Chapter 147 – What Raelle Xiang Likes…
Standing before the mirror, Shui Xian's eyes were once again drawn towards the bite mark right under his collarbone. That could be considered as his wife's work of art. Not like he was complaining though.
Just one glance was enough to make him recall the madness of last night and he licked his lips. His lips curved into a beautiful arc as he buttoned up his shirt. Last night was truly intense and he was surprised at himself as he remembered how he lost his control under her enticing gaze. Although Raelle's hands moved innocently around his body, she sure knew how to set fire with a simple touch.
"Wifey," he called out as he fixed his tie and walked into the room.
Raelle was currently arranging the documents when she looked up at him, "Yes, Hubby?"
Shui Xian opened his mouth and literally forgot what he was about to say. Why did he call her? And why did she have to answer in such a way? He shook his head to clear his thoughts and took a deep breath.
"I just realized something about you," he said.
"What is it?" she asked as she walked over to him.
"You have a thing for biting," he told her.
Raelle's hands went up to his tie and she fixed it as she replied, "Biting?"
"Whenever we do it, you always bite me," he said as his eyes were focused on her face while her eyes were glued to his tie. "It makes me think what I heard before was right."
Raelle didn't put her hand down but instead, she placed her hand over his chest as she looked into his eyes and asked, "What did you hear?"
"A lady on the streets and a freak under the sheets," he answered as he brushed the bridge of her nose with her finger. "It really is said for someone like you."
Raelle nodded her head slowly before saying, "But we weren't in the sheets last night."
Shui Xian pursed his lips to hold himself from laughing at her face. He was waiting for such a reply from her. It sounded amazing!
"That's also true," he said as he looked at her walking away. While he picked up his coat, he noticed how she turned on her laptop and sat down to work on something. Wasn't she just packing it? Why did she suddenly decide to work? "What are you doing?"
Raelle didn't move her eyes away from the screen as she replied, "You can see for yourself."
Since Shui Xian was curious, he moved beside her and glanced at the laptop screen which left him dumbfounded. On the screen was a document that read…
'What Raelle Xiang Likes?
24: Hubby noticed Raelle likes to bite during sex.'
Shui Xian blinked his eyes repeatedly in hope that maybe his eyes were playing a joke on him. That was not something anyone would record in a file on their computers!
"Wife…" just that one word and he really was struggling to find the rest of that sentence. "What is this?"
Raelle tilted her head and looked at him, "This is the list of things that people say I like. Before today, I didn't know that I like biting. You are the one who let me know this." While Shui Xian was just gazing at her in silence, she went on, "Just like Hyson once pointed out that I like watching horror movies. And also how Cloe pointed out that I like to take on challenges. I have it all noted down here."
Shui Xian contemplated her words in silence before he said, "You're trying to learn about your likes and dislikes through people around you?"
"Yes," she answered. "It's an unconscious reaction and oftentimes, I might not even notice it. That's why it's good to have people who can point out such small details to me."
Shui Xian nodded his head at her in understanding before he stood up, "Let's go down now."
Raelle also nodded her head and turned off her laptop before packing it in the bag. Shui Xian took both of their stuff and went downstairs while Raelle followed him down. They both greeted Shui Koshing who was reading the newspaper at the breakfast table as per his morning routine. The breakfast was yet to be served since they came down earlier than usual today.
Seeing that they both settled down on their seats, Shui Koshing put down the newspaper and placed a key card before them.
"What's this?" asked Shui Xian to his father.
"This is the key to your new house," replied Shui Koshing. "I have already arranged everything for you both there."
"New house?" echoed Raelle. "Are we moving? Why?"
Shui Koshing smiled at her gently, "It's kind of a tradition that newlyweds will move into their own place to build their love nest." He took a pause and added, "It's a condo I got in the best location for you both. It's closer to both your workplaces. The security is top-notch. The ambiance is great as well!"
Shui Xian was frowning at his father's decision and just as he opened his mouth to say something, his wife spoke up.
"You're not going with us?" asked Raelle.
Hearing her question, Shui Xian leaned back in his chair and relaxed. His wife was enough to deal with his father. He had all the more faith in her. Without him realizing it, he had become quite fond of her persuasion skills.
Shui Koshing smiled at her, "Why would an old man go and ruin your fun? I'm fine where I am."
"If you're not going…" Raelle paused momentarily before adding, "Are you kicking us out of the house?"
Shui Xian's lips curved up in a wide grin when he noticed the expression of his father. Serves you right, old man! Who told you to talk nonsense?!
"Daughter, how can I kick you out of your own home?" asked Shui Koshing. "This will forever be your home. You're my daughter-in-law, you're my son's wife. You have as much right to live here as my son and me."
"Then we are not going anywhere," replied Raelle straightforwardly. "If it's my home, I don't want to go anywhere else."
"I just want to give you both some privacy as a couple," said Shui Koshing.
"We have more than enough privacy," replied Raelle. "We are not moving unless you come with us. When I came to this home, you told me we are a family now. You said you'll be like a father to me. Then as a father, you shouldn't try to distance yourself from your daughter."
Shui Xian looked at his wife proudly while Shui Koshing's eyes moistened up a little and he nodded his head. He really had no words when she said her piece in such a way. What could one possibly say in reply to her words?
