As Shui Xian got ready to leave, he walked towards the door but after only a step, he stopped. Looking back at Raelle, he said, "Then, I'm leaving now."
"Okay," said Raelle.
He took another step further before stopping to look back at her yet again to say, "I'm really going."
"Okay," responded Raelle yet again in the same way.
He wilted like a flower before he stepped over to the door. His hand was placed on the doorknob but before twisting it open, he turned his head back to look at Raelle and saying, "I'm almost gone."
"Okay," Raelle didn't know how else she could reply to him.
His unwillingness to leave was so obvious that even an oblivious person like Raelle could feel it. But she really didn't know how to respond in this situation. After all, this was so new to her. If one had to go to work, what could she do about it? According to her understanding, one should work diligently.
Shui Xian stepped out the door but before the door behind him could close, he pushed it open and grinned at her, "I'm gone!"
Raelle felt like the corner of her lips was twitching at seeing him acting like this. What was her husband up to exactly?
"Hubby, do you know what's happening right now?" asked Raelle as she crossed her arms against her chest and looked straight at him with deep eyes.
"What?" inquired Shui Xian curiously.
"Your image in my mind is collapsing," said Raelle.
Shui Xian pressed his lips together but couldn't help himself from chuckling. "Wifey, it took so long for that? I thought my image already collapsed from the time we came back from our impromptu honeymoon."
"I was holding on to the image of yours people talked about. After all, you got quite some reputation in the circle but now, I have no way to accept that reputation," said Raelle in all seriousness.
"This is all your fault," grumbled Shui Xian. "Originally, I was true to the reputation I have but since you walked into my life, I'm in a mess. Right now, my only mission is my wife. Why would I care about something like keeping an image?"
"Are you going or not?"
Shui Xian's shoulders slumped down as he nodded, "I'm going."
Raelle looked at the closed door with a thoughtful look. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. She walked over to open the door. There was no one standing outside. She was about to look sideways when suddenly her vision blanked and soft but cold lips were pressed against hers.
Just with the scent of the cologne, she knew who it was. Apparently, it was really not easy to send Shui Xian off to work today. He again came back to cause trouble like this. He held her against his chest and kissed her deeply. As he pulled away, he looked pleased with himself.
"Can you taste it?" he asked.
"What am I supposed to taste?"
"My yearning for you," said Shui Xian cheesily.
"I can't taste that," replied Raelle seriously.
Shui Xian tsked at that. "How can you say that?" Shaking his head, he said, "But it's okay. I have plenty of time to make you understand this taste."
"Did you just come back for this?" asked Raelle.
"Nope," said Shui Xian. "I forgot to tell you something."
"What?" inquired Raelle.
"I've been meaning to say it since I saw you," added Shui Xian.
"What?"
"Do you know?" he further added annoyingly.
But Raelle patiently and calmly continued to ask, "What?"
"I missed you," he told her as his lips pressed on her forehead. "Just now when you opened the door for me, I really felt happy. And it's because that I missed you so much that I've been acting so strange. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Not really," answered Raelle honestly. "But it doesn't matter. I felt good to hear it."
"You felt good?" Raelle nodded her head. "Then that's all that really matters." He played with a strand of her hair and added, "It's the first time in my life I'm being so clingy to someone. I honestly can't even understand myself right now."
"I don't mind," said Raelle.
"And what if you got tired of me being like this?" asked Shui Xian.
"I know myself," she told him. "I don't have a habit of getting tired of things I like."
"Does that mean you like me?" he asked cheekily.
"Yes," accepted Raelle straightforwardly that left Shui Xian in a daze.
He cursed under his breath and said, "I better leave, or else I'm never gonna be able to leave."
Raelle turned him around and gave him a push, "You should really leave."
Shui Xian sighed heavily and walked away but even when until he reached the elevator, he kept turning his head back to look at her. And seeing her still standing at the door, looking at him he was pretty satisfied. He felt like he was floating high up in the sky.
Outside of the hotel, the people he was supposed to meet today were asking his assistant Ma Jin, "Assistant Ma, when is Master Xian coming?"
"He'll be here soon," answered Ma Jin while cursing his luck.
"Why don't you give him a call as a reminder," suggested one of the middle-aged men with a beer belly.
Ma Jin shuddered when he heard that. He could still remember the chill that Shui Xian left on him with his eyes earlier. He didn't dare to try to call him and rushing him to come down. He still wanted to live a few more days, thank you very much!
Thankfully, Shui Xian didn't put him in a difficult situation and soon joined them downstairs. But when everyone looked at the radiant look on his face, they were startled. Today's Master Xian was a whole different story. He was beaming while whistling a random tune. For once, he looked like a young man.
Or else, even these middle-aged men had been wondering if there lived an old soul in this young body. Even they didn't dare talk rashly with Shui Xian because of his strong and chilly momentum. And in the past two weeks, he looked like he was brooding. Especially when the days of work here were extending it looked like a strong pressure from him was trying to crush everyone.
There was no one in as much hurry to get work done around here as Shui Xian and every single one of them had already noticed this point.
"Master Xian, you're here," a middle-aged man stepped up to greet him with a polite smile. "You look in a good mood."
"Oh, is it that obvious?" inquired Shui Xian not even trying to hide his happiness.
Ma Jin was in shock at the side. He could still remember the brooding air around Shui Xian but now his boss was like stepping on clouds. He looked so happy and bright that it even hurt Ma Jin's eyes.
"I wonder if something good happened to Master Xian," asked another middle-aged man from the side.
"That's true. Something really good happened," told Shui Xian.
"What is it?" They couldn't hide their curiosity.
"My wife came to give me a surprise," said Shui Xian proudly. "She even didn't care about the rain and ran over to see me. How can I not be happy?"
All of them felt like they ate lemons. They felt sour! And it also felt like Shui Xian was deliberately shoving these lemons down their throats. How evil!
"Doesn't it seem like Master Xian is showing off right now?" Two of the people in the group whispered in a low voice.
"He is actually showing off," agreed the other person.
"I never knew he had such a childish side to him," said the first person.
"Isn't it good? He is still in his twenties. He should have some youthful side to him," responded the other person. Recalling something, he looked shocked, "But wait! When did Master Xian got married? Did you hear anything about that?"
"No," the other one also shook his head. It was such a piece of huge news how come they missed it? He thought of something and added, "Maybe he isn't really married. You know how young couples nowadays like to call each other husband and wife. It must be just his girlfriend."
"That's also possible," he agreed to that statement.
They knew Shui Xian's marriage was a huge deal. It couldn't have been so silent if he really got married but they didn't know that it wasn't difficult for Shui Xian's wife, Raelle Xiang to make sure everything stays quiet for as long as she wants.
Shui Xian wasn't aware of these speculations and even if he did, he wouldn't care. If anything, if he heard them speculate that he wasn't married he might have corrected them. Because for some reason, lately, he wanted to scream to the world that he married Raelle Xiang. How could he miss a chance to show off his perfect wife?
