Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 72 - Belongs To Me

Unlike Raelle, Shui Xian wasn't very particular about lunch. And to make sure that he'd be able to leave on time today, he actually spent his lunch hour working. Or it'd be right to say that he was so engrossed in work that he completely forgot about lunch. Like he usually did.

"Master Xian, it's 5 o'clock."

Ma Jin didn't know why his boss had asked him to do it. But he did as he was told. He informed his boss that it was 5 o'clock. No matter how strange he found it, he didn't voice it out. It's not like even if he asked, he'd receive an answer from Shui Xian.

He clearly knew there was nothing on Shui Xian's schedule planned for 5 o'clock.

Shui Xian also looked at his watch and started cleaning up his desk. His assistant was left staring in a daze as he said, "You can leave on time as well. I'm leaving."

"Master Xian, are you going to have dinner with President He? Didn't you say no to him?"

"Why would I go out on dinner with him?" retorted Shui Xian. "I also have a personal life."

Ma Jin so wanted to retort, 'Do you? Do you really have a personal life?' Because in the past four years, he hadn't seen his boss having a personal life. Everything in his life revolved around work. So, it was truly shocking for him to hear this.

Shui Xian didn't pay attention to him and left the office. Instead of leaving at 5:30, he left at 5 o'clock just so that he could avoid getting later in traffic like it happened yesterday. And because of that, he arrived at the shopping mall earlier than Raelle.

Raelle was right on time as well. As they met up, Shui Xian held her hand saying, "Stay close."

"How close is close?" she questioned. She took a step closer to him as her chest rubbed against his arm and said, "This is close." Then she leaned more and the front of her body was right against his as she added, "This is also close." After that, her face grew close to his. Their lips had only so much of a distance between them that only a sheet of paper could pass through. "In my understanding, this is also considered close."

Keeping that close proximity, Shui Xian said, "This is called too close."

"Too close for comfort?" she questioned.

"Oh, I'm oddly very comfortable," he replied. "But this isn't the place for it."

Raelle nodded at him and took a step back saying, "So, what do you want?" She pointed around them saying, "Take your pick. Whatever you want, I'll buy it for you."

Shui Xian gave her a little smile before he hooked his finger and traced the bridge of her nose saying, "Let's look around, okay?"

"Okay," she replied.

Both of them took the elevator and Shui Xian took her to a high-end clothing brand. It's not like he lacked clothes at home. Most of his suits were tailored specially for him. But he thought buying something with her would definitely be a new experience. Even if they were buying just clothes, it was something new for them.

Raelle languidly ran her eyes over the racks and took out a wine red suit. She held it before him saying, "Try this one."

Shui Xian didn't take it as he said, "It's supposed to be my gift."

"Yes, it is," she replied.

"I'm the one who is gonna wear it," he added.

"Obviously," was her response.

One of his brows lifted up slightly as he questioned, "Then why are you the one picking it for me?"

Raelle pushed the suit against his chest as she said in a flat tone, "Because most probably, I'm the one who is gonna take it off."

Shui Xian ended up coughing because of her response.

Raelle looked at his reaction and said, "That was a joke." Why was it that whenever she tried to make a joke, it'd make people cough rather than laugh?

Shui Xian gave her a not so believing look before he took the suit from her hand and went to the trial room. When he came out, Raelle looked at him up and down with appreciation.

She even muttered to herself, "Earlier it was really a joke but now I feel like taking it seriously."

"What did you say?" questioned Shui Xian.

But before Raelle could say anything, the shop attendant went up to his side, gushing, "Sir, this looks perfect on you. It's like it's made just for you."

Raelle looked at the way this shop attendant's hands were on her husband's shoulder and took a hanger before hitting that hand of hers. The shop attendant was taken aback and flinched back.

"I don't like people touching my things." This was all that came out of Raelle's mouth. And even though her voice had no emotion, it made the shop attendant's back to turn numb.

She bowed her head professionally and said, "Call me if you need anything."

Shui Xian looked at her strangely as he said, "I didn't know you're possessive."

Raelle shrugged her shoulders, "I already told you, I don't like strangers touching me. How can I like strangers touching what belongs to me?"

"So I belong to you now?" he questioned.

"I have legal proof that you belong to me, want to see?"

Shui Xian shook his head. He also had the same marriage certificate. He didn't need her to show him any proof.

Raelle took him before a full-length mirror as she asked, "What do you think?"

He looked at the reflection before his eyes before saying, "I've never tried this color before."

"There is always..."

"A first time for everything." Shui Xian ended up completing her sentence for her. He turned his eyes to look at her through the mirror as he asked, "Do you like it?"

"Handsome!" she replied.

He touched her head saying, "Then we'll just buy it."

"Not we," she retorted. "I'll be buying it for you."

"Yes, yes," began Shui Xian. "My wife is buying it for me. Thank you so much, wifey!"

Raelle waved him off saying, "You'd do the same, Hubby!"

"Since we are already here, let me do the same for you already," he said. "Come, I'll buy you a gift as well."

"What for?" she questioned.

Shui Xian gave her a look, "I don't need a reason to buy a gift for my wife."
