Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 115 - You Have, I Don’t

The way a person dresses up, says a lot about the personality of that person.

Shui Xian came to that conclusion after meeting Raelle. And he also learned that whether the world is willing to treat you well or not doesn't matter. You should know how to pamper yourself.

And he could clearly see how Raelle pampered herself. Since her beauty aesthetics were peculiar like her character, she liked to dress up glamorously just for the sake of pleasing her eyes. He actually thought he might get used to her style after a week but he found himself laughing at that thought. He couldn't figure out her style.

He could only say that her style screamed; Bold, confident, modern, talented, elegant, and yet sensuous.

Today, she was wearing a white top with a dark floral skirt that only reached her thighs along with a pink mini leather jacket. Her hair was braided loosely that lied over her one shoulder. A handful of hair was left out of the braid from the front that she brushed aside from the side of her face with her delicate and fair fingers.

She looked at Shui Xian and found his eyes glued on herself. "Is something wrong?" she inquired.

"Something is missing," said Shui Xian as he stood up and walked over to her. He stood behind her and soon Raelle felt something foreign touching her skin. She looked down to find that he had placed her pendant around her neck. While putting the pendant around her, his fingers grazed the skin of her neck ever so lightly before he turned her around to face him. "This really suits you well."

Raelle touched her pendant that was named, 'Dream of Change' before she looked up at him. She didn't comment regarding her own pendant. She only held it between her fingers for a minute before leaving it as she said, "Shall we leave now?"

Shui Xian hummed in reply and let her take her bag as they went downstairs together. Since the day Raelle had woken him up early for a morning run, Shui Xian had been waking up at the same time as her. Not because she asked him to but because he realized, in this way, they had plenty of time to spend together before going to work.

And in this way, even their sleep schedule seemed to have linked together. Even though today was a weekend, they had still gone out for a run early in the morning. In just two days, he had come to love running in the morning for two reasons. One, he got enough time to spend with Raelle. Two, he got to meet that adorable Siberian Husky that always left him in a good mood.

"Are you both going somewhere?" questioned Shui Koshing when he saw them dressed up for the day. "Are you going out to have some fun? Have lots of fun then!" He pointed at his son and went on, "Son, you better buy lots of things for my daughter-in-law."

"We are not going shopping," replied Shui Xian.

Shui Koshing frowned, looking puzzled when Raelle informed him, "We are going to meet my best friend's mother. I have to extend my thanks to her for the wedding gift she sent us."

"Oh!" Shui Koshing had a look of enlightenment. "Why didn't you remind me earlier? I would have asked the chef to prepare some homemade dishes to take with you."

"Bà, we'll buy something on the way," said Shui Xian.

"How is that sincere enough?" retorted Shui Koshing. He called for a servant and immediately asked them to pack some homemade pickles and to bring some of his well-cherished sake as well.

Shui Xian pulled Raelle and sat down beside his father to wait for the things he just asked the servants to pack. He looked at his wife before he felt like teasing her and voiced out, "Bà, talking about sincerity, wouldn't it be more sincere if the gift is made by my wife?"

Raelle stared at him blankly for a split second before saying, "Hubby, do you know where the disappointment comes from?" Shui Xian's brow arched up ever-so-slightly as she concluded with, "From unrealistic expectations."

"Oh?" responded Shui Xian and she nodded her head solemnly.

"Your wife doesn't know how to cook," she told him frankly. "In fact, I can hardly tell spices apart because I have never stepped a foot inside the kitchen in my entire life."

"Really?" Shui Xian actually thought that she didn't know how to cook but he didn't think she was that estranged from not only kitchen stuff but also from the kitchen itself.

"Yes," replied Raelle. "Opa says it's a dangerous place. I should not enter at any cost."

"Dangerous?" repeated Shui Xian trying to think about how the kitchen could be a dangerous place.

"There is fire, I can get a burn," began Raelle in a systematic manner. "There are knives, I can get a cut. There are spices, they can get into my eyes and damage my nerves. There is oil, it can spill on the floor and make me slip and break my bones. There is also... Mmfp!"

Before she could even finish, Shui Xian had already placed his hand over her lips saying, "Wife, I got it. I got a clear picture. No need to make it more vivid than it already is in my mind."

Raelle listened to him and stopped.

Seeing their interaction, Shui Koshing chuckled at them before shaking his head. "Son, Uncle Yu is a little overprotective about her. Anything that remotely comes close to danger had been kept out of her reach. You can't blame her for being clueless about cooking."

Raelle nodded along with him as she said, "My meals had always been meticulously prepared by professional chefs or Yanyan."

Shui Koshing gave Raelle a smile and said, "Elle, don't you worry at all. Only one of you needs to know how to cook. So what if you can't cook, your husband can. Isn't that enough?"

Raelle stared at Shui Xian whose body stiffened slightly at his father's words. "You can?" she asked him.

Shui Xian nodded his head, "I learned a little." Shui Xian thought she would demand him to make something for her but who knew she had her own thoughts all over again.

Raelle gave him a thumbs-up as she said, "No wonder my grandfather said that you're like the missing part that I need to complete myself." Shui Xian's brows knitted up as she added, "Because you have the skills that I don't have. Just like you have all the emotions that I don't have."
