Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 152 - Advanced Flirting MOD 520

Raelle didn't reply immediately, she stood up and walked over to the glass wall. Looking over the skyscrapers, she said, "Whether I steal your phone or your heart, aren't both meant to be mine?"

Shui Xian's mouth opened wide in disbelief. It took him a while to come up with words to say, "Wife, you're really a league ahead of me. I was proud that I passed 'Flirting MOD 101' with flying colors. But you certainly passed, 'Advanced Flirting MOD 520'[1] with soaring grades!"

"Is this your way of saying that my flirting skills are superior?"

Shui Xian chuckled at her question and hummed in reply, "Yes. Your skills are definitely superior."

"That's because I'm a fast learner," said Raelle. "Anyway, I was about to call you. Your cellphone has been ringing a lot. The caller id 'Ruan' called to invite you out for lunch but I declined on your behalf."

"Oh, you did?" Shui Xian acted as if he didn't know anything regarding this topic. "Why?"

"Isn't your lunchtime exclusively mine?" retorted Raelle.

"Wife, even I'm exclusively yours," said Shui Xian. "And you're merely asking for my lunchtime? If all of me is yours, all of my time is yours as well."

"I don't want all of your time," replied Raelle. "What if I got bored?"

"It's only been two weeks, and you're already bored of me?"

"I said, 'what if.'" Taking a brief pause she went on, "Oh, Zhai Yanjun also called."

Shui Xian's brows furrowed up, "Why did he call? Did he say anything to you?"

"What can he say to me?" questioned Raelle.

Shui Xian nodded to himself. Indeed, what could Zhai Yanjun say to Raelle? It'd be more believable if someone said Raelle said something to Zhai Yanjun. After all, he was getting quite familiar with his wife's eloquence.

"Who else called?" asked Shui Xian.

Raelle told him about two other calls that came while she was talking to Cloe earlier. Both were related to his business dealings and she diligently informed him the details down to the smallest thing. "Now, should I bring your phone to you or you're gonna collect it yourself?"

"You'll bring my phone to me?"

"No, I can just ask someone to do it," replied Raelle dampening Shui Xian's mood.

"Forget it then. It's just a phone, you take care of it for today," said Shui Xian.

"You're getting important calls," was Raelle's response. "Won't it bring you trouble?"

Shui Xian smiled to himself, "You can play the role of conveying messages to me. Can't I count on my capable wife?"

Raelle's eyes were stuck to the birds soaring in the sky as she thought of something and said, "You just want me to call you over and over again."

Shui Xian's eyes widened, "How did you know?" He really didn't think she'd be able to catch his hidden intention so well. But as always, she just had to give him a surprise.

"Your intentions are quite obvious," responded Raelle.

Shui Xian chuckled at her reply. He actually laughed for a long while. If she could tell his intentions, then it was all the more reason for him to make his intentions all the more clear to her. She couldn't understand complicated human emotions, he had to make some things obvious to her. To make it easy for her to pick up things.

Even though he had already learned that the sensitivity in her apparent insensitivity was remarkable!

"Why did you click my photo?" asked Raelle.

"When we see something beautiful, don't we all want to capture that beauty?" Shui Xian spun the pen on the glass surface of his desk as he continued, "I found my wife's beauty surreal so I captured it with my phone's camera." Without waiting for Raelle's reply, he went on, "Besides, I don't think there is anything wrong with keeping a picture of my own wife in my phone."

"Well, I didn't say anything is wrong with that," replied Raelle.

*Knock! Knock!*

Shui Xian lifted his eyes when he heard the knocking at the door and soon the door was pushed open by his assistant, "Master Xian, Mr. Liam and his team have reached the lobby."

Shui Xian looked at the time and looked displeased at being disturbed like this, "Why is he so early? Weren't we supposed to meet after the lunch?"

"Sudden change of plans. He has to urgently leave the city," informed Ma Jin.

Shui Xian hesitated a little and while he was hesitating, he heard his wife's voice, "Don't even think about delaying the meeting. Liam is leaving the country in two hours, you won't be able to get a hold of him for the next two months."

Shui Xian frowned a little as he asked, "How do you know that?"

Raelle checked her perfectly shaped nails as she answered, "Because I am the one behind his sudden change of plans."

Shui Xian shook his head. The corner of his lips went up ever so slightly as he said, "What did you do now?"

"Have I ever told you about one of my hidden talents?" Raelle replied with her own question instead of answering him. "I don't want to brag but I have a ton of experience at making people mad."

"Why am I not even surprised?" was Shui Xian's reply as he pinched the bridge of his nose. Looking up at Ma Jin, he said, "Take him to the meeting room, I'll be there." Then he turned his attention back to his wife and said, "It seems our lunch..."

"You can focus on work," said Raelle without giving him a chance to complete his words. "Just don't forget to eat something. I'll see you at home."

Shui Xian hummed in reply before the call disconnected. While he was staring at the phone screen with a softened gaze, he realized that there was another person around him. As he abruptly looked up to meet Ma Jin's eyes, the latter was stunned.

"Why are you still here?"

Ma Jin shook his head and meekly said, 'nothing' before he turned around to leave. He definitely wasn't gonna tell Master Xian that he almost lost his soul seeing that smile on his face.
