Chapter 629 Bed Warmer

"Bà, who are these people?" Raelle had just come back from work when she found strangers sitting in the living room with Shui Koshing.

"Oh, daughter-in-law, you're back!" Shui Koshing welcomed her home with a big smile. "It's good that you're back. We were waiting for you."

"For me?" asked Raelle.

"Yes," answered Shui Koshing and beckoned her to come close. "This is Miss Beatrice. She is an internationally renowned designer. I heard she was holding a fashion show this weekend in the Capital and I just had to invite her here to meet you."

"Why?" Raelle wasn't really following this conversation. She couldn't understand what did this have to do with her. And why did her father-in-law call this designer here for her?

"Aiyo, aren't you attending that state banquet tomorrow?" questioned Shui Koshing.

"It's not a state banquet," Raelle cleared it up. From that one question, she already understood where this conversation was going.

"It's the same thing," emphasized Shui Koshing. In fact, when Raelle first told him that a minister invited her to a dinner party, he didn't think much about it. It was only days later when he learned from his circle what kind of a dinner party it was that he wanted to shake his daughter-in-law and ask her, why she was so casual about it?

Did she think just any businessman was allowed to enter that dinner party? Because the answer was, no!

"Anyway, for an important event, we need an extra special dress," said Shui Koshing. "Miss Beatrice will help you with that."

Raelle wanted to tell him that all her designer dresses were already customized from different parts of the world. Her Yanyan loved to pick the latest houté couture for her from every new collection. She never even got to wear all those gowns.

But considering how her father-in-law had taken the initiative and looked so excited as well. She couldn't refuse him. At the end of the day, she was really a softie in front of people like her father-in-law who genuinely cared about her. Since she couldn't say no, it was better to go along with it.

It was just a adding a new dress into her collection. No biggie!

"Hello, Miss Beatrice!" Raelle greeted the designer politely. "Sorry to trouble you like this."

Beatrice saved her hands saying, "There is no trouble. It's my honor to meet President Raelle in person. Usually, someone else orders your gowns. So, I never got the chance to see you in person."

Indeed, this designer was also in the list that Mu Chenyan kept with her and picked dresses like cabbages.

"I brought some dresses with me which I think would be perfect for you," told Beatrice and asked her assistants to show the dresses to Raelle.

Meanwhile, Shui Xian had been upstairs in his study. He came back earlier than Raelle today and he was surprised when he noticed that his wife wasn't back till now. Usually, she'd tell him if she was running late. But now that he texted her, she didn't get back to him. What's going on? He wondered to himself.

After he was done with the calls that kept him busy since the time he came back home, he went downstairs. When he came down, Miss Beatrice was leaving with a happy smile on her face along with her assistants. Shui Xian raised his brow seeing this stranger and then he looked at his wife and his father.

And here he was thinking that his wife hadn't come back. In fact, she was back but she just hadn't went upstairs to look for him. He went to stand beside her and asked, "When did you come back?"

"It's been a while," answered Raelle. "Bà asked me to choose a gown to wear tomorrow." She took a pause and added, "Maybe we should pick a new suit for you as well."

Shui Xian's face fell when he heard that, "There is no need for that."

"Why?" she asked.

Shui Xian tucked her hair behind her hair gently as he told her, "I'm afraid I won't be able to join you tomorrow." Raelle looked at his face as he answered with his dimmed eyes looking at her face, "There is an issue at one of the subsidiaries in Huangzhou and I have to go over there tomorrow."

Raelle thought about it and nodded in understanding, "So, when will you be back?"

Shui Xian pinched her nose, "Won't ask me to stay but you want to know when I'll be back?"

"You know I won't stop you," she reminded him.

"Yes, I do," he sighed. How can he not know that? His wife didn't like throwing tantrums and she wasn't as clingy as he was. So, how can she ask him to stay? But it was already good enough that she wanted to know when he'd be back. That meant she'd be waiting for him. "Don't worry. I'll be back soon."

"You have to elaborate that 'soon'," Raelle pointed out to him.

"Soon means, it can be a day or it can take two days. But maximum two days. My personal wish is to come back tomorrow at the latest. Even if everything is done at midnight, I'll be coming back right then and there. And don't tell me I can take my time."

"I wasn't going to," she said. She hugged his waist making him feel a bit surprised as she placed her chin on his chest and looked up at him, "You come back soon. I'll wait for you."

Shui Xian pursed his lips but couldn't suppress his smile at all. He didn't want to hide it either. He just realized that this was the best form of clinginess he could get from her. And he was so happy to see it. Shui Xian kissed her forehead and placed his chin on her head saying, "Of course, I'll come back soon. Who wants to sleep on a cold bed? I'd rather come back and hug my wife to sleep."

"So what am I? A wife or a bed warmer?" she asked making him speechless.

He rubbed her head, "You're both!"
