Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 298 - Hug



Chapter 298 - Hug

Shui Xian spent his whole day in a depressed mood. For some reason, he was feeling really down since the time he woke up. Perhaps, it was because of the nightmare that woke him up at 3 o'clock in the morning, and later he couldn't fall asleep at all. Whatever the reason was, he had been really restless.

He only felt a little calm when had gotten to talk to Raelle. Just seeing her made all his nightmares disappear. And he was able to smile from his heart. But later she became the reason why his mood hit rock bottom. As soon as he came back to the hotel room, he had been trying to call Raelle but her phone was constantly turned off.

He had been trying to call her for the past hour but her phone was still off. As the rain started pouring, he felt like this gloomy weather was making him even more uneasy. It was his first time to face such a situation with Raelle. After all, Raelle always kept her phone on and she'd always answer his phone within seconds.

He wanted to call someone else to inquire about Raelle but he didn't want anyone else to worry. He repeatedly tried to convince himself that he was overthinking. Whatever the scenarios his brain cooked up were just because of his nightmare that made him feel so restless. He told himself to be patient and wait. Maybe Raelle was stuck somewhere and forgot to charge her phone. There was no need to have such a big reaction.

But his brain wasn't willing to cooperate with him right now.

The more he tried to calm himself, the more his situation worsened. In the end, he stepped out of the hotel and started pacing at the entrance. While waiting, he was still trying to call Raelle but her phone was constantly out of reach.

So when he heard the voice that kept ringing in his mind since morning, he was stunned. Even when he looked up and saw Raelle standing right there down the stairs, he didn't dare move, and neither did he dare blink his eyes. He was scared that this was a dream and it'd shatter once he blinked.

But the girl before his eyes looked so real. She was drenched all over. Her hair stuck to the side of her face. Even her clothes were tightly hugging her body. Her clothes were so dirty but her face was still as beautiful as ever. And her eyes were just as blank as always. But the way she blinked at him seemed to be like a spell that put him in a trance.

Shui Xian slowly stepped down the stairs and came to stop at the last step. As he looked down at her, he extended his hand to touch her face. The feeling of her skin under his fingers was real. So real that his eyes widened in shock at the realization that it wasn't his dream. She was really standing right in front of him.

Raelle turned her head and looked at Anna, "Hold it." She passed her laptop bag to Anna and turned back to look at Shui Xian.

"Babes, you... You're really here?" she heard Shui Xian's silly question.

Blinking at him innocently, she tilted her head slightly, "Of course."

"How?" uttered Shui Xian incredulously. Shaking his head, he added, "And why?"

"Didn't you ask for a hug?" responded Raelle calmly as if it was the most obvious thing to do that once he asked for a hug, she had to come to him to give him that hug. She opened her arms and said, "Hug."

While Shui Xian was still in a daze, she wrapped her arms around his neck and jumped up. Instinctively, Shui Xian supported her body as she wrapped her legs around his waist. Standing at the last step of the stairs, he was also getting wet in the rain that had slowed down a little but was still constantly pouring down.

Feeling her body against his own and the way she said she came just because he wanted a hug actually was like a killer move that pierced right through Shui Xian's heart breaking down whatever resistance he had been holding on to. How could one resist her?

A huge and foolish smile made its way to Shui Xian's lips as he hugged her so tightly as if he wanted to bury her body within himself. With her heated breath blowing against his ear, he felt a tickling feeling but that feeling wasn't limited to his sensitive ear, it actually traveled down to the very core of his heart as well.

As Raelle pulled back her face and looked into his eyes, he said helplessly, "Silly girl."

"Am I?" Raelle touched the tip of her nose as she asked.

"Yes, you are," he told her certainly.

Raelle contemplated something before asking, "Then, is it a bad thing?"

Shui Xian touched her forehead with his own as he said, "No way."

"That's good enough then," replied Raelle. Taking note of how his hair was now damp because of the slow rain, she said, "Why did you come out? You're getting wet?"

Shui Xian laughed out and looked at her knowingly, "Darling, should you be talking about me getting wet in this condition?"

Only then did Raelle looked down and realized that she was wet and dirty as well. And she actually hugged him in this condition. Didn't that mean she actually made him dirty and wet as well? She squirmed as if trying to get down but how could Master Xian let that happen? She was finally in his arms and you think he'd let her go so easily?

Keep Dreaming!

"Put me down," said Raelle.

"No," replied Shui Xian as he shook his head. "Running into my arms was your decision, running out of here is definitely my decision."

"That doesn't make any sense," Raelle pointed out.

"My passionate feelings for you also make no sense," Shui Xian thought to himself with a sweet smile lingering on his lips.
