Shui Xian was not even surprised to see that the whole restaurant was actually empty. Except for them, no other diner could be seen. Whenever it was Raelle Xiang booking a place to eat, that place had to be cleared up. Facing this familiar scene, Shui Xian felt like he was one of the protagonists from the Cinderalla stories and was being introduced to the way of the rich and overbearing CEO. In this case, that rich and overbearing CEO was his wife, Raelle!
Shui Xian rubbed his nose as he thought about it. It seemed from the beginning, she was really the one playing the role of the overbearing CEO. Sigh! It seemed he could only just get used to this feeling. Nothing else could be done about it.
Both of them found a seat and settled down. Raelle pushed the menu to him, "Order whatever you want."
Shui Xian thought about how this sounded wrong somehow but shook off this thought. Whatever!
He didn't even glance at the menu and ordered a couple of dishes. Thinking of something, he didn't forget to order a strong wine as well. Don't ask him if he did it on purpose. He'd not agree!
Raelle was neither interested in what food he ordered nor did she care about what kind of wine he asked for. She was still as unbothered with these things as ever. But she did notice how Shui Xian didn't even have to see the menu to know the restaurant's best dishes. It seemed her information was spot on! He did love to eat here.
"So, what happened with your brother?" asked Shui Xian as they waited for the food to be served.
Raelle wasn't surprised that he asked about it. And she didn't try to hide it from him either. She already said she'd tell him later and now that they sat here alone, it was good enough time to share it with him. Therefore, she clearly and concisely told him about the conversation between her and Xiang Weimin.
Shui Xian listened to her attentively and even frowned a couple of times. At the end of it, he suddenly chuckled.
"What's funny, Hubby?" asked Raelle.
"You," he replied.
"Me?" she inquired. "No one would agree with that statement."
"I never needed other's opinion," retorted Shui Xian. "If I say my wife is funny, she is funny!"
"I think your sense of humor is broken," said Raelle certainly.
Shui Xian smiled at her, "I don't mind."
"But on a serious note, what part of my conversation did you find funny?" She seriously didn't think she told him a joke. She hardly even knew any jokes. And all the jokes she had heard in her life had come from Hyson and none managed to impress her. His jokes were really cheap and couldn't possibly get her attention.
"I find it funny how you love to play with words," he stated honestly.
"I play with words?" she repeated.
Shui Xian nodded his head and went on, "You told him that he has no place in your life. But you still told him to find a place in Grandfather Xiang's life?" His brows quirked up in amusement as he continued, "Clearly, your life can't be separated from Grandfather Xiang." Raelle silently listened to him without interrupting. "From this conversation, it seems you meant to tell him that he has no place in your life as your elder brother. But if he tried sincerely, he'd find a place in your life as your Opa's only grandson!"
Raelle looked at him intently and found it interesting how managed to read between the lines. It seemed her husband really was beginning to understand her well. He even managed to tell her thoughts.
What he said was absolutely true. Raelle didn't have a place for an elder brother in life. But being her Opa's grandson was different. He'd find a place in her life. Perhaps, it won't be the one he wanted but it was already a miracle that she was willing to give him a chance to even enter her life at all. And for that, the credit definitely belonged to Hyson.
If that best friend of hers didn't have a high opinion of Xiang Weimin, the latter would have never gotten such a chance from Raelle. He was lucky that he met Hyson before meeting Raelle. Because Hyson indeed had controlling power in Raelle's life. If he directed her to go east, even if she didn't like it, she'd absolutely give it a try to see what was at the east that attracted Hyson.
"You're getting good at it," she praised sincerely.
Shui Xian tapped his nose, "Of course, I'm getting good at it. I have to keep up with my amazing wife." He leaned over and asked curiously, "But I'm suddenly curious baby, do you really like acting like an overbearing CEO?"
"It doesn't feel that bad," she replied.
As their food was served, Shui Xian took her fork and wiped it with a napkin before offering to her with a smirk, "My dear wife, it's a fork. It's used to eat food. It's not a weapon."
Raelle looked at the fork and took it languidly, "If it manages to serve the purpose, it can be anything you want it to be."
Shui Xian couldn't possibly disagree with that. Indeed, even if it was a fork, it served its purpose as a weapon quite well earlier. He couldn't find faults with it.
"My wife really knows how to use something to be best of its capabilities," said Shui Xian helplessly. "What a shame that you missed the target earlier."
"Do you think I really missed?" she asked him seriously.
Shui Xian gave her a sly smile and lowered his voice, "We can't say out our real thoughts so easily."
"This is why I don't say it out loud," said Raelle. "I just act on it."
Shui Xian lowered his eyes and shook his head helplessly at her.. She indeed didn't have to say it out loud. She was better at just going for the action!
