Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 141 - Extra Special



When Shui Xian came back home in the evening, he met his father reading a book in the lounge while a beautiful soft melody played in the background. Today, he had taken an early leave to come home and wait for his wife. Usually, Raelle would come home before him because her office building was closer to the house.

Seeing his son home, Shui Koshing smiled widely, "Oh my! Is it really my son?"

"Why? You have a doubt?" asked Shui Xian as he loosened his tie and rolled his sleeve slightly. 

"I do," was Shui Koshing's response. "Because my son barely knew the way to home. As for the one before me right now, he is definitely Raelle's husband."

Shui Xian shook his head at his father, "Bà, are you making fun of your son now?"

Shui Koshing laughed heartily. And seeing that, Shui Xian was genuinely happy. He didn't know but from the time he married Raelle, he could see his father laughing more and more. He looked like he was at peace now. 

"Have any plans with our Raelle?" asked Shui Koshing and seeing how his son shook his head, he frowned slightly. "Really? Then why did you come home so early?"

"I just wanted to," replied Shui Xian. "Why? Can't I wait for my wife?"

"No, you can," said Shui Koshing. "But I was hoping you'd come late." Shui Xian raised his brow as his father went on, "I was expecting to spend some time with my daughter."

Shui Xian gave his father a look, "You mean, you wanted to play video games with her?"

Shui Koshing cleared his throat and smiled at his son sheepishly since he couldn't refute it. He had been expecting that but he didn't want to disturb the newlyweds either. 

"Forget it, it's better if you guys spend more and more time together," said Shui Koshing.

It had been a while since Shui Xian sat down to talk to his father, so he didn't hurry to go upstairs. So, both father and son spent some time discussing random things.

"Xian," called out Shui Koshing. 

"Yes?"

"Are you happy?" 

Shui Xian looked at his father, "Bà, you've been asking me the same question every day lately." He took a pause and added, "Do you feel exhilarated when I say I am happy?"

"I do," replied Shui Koshing. "Whenever you say, you're happy I feel like I've accomplished something big in life. It feels like I fulfilled my life's purpose." 

  "Stop asking the same question," said Shui Xian. "Can't you see it yourself that I'm happy?"

Shui Koshing decided not to continue this topic and asked, "I heard you met Yanjun the other night. Uncle Yang and his wife called me to say congratulations. Also, they said they'd be visiting this weekend. So, make sure you and Raelle are home this Saturday."

"Alright," replied Shui Xian.

"When are you planning to announce your marriage?" asked Shui Koshing.

"It's up to my wife," said Shui Xian. "I'm okay with whatever she decides."

Shui Koshing gave a knowing smile as he said, "Aiyo, my son is already wrapped around his wife's fingers."

"You can stop teasing me," was Shui Xian's response. "I'm not the only one in the marriage. She is the other half of this marriage. That's why her opinion matters as much as mine does. I can't make any decision on my own when it involves both of us."

Shui Koshing's smile became obvious as he said, "Son, you've grown up."

Shui Xian frowned at his father, "You repeatedly reminded me that I'm turning 30 and I should focus on building a family. How come you only realized that I've grown up?"

"Age has nothing to do with maturity," said Shui Koshing. "Raelle is five years younger than you and yet, she might be more mature than you."

Shui Xian smiled at his father, "Actually, you're right. Raelle has a childlike innocence but she is quite mature."

"Good evening, Bà," came Raelle's voice. "Oh, Hubby!" she called out as she found Shui Xian in the lounge as well. Every day, she would always greet Shui Koshing first thing after coming back home. Who knew today, she'd find her husband here as well.

  "My daughter is home," said Shui Koshing excitedly. "Look, your husband is waiting for you today."

Raelle also came to sit with them. She looked at Shui Xian and asked, "How come you're back early today?"

"Since you always wait for me, today I decided to wait for you," replied Shui Xian without hesitation.

Raelle nodded in reply, "It's good to see you home." Then she leaned against him naturally. His hand was draped over the backrest of the sofa but it slowly shifted over her shoulder as he allowed her to find a comfortable place to lean in.

Shui Xian smiled at her and touched her ears gently as he said, "I didn't know you'd feel this good to see me home. Seems like I should come home earlier than you to welcome you."

"It won't feel good every day," she replied straightforwardly. 

Shui Koshing chuckled at her response while Shui Xian was left shaking his head at his wife. 

"Elle, how was your day?" asked Shui Koshing.

"It was fine," replied Raelle. "Nothing special."

Shui Xian stared at her, "We had lunch together. Wasn't that special?"

"It was just lunch," she replied frankly. "Was it supposed to be special?"

Shui Xian narrowed his eyes at her, "Something is wrong with my brain to actually feel like it was special." He was really cursing himself inwardly to feel touched over something she did so randomly! 

"But it was just lunch," Raelle responded. 

Suddenly Shui Xian thought of something and his eyes lit up. "Wife, aren't you special?"

"I am," she replied.

"Didn't you say that since I'm your husband, I'm also special?"

"I did."

"Then since two special people had lunch together, doesn't that count as special as well?" 

Raelle stared at him for a minute in silence before she said, "I think you're trying to fool me." Shui Xian pressed his lips together. "But I don't mind it. Because I also want to agree with you that the lunch was extra special today for some reason. Maybe it was because I shared it with you."

Shui Koshing cleared his throat as he stood up saying, "I should really take my leave before my face cramps up from smiling so much."
