Master's Untamed Wife

Cui Xukun really didn't care what else she said. His attention was only on the fact that Cloe was not with Shui Xian. It meant Cloe was single. And it was because she was single that she came on this blind date. And she is on this blind date with him!

Fuck!

He cursed inside his head. He only processed this information. He was on a date with his crush! Why didn't Soren tell him about this? He'd have dressed better rather than this casual style. And he'd have gone to the salon to get perfect hair. What the hell!

Shit! He just acted like a little kid before his crush! He is really hopeless.

Cloe curled her fingers and knocked on the tabletop to get his attention back as she said, "Having fun with overthinking?"

Cui Xukun was surprised that she actually saw through him.

Cloe chuckled at the way he rubbed his nose in embarrassment and said, "And here I was thinking Soren would send a stiff guy like himself for this blind date." He took a pause and added, "Soren said so much about you but I feel like you're nothing like what he said."

"Is it good or bad?" he asked nervously.

"I think it's good," she answered with a mischievous light in her eyes. She actually felt like she was bullying him right now. "By the way, why are acting so strange? Don't tell me you fell in love with me at first sight?"

Cui Xukun smiled at her and said, "You can say it like that."

Cloe opened her eyes wide at his reply, "Really?"

Cui Xukun nodded his head. "But let's not talk about that. Let's eat something first."

He rang the bell to get the food delivered. It seemed Soren even ordered the food for them and all they had to do was to get it served. Really, Soren was really detailed-oriented.

"The other day, my nephew disturbed you, I'm sorry for that again," said Cui Xukun.

"That was Soren's son?" she asked.

Cui Xukun nodded his head, "Yeah, that's his son. Samuel Ke."

Cloe nodded her head, "You don't have to say sorry. If anyone should, I'll get that Soren to apologize to me!"

Cui Xukun pursed his lips when he saw her planning to get his brother-in-law to apologize to her. It seemed like he got Soren in trouble but he didn't care. Who asked him to play with his feelings like this? He knew that Cloe didn't have a partner and yet he watched me wallow in grief?! That's unacceptable!

As they both got a little comfortable with each other's presence, they started talking about all sorts of things that they were interested in. And just like that, the atmosphere turned comfortable around them. They didn't feel the earlier apprehension they both had towards this blind date.

Cloe was surprised to find that Cui Xukun was actually a friend of Shui Xian. She didn't think there'd be this kind of possibility around here.

"Master Xian still didn't tell you about his wife even though you guys had been childhood friends?" she was confused about this point. Even Raelle told her best friend about their marriage. Not only that, Raelle even told her about it. Although she got to learn about Shui Xian's identity a little later than Hyson, it was still okay. At least, she knew about this. There were still so many people who didn't even know that Shui Xian and Raelle Xiang were married. Let's take her blind date, Cui Xukun as an example.

"We drifted apart with time," he had told her with a bit of sadness dripping in his words. "Now, we can hardly be considered acquaintances."

Cloe didn't try to pry into his matters deeply. After all, it was not her place to do so. Besides, it didn't matter to her. How many people can maintain a friendship for that long? Not everyone has an affinity like Raelle and Hyson. Normal people would lose their friends at one stage of their lives.

"By the way, who is your boss?" asked Cui Xukun. "I mean Xian's wife. Who is she?"

Cloe took a pause before telling him, "Raelle Xiang."

Cui Xukun nodded his head but suddenly stiffened. He looked at her hard as if looking for confirmation from her that he heard it right.

Cloe gave him a smile, "Yes, she is that bid boss behind the Xiang Group of Companies. Also, she is the one who built Wanda Enterprises single-handedly. Pretty impressive, right?"

Cui Xukun took a while to say, "Impressive? Are you sure that's enough to describe her?"

Cloe shook her head honestly, "In my opinion, no word is enough to describe her. She is in a league of her own. From the very beginning, she was nothing like us mortals."

"You really admire her," stated Cui Xukun.

Cloe shrugged her shoulders, "I can't help it. There are two types of people in the world. Attention seeker and attention catcher. She is definitely in the latter category since wherever she is, she'll make you turn your head and look back at her."

Cui Xukun was dumbstruck actually, "I still can't believe that Xian married President Raelle. That..."

"That's a perfect match," said Cloe. Cui Xukun looked at her as she went on, "They both are extraordinary individuals. If they aren't meant for each other who is? It isn't a Cinderella story where just anyone can catch the prince charming's attention."

"Perhaps Cinderella stories still end well," said Cui Xukun. "Marriages in the high society are chaotic. They don't end well even when two people are in love. You can see how Xian's last marriage ended. They were both of the same statuses and yet they fell apart."

"I didn't talk about the status here," was her response. "I said they both are extraordinary as people. It has nothing to do with who they really are."

Cui Xukun was surprised when he heard that. It seemed his crush is a fangirl of this couple.. He should avoid this topic in the future.
