Master's Untamed Wife

1084 In My Birthday Suit

1084  In My Birthday Suit

The engagement venue was bustling with people. The guests invited to this engagement had a special status in society and were well respected. These people often didn't even gather in the same place and now that all of them were in the same room, the news reporters were trying their best to get a glimpse of the situation inside.

Some of them even tried to squeeze in by playing their usual tricks like acting like a waiter or even bribing the staff to get in. However, everything was useless since the security of this place was top-notch.

How could Mu Chenyan slack regarding the privacy of her guests and her own family?

And because this was Xia Zhao's hotel, there was an added layer of security.

When it was time, the emcee took the stage to get everyone's attention. The role of the emcee tonight was taken over by Xiang Wai. Even she didn't think she'd one day willingly play this role. But it was her sister's engagement, and she didn't want to shirk away her responsibility, especially since Raelle.

First of all, she had to invite the elder of the family to the stage and that was Grandfather Xiang who was helped to the stage by Hyson. And then Grandfather Xiang greeted the guests, "Good evening everyone! I am honored to stand before you all today as we gather to celebrate the engagement of my beloved granddaughter, Raelle. As I look at her and her fiancé, Shui Xian, I am filled with joy and gratitude for the love and happiness they share.

It seems just like yesterday when she was just a little girl and now she is a grown woman. She has grown up to be my pride.

I know life has a lot of obstacles and challenges but I'm certain that Raelle and Xian can overcome them together with their love. I have no doubt that they'd stand by each other's side no matter what they face.

So, let's raise a glass to wish them a lifetime of happiness, love, and prosperity! May their love continue to grow stronger with each passing day.

Cheers!"

When he got off the stage, Hyson couldn't help leaning towards him as he asked, "Opa, did you practice that?"

Grandfather Xiang knocked on his head, "Why do I need to practice? I just said whatever came to my mind. That Chenyan didn't even tell me she was gonna call me on stage. I'd have done a better job if I knew that this was gonna happen." He sighed in regret making Hyson amused at his look. "Actually, I had a lot more to say but I thought it'd get too personal and there was no need to get this person in front of these guests. I'll just say those words to my Yenay when we are at home."

Hyson chuckled, "That's what I was thinking. You're being too formal. But you did a good job."

After this speech, Raelle and Shui Xian entered the venue hand in hand. Everyone's eyes followed this golden couple. They seemed to be sparkling brighter than the lights around them.

The women's eyes were stuck on Raelle's attire and were glowing with jealousy as they looked at the sapphire necklace around her neck. They couldn't take their eyes off her at all. Since women naturally have an interest in jewelry and clothing, so most of them did recognize the sapphire necklace. And although they couldn't recognize the design of the tiara Raelle wore, it didn't stop them from taking a few extra looks because of the fine workmanship.

Only the people in business had seen Raelle in real life while their partners were seeing Raelle for 23:41

the very first time. They had to agree that the photos that were leaked on the internet before really didn't do justice to this ice queen.

And even Shui Xian didn't call her smile ugly today but he could actually see that this smile on her lips wasn't just a show. She was really trying her best to smile sincerely.

After all, it wouldn't look good to keep a blank face in the photos.

Even Raelle felt that people might assume she was being forced to get engaged that's why she did her best to smile. She had to say, her years of efforts seemed to be paying off a little. Even she'd see that her smile wasn't as forced as before.

As they got on stage, they said a few words to the guests. Well, it was mostly Shui Xian who was grinning happily and thanking everyone for coming to bless them on their engagement. Raelle wasn't interested in talking so much and no one would mind that she only said a few words.

"Now, let's exchange the rings," announced Xiang Wai.

The couple exchanged the rings and everyone cheered.

While putting on the ring, Shui Xian said softly to her, "This is our new beginning."

"Why? You got bored already so you want a new beginning now?"

Shui Xian was speechless at her remark.

Raelle noticed the way his veins ticked and said, "Sorry. I just couldn't hold back the retort. I know you don't mean that."

"Raelle, you're being wicked," said Shui Xian.

Raelle whispered in response, "Then how about you make me obedient?"

Shui Xian's ears turned red as he understood the meaning behind her words and almost bit his own tongue at that moment. What the hell! Did she have to tease him in front of the hundred or so guests? It was so embarrassing!

Raelle obviously didn't think so and was acting as if nothing happened.

Shui Xian took a deep breath, "You just wait. I'll show you once we get back home."

"I'll be waiting," replied Raelle. "In my birthday suit."

Shui Xian pursed his lips and raised his hand to touch the tip of his nose so as the hide the emotions Only the people in business had seen Raelle in real life while their partners were seeing Raelle for the very first time. They had to agree that the photos that were leaked on the internet before really Surprisingly though, this ice queen had a small smile on her lips tonight.

he was going through. He looked at her innocent look and shook his head. He so wanted to take her down right there.

He knew she was doing it on purpose again.

They were just talking about his mother earlier and he was feeling down. How could Raelle not see that he was still a bit blue even after talking to her? And being the ever-ready Raelle, she took it upon herself to tease him to make him feel better.

"Behave yourself," said Shui Xian. "We have guests."

"That's what I want to say too."

Both of them looked at Xiang Wai who had slid to their side and whispered, "Can you both pay attention? This is your engagement! You're on stage! Don't be lost in your own world! You can do that at home."

She was really hyper right now. She was doing such a good job at being an emcee but this couple wasn't even cooperating with her. How could they just get lost in their own world while the engagement ceremony was ongoing? Couldn't they see how everyone was looking at them? Although everyone had a smile on their faces, still this couple needed to learn propriety!

"I hope Wai doesn't lose it," commented Mu Chenyan.

"Relax, aunt! She'll be fine," assured Xiang Weimin. "For Raelle, Wai can be very patient. Trust me."

"Let's hope so," said Mu Chenyan and instantly shook her head. "No, I should have faith in my niece. She can do it. I warned her to be patient with Raelle and Xian. After all, how can I not know these two? How could having a hundred or so people gathered here for them be any of their concerns? They'd still find time to build their own little world filled with bubbles of love."

Hyson chuckled when he heard that. "Who chose Wai Jie?" he asked. "Why her of all people?"

"Because you didn't want to do it," said Xiang Weimin and Mu Chenyan simultaneously.

Hyson rubbed his nose, "I just didn't think the role would suit me." Then he grinned, "Well, anyway, I'm gratified to see my Ellie and Xian Ge being so in love."

"Lose that old grandpa smile," said Zhai Yanjun.

Hyson turned to Grandfather Xiang, "Opa, see what he said! He called me old grandpa! Isn't he insulting you indirectly?"

Zhai Yanjun gasped and hurriedly shook his head in front of Grandfather Xiang, "Granduncle, you know I didn't mean that."

"You should be careful with your words these days, Captain," said Hyson. "After all, you want the daughter of our family. Offending any one of us will be dangerous for you."

Grandfather Xiang laughed heartily at that, "Indeed. Our family's little prince is right, Captain Zhai. Be careful. We hold grudges."

Zhai Yanjun felt like crying. Why did he have to tease Hyson of all people and that too in front of the Xiang family's members? Now, he shot himself on the foot. He was the most pitiful one because they were all right. He was the one who wanted the daughter of their family. He had to be sincere and humble or he'd be kicked out.

Or worse, Mu Chenyan might come after him with a rolling pin again
