Master's Untamed Wife

1406  Pale Moonlight

Hyson felt so good after separating the pair of love birds that he felt like flying. He looked like he had achieved something remarkable in his life even though the only thing he did was to use a petty trick but people often underestimated these petty tricks. "I didn't even get to do anything," sighed Xiang Wai as she really could not play any role in this situation. Hyson handled everything on his own without any trouble. Xiang Weimin patted her shoulder and said, "You should be glad that you didn't play any role just now. Do you think Raelle would have treated you the same way as Fai? Don't be mistaken that we are still a layer away from her than Fai. Fai can do whatever he wants because he has confidence in the bond he shares with Raelle. Can you and I compare with that? It's better for us to stay on the sidelines when these two are arguing. Understand?"

Xiang Wai also woke up instantly when she heard her brother say this. Yeah, why did she forget that Raelle could calmly face Hyson but if she added fuel to the fire, Raelle might smash her head against the wall without a care. And all the trouble she went through to ease their relationship would have been in vain.

She had been too indulgent since she heard Hyson talking about tripping Raelle. How did she forget all this? She should stay awake or she might get into trouble with Raelle.

"Let's go to sleep, don't waste time here."

"Oh," although Xiang Wai agreed, she didn't make a move immediately. She slid close to Mu Chenyan and asked, "Aunt, do you think Raelle is okay?"

Mu Chenyan was rubbing her forehead. "What do you think?"

"I can't tell."

Mu Chenyan shrugged, "Raelle easily accepted the arrangement which is weird to me too. I am unsure what her mood really is. If she was really mad, she wouldn't have accepted this situation easily. But if she isn't mad then that's weird too..." Mu Chenyan felt tired just thinking about it, "Forget it, forget it. I really can't do this anymore. I am already tired. I won't think anymore. Since Elle didn't say anything then everything is fine."

Xiang Wai pursed her lips and dejectedly walked back to her bedroom. Why was it so difficult to get some information? She set her eyes on Hyson and ran towards him.

"Fai~"

Hyson shuddered and made a run for his life.

"Hey, stop! Where are you going?"

Hyson did not dare to stop and ran ahead with Xiang Wai following behind him. "Leave me alone!"

Hyson stopped but kept a certain distance from her. He was looking at her warily, "Talk normally with me. I will listen. If you used that strange greasy voice to say my name, I'm gonna run again."

Xiang Wai rolled her eyes. He really couldn't digest her being nice to her. Was it so strange that she called him sweetly? She didn't think so at all.

"Listen to me."

"What is it?" snapped Hyson.

"Why do you think Raelle didn't react much to your unreasonable request?"

"Because I didn't make any unreasonable request," replied Hyson.

"What? Really? Are you sure about that?"

"If it was unreasonable why would Raelle accept it? Don't you still understand your own sister? She would never accept anyone's unreasonable requests. Even if that person is me."

"So, you are saying that your request was reasonable that's why you both didn't clash?"

"No. I just took advantage of my knowledge regarding her character."

"Oh?"

"You might not be paying attention earlier. I said clearly that it was Raelle who wanted a traditional wedding."

"I heard that. So what?"

"So that means if the traditional wedding ceremony has a tradition of bride and groom not seeing each other before the wedding, she'll accept it. She might not know the troubles that'd be involved in a traditional wedding but she'd take them on bravely because she chose it herself!"

Xiang Wai had a look of realization and shook her head at him, "You are so insidious."

"This is why, you should not mess with me," winked Hyson as he went back to his room while humming a tune. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"He is really happy. I hope you don't get retaliated by Raelle soon," commented Xiang Wai to herself. She also went back to her own room as she couldn't understand the game between Raelle and Hyson. On the other hand, Raelle was sitting on her bed with an expressionless face. She really was mad at Hyson but if she hit him, she won't be able to justify her beating. She'd have to take it slow. She'd wait patiently for the day to get back at Hyson for this. Anyway, the last thing she lacked in life was patience!

Revenge was best served cold and she knew this best too!

"I won't forget this, Hyson." Hyson sneezed his room and knew that he was being cursed but it did not affect his good mood at all. As long as he could make Raelle uncomfortable, why care about anything else?

Raelle got ready to sleep and even laid down in bed but she couldn't fall asleep. It was clearly her time to sleep but she wasn't able to do so. She had never had any trouble with her sleep before this. She was always able to sleep once she closed her mind and emptied her mind of all the thoughts.

But tonight, it was different, she was really unable to find sleep. She closed her eyes for over thirty minutes but was still awake. Her hand touched the empty space beside hers and clenched the sheets with her hand. Sitting up, she looked around the room.

Before tonight, she had never thought that her bedroom was too big and too empty. In a sense, it was not empty. It had always been filled with books. However, tonight she had a problem with the size of this bedroom that seemed too lifeless. She held the photo frame on the side table and looked at the photo of her and Shui Xian together. She seemed to be missing him. Thinking of something, she wrapped herself tightly, put on a pair of shoes, wrapped a scarf around her head, and locked the bedroom door. Then she opened the wide window and looked outside. After carefully observing everything, she jumped out of the window. She might not like to wander around this estate but she was familiar with everything here. She even knew about the distribution of CCTV cameras. She could climb up and down without any worry. She ran out towards Shui Xian's bedroom and looked to find the best place to climb up. She looked at the tall tree, then she picked up a few pebbles keeping them in her pockets, and only then did she climb up the tree. Finding a comfortable position on the tree branch, she threw a pebble to knock on the window.

When one didn't work, she used another one and another one.

Finally, the window opened and the confused Shui Xian appeared in front of her. Because of the darkness, he couldn't find Raelle immediately. He walked on to the balcony and looked around to see how was throwing pebbles at his window when he heard the familiar voice of Raelle.

"Hey, beauty!"

Shui Xian looked toward the tree where Raelle's voice came from and had a helpless smile playing on his lips. He did not expect the situation to be like this right now. He wasn't able to sleep missing his wife and here she was. He was so delighted with this turn of event that he couldn't describe his mood right now.

"Beauty, won't you say something?"

Even though he couldn't see her expression, he could hear the teasing in her tone clearly. "What should I say?"

"It's a beautiful night, with such a beautiful moon in the sky. Would you like go on a tryst with me?"

"How would I know who is speaking if you won't even show up?"

"Tsk. Are you afraid?"

"I'm very afraid that my wife will be upset."

"So, you need to ask for permission from your wife even for a tryst?"

"Yes!" Raelle slowly emerged from the darkness and jumped on the balcony looking at him. "You're so obedient, I didn't even know that before."

Shui Xian walked to her and hugged her tightly, "I was always obedient. And you know that. Also, I only go on trysts with my own wife. How can anyone else be more beautiful than my wife? Even the moonlight pales in front of her."

"I really ccan't learn your speaking skills," commented Raelle in a muffled voice as her face was pressed against his chest. She could feel his vigorous heartbeat at the moment so clearly and it also proved how happy he was to see her right now.
