Chapter 1240 The Game Of Luck
Both Cloe and Xiang Wai hurriedly caught up to Raelle.
"Raelle, there is no need to be mad about it," said Xiang Wai.
"I'm not mad," answered Raelle. "I just find it particularly pointless to stay there and watch you two argue about a pair of rings. You both either get the same design or you both go and 'get another unique design. That way, no one will be a clear winner. Isn't it fair?"
"It's fair," commented Cloe. "But I'm unwilling."
"Me too."
"Then get the hell out of my face!"
Cloe and Xiang Wai shared a look and both scratched the bridge of their nose. Although Raelle's words were very fair and the best way to end the argument too, they really were unwilling. How could it be so easy to give up?
"Let's pick a winner," suggested Xiang Wai.
"How?" asked Cloe.
Xiang Wai contemplated for a while before saying, "Rock, paper, scissors?"
Cloe's lips twitched when she heard that. "Really?"
"Yes! Don't think it's dumb and childish."
"Isn't it?" asked Cloe.
"No, it's not," said Xiang Wai. "Rock, paper, scissor is also a game of luck. It's also easy and time efficient. We can find the winner, instantly."
"We should compete based on our strengths," said Cloe.
"No. Luck is a big part of life. Whoever wins, it means the rings are fated for that person. Competing of strengths won't make that clear."
Cloe almost fell for her words and was about to nod to agree but held back and asked, "Chief, what do you say?"
They turned their heads and found that Raelle had disappeared at some point. They frantically looked around before finding Raelle standing in front of a snack shop. They again ran over to her and told Raelle what they discussed. Now, it was Raelle's turn to give them a disgusted look.
"One of you is Raelle Xiang's competent assistant and the other is a Major in the army. And you came up with the idea of deciding on a winner with rock, paper, scissors? Are you both for real?"
"See?" started Cloe. "Even Chief thinks it's wrong."
"Actually, just go with it and get done with it. I won't be wasting time anymore here," added Raelle.
"Then you'd be the referee," said Xiang Wai.
"This also needs a referee?" asked Raelle.
"YES!"
"Okay, okay. Just start already," said Raelle as she mentally decided to never come out shopping with these two women ever again. Coming out shopping with her husband was still the best. At least, she could enjoy the exclusive fashion show. Here, she had to play the referee for these kids.
Thinking of this, she even ended up sending a 'I Miss You' sticker to Shui Xian who found this very random and frowned as he stared at the sticker for a long while in silence, trying to understand what kind of a situation prompted this result from his wife. Unfortunately, he could only guess for now since no one was there to give him a clear answer.
Raelle took a bite of the Tanghulu she just bought as she looked at the girls playing their childish game. In the first round, Cloe played rock while Xiang Wai opted for the paper making her the winner. But Cloe wasn't convinced and said, "This was just the first round. Two more to go. How else would we decide?"
Xiang Wai rolled her eyes at her but still played along. But sadly for Cloe, she didn't even win one round. So, the clear winner was Major Xiang Wai who jumped happily. 𝘣𝘦𝑑𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝑙．𝑐𝑜𝘮
"Are you that happy?" asked Cloe sullenly.
"Very!" Xiang Wai laughed, "The rings are mine. I'm going to buy those. Wait for me."
Cloe waved her off angrily and seeing her trotting away, she said unwillingly, "It was my idea to propose to my boyfriend. Why did she come along in the picture?"
"She came from exactly where you did," answered Raelle. "I don't even understand what are you two doing. Can't wait for your boyfriends or what?"
"Can wait. But when there is a better option, why wait?" asked Cloe. "Besides, Chief. You're the trendsetter here. And I think Xiang Wai would agree that after seeing your proposal, it's very clear to us that taking the first step isn't wrong or demeaning when you know that's what you want. And I'm very clear that that's what I want in my life and it's clear from Wai's expressions that that's what she wants too. Or she won't be in a hurry. I heard she had been badly hurt in her relationship and yet, in the end, she came to realize that she still loved the same person. Since she knows she is happy with him, then why not take a step forward, right?"
"It's not good to always follow the trend," said Raelle.
"You won't understand it, Chief," said Cloe. "After all, you have always been the trendsetter. How can you understand the psyche or happiness of the trend followers?"
"Yeah, whatever! Just be happy!"
"I'm not happy. I didn't get my rings!"
"Go back and find another pair. There can't be just that one pair that caught your eye. If not there, choose another brand. There must be a pair of rings with your name on it."
"I don't know if my name is on a ring but I think it's a good idea to engrave my name with Kun's on the ring. Chief, thanks for the idea."
Seeing her running away, Raelle was left standing with a half-eaten stick of Tanghulu in her hands. "Is it just me or these girls are too energetic?" she asked herself.
She wasn't expecting an answer but she ended up getting one.
"It's not just you," Raelle looked over and found Xiang Weimin standing beside her. "They do look very energetic to me too."
"What are you doing here? Are you gonna buy the rings for her too?"
"I haven't even bought rings for myself in life, why would I jump up to buy it for my sister?"
