Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 517 - Too Nice

As they quietly ate their meal, Shui Xian enthusiastically poured wine for her. He even gave her a toothy grin as he asked her to drink.

It was not like Raelle couldn't tell what was he up to but she was unconcerned. This single bottle of wine couldn't possibly mess with her brain. It might have been possible when she first started drinking. But later, it became harder for alcohol to mess with her senses.

Just like that, they ended up finishing the whole bottle. Shui Xian first looked at the empty bottle and then at his wife who was still as gorgeous as before. His eyes lingered on her eyes for a moment and felt pity when noticed how clear her eyes were even now. However, that thought didn't linger on his mind for long since he definitely felt a little tipsy.

He was surprised by this realization. Although it was a bottle of strong wine, he did not think it'd have such an effect on him. He knew that Raelle didn't like going for drinks with her business partners but he was different. She followed the rules abroad but he had been following the local rules of business where meals and drinks were necessary for important business discussions.

So, he clearly had more experience in drinking than her. Today, however, he seemed to have let his guard down since he was drinking with his wife. It had to be because of his lowered mental defenses that alcohol found the way to attack!

"Are you okay?" asked Raelle when she noticed his shaking his head.

"I'll be right back," he said as he left to use the bathroom. He thought of splashing his face with cold water to knock himself awake.

"I'll wait outside then," said Raelle before she left the restaurant. She took out her phone from the clutch and looked at the messages. All the messages were from a single person and it wouldn't take a genius to know that the person was Hyson. Who else would annoy her with so many messages? Only he had the guts for that!

Since all were voice messages, Raelle didn't listen here. Knowing her best friend, it was better to listen at home. She had no faith in her own best friend. Not when it came to such things. Or maybe it was her strong faith in her character that she knew what kind of voice messages these were going to be.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Raelle looked up. Seeing that it was not Shui Xian, she lowered her head again. But the footsteps came to stop before her and a strong stench of alcohol assaulted Raelle's nose.

"President Raelle~"

Raelle looked up to see the face of the man who owned such a frivolous voice. Just one look and a thought came to her mind. Did she have some kind of magnetic attraction towards troubles tonight? Why was everyone looking for trouble with her?

As for how she knew this man was looking for trouble? It was obvious! The way his eyes leered at her was disgusting. It's not like she had not come across bugs like these who thought they could stick to her since she looked like this.

"President Raelle is really beautiful," said the man in a slurred manner. He lifted his hand to touch her but Raelle took a step back. "Tsk. What's the point of having such a beautiful face if you aren't even gonna let someone appreciate it?" His eyes blatantly looked at her face as he added, "How about you come with me? I'll show you a pleasant time."

"Do I know you?" she asked calmly. She didn't really want to argue with a drunk man. They were the worst to deal with. And she might be a patient person but that didn't mean her patience was reserved for scums as well.

The man showed a sad expression, "I heard President Raelle has a good memory. How can you forget me so soon?"

"Oh, then it seems you haven't heard," stated Raelle. "My brain has a special filter function. It automatically throws unimportant things or people in the trash!" She looked him up and down and went on, "And I don't remember you, it doesn't mean my memory is bad. It means my brain classified you as T.R.A.S.H! Trash!"

"You!" The drunk man's temper flared when he heard that. "I was being nice to you since you're a beauty. It seems you don't appreciate it. Then don't blame me... AHHHH!"

His sleazy hand was about to extend towards Raelle when someone held the back of his neck and kicked his calf making him scream in pain. The pain was so unbearable that his knees bent and he was forced to a kneeling position.

Raelle looked at Shui Xian and paused for a moment. There was a completely unfamiliar expression on his face right now. She had never seen it before. She had seen his cold face, his smiling face, his sad face, even his coquettish face but this was the first time she saw him angry. Really angry.

The red veins in his eyes were visible as his jaw clenched. "It seems I have been too nice lately," said Shui Xian in a cold voice that didn't match his usually sweet and pleasant voice.

Shui Xian looked up at Raelle and the coldness on his face melted instantly, "Baby, why don't you wait in the car? I'll join you in a moment."

Raelle turned to leave but stopped to say, "Don't be late." It's not she didn't know what he was up to. But did she care? No! However, it seemed he didn't want her to see that version of him. So, she'll just obediently let him be.

"Don't worry, this ant doesn't deserve that much of my time," said Shui Xian with a smile. But as soon as Raelle vanished from his sight, so did his smile.. A dark aura engulfed him as he stared at the man who was trying to remove his hand from his neck.
