Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 745 IQ Drop

"Since you already know I like your face, you should also know that I like this face, even more, when there is a smile on it," said Raelle. "So, who asked you to show me these tears?"

"You mean my tears are ugly?" asked Shui Xian.

"I didn't say that," she said. "But is it okay for such a handsome man to cry like this?"

"Just a moment ago, you said I can cry," he reminded her.

"I did?" she asked and he nodded. "Maybe my brain had a short circuit."

Shui Xian was amused by her words and kissed her forehead. "Baby, I love you."

Raelle didn't understand his thinking process. Why did he suddenly declare his love?

"I know," she told him.

"My dear wife, I really love you."

"I know," she said again. "You just said that."

Shui Xian kissed her eyes, her eyebrows, and the tip of her nose, and pressed his lips against her, "Raelle, I really really love you!"

This time, for some inexplicable reason, Raelle couldn't reply with the same words as she always. She didn't know why but she just looked into his eyes and stayed quiet. His eyes only had her. She could see herself reflected clearly in his clear orbs but it was that sudden thought in her mind that stopped her from speaking. It was the thought of how there was only her in his eyes.

The eyes are the window to one's heart.

Of course, she had read it. To understand human emotions, she had to pay more attention to people's eyes rather than their facial expressions because some people are just good actors. But eyes... They hardly lie.

So, if Raelle brought her knowledge into this moment, she could clearly see that she was all he had not just in his eyes but also in his heart. And his heart was currently so full of her that there was no place for anyone else.

Her lips parted but before she could say anything, he said, "I know, you love me too."

"I didn't even say anything," she said, looking at his smug expressions.

"You don't have to," was his reply. "Even without words, I can hear everything now. Especially, I can hear the sound of your heart."

"So, you're saying, my heart is speaking to you?" she asked.

"Yes," he answered keeping a straight face.

"What can you understand from that 'thump-thump' sound?" she asked very seriously.

"What 'thump-thump'? It's clearly screaming, 'Xian, I love you!' with every beat," he didn't even feel ashamed talking this nonsense after shedding ugly tears before her. Who cared about his face before her? That's his own wife! If he had to keep a face before her, it'd be too tiring. He'd rather just let her see all his ugly sides.

Raelle being Raelle put her hand on her chest and fell into deep thought. Then she pressed the button to call a nurse and asked her, "Can I get a stethoscope?"

Even Shui Xian was taken aback by that question much less the poor nurse who ran in thinking something was wrong with the patient. And knowing the identity of the patient, the nurse was even more scared. But hearing that question, she was confused.

But who made Raelle an ancestor to these poor hospital staff? She could only listen to her and brought a stethoscope to her. Who cared if Raelle's query was strange?

They had strict orders from the Dean of the hospital to take care of Raelle. After all, the hospital Dean said Raelle was their family's child. How could anyone neglect even her willful thoughts?

And in this way, Raelle got the stethoscope and very seriously tried to listen to her heartbeat. She bet it sounded just 'thump-thump'. Why did he say that it sounded like 'Xian, I love you!'? Thinking to herself, she put it against Shui Xian's heart, and for some bizarre reason, she had an illusion that she seemed to hear 'I love you' with each heartbeat. What kind of sorcery is that?!

Shui Xian just silently let her be and watched her with keen interest.

Smiling to himself, he asked, "So, did you hear the sound of my heart?"

"I did," she answered as she put the stethoscope aside, seriously thinking about the sorcery she just encountered. She was sure this was sorcery or else, science definitely can't explain something like this. Or maybe, she is also wearing a filter on her eyes and ears now. So everything related to Shui Xian seems different to her.

Wait! If it is like that, doesn't that mean she really loves him?

Love....

Hmm... That's worth pondering over now.

Shui Xian pinched her nose, "My adorable little wife, stop making that face. I can't resist it."

"What face?" she asked.

"That adorable thinking face you just had," he answered.

"I think I looked the same," she said righteously. "It's your eyes that have problems. You find me adorable all the time. You need an eye doctor now."

"Nope," he shamelessly stuck to her. "I don't need a doctor. Even if I need someone to fix me that's you. All I need is you."

"No, all you need is an excuse to stick to me," she said.

Shui Xian grinned at that, "Wow! I'm exposed so soon. As expected of my smart wife. You can really see through all my intentions."

"It's not like you're trying to hide your intentions," she mentioned. "All your thoughts are written on your face."

"Even if all my thoughts are written on my face, only you can read those thoughts," he said. "After all, only you can understand the language of my heart."

"I can?" she asked.

He nodded solemnly. "Didn't you just listen to my heartbeat? You definitely understood it."

Obviously, Raelle couldn't deny that. Even if it was her illusion or sorcery, she really seemed to understand his heart language. What the hell was that?! Who would explain it to her?

Was her IQ also dropping because of love?

How scary!
