Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 478 - Jade Immortal

"Bà, do you want a grandchild?"

Shui Koshing was so shocked to hear that question from Raelle that his chopsticks fell down and he was left gaping at Raelle in disbelief. Staring at her limpid eyes, that gorgeous yet expressionless face that never gave anything away, he really couldn't tell what she was up to by asking such a question out of nowhere.

However, no matter how shocked he was, he still had some reason intact. That's why he soon recovered. He knew that Raelle wouldn't ask questions without a reason. So, if she asked this question, there had to be something behind it.

On the side, even Shui Xian was staring at her strangely. However, he wasn't as shocked as his father. They had had this conversation before so he wasn't that surprised.

Shui Koshing picked up his chopsticks and placed them aside, before taking a new pair of chopsticks to eat. "It's still early to talk about that."

"Early?" came the question from Shui Xian. "Weren't you eager to have a grandkid to play with? How come your statement changed when she asked?"

Shui Koshing gave his son a displeased look, "I only said it to make you get married. That didn't mean I was eager to have a grandchild so soon." He looked at Raelle and smiled, "Besides, look at my daughter-in-law. She is young. These are her years to enjoy life."

Shui Xian really didn't know what to say about his father's obvious biasedness at this point. But he couldn't disagree with him either. First thing first, he didn't want to be a father so soon. And then, he didn't want to bring a kid between him and Raelle as well. As his father just said, these years are for Raelle to enjoy life.

"But Raelle, why did you suddenly think of this?" questioned Shui Koshing.

"Oh, it's because..." Then she explained to him how during the meeting in the company one of the directors received a call informing him that he became a grandfather. The old director was so happy that he couldn't contain his happiness. It was only because of that that Raelle came to this question.

Shui Koshing shook his head as his eyes turned gentle, "Forget it. I think I'm still young to be a grandfather."

Shui Xian chuckled when he heard his father saying that.

"All I want is for you and Xian to hold a grand wedding and announce to the whole world that you're together," stated Shui Koshing ignoring his son's reaction. "Also, I want you both to go on a honeymoon at least once a month."

"Once in a month?" repeated Raelle.

"Why? Too much?" asked Shui Koshing. Raelle nodded and he pursed his lips thoughtfully before saying, "Okay. Then at least twice in a year?" He took a pause and added, "In fact, all I really want is to see you both enjoying your life. Work is a part of life that is neverending. But you should give yourself some time to enjoy yourself as well."

"I agree with that," Shui Xian hurriedly agreed with his father on this point.

"Of course, you agree, Husband," said Raelle. "Lately, you've been trying to find every excuse there is just so you don't have to go to work."

Shui Xian wasn't even embarrassed at being seen through by his wife as he leaned towards her and said, "Isn't it, your fault? In ancient times, the Emperor didn't want to attend the morning court for the sake of the heavenly beauty in his harem. How can I think about working when I have a jade immortal enchantress in my arms?"

Shui Koshing covered his mouth to laugh out.

"Behave," said Raelle. "Bà is still here."

Shui Xian placed his head against her arm saying, "Bà doesn't mind. Do you, Bà?"

Shui Koshing narrowed his eyes at his son and nodded, "Why would I mind? In fact, if you want some time off, let me know. I still have enough power in me to deal with the business. You can enjoy your time with Raelle."

Shui Xian blinked at his wife, "See? My Bà is so understanding. He is even willing to give me a way out to play hooky!"

"Bà is obviously the best," said Raelle.

Shui Xian nodded, "He is obviously the best. How else did he manage to snatch my mom?"

Raelle looked at Shui Koshing who smiled to himself at the memory and said, "Daughter-in-law, you don't think it was easy to get my wife, do you?"

"Wasn't it?"

Shui Koshing shook his head, "Definitely not. She was the school belle. She had way too many options. I wasn't the only one who had a crush on her. There were others as well. Some even who had the better qualification to court her than me."

"Then how did Bà end up with Auntie?" asked Raelle.

"I didn't do anything extra special," replied Shui Koshing. "After school, I didn't even think we'll see each other again. She was dating that same someone who had better qualifications than me. So, I really thought I lost my chance."

"Bà, you never even told me about that," said Shui Xian in surprise.

Shui Koshing glanced at him, "You never asked." He shrugged and continued, "But my dear daughter-in-law, even though that someone was better than me, he couldn't compete with my sincerity in the end. Your auntie was meant to be mine."

"And here I thought you and mom had a very boring love story," stated Shui Xian. "Because she often said that you proposed and she accepted just like that. I thought there was nothing more to it."

"How could there be nothing more to it?" retorted Shui Koshing. "It's just that she didn't want to give details so she chose to tell you the shorter and the most boring version of the story to make you lose interest."

Shui Xian suddenly felt like he had been deceived by his mother. Thinking of something he asked, "Bà, who was mom's ex-boyfriend?"

Shui Koshing's face changed and he refused to answer, "You continue to eat. No more questions."

Shui Xian wanted to question again but felt someone tugging at his sleeve. He looked down and saw how Raelle was holding his sleeve to stop him.. Getting the signal, he stopped asking.
