Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 560 - Deal!



Chapter 560 - Deal!

Raelle didn't give him his comfort kiss. She just pushed the brim of his cap down saying, "You don't need such a comfort."

Shui Xian pouted at her and fixed his cap but suddenly smirked, "Wifey, I feel like taking my clothes off is becoming your favorite thing to do."

"Oh, it's already at the top of my list," she told him without any hesitation.

Shui Xian smiled to himself and picked up the bow and took a stance. Thinking of something, he took a bow and aimed it at the target. But because of lack of enough strength, his arrow didn't even reach the target and he looked regretfully at her, "Wife, it seems I can't do this either."

Raelle lowered her bow and looked at him, "Darling, you said the same thing about riding a horse. And from what I saw earlier, you definitely didn't look as unskilled as you claimed to me. After all, you won the bet."

Shui Xian didn't even feel embarrassed by her words but the way that 'darling' rolled out of her tongue made his breath hitch. She usually only called him 'Mr. Husband', 'Hubby', or 'Xian'. This was the first time that darling was heard in her pleasantly bland voice. Why was it getting to him so much though?

He cleared his throat and said, "Baby, can't you help your poor darling?"

Raelle walked up to him saying, "Just say you want to stick to me. Why so many excuses?"

"Well, you know my intentions," he grinned.

Raelle fixed his posture and helped him in aiming while explaining how much strength to use and how much he had to pull back his shoulder. And then he shot the arrow. Seeing how it hit the target, he turned to look at his wife and said, "It seems I always win when you're around."

"Mhmm..." was Raelle's indifferent response.

Shui Xian shot another arrow and it hit that bullseye. Fishing for compliments, he asked, "Am I doing good?"

"Very," she replied. "You really are a fast learner."

Shui Xian kissed her cheek, "I've to try harder. I can't lose my image before my wife now."

"Mr. Husband, when have you ever been concerned about keeping image and that too before me?"

Shui Xian feigned a cough, "I always am conscience around you."

Xiang Wai was leisurely feeling like walking around when she came across them again. Or maybe she had unconsciously looked for them. Or else why would in this huge resort, she'd show up right in front of these two again?

But she couldn't be blamed for it. She was drawn to that expressionless girl who talked however she wanted. Maybe Xiang Wai had always liked people like Raelle who were straightforward. Or else why would she still have Huang Shuyi in her life?

As she observed their interactions she couldn't help curling her lips up in amusement. Even if she couldn't hear anything. Just their physical interaction was enough of a show.

"Are you sure you both came here for archery and not flirting?" she subconsciously blurted out the question in her mind.

Both Raelle and Shui Xian looked over at her. She wasn't standing that far from them but neither was she that close to them.

"Does it matter?" questioned Raelle in return. "It's not like you can do either."

"Wait, was that sarcasm I just heard?" asked Xiang Wai.

"Was it?" was Raelle's question.

"Oh, don't be rhetorical with me right now. You're clearly jabbing me there."

"I was being honest," was Raelle's response. "Can you flirt here? I don't think so."

"But I am a very good archer!" Xiang Wai took a defensive stance as if her skills were being questioned right now. Did she look like she couldn't do it? She was one of the top soldiers in the Special Armed Forces! How could anyone just question her talent?!

And she definitely couldn't lose her pride before this teeny-tiny young lady who was actually younger than her! Wasn't it shameful to lose her image before her sister?

"So you are a good archer? But can we just take your words for it?" asked Raelle thoughtfully. "It's not like we have seen it with our own eyes."

Shui Xian knitted his brows a little. He could feel that his wife was purposely provoking Xiang Wai right now. But why? That was so not like Raelle. Why would she want to provoke someone? Didn't she find it troublesome?

Xiang Wai ran a hand through her short hair handsomely as she closed her eyes to take a deep breath and when she opened her eyes, she walked up to Shui Xian and took his bow from him. "Then I'll show you how good I am!"

Raelle made a hand gesture, "The stage is all yours."

Xiang Wai held up the arrow and checked its string but before she could take an arrow, Raelle spoke up again, "But wouldn't be boring just like this? How about a bet?"

Shui Xian was stumped. What had gotten into his wife today? Why was she so into bets out of nowhere? And why would she even want to have a bet with Xiang Wai? Exactly what did she want here? By now, it was clear to him that Raelle's intention of provoking Xiang Wai was to reach this point. A bet!

Now, he was curious to know exactly what was at stake here? What could even make Raelle Xiang act out and provoke someone to achieve her goal?

Xiang Wai squinted at Raelle thoughtfully.

"Are you scared, Major?"

Xiang Wai sneered, "I have never been scared in my life."

Raelle had a lot to say about what she just heard but she knew it wasn't the time yet. So, she chose to focus on the goal for now, "Then the bet?"

"What is it?" asked Xiang Wai.

"Both of us will shoot 10 arrows each and whoever wins gets to ask something from the other," suggested Raelle patiently and calmly.

"Deal!"
