Shui Xian was still a little surprised by the turn of events. He was about to lose his temper when Mu Chenyan had already acted. Seriously, that woman was a lot scarier than he thought.
"Yanyan is overprotective," commented Shui Xian. And while he spoke, he had already texted his people. So what if Mu Chenyan was about to raise a storm? He could just turn it into a full blown tornado! Who does that bastard think he was to insult his wife and that too right before his eyes? Was he really gonna take it down? Hell no!
"I know," replied Raelle. How could she not know? She was raised by that woman. If she didn't know how overprotective she was, who else would know? As for what Mu Chenyan would do to people who dared to offend Raelle, she never really asked. Never really cared either. It didn't concern her. If they valued their lives, they should have thought about it before daring to mess with Raelle Xiang.
"This kind of trash should not be in officialdom," said Shui Xian.
"He won't be anymore," was all that Raelle said. She patted Shui Xian's hand and took it into her own as she added, "Let's not pay attention to it."
Shui Xian listened to her and agreed. They spent the rest of the time listening to the boring auction. There wasn't anything that caught Shui Xian's eyes so he couldn't even join in the fun of bidding. Good thing, his eyes could still feast on the beauty of his wife or he'd have really fallen asleep. He definitely didn't look like the Master Xian who was able to stay collected in every situation.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe finally caught sight of something and started bidding. Raelle didn't know why he was suddenly interested in that jade hairpin. But she didn't say anything and let him be. She only bid on a painting and won it easily. The thing she had the most was money, there was no way anyone could win a bid against her. She could smash people with money without a care.
"I'm hungry," said Cloe.
"Eat the cakes," said Raelle as she pointed at the variety of cakes placed in the middle of the table. They were neatly arranged. Colorful and looked enticing. However, not a single cake had been touched yet.
Raelle didn't like eating at these events. Shui Xian wasn't interested in eating cakes and Soren just wanted to go back home to his wife! Only Cloe moved her cutlery because she was hungry. But after one bite, she lost her appetite, "This isn't as good as the one I bought with Fai."
Thinking of this, she even went to explain to Raelle, "Chief, do you know Fai and I bought cakes from the Sunset bakery? Those were so yummy. You should go with Master Xian and try it some time. I don't know about you, but Master Xian would love it."
"Thanks for your kind suggestion," replied Raelle.
"You're most welcome," was Cloe's smug response. Raelle didn't know what she was smug but it didn't matter. This crazy girl was being happy all by herself. That was enough. When the charity gala came to the end, Cloe sighed, "Nothing eventful happened. How boring!"
"You need more excitement?" questioned Soren. He believed he got quite some excitement tonight and both times it was because of Raelle. No wonder she never attended events. People came looking for trouble even when she was just sitting down, minding her own business.
"That much excitement was like a snack," said Cloe. "I get to see everyday."
"Then your life is really eventful," commented Soren.
"It sure is," agreed Cloe.
The MC asked the guests to gather on the stage for a group photo. Raelle was definitely not interested in that, so she pulled Shui Xian along saying, "Let's go. We'll have dinner now."
"I made the reservation for you, Chief!" Cloe reminded from behind and watched them leave. Then she turned to Soren and asked, "Are you staying for the after party?"
"Do I look like I'm staying?" retorted Soren. "I'm getting out of here."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCloe clicked her tongue, "All of them are eager to spend time with their wives. Maybe I should also start disturbing my boyfriend." A sly glint flashes past her eyes as she grinned, "I still have to execute the plan to tie him to my bed. Hehehe... I should act on it sooner rather than later!"
On the other hand...
"We are having dinner here?" asked Shui Xian as they walked through the hallway of the hotel. "We can just eat at home." He knew she didn't really like eating out. Once in a while was enough for her.
"There is a circular restaurant here," said Raelle. "I heard you can see the whole city from there."
"Yes, there is," replied Shui Xian. "And yes, you can see the whole city as well. But that's your purpose?"
"Purpose is just to eat dinner with my husband," said Raelle. "Does it matter where we eat it? It's just that Bà said you like eating steak at this restaurant. So, I thought I'd just join you."
Shui Xian's heart was touched when she said that. So, in the end, it was all for him. Because his father ended up sharing with her how he liked this restaurant, she decided to bring him here. She really knew how to plan things properly.
"Don't feel so touched," she told him. "I just don't think it's okay to disturb the cooks at home at this time of the night."
"If that's what you say," he chuckled. "But that can't stop me from feeling touched. Or loving you even more." Nothing could possibly stop him from loving her more and more. Since his whole world revolved around her, it was obvious that all he saw was her.. How could he not fall in love with her when all his eyes saw were her.
