"Did I say something wrong?" Raelle finally decided to just ask. There were plenty of things she didn't understand. Most of the time when she thought she was speaking the right thing, people would still take it in the wrong direction. So, she had to confirm it with him.
Shui Xian shook his head, "Not at all." He walked up to her and added, "You didn't say anything wrong. In fact, I was just feeling touched by what you said. My wife is worried that I'll tire myself out. How can I not be touched?" He placed a hand on her head and went on, "Also, you should stop being so careful with me. Throw the caution out of the window. It's not needed in our relationship. Say whatever you want. Even if it's hurtful, I won't mind."
"Why?" Raelle blinked at him. "Why won't you mind it even if it's hurtful?"
"Because I know that's not your intention," he told her with a doting look in his eyes. He passed her the apron saying, "Now, help me with this."
Raelle looked at the apron he held in his hand and took it. He lowered his head to make it easy for her put the apron on him. Then he stood straight and even turned around thoughtfully to let her tie the apron.
He was pleased with his own ideas. Wearing the apron on your own was different but when she helped him with this simple task, he felt like this simple thing became quite special.
"Alrighty! I'm all ready to begin now," announced Shui Xian. "So, I was thinking how about some Strip Steak with Lemon Mashed Potatoes? And we can also add Pasta with Sautéed Peppers, Zucchini, and Smoked Mozzarella? Also..."
Raelle placed her hand on his mouth to stop him, "I think that's enough. How long will it take?"
"These two dishes are so easy, I'll be done in 30 minutes max," said Shui Xian. "So, let's add a soup?" He especially decided to cook something simple and quick as per her wishes. Although he won't get to show off his special taste, it'd be enough for now.
"No, I don't eat that much anyway," said Raelle. "There are only two of us here. I don't even know where you sent my security team."
"They are at a safe place and they aren't that far from here either. They'd be provided with meals. Ma Jin is staying with them to make sure they get whatever is needed."
"Then do you need any help?" asked Raelle. "Although I don't think I'll be of any help, I'll try to learn."
Shui Xian pushed her out of the kitchen saying, "Sweetheart, there is no way I'm letting you stay here. You are still not allowed to enter the kitchen just as Grandfather Xiang has set the rule. This rule isn't changing. So, leave it all to me."
"Oh..." Raelle was literally thrown out of the kitchen. She could only roam around the house on her own. She walked around and came to stand before the viewing glass windows. One could get the view of the lake from here. Since the sun had already set by now, she couldn't see the lake that clearly. But the way the moonlight fell on the surface of the lake was really enchanting.
She spent some time there enjoying the view but soon thought of another view and went back to the kitchen. She didn't enter this time, just leaned against the doorframe and set her eyes on Shui Xian's figure. His hair laid lazily on his forehead and his eyes were focused on the cutting board. His big hand held the kitchen knife as he continued to cut the vegetables with speedy 'tuk tuk tuk'!
His sleeves were rolled up and one could see the veins of his forearm clearly.
The other day she had Cloe she didn't know whether Soren looked handsome while cooking or not but she was certain now that she found this concentrated look of her husband to be quite dashing. There was no doubt about it. The beauty standard in her brain was set on Shui Xian. How would she find anyone else eye-catching when all her attention was on this man? This man who happened to be her husband!
Do you know what that meant?
It meant that she had the right to look at this man without being mistaken for a pervert!
What they say, when you see something beautiful, snap a photo!
Raelle ended up doing the exact same thing. There was a beauty before her eyes, how could she resist capturing this beauty with her phone's camera but no matter how skilled she was at photography, she for the first time felt like a photo wasn't doing her husband justice. She'd just capture this beauty in the database of her brain then.
After contemplating over it, she still didn't really delete the photo she clicked. But instead, set it as her lock screen photo. She did it because Shui Xian was using her photo as well. She thought it was only right if she did the same, no?
Actually, Shui Xian could feel her presence. Although he was concentrated, he could still perceive her presence. However, he seemed to be enjoying the way her eyes were only set on him. How could he dare to stop her from staring?
"When you're done looking, you can leave," Raelle heard Shui Xian's voice.
"I won't enter," Raelle reassured. "I'll just stay at the door."
Shui Xian lifted his head to look at her and Raelle met his gaze, head-on.
"Do I still have to leave?"
"You don't want to?" asked Shui Xian.
"No, I don't want to," she answered. "I like the view." She told honestly without any embarrassment. It wasn't the first time she said something like this to him but the effect was all the same even now. "I won't bother you. Just giving you some company."
Shui Xian shook his head and let her be.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
