that she usually wore but it gave her a softer look than usual. Today, she really looked her age. And didn't have the aggressive look of a professional woman who stood at the top of the pyramid. Today, she just looked like a young woman. Even her makeup was done in a softer shade.
Shui Xian could see that Mu Chenyan spent a lot of time on Raelle and was very thoughtful about even the smallest of details.
"You look gorgeous," said Shui Xian. "Breathtaking as always."
Raelle was very used to this compliment from him. Even seeing her in a onesie he'd say the same. He was really just blind in love. But that didn't mean she didn't like hearing these compliments from him. She always thought compliments didn't really matter and she didn't care all that much. Because she was confident in herself and knew she looked great.
But the compliments from him were really different.
"But something is missing," said Shui Xian.
He raised his finger, "Give me a minute." He ran outside and came back soon after. He placed the box on the side and opened it. He took out the sapphire necklace from the box and put it around her neck.
"I chose it with Yanyan," he told her. "It was in someone's personal collection so I had to spend quite some effort into buying it. That's why I just received it." Money wasn't an issue. It was truly difficult to buy things from the collectors. But when he told that female collector that he wanted it for his wife and seeing how sincere he was, he actually managed to get it.
Of course, Shui Xian was feeling smug about it since even Mu Chenyan couldn't convince the collector to sell this necklace. Hehehe. It meant he won over Mu Chenyan for once. It felt actually good that he did it on his own while Mu Chenyan couldn't.
"How is it?" he asked her.
Raelle looked in the mirror and nodded her head, "It's beautiful."
"It definitely looks better on you," said Shui Xian. "On its own, it was just a few pieces of shiny rocks that looked beautiful. But on your snow-white neck, it's like you breathed life into it and brought out these rocks' beauty and turned them into priceless gems..."
"Stop," said Raelle. "Are you gonna write an essay now?"
"I can write an essay if you want me to," he replied. "By wife is so beautiful. Of course, words would not be enough to describe your beauty but I can still try to do my best."
"You should really stop," said Raelle once again. "I don't want you to write an essay." She took a pause, "I was thinking why Yanyan didn't put jewelry on me. Now, I know. You both already had it planned out." She took his hand into her own and sat down with him as she said, "Let's sit here and wait. We are in no hurry to go out."
"Hmm..." Shui Xian hummed with a smile as he continued to look at her and he intertwined his fingers with hers tightly.
Raelle looked at their interlocked hands and asked, "Are the guests here?"
"Not yet," replied Shui Xian. "For now, only the family members are gathering," he replied. "They were asking me to stand at the door to welcome the guests. I refused. Why should do it?"
"You did good," said Raelle. "My hubby doesn't have to welcome anyone." She thought about something and asked, "So who is here?"
"I'm not sure," answered Shui Xian sheepishly. "I only saw Xukun and Yanjun. Oh, and Cloe too. I don't know who else came as of yet."
"Then what were you doing?" asked Raelle.
"Of course, I was waiting for you," he said. "That was the most important to me."
Raelle shook her head at him saying, "You shouldn't spend so much time on me."
"I can't help it," he said. Then he asked, "Baby, are you nervous?"
???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????
"Why would I be?" she asked in return. "I don't know what nervousness is. Besides, we are already married. These are all just formalities. Why do you keep forgetting that?"
"I didn't forget any of that," he said. "It's just that... I'm still a little nervous. What if I messed up? What if I embarrassed you?"
"It's okay. Even if you messed up, I still want only you. You won't be embarrassing me at all. No matter what you do, you'd still be my husband," she told him. "It's not if you messed up, I'll walk out that I'm not marrying this embarrassing guy."
"Would you?"
Raelle gave him a look, "Hubby! Are you okay? I can't walk out. We are legally married."
"So, you mean if you could, you'd actually walk out?"
"If you continued to ask these questions, I'm gonna make you wait outside again," said Raelle.
Shui Xian instantly stopped talking about it, "I won't. I won't. I promise I won't. Don't send me out. I want to stay here. If you want, I'll just sit in one corner but I refuse to go out again. No one lets me in once I go out. I don't like that." Thinking of something, he asked, "You also didn't want me to come inside, right?"
"What? What makes you think that?"
"You created that puzzle that Hyson asked me to solve," said Shui Xian. "You definitely didn't want me to enter that easily."
"It's true that I created that puzzle but it wasn't for you," she told him. "Believe me, it was not my intention to hold you outside. These tricks can't come from me. You should already know."

Ru looked into his curious eyes and replied, "Things we find complicated are only complicated because we don't wanna get tangled up in this complexity while trying to uncomplicate things."

"You don't look like a runner," commented Hyson.

"Here I thought you'd be quite excited about challenging fate."
"You don't know me," said Ru. "All my life, all I did was challenge fate. In the end, I got tired and just accepted the reality."
