Chapter 319 – Belong To Him
"Why are you packing up?" questioned Raelle when she saw him packing his own suitcase and hers as well. "Are we going back?"
Shui Xian placed both suitcases side by side and faced her, "No. But we are checking out of the hotel."
Raelle found something wrong with those words. "Then where are we gonna spend our night?"
"If I say on the road, would you agree?"
Raelle thought about it and nodded, "Sure."
Shui Xian tucked her hair behind her ear and told her, "I'm happy to know that my wife is willing to follow me anywhere. But trust me, I will never let you suffer." He took a pause to add, "As for where we are going… You'll know when we get there."
Raelle silently followed him out. They took the car and drove out of there. Raelle only found out where he was taking her when they finally got there.
As the car drove on the driveway made of small peddles leading to a house built in woods, she looked at Shui Xian in question. Shui Xian could feel her inquisitive gaze but for now, he kept quiet. Alighting from the car, he took her hand and led her inside the house.
This modern house was built to perfection. One wouldn't expect to see a house like this in the woods. And contrary to what one might believe, there happened to more than one house around this area. It was just that each house was a considerable distance to provide privacy for each household.
"How is this place?" asked Shui Xian when he watched her looking around.
"It's nice," she answered what she thought. "Is this house yours?"
"No, it's ours!" he told her. Taking her hand, he gave her a house tour, and along the way, he informed her, "I bought this place when we first started a project in this area. But it had been empty since then. Whenever I came here for work, I was alone. I didn't think I needed to spend time in this house all alone. But since you came last night, I already planned to come here. It's just that since it's been locked for a while, I needed some time to ask someone to tidy it up and make this place livable."
"It's a good hideout place," commented Raelle.
Shui Xian chuckled and hugged her waist from behind as he said, "Then let's hide here together from the world."
Raelle didn't really react. The way he always came to give her a back hug had become natural now. For some wild reason, he loved to give her back hugs and Raelle never stopped him either. There was no reason to do so.
"When I bought this place from an old couple, I didn't know what I was gonna do with it," he said in a small voice. "But from the moment I saw you last night, I knew I wanted to bring you here with me." He smiled to himself as he nuzzled her hair and added in a husky voice, "This house was definitely meant to be ours so that I can come here with you."
"Why did the old couple sell the house to you?" asked Raelle. "I don't think the house is built for that long." Raelle could say it because the house was quite modern and luxurious but also gave off a warm and cozy feeling. The design of the house was quite smart and she really liked it. It could be seen the house was built with love so she couldn't understand why would someone sell it.
"That old couple only had a daughter who married abroad and about two years, she came back to take her parents with her. She didn't want her parents to come back so they sold the house. I guess I just got lucky."
Shui Xian was grinning when he said it. He truly felt like he got lucky. This place was no different than a lovers' hideout. How could he not be considered fortunate? When he bought it, he had no lover so he actually felt regretful for buying it. But now that he did have beauty in his arms and as he stood in this house, he felt like it was all worth it.
Since he didn't hire any staff for this house, he had to prepare the dinner on his own. He walked into the kitchen and found it equipped with everything. He had already asked someone to buy groceries so he didn't have to worry about anything else.
"Sweetheart, what do you want for dinner?" Shui Xian asked as he looked through the fridge to see what was available.
"Who is making the dinner?" asked Raelle.
"I am," answered Shui Xian. "I never got to show off my culinary skills to you before, right? Tonight, I'm planning on going all out. So, let me know what you want to eat."
"You already know I'm not particular about food," said Raelle. "Just make anything that's easy and not time-consuming." Shui Xian gave her a look as she continued, "I just think you are already tired from working all day. There is no point in wasting your energy on cooking a lavish meal. Or we can just get something from outside?"
Shui Xian felt like his heart was melting now. How can his wife be this sweet? Which bastard said she was heartless? Is everyone blind? How could they not see her precious heart? She was still worried about him.
Well, on second thought, it's good that no one else found her precious heart. Now, it all belonged to him. She belonged to him. Just him! And no one else was allowed to see this side of her except for him. What a delight!
Seeing how he wasn't saying anything, Raelle replayed what she said in her mind to think whether she said something she wasn't supposed to. But she found nothing wrong. Then why was he so quiet? Should she ask him? Maybe she should really ask him.
