Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 343 - It's A Blind Date



She came to the restaurant and dropped her phone in her bag. If possible, she would like to forget about this phone for a while. 

"Miss, do you have a reservation?"

Cloe nodded her head, "Soren Ke." She told the name since the reservation was made by Soren. As he had said to her, all she had to do was to show up. And she followed his words. 

The smile on the attendant's face deepened as she nodded and directed her towards the third floor. The attendant opened the door of the private room and respectfully bowed before leaving. 

Cloe walked inside the room and was taken aback by the person sitting inside. Cui Xukun almost knocked on his chair as he tried to stand up to greet her. He looked a bit clumsy which made Cloe's lips twitch a little but she held herself back from laughing. 

Cloe looked at the room once again before asking, "Soren sent you here, right?"

Cui Xukun was still in a daze or more like a shock as he nodded his head in reply. Once Cloe got that answer, she raised her brow slightly in wonder. What are the chances? She actually met her blind date even before the blind date. 

She walked inside and gracefully sat down before Cui Xukun who was still standing and whose eyes were glued to her. Cloe could actually tell that he was very shocked to see her here. She didn't know why was that though? 

Indeed, Cui Xukun was really not himself right now. Never even in his wildest dreams did he expect to meet Cloe on this blind date. His brother-in-law, Soren asked him to go on a date with a friend of his. He was not ready for it. Since he saw Cloe with his friend, Shui Xian, he had been in the mood for nothing. 

Seeing Cloe at the hospital the other day, he was already happy but he knew he was hopeless. The reason why he was mad at his nephew, Samuel was because he already had no hope. And seeing how Samuel pulled a prank on him, his inner feelings got the best of him and he scolded his nephew. 

"Are you planning to stand there?" Cloe voiced out her question since he was still standing like a statue even after five minutes. 

Cui Xukun snapped out of it when he heard her voice and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to disrespect you. Trust me, that was not the intention."

Cloe pushed a glass of water in front of him, "Have some water and calm down first." Although he was really clumsy, Cloe was really amused by the way he was acting. It had been a while for her to see someone so flustered. She was always surrounded by perfectionists since Raelle could even transform even the clumsiest people into professionals. This change was quite refreshing to her.

"Let me introduce myself first," said Cloe. "I'm Cloe Jones."

"Cui Xukun," he replied. "Nice to meet you." He lowered his eyes and frowned to himself thinking about why Cloe was here and couldn't help asking, "Did my brother-in-law... I mean Soren really sent you for this blind date?"

"Is anyone else coming?" she inquired. "I didn't get the memo though."

Cui Xukun shook his head, "No, that's not what I mean. I just..." He didn't know how to say it. "I just didn't expect you'll be my blind date."

"You're not happy with that?" she asked as she perched her face on her hand.

"No, no! I am really happy to see you here," he answered hurriedly. Cloe's eyes widened a little when he said it like that. Realizing what he just said, Cui Xukun bit down his tongue. What the hell was he even saying?! Was he a teenager? How could he stutter before the person he had a crush on? He really thought he grew out of that stage but apparently, he was only fooling himself. "Actually, it's just that... Aren't you with Shui Xian? That's why I'm surprised to see you here."

If Cloe had been drinking the water, she would have spurted it out at his face for saying that. What the fuck?! When did she get together with Master Xian? Wouldn't Raelle Xiang murder her even if her name came in the same sentence as her husband? Cloe shuddered at the thought.

"Stop right there!" She leaned back in her chair and asked, "When did I get together with Master Xian? And how come even I don't know that? Besides, do you hate me so much?"

"I don't hate you," was the first thing he said. 

"If you don't hate me, why would you wish for my death?" she added. "Attaching my name with Master Xian is like a death sentence for me." She took a deep breath, "Seriously, what made you think I'm with Master Xian?"

"I saw you both together," he answered truthfully. "Outside your apartment building. He was giving you a water bottle."

Cloe recalled that night and almost spewed out blood. That was the first time she learned about her Chief's husband's identity. She clearly remembered that night. Every single detail was etched into her brain. So when he said that, everything came rushing back to her.

"Do you know that Master Xian is married?" asked Cloe.

Cui Xukun nodded his head, "Yes, he told me that."

"And he didn't tell you who his wife is?"

Cui Xukun shook his head, "He didn't say that."

"If he didn't say it doesn't mean you should just assume anything," she said to him. "His wife is my boss. If she learned that someone attached her husband's name with mine, she'll kill me." Okay, she agreed that Raelle won't go that far but still... She really had no faith in Raelle Xiang. After all, she was all too well familiar with Raelle's protectiveness. 

If she claimed something as hers, she'd never let another person look at that thing. And currently, they were talking about not something but someone and someone happened to be her husband! The consequences couldn't even be imagined!
