Chapter 438 - Ride
Chapter 438 – Ride
Shui Xian really stuck to his words and his eyes never left Raelle's face as she drove. Her slender and long fingers wrapped around the steering wheel, her eyes focused on the road, a couple of strands of her hair teasingly stuck to the side of her face, even that watch around her wrist seemed attractive to him.
Maybe he was really looking at her through the filter of love because everything was too beautiful to his eyes and he just couldn't peel his eyes away. She was a mesmerizing beauty. Enthralling.
Raelle wasn't bothered by his eyes boring into her face. She looked as unconcerned as ever. Her concentration was entirely on the road. But she did give him a momentary glance when she heard the 'Kacha!' sound.
He was holding a camera which he took from the backseat and clicked a picture of her. He believed he didn't have enough photos of his wife. There was none in their bedroom or in his office. There were few on his phone though. But now that he saw the orange-red sky in the background, he couldn't help taking a picture of hers.
"Was that necessary?" she inquired.
Shui Xian was admiring the photo he clicked as he replied, "Necessary. Absolutely necessary!" He grinned to himself as he went on, "Don't you like it when I smile? I just like taking photos of you. What's wrong with that?"
"Then should I smile at you?"
Shui Xian looked up, "No! That won't be necessary."
"That statement could be hurtful," stated Raelle.
Shui Xian sighed out, "Do you think I don't want to see you smile? I do! I really do! But I don't wanna see your fake smile. It bothers me and I told you that already." He took a brief pause before adding, "Don't you say I have the most beautiful smile?"
"I do," replied Raelle. "You really do have the most beautiful smile." She seemed to never get tired of saying this to him and each time, he loved hearing that.
Even now, he ended up smiling when he heard that. "Well, do you know that I never fake a smile? I'd rather not smile if it's not coming from my heart. When a smile is from the heart, the essence is different!"
"Oh…" was the only response Raelle could give since she didn't understand what he meant. "Then how can I smile from the heart?"
"You can't possibly practice that," stated Shui Xian. "It comes naturally. When your heart feels happy, it brings a twinkle into one's eyes, and the lips curled up involuntarily."
"What are you gonna do with these photos?" asked Raelle, moving away from the topic of a smile since she had never had a moment in her life where her lips would curl up against her own wishes.
"I'm gonna frame them and hang them in our bedroom," answered Shui Xian happily. "A couple of them will be placed on my office desk as well."
"Can we not hang them in our bedroom?"
"Why?"
"I don't think I have an interest in looking at my own face hanging around in my bedroom," was her answer.
"But I already sent our couple photo to be framed," said Shui Xian.
"When did you do that?" asked Raelle.
"Last weekend," replied Shui Xian.
"Even before we came back?"
Shui Xian nodded his head, "I was in a hurry."
Soon, they reached home and Raelle parked the car. As she was about to unfasten her seatbelt, she was pushed back into her seat as Shui Xian's face leaned towards her. With a 'click' he unbuckled her seatbelt and went back to his seat.
"What was that now?" she asked.
"You helped me with my seatbelt, I helped you with yours," he replied. "And don't say you didn't need that help."
"I really didn't though," said Raelle as she opened the door to alight. "You really love doing unnecessary things."
"If it's for my wife, I definitely don't mind doing even unnecessary things," replied Shui Xian as he came to stand beside her. Putting both his hands on the hood of the car, he caged her as her back was against the hood of the car. "My wife is a kickass driver. I particularly enjoyed this ride."
Raelle put her index finger under his chin and stared right into his eyes, "It was just a car ride. What's there to enjoy? It's not like I was riding you."
Shui Xian's jaw almost dropped at her statement but it seemed her finger was there to support his jaw. But he was still staring at her with his mouth agape. This woman really had no filter on her mouth. However…
Suddenly, something started stirring within him as he closed the distance between them. "The image you just put in my head is too beautiful. What to do? Now, I really want to see it."
Raelle's hand moved to the back of his head. Her fingers gripped his hair and pulled his head down saying, "See it? How about I let you enjoy it?"
Shui Xian felt his mouth going dry. Oh, how he wished to ravage her right here and right now! She not only dared to say whatever, she even dared to do it all as well. Just the thought of her above him was making something between his legs grow.
He tsked at her, "You really know how to seduce me."
"As your wife, I should have that talent," she replied. "If I don't have what it takes to seduce you and you fell into the hands of a vixen outside. Where else will I find such a handsome husband for myself again?"
Shui Xian chuckled at her words and kissed the tip of her nose, "I don't think there is any vixen like you out there. You're enough of an enchantress."
"I believe I'm doing a good job at holding on to my husband?"
Shui Xian smiled at her and nodded, "Very good!"
