Chapter 176 – Not An Angel
Although Shui Xian was feeling distressed in his heart, one couldn't possibly find any change in his expressions though. In fact, his lips even curved up into a wide smile that his wife seemed to be fond of.
"I feel pity for the men who were too blind to see how gorgeous my wife is." Shui Xian touched her nose as his smile turned even gentler.
"Isn't it enough that you can see it?" questioned Raelle.
Shui Xian paused momentarily because of her words before he said, "You! You're a born flirt!"
"Am I?" she wondered out loud.
"Yes, you are!" retorted Shui Xian and stood up. As he didn't leave her hand, she was also pulled up from the chair. "And that is why it's difficult for me to understand what you're doing to me."
"Honestly speaking, my intentions are quite pure here," said Raelle in her defense. It never even crossed her mind to play with his feelings. Especially when she couldn't even figure out what feelings are.
Shui Xian turned towards her saying, "I'm suddenly quite intrigued to figure out what your impure intentions would look like. And I'm actually scared of that as well. After all, if your pure intentions are messing with her heart, I can't even imagine what your impure intentions would do to me."
Raelle blinked at him innocently, "I have nothing to say about that."
Shui Xian shook his head at her and looked at the cashier at the counter as he had to pay the bill.
"Sir, our café is currently celebrating its third anniversary week and that's why we have arranged a game for our customers. There are exciting prizes for everyone. Would you like to give it a try?" The cashier was a young girl who couldn't hold back her smile as she gazed at Shui Xian and Raelle. It wasn't her fault, the couple was too eye-catching.
In fact, there was another reason why she couldn't look away. Since this couple walked in, they both only had eyes for each other. The way they looked at each other could make anyone feel envious.
Even now, Shui Xian looked at his wife to ask for her opinion and the said wife just shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly as if to say, 'Up to you.'
So, since it was up to him, Shui Xian naturally chose to play the game. It wasn't even that difficult. He just had to throw a dart at the spinning wheel. And when the wheel stopped, they could see on which prize his dart had hit on.
The young girl clapped her hands, "Both of you get movie tickets. Congratulations!" She went over to get the tickets and gave them to Shui Xian.
Finally, with the movie tickets, they left the café. "It's a romantic comedy. Want to go?"
Raelle stopped on her way and Shui Xian also had to stop to look at her. Although there was still no expression on her face, he could tell she wasn't very keen on watching a movie. And that too a 'romantic comedy.' No matter how he looked at it, he couldn't imagine her sitting through a romantic movie.
Suddenly, she looked over at another couple who walked out of the café and her eyes were stuck on the box they were holding. Seeing how her eyes followed that couple, Shui Xian sighed inwardly before saying, "Give me a minute." With that, he walked over to that couple and had a discussion with them with a polite smile on his face. Eventually, he managed to exchange his movie tickets with the prize they won. He had a proud smile on his face as he passed the box over to his wife, "Here you go. It seems like these macarons are a lot more exciting to you than going to a movie with your husband."
Raelle opened the box in her hand and looked inside. There were cute mini macarons in the shape of animals. There was a kitty, a bear, and a bunny as well. These looked super adorable.
She appeared satisfied to have this as she said, "I'm gonna bring this to Bà." Shui Xian was stumped for words when he heard her intention. "Since he can't come to try it, I'll just bring it back for him."
Shui Xian placed his hand on her head, "Wifey if you wanted this for Bà, we could have just bought some for him."
Raelle shook her head, "They don't sell these. Didn't you hear earlier? All the prizes are exclusive for this week. You can't buy these special macarons. You can only win these."
"Bà won't mind having the other macarons which are less special in your opinion."
"But why should we give him less special when we can give him the most special?" Shui Xian was lost for words yet again. "Besides, don't you know that Bà likes cute things. Haven't you seen the special coffee mug that he places in his library?"
Was he supposed to tell her that he really didn't know that his father liked cute things? Besides, when did he start liking such stuff? How come he never noticed that his father's taste was changing with his age?
As they settled in their car, Raelle suddenly recalled something and said, "Oh, earlier you said it's not exciting for me to go to movies with you. That is kind of true. But only because I can't sit through a movie which I'm not even interested in."
Shui Xian swerved the car towards the highway and only then asked her, "So, what kind of a movie do you like? I heard from Yue Fai that you like horror movies."
"Whether I like horror movies or not can be debated," she replied. "However, it's true that I've only gone to watch horror movies in a cinema."
"If you don't like it why did you go?"
"Because Hyson doesn't like it," she responded straightforwardly. "Since he always drags me along to watch a movie and waste my time then I should definitely make him watch something that won't let him sleep for at least two nights."
Shui Xian gaped at his wife, "Oh my god! I didn't know my wife had evil intentions as well."
"Well, I never claimed to be an angel."
