Master's Untamed Wife

"My first question is," started Cloe in a slow manner as if she was purposely taking her sweet time. "Have we met before our blind date?"

Cloe noticed how Cui Xukun's eyes widened at her question but he still answered, "No. We have never met."

Cloe leaned down, making her lips graze against his jaw, "Are you sure about that? If you lie, I'm still gonna punish you."

"But I'm not lying," he insisted. "We really never met before our blind date."

Cloe narrowed her eyes suspiciously. However, she wasn't blind. She could tell he wasn't lying. But he was definitely hiding something here.

"Okay, moving on," Cloe dropped the topic and chose to move on. If there was anything she learned from Raelle, it was patience. She could play this game for however long he wanted to. Yes, her patience wasn't as otherworldly as Raelle otherwise she wouldn't have tied him up for this question-answer session. But then again, her patience was still quite remarkable. She couldn't possibly compete with Raelle in that department or any department for that matter.

"Since when did you have a crush on me?" she asked straightforwardly catching Cui Xukun off guard. He didn't expect that question to come up. By now, he realized why this question-answer session even began.

He resigned himself to his fate. Anyway, he didn't plan on hiding it for life. "Since the first time, I saw you."

"And I believe that wasn't on the night of our blind date," added Cloe.

Cui Xukun nodded his head, "Yes. I have seen you before."

"Didn't you say we never met?" she asked.

"We didn't," he repeated. "But I did see you before that and I also knew about you before our blind date."

"And when was the first time you saw me? Where?" she questioned.

"At your university," he answered making her eyes widen in surprise. "It was your second year of university. I came to meet my brother-in-law whom my sister started dating out of nowhere. I was curious about that young brother-in-law who wanted to steal my sister and I went to find him. I didn't find him. But I did find you."

Cloe had a complicated look on her face as she stared at him, "Don't tell me it's love at first sight? I was a mess in university. Always running around for part-time jobs, lack of sleep from studying all night, I looked like a grandma."

"Who said I liked your looks?" he questioned. "I just liked the girl who was so shy and a bit timid. But she looked at that guy beside her with such adoration in her eyes that I couldn't forget about her. Especially her words, 'I'm always with you. If you want to start your own business. I'll support you.' That guy had asked, 'Do you trust me?' And that fool of a girl told him, 'I do. And I always will.'" He smiled bitterly at her as he continued, "In fact, it wasn't love at first sight. It's just that I couldn't get those words out of my head. I was envious of that bastard who managed to get such love from you. You see, I have always had bad luck when it came to love." And he tried two years after he moved to another country to look for love. However, his luck was very down. He only ended up believing that love had become a fantasy.

Until he really saw that girl with her messy hair covering most of her face. The only thing that caught his attention was her eyes.

"And then?" she asked.

"Then I forgot about that girl," he told her honestly. "However, I ran into that girl again. At a subway station past 10 at night. She was alone and she was crouching down beside a kitten. At first, I didn't recognize her. I only walked over because I thought it was dangerous for a single girl to be out at that time. But then I heard her talking to that kitten."

"Little Kitty, don't be a fool like me. You can't run from home for a guy." The girl was obviously very intoxicated. "They are all bastards. Biggest bastards in the world. Never ever trust a bastard like that."

The girl hiccuped and hugged the kitten close to her bosom. "I also fell for such a bastard and I fell really hard. And the bastard really played me good." With that, her tears started pouring down like rain. "I should have known from the beginning. Once a whore is always a whore! But we girls are really strange creatures. We always want to try the forbidden fruit. The thing with a tagline, 'Caution!' We just have to pick that thing and see what is so dangerous about it. It's always that bad-boy energy that becomes our doom in the end."

Cui Xukun didn't know why stood there and listened to her ranting for an hour. In fact, she was so drunk that she continued to ramble on and on about everything.

"I wanted to break his balls but it's such a shame that he dodged. But still, I managed to damage a few parts of him. Let me see how he goes out to catch those bitches with that bald spot on his head."

Cui Xukun touched his hair subconsciously. With her frail stature, he almost couldn't believe that she did any considerable damage to that cheater of a boyfriend of his. But at that time, he was willing to even believe the words of a drunkard. How funny it was that he was enjoying his Friday night listening to a random girl on the subway station. Not listening, eveasdropping would be the right word for what he was doing.

"However, can I really blame him? It's always us women who give these bastards the audacity to cheat on us by always giving them the upper hand in the relationship. Why should we be meek and weak? We are women! We are a force to reckon with! I'm gonna prove that to that son of a bitch and make him regret ever cheating on me!"

Who knew that the next time he'd learn about her, she was really a force to be reckon with.
