Chapter 691 Going Alone

"What happened to your face?" asked Zhai Yanjun as they were walking back towards Raelle's ward. It wasn't that he hadn't noticed the redness before but he didn't ask. Now, he couldn't hold it in.

"Is it that obvious?" asked Shui Xian. "It didn't even hurt all that much back then."

"Did Uncle Shing...?" He didn't finish but the insinuation was obvious.

Shui Xian nodded his head, "Who else would dare touch my face?"

"Saozi dares to do so," replied Zhai Yanjun honestly.

Shui Xian glared at him unhappily, "And do you think my wife will do something like this to me?"

"If you really touched her bottom line, she might," said Zhai Yanjun as he shrugged. He really thought one could expect anything from Zhai Yanjun.

"You're clearly mistaken about my wife," said Shui Xian. "She doesn't raise her hand. And she doesn't have to either. I can take care of everything for her."

"Uncle shouldn't have slapped you," said Zhai Yanjun. "I understand that he cares about Saozi but you're also his son. He should understand that you'd be in agony as well."

"Forget it. I don't blame him," was Shui Xian's reply.

Zhai Yanjun looked at him, "And that must be because you think you deserved that slap?"

Shui Xian gaped at Zhai Yanjun, "Why are you getting so sharp? It's dangerous."

Zhai Yanjun shook his head once he heard that. He'd be a real fool if he didn't understand Shui Xian this much after all that time. Especially since Shui Xian always wore his emotions on his sleeves. It was quite easy to understand him. He wasn't like Xiang Wai - a mystery Zhai Yanjun couldn't seem to solve.

Shui Xian opened the door of the ward and stepped inside. When he noticed that Raelle was awake, he said to Zhai Yanjun, "You can come in and see her. Don't wait around any more."

Zhai Yanjun walked in and looked at Raelle who waved her hand at him, "Hi, Captain!"

Zhai Yanjun subconsciously smiled at her greeted and followed suit, "Hi, Saozi! You really know how to worry people."

"That was not my intention," said Raelle.

"I know," replied Zhai Yanjun. "How are you, Saozi?"

"I am good," she replied. And Shui Xian breathed a sigh of relief once he noticed how she wasn't just saying that. She really seemed to be fine now. "But Captain, is it okay for you to come empty-handed to see a patient?"

Zhai Yanjun looked down at his empty hands and bit his tongue. "I came in a hurry. It really skipped my mind. How about I get you something now?"

"Forget it," said Raelle. "I'm glad you came." Zhai Yanjun looked up at her in surprise as she continued, "Thank you for coming here for my husband. I'll always remember that."

Zhai Yanjun's smile stiffened before it bloomed into a grin, "Saozi is now making me feel like an outsider. I might not be the best of friends in the world, but I ain't that bad."

Raelle nodded her head, "Yes, you're not that bad. For this, I'm finally gonna cross out the grudge between us."

Zhai Yanjun placed his hand on his chest, "Finally! I feel like kneeling before you right now to thank you for being magnanimous."

"I don't mind you kneeling but since you're my husband's friend, I'll let you off the hook."

Shui Xian chuckled when he noticed how these interacted and Zhai Yanjun couldn't stop laughing as well. Well, there was definitely only one Raelle who could still be in the mood to play around like this after a tragedy. But then again, she never seemed like someone who would live in yesterday.

She once told Shui Xian that she didn't like looking at the past. The page of life that she had turned, she doesn't like revisiting it. It didn't mean the pain of that past will be forgotten but she won't let that one incident overwhelm her life.

"Saozi, you have to get well soon. After you get discharged, I'll take you on a date."

"Hey!"

Zhai Yanjun smiled at Shui Xian's reaction, "What? Don't friends go on dates as well? It's not the kind of date you're thinking about."

"Oh, where are we going then?" inquired Raelle.

"Didn't you want to go to a shooting range?" reminded Zhai Yanjun. "I'll take you to play with the real guns."

Shui Xian looked at him like he was an idiot, "You seriously want to take my wife to such a dangerous place?"

"She is interested in guns," said Zhai Yanjun matter-of-factly. And obviously, Shui Xian hadn't forgotten the time when Raelle had taken Zhai Yanjun's gun without him even realizing it. And he also remembered her interest but back then his thoughts were different. Now, he was just like Mu Chenyan. He really thought it was a dangerous thing for Raelle.

But unlike Mu Chenyan, he didn't have the heart to refuse Raelle.

"I want to go," said Raelle immediately making her stand clear. "Hubby, you can come with me and make sure I'm safe. But I want to go."

Shui Xian relented almost without suspense, "Okay, you get well soon first. I'll go with you."

"We can Fai with us as well," suggested Zhai Yanjun.

Raelle looked at Zhai Yanjun, "Are you sure the plan is for me and not just another trick to take Hyson out?"

"Saozi, you're making me seem like a scheming person."

*Knock! Knock!*

The door opened and a member of Raelle's security team appeared at the door who informed. He first bowed to Raelle respectfully before informing her, "Missy, Miss Tang is awake. The doctor said you can meet her now. Would you like to see her now or later?"

"I'll go now," said Raelle as she tried to get up but Shui Xian pushed her back.

"No."

"Hubby, I'm not a porcelain doll. I won't break down."

"Still no," was Shui Xian's answer.

Raelle didn't say anything after that, she just continued to look up at Shui Xian. As her eyes continued to look into his eyes, he cursed mentally before sighing out, "Fine. Let's go. I'll go with you."

"Of course, you're going with me," said Raelle. "Who said I was going alone?"
