Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 73 - The Beauty

Since Shui Xian had decided to buy her something, he definitely didn't plan on going back on his words. In fact, even if he had to drag her, he'd do it. He usually wasn't fond of shopping but today seemed especially fun because of his wife.

Maybe because he was having too much fun, he ended up buying a lot of things. And when he realized it himself, it was already too late. How come he didn't even realize it sooner? Was he really enjoying it that much? He felt really complicated.

In the end, Raelle had to hold his hand to stop him, "Hubby, let's go for dinner. If we continued, I have no doubt that you might end up buying everything here." She had no problem with that. But she thought it was enough for today.

Shui Xian pinched his eyebrow saying, "But all the dresses looked good on you."

Raelle patted his shoulder, "I know. I can make anything look good." Shui Xian raised his brow at her and she continued, "You have a doubt?"

He shook his head while suppressing a smile, "I definitely have no doubt."

Shui Xian had chosen a restaurant close to the mall. And when they reached there, Raelle noticed how they were the only people in the restaurant. It seemed her husband took her words seriously and really booked the whole restaurant for them.

Sitting beside the glass windows, Raelle had the perfect night view of the city before her eyes. The city was alive with lights that echoed heaven's stars. These colorful lights made the city come alive as those lights danced to the rhythm of their own music. It looked beautiful. But Raelle's favorite was the river that flowed through the center of the city.

"When is your friend coming?" asked Shui Xian. He really didn't want to disturb her as she looked engrossed in appreciating the view with those beautiful eyes of hers. But he had to do so.

Raelle shifted her eyes away and was about to speak when they heard a loud noise. "He's here," was all Raelle said even without seeing where that noise came from.

"Argh!" Hyson held his phone as he cried out. "It broke! It broke again! I just bought it!"

Shui Xian looked at the young man who was scowling in distress at the broken phone in his hand. The young man was wearing washed up jeans with a dark blue hoodie. His hair looked untamed and so did he. This casual look didn't diminish his beauty. In fact, it gave him a different kind of beauty. For instance, if Raelle could be described as an elegant and sophisticated beauty, he seemed rather wild and carefree.

Only this much was enough for Shui Xian to know how different these best friends were from each other. And this made him, even more, intrigued to learn about this best friend.

Raelle also looked up at Hyson and continued to stare for a while before saying, "You spent the past 8 hours trying to choose what to wear, and in the end, you picked this out?" She really didn't know what to say. How did his brain work? At this point, she even questioned whether his brain worked or not?

Hyson gave her a displeased look as he said, "Let's be silent for 3 minutes."

"What for?" she retorted.

"I'm mourning my phone," he replied as he showed her the broken phone in his hand. "It just died. Have some empathy." Before Raelle could say anything, he opened his mouth to add, "Oh, I forgot! You don't have any empathy to spare. My bad, I expected something you're not capable of."

Shui Xian pursed his lips and decided to stay quiet for now. He wanted to see how this would continue. So, he silently observed them.

"I told you, expectations in life are unhealthy," reminded Raelle.

Hyson rolled his eyes at her and said, "And I told you to observe silence for three minutes. Clearly, we both are not listening to each other."

"It's just a phone," said Raelle. "I'll just buy you a new one."

Without even thinking, Hyson sat down on the chair beside her, "Don't go back on your words!"

"Have I ever?" she questioned.

Hyson gave her a sly smile before looking at his phone, "Sorry, darling! I loved you but as my rich friend always says, we can always buy a new love!" He gave Raelle a huge smile as he went on, "Rich friend, I'm so happy to have you in my life."

"I never said we can buy a new love. If I remember correctly, I said we can always buy a new phone," Raelle corrected him.

Hyson tutted at her, "In my case, my love is my phone. That can be bought. You just said you'd buy it for me. And since I can get a new love, why dwell over the previous love that gave up on me? I'll just consider that our journey together was supposed to end here."

Shui Xian's eyes flashed with an indescribable emotion as he continued to look at Hyson's face in a daze. Technically, he wasn't staring at Hyson. Because the latter's words had already sent his mind on another journey.

"Aren't you very practical?" remarked Raelle.

Hyson shrugged his shoulders, "It's all because of you. I was such a good kid, then you came crashing into my life. Now, I'm not good at anything."

"How many phones have you even broken till now?"

"I lost the count after 23," replied Hyson casually.

"How did this one break?" questioned Raelle.

"Isn't it all your fault?"

Raelle gave him a look, "It's always my fault. But do enlighten me how this one is my fault as well?"

Hyson kindly told her, "I was so excited to come inside but when I did, my eyes fell on a beauty. It was so dazzling that I ended up tripping on my own."

"My beauty bedazzled you?" she responded.

Hyson grinned and flicked her forehead lightly before saying, "Who said I was talking about you? I'm talking about the beauty sitting with you." Only now, Hyson moved his eyes to Shui Xian who had been silently watching them till now.
