Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 1142  Privilege

As Shui Xian woke up in the morning, he found Raelle nestled in his arms, her sleeping form exuding an ethereal grace. Her body temperature was cold and yet the warmth of her presence enveloped him.

Gently, he traced the contours of her face, marveling at the softness of her skin and the peacefulness that radiated from within. It was rare for him to wake up and find her sleeping since she was used to waking up on time.

"Are you done?"

Shui Xian's hand froze as he was tracing her lips when he heard her voice.

"You're awake?" he asked.

"I am awake."

"Since when?"

"Since the beginning."

Shui Xian pursed his lips but he wasn't embarrassed at being caught. Why would he be? He was with his wife. Besides, he had traced every part of her body with his lips, how would tracing her face with his finger could be any different?

Raelle opened her lips and bit his finger that was right beside her lips.

Shui Xian hissed, "Wifey, are you hungry?"

As her hot tongue rolled around his finger, he cursed under his breath. Now, he didn't know about her but he was very hungry. He swallowed with difficulty and controlled himself.

"Why didn't you get up since you're awake?" he asked trying to ignore the sensation have a replay? We can play like last night all over again."

that came from his finger. He wholeheartedly believed now that fingers were connected to one's heart. Why else would his heart be getting so restless from her teasing?

Raelle let his finger go and put her head on his bare chest and rubbed her face against him making Shui Xian feel a bit itchy.

"Why can't I laze around? I didn't want to get up so I didn't. Any problem with that?"

"No problem," came his reply. He wrapped his arm around her waist even more tightly as he added, "How can I have any problem? I can't even explain how happy I am to see you in my arms when I wake up. It's not every day that my wife gives me the chance to appreciate her morning beauty." He took a pause and asked, "Darling, are you tired? Or sore anywhere?"

"Why would I be?" came her muffled voice. Then she raised her head and put her chin on his chest as she looked at him, "I have all the energy in the world. Do you wanna have a replay? We can play like last night all over again."

Shui Xian coughed lightly when he heard that, "I don't think so."

"Why not?"

"It's early in the morning," reminded Shui Xian.

"So?" she responded as her hand sneaked around on his chest and went up to his chin. She rubbed his slight stubble as she teased him and said, "It's just you and me here. Who cares whether it's early morning or midnight?"

"Stop making trouble," said Shui Xian. "Last night, it was too rough. Let's take a break."

"Oh." She responded and didn't argue but her hand didn't stop making trouble as she started playing with his sensitive ear making Shui Xian almost lose his sanity. But he had to remind himself that they really played wildly last night from the bathtub to the bed to the living room. He couldn't think of a place in this presidential suite where they hadn't done it. So, he really had to hold back and not be as reckless as his wife.

"When do you have time?" asked Raelle.

"I have all the time in the world for you."

"Don't," she said. "I'm serious. Let's check our schedule and find a time. I'll take you to the place where I grew up."

"That's very tempting," he said. "Okay. I'll confirm the time with you. But are you going back to work?"

"Or else? You want me to become a rice bug at home?"

Shui Xian chuckled, "Although I don't mind raising this rice bug, it doesn't mean I want you to stop doing what you love. You can do whatever you want. I'm just asking when you're joining the work again."

"From Monday," she answered. "I have already troubled Cloe a lot these days because of my absence. It's time to get back to work properly. I asked her to find me a new assistant. It'll also lessen the burden on her and allow her to go on dates. I can't possibly take away her personal life just because of work. It was different before since she was single and doing overtime was better for her mental health than to go back to her apartment alone. Now, she isn't alone so I can't take all of her time."

"What an enlightened boss you are," complimented Shui Xian sincerely. "I suddenly feel like I have been too harsh to Ma Jin. Maybe I should give that guy a break too. He had a lot of fights with his girlfriend because he couldn't give her time because of work."

"Yes, you should give him a break," agreed Raelle. "Also, you should give him a bonus for not running away all this while under your torment."

Shui Xian rubbed his nose guiltily, "In fact, he didn't run away only because his father was Bà's subordinate and his family got a lot of help from Bà. He feels indebted. Otherwise, I think he'd have really run away because of my attitude."

"Then you should thank Bà too," she suggested.

"I have a lot to thank Bà for," said Shui Xian as he looked at her.

It was such a peaceful morning after a wild night and Shui Xian was's heart was overwhelmed with a sense of gratitude as he held the treasure of his life in his arms. As the morning light bathed the room, he whispered the words of adoration, promise of love and devotion, making her almost annoyed by his honeyed words.

He felt like his sense of purpose was renewed once again after last night. They became an engaged couple in front of the world. And he recognized once again that it was a privilege for him to be able to hold this woman in his arms.
