Chapter 463 – Distraction AKA Raelle

"What were you saying?" asked Shui Xian when he walked a little further from the conference room. He found a corner away from the prying eyes even though he knew it didn't matter. Just from the earlier incident, he could already foresee just what kind of discussion was about to ensue in the whole office.

However, he wasn't really concerned. He actually wanted everyone to know that he was married. And not just married! He was married to Raelle Xiang!

"I asked have you seen a blue file of mine?" Raelle repeated her question. When she came back and looked around the room, she still couldn't find it. So, she had to call Shui Xian in the end. "Maybe you took it by mistake. Can you check?"

"Let me see," said Shui Xian and hurriedly walked back to his office. He looked around while asking, "What's in the file?"

"It's a stock market analysis," replied Raelle.

"I don't have it," answered Shui Xian. "Maybe you left it at home?"

"I am at home," said Raelle. "But it's not here."

"You're home?" repeated Shui Xian and pursed his lips. "Where was the last time you saw it?"

"At the table in our room," told Raelle. "Right beside your work files."

Shui Xian recalled what happened in the morning and said sheepishly, "You see, I accidentally dropped everything on the floor in the morning. And while picking up all the files, I might have missed your file. There is a high possibility that it slid under the sofa."

Raelle kneeled down and looked under the sofa. And just as he had said, she really found her file there. "Found it!" she announced.

Shui Xian felt guilty when he heard that, "Babes, I'm sorry!"

"Huh? For what?"

"If I had been paying attention, I wouldn't have missed that file. And you wouldn't have to waste so much time running back to the home."

"Then why were you distracted?"

"The distraction of my life should not be asking me this question," Shui Xian shot back.

"I thought I was your wife," stated Raelle. "When did I become a distraction?"

"Don't even ask," was Shui Xian's response. Did he really have to explain to her how big of a distraction she was? He could hardly concentrate on anything with her around.

Raelle took the file and walked out of the room. 

"You're going back to the office now?" questioned Shui Xian when he heard the sound of the door closing from her side.

"Yes," replied Raelle. "I should get back now. It's gonna take me a little over half an hour to reach the office as well."

Shui Xian's mood dampened as he muttered, "I'm really sorry."

"There is no need for an apology," said Raelle. "It's not like you did it on purpose. And even if you had, it's okay. The least I had to do was make a trip back home. It's really nothing."

"But it certainly wasted your working hours," stated Shui Xian.

"Stop wasting your own time," said Raelle. "I'm hanging up now. Get back to work. I'll talk to you later."

Seeing Raelle coming out of the house, Shui Koshing asked, "Raelle, did you find what you're looking for?"

"Found it," replied Raelle. She looked at the rows of flower pots that were being carried down from a truck and looked at Shui Koshing. "Bà, what are you up to?"

Shui Koshing smiled at her and answered, "I was planning on adding more flowering plants to the front garden. I chose all kinds of beautiful flowers. Once they decorate the front garden, it'll be really beautiful. When you open the window from your room, it'll be a pleasing sight."

Raelle stared at him intently and commented, "You certainly know how to find things to keep yourself busy."

Shui Koshing chuckled, "How can I not? I have worked all my life. It's a bit uncomfortable to not do anything. Besides, you said I should not only read books but also pay attention to myself."

"You're listening to my words?" questioned Raelle.

Shui Koshing went up and touched her head lovingly, "How can I not listen to my daughter?" He pointed at the pots of flowers and asked, "You look at the flowers and tell me, whether you like them or not? If you have any flowers you like, tell me. I'll add it as well."

"I don't mind any flower," answered Raelle. "But I also don't mind having none."

Shui Koshing smiled at her, "If both options are okay, then why not get it rather not?"

Raelle gave him a nod, "If you say so."

"Go back to work," said Shui Koshing. "You must be very busy. Don't pay attention to this old man. I'm just playing around."

"You can play around all you want," replied Raelle.

Shui Koshing was very happy to hear her words, "You mean I'm allowed to be as willful as I want at my age?"

"I believe Xian and I can afford to have a willful old father," were Raelle's words that touched his heart making his lips curl up into a sweet smile.

"Okay, go now!"

"Don't just keep an eye on everything here," advised Raelle. "Have lunch on time."

"Don't worry about my lunch," replied Shui Koshing. "I'm planning on going over to Uncle's place to freeload for lunch. So, there is nothing to worry about."

"Yes, you should go over to Opa's place," agreed Raelle and turned to leave. "Bye, Bà!"

"Bye! Take care of yourself," Shui Koshing waved at her and didn't forget to add, "And you also don't forget to eat your lunch."

Even though he knew that Raelle was disciplined in her life and she never missed out on her meals, he was still a father who had to remind her to eat well. Lately, he was more worried about this daughter-in-law than his own son. After all, his son was absolutely fine after marrying.. There was nothing for him to be concern about.
