"No," came Raelle's straightforward answer. She skimmed through the racks of clothing and pulled out another outfit for him. "Try this one."
Shui Xian took it from her and went back inside the changing room to change without any complaints. He had been doing it for an hour now. Although he was tired, he was resistant at all. Well, he couldn't possibly bring himself to be resistant to what she wanted.
Raelle went around the whole store looking for clothes that would catch her eyes.
"How about this?"
Raelle turned around to look at Shui Xian and observed him from head to toe before shaking her head, "It's good but not really."
Shui Xian came over to her side, "Baby, shouldn't you be saying 'everything looks good on you, hubby'?"
Raelle glanced at him, "I don't lie."
The shop attendant following them, lowered her head to purse her lips to hide her smile. She had been following this couple since the time they walked in and she had to say, it was quite an experience.
Shui Xian sighed out, "But it's a white lie to make your husband happy."
"A lie is a lie," she replied. "Black or white, doesn't really matter."
"But a white lie is the one that doesn't necessarily hurt people," he argued. "It's just to give me a moment's happiness."
"Why should we build a building of happiness that can come tumbling down with just a single truth?"
"That's deep," mumbled the shop attendant in a low voice. However, both Raelle and Shui Xian heard her voice. Noticing their gazes set on her, she immediately bowed, "Sorry!"
Raelle didn't pursue this as she looked back at Shui Xian, "Since I'm the one buying here, it's my choice."
Shui Xian gaped at her, "Wifey, I'm the one who is gonna wear it."
"But I'm the one who is gonna see you wearing it," she retorted. And before he could continue, she added, "What? Are you gonna see what you're wearing all day? No! It's my eyes who are gonna be focused on you. So, I'd like you to wear what my eyes find likable."
Shui Xian wanted to refute but he couldn't do it. There was no chance. She was telling the truth. The only time he was gonna look at himself was when he looked at the mirror. His shoulders slumped down a little. He really wasn't born to win in a battle with his wife. Suddenly, he recalled something, "Wife, did you just say you're buying everything for me?"
Raelle nodded her head, "Didn't you notice earlier? I paid with my own card."
"Not with the one I gave you?"
Raelle shook her head, "Why would I use your money to buy you clothes? Does that even make sense?"
A smile bloomed on Shui Xian's face, "Wife, I suddenly feel like floating."
"Why?"
"You're buying me clothes!"
Raelle looked at him strangely, "So?"
"That's special!"
"How?" She asked. "Isn't it normal?"
Shui Xian went over and flicked her forehead but he did it softly, "How am I supposed to make you understand that it's special? Just know that since I said it, it's special. It's extremely special!"
"Oh-okay," she answered. Although she really didn't understand what it really meant to him, she was willing to just go along with him. As he said, it's special. And if he said it, then so be it!
In the end, Raelle picked up 3 shirts and 2 pairs of pants from this store. As for who would be carrying the bags, of course, that's the job of her bodyguards who followed behind her uniformly today.
Shui Xian felt his feet were really not touching the ground as he happily dragged her around. Raelle found his excessive happiness to be quite strange. So, she asked, "Hubby, are you that happy that I'm spending money on you?"
Shui Xian stopped to look at her and nodded his head with his eyes sparkling brightly. He was really over the moon right now. It wasn't every day someone would pay for him. He was more than capable of buying everything on his own but it was just like Raelle. She also had money but she found the experience of having her own pocket money to be quite novel. He was just like her. She had brought him out shopping. It was a new experience since he wasn't the one paying.
Raelle took in his happiness and pulled out her wallet and offered him a card saying, "Then you can take this."
Shui Xian looked at the card in her hand and raised his brows at her inquisitively.
"Since you like spending money, you can spend it all you want," she said. "This is my bank card."
Shui Xian was stunned before a helpless smile spread on his face, "How much is in it?"
"More than you can spend," she answered honestly.
"Aren't you scared that I might empty your account?" he questioned.
"I can earn it back," she said straightforwardly.
Shui Xian laughed out as he rubbed her head, "How can you be this cute?" He pushed her card back to her saying, "You keep this money safe for now. Who knows what the future holds? What if one day you have to raise your husband with this money?"
"It's okay, I'll raise you well," she said sincerely.
Shui Xian laughed heartily as he pulled her in his arms, "Sweetheart, don't say such things. It makes me want to kiss you so badly."
"Go ahead!" she answered.
"I suddenly don't feel like it," he said out of nowhere.
"Huh?"
"You didn't compliment me earlier," he sulked. "You should say your husband looks good in everything."
Raelle paused for a moment to think before she said, "You look handsome in everything."
Shui Xian gave her an amused look, "You don't even sound sincere. Is it really such a big lie that you can't even make it sound believable?"
"How else am I supposed to say?"
Shui Xian ruffled her hair on purpose and hooked their arms together saying, "Forget it."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"No," came Raelle's straightforward answer. She skimmed through the racks of clothing and pulled out another outfit for him. "Try this one."
