Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 1063: I Refuse!

Chapter 1063: I Refuse!

Shui Xian glared at Cui Cukun. He didn't even know what this guy was even doing here. And he was actually the first one to show up.      

"Unwilling?" Repeated Shui Xian. "Is something wrong with your eyes?" Without waiting for his response, he went on, "Oh, I forgot. You really do have something wrong with your eyes."     

Cui Xukun shrugged, "You can say whatever you want. I have understood you all too well. So, now I have stopped caring about your snarky remarks."     

"How very adaptable of you," snickered Shui Xian. "What are you even doing here?"     

"You invited me," reminded Cui Xukun with a grin. Actually, he was not expecting the invitation. Not at all. Not from Shui Xian at least. He thought he'd have to tag along his girlfriend. But to his surprise, he was given an invitation from Shui Xian.     

Imagine his shock and happiness. Just this gesture was enough to show that Shui Xian wasn't as hostile towards him as before. And was even willing to associate with him.      

"You look way too pleased," said Shui Xian as he gave Cui Xukun a disdainful glance. "It's just an invitation. Do you have to be so happy about it?"     

"It sure is a big deal to me," replied Cui Xukun. "And you know why."     

Shui Xian turned his head away, "I just called you to show you that I'm getting engaged. Hehe."     

Cui Xukun's lips twitched when he heard that. He just realized that he was invited because this ex friend of his wanted to shove this into his face. Shui Xian wanted to show off.      

"Get in line, kid!" Said Shui Xian. "It's not your time yet."     

Cui Xukun rolled his eyes, "Yes. How can I compare with you? It's your second marriage. And I have yet to get into this the first time. So, you do have the right to be proud. Although I don't think there is a need for that."     

Shui Xian smacked his head, "Who asked you to talk about it on my engagement day? So what if it's my second marriage? It's my first engagement party, okay?"     

Shui Xian hmphed and looked away. He wasn't lying. It was indeed his first engagement party. There wasn't one when he got married to Tang Hebe back then. A lot of steps were skipped back then.     

But... He skipped everything with Raelle. So, now it was his time to make it all up. They had to start all over again and do everything right. He didn't want to skip any step.      

"Congratulations, Xian!" Said Cui Xukun sincerely. "But I still have the same question. Why do you look so unwilling? I thought you'd be over the moon on this day."     

"I'm over the moon," said Shui Xian. "It's just that... I have seen my wifey for the past 6 hours. Do you understand? 6 hours!!!! I'm about to lose my mind!"     

Cui Xukun was taken aback by this outburst that came out of nowhere. He didn't know what expression to make as he looked at Shui Xian. He really didn't know.      

"Bro, you okay? It's just six hours," said Cui Xukun. "How clingy are you?"     

"Very," was Shui Xian's answer. "I am very clingy. Very very clingy."     

"What are you? A dog?"     

"Do you think I'll take that as an insult? Well, guess what? No way!" Responded Shui Xian. "I adore dogs. You know that well. Also, dogs are loyal. Very loyal. I love being around her. What is wrong with that?"     

Cui Xukun shook his head helplessly, "I thought you changed into a cat. After all, I heard so much about Master Xian's aloof and cold demeanor. But I see that seeing is believing. Your spirit animal is still a dog. I don't even know what to do with you?"     

"Who are you to question my spirit animal? I'm not a snake like you!"     

"How am I snake?"         

"Because you didn't even hesitate before hissing at me and turning away."     

"Wow!" Cui Xukun rolled his eyes. "You're marvelous!"     

"I know," Shui Xian turned cheeky. "Man, I thought I'd get to stick with my wife all day long since it's our special day. Why did this day turn out to be so different than my imagination?"     

Raelle's words were still running through his mind. 'Cultivate patience.'     

Heck with this bloody patience! He didn't want to learn to be patient anymore. And he decided to never even use the word patience with his wife ever again. It was so not worth it. Definitely not worth it at all.     

In the end, he'd have to pay the price of his own words. He should learn to use his words wisely from now on.     

"Imagination is always rich," said Cui Xukun. "But the reality sucks. Haven't you learned this? I think we entered the adult world for far too long to learn this lesson by now."     

"Are you here to talk nonsense with me?" Asked Shui Xian.     

"No, I'm here early to support you," said Cui Xukun. "By the way, didn't you call for a stylist to get ready? It's your day. You should shine. Or are you worried that you might overshadow your wife's sparkle?"     

Shui Xian wanted to pinch him but this time around Cui Xukun got smarter and stepped back in time to avoid those evil hands. "Haha. You missed it."     

"Childish!" Remarked Shui Xian disdainfully.     

"No, that's you!" Said Cui Xukun.     

"No one can overshadow my wife's sparkle, you'll see!" Said Shui Xian proudly.     

"Then Mister, have you thought about what if you couldn't match her sparkle? What if people thought you don't deserve her?"     

"Then they can get in line," said Shui Xian. "Because even I think I don't deserve her."     

Cui Xukun was momentarily stunned to hear that from Shui Xian. He just stared at Shui Xian for a long while in silence. It was just that kind of a moment where he wasn't sure how to react. Once again!     

And he could see that Shui Xian was being very honest right now. He couldn't believe it though.     

His honest thoughts were that Shui Xian was too good for anyone. He was saying it with all his heart. Because he knew this guy since they were young. And because of that, he knew that Shui Xian was an amazing guy.     

One of the reasons he backed out so easily when Tang Hebe chose him was that, he knew it himself that Shui Xian was a better choice.     

He wasn't belittling himself. He just thought his friend was awesome.     

"I don't think so," said Cui Xukun. "Why do you even think this way? Even if we aren't friends anymore, I still can give a guarantee for you. You are an amazing guy, Xian."     

"I know," replied Shui Xian. "But thanks for the compliment."     

Cui Xukun smiled a little at that and added, "I agree that Raelle is one of a kind girl but you don't have to go so far that you start thinking you don't deserve her. If you didn't deserve her, her family wouldn't have picked you for her. If you weren't enough, Raelle Xiang wouldn't have gotten on her knee to propose to you. Have some confidence."     

He patted Shui Xian's shoulder in encouragement.     

Shui Xian's lips curled up slightly as he gazed at him and said, "You have become eloquent."         

"I'm a lawyer," reminded Cui Xukun. "I have to be eloquent to earn money. I can't just go around firing people and earn like you."     

"Can you speak human?" Retorted Shui Xian. And here he thought this guy was getting better. But no, he just had to ruin it for him. "You really get on my nerve."     

"As if you are any better," said Cui Xukun. "But guess what? It's because we are the same that we were best of friends."     

"Not anymore though," said Shui Xian.     

"We'll get there," was Cui Xukun's response. "I have hope now."     

"Lose it."     

"I refuse!"
