Chapter 1003: To Be His
"I think I made very clear even to the whole world that I'm yours," said Raelle which made Shui Xian just stare at her.
Of course, she did.
He once told her he wanted to tell the whole world she was his, and she went to literally scream to the whole world that she belonged to him.
"You really put some great effort into this announcement," said Shui Xian. "Every company under your banner made an announcement. And every single person who has ever worked with you came out to congratulate making it seem like a big deal. You did with enough fanfare."
"Don't you like it?" asked Raelle. "This way, even the people who haven't heard my name would eventually see the news of my marriage." She looked at him and went on, "You're not half bad yourself, hubby. I heard you distributed gift hampers to your employees. And there is even a lucky draw happening on Weibo."
Shui Xian shrugged, "I actually prepared those things from the moment we decided to hold the wedding ceremony. You said we'd be disclosing our relationship, so I prepared things. Now, they came in handy earlier."
"You do know that I never understood your excitement for our wedding ceremony, right?" asked Raelle.
Shui Xian nodded his head, "I know. So, what about now? Do you understand my excitement now? Relate to it?"
Raelle shook her head, "I still don't understand it. I really can't relate to you at all. But I can tell you that now, I'm looking forward to wearing my wedding dress and walking down the aisle with you."
Shui Xian was actually satisfied with this answer and pinched her nose lovingly.
"Looking at you, I can't believe we have come so far together," said Shui Xian. "It's only been months but I feel like it's been years since we've been together. I can still recall the time when we met at the masquerade party."
"I remember that too," said Raelle. "You looked so unapproachable sitting all alone giving off the heavy vibes that screamed, 'Stay away from me!'"
Shui Xian chuckled, "And yet you didn't listen and approached me on your own."
"Let's just say I wanted to try something new," was Raelle's response. "I wasn't particularly keen on learning about you. But when you chose to not disclose your identity and even said all the bad things about yourself, I knew I had to do what you didn't want me to do at that time." He raised his brow at her inquisitively as she added, "Walking into your life."
Shui Xian shook his head at her saying, "I should say thank you for going against me back then."
"You're welcome," replied Raelle. "You'd have missed out on a gem like me if I had walked away as per your wishes."
"Damn! I can't even laugh at this because it's so damn true!" said Shui Xian. "That would have been the biggest loss of my life. Once again, baby, thank you for walking towards me and not away from me."
"It just proves that I Raelle Xiang have a good eye for people."
Shui Xian laughed at her words but still nodded, "Yes, yes. I'm the blind one. My wife is awesome."
"You can't be blind. How else would you see my awesomeness?"
"I forgot about that for a moment. I'm so forgetful."
"Maybe you're getting old, hubby."
"Oh, is that so, wifey?" his hands started wandering on her waist making her look at her.
"Stop playing a hooligan in the daytime?"
"I thought my wife loved to do this in the daytime."
"You're getting back at me for the changing room incident?"
"What if I am?"
"Then you're very petty."
Shui Xian bit her cheek and said, "Don't always provoke me."
"I do nothing. You just have bad self-control."
"I should work on it?"
Raelle shook her head, "No, I like it as it is. You don't have to have any self-control when it comes to me."
"Baby, you know what it felt like when you walked into my life?"
"Pray tell!"
"It felt like the biggest plot twist of my life," he said.
"Good one, I believe."
"The best one."
"Good to know that."
"What are you two doing?"
Both of them looked back at Shui Koshing and said simultaneously, "Talking."
Shui Koshing heard the last bit of their conversation so he gave them a very odd look but didn't say anything about it. There was no need to do so. These two could do whatever they wanted. He was just happy seeing them happy.
All of them had dinner together and after that Shui Koshing suggested, "Raelle, do you want to eat some desserts? How about we all go for some ice cream cake?"
Raelle paused and didn't respond immediately.
"You don't want to go out?"
"No, there is no problem with that," said Raelle. "The problem is with the ice cream cake. This dessert is confused about it's self identity. It's neither ice cream nor cake and yet it's both at the same time. Does it make sense? What if I became confused after eating it?"
"I think you already are," was Shui Xian's response.
"Then we'll eat whatever you want."
"There is no need to go out," said Shui Xian. "Aunt Yue sent some chiffon cake. We can just have that."
Shui Koshing agreed and asked the maid to bring it for them. While talking about their day and some random things, Shui Koshing suddenly asked, "Raelle, I've been wondering to ask you. What made you propose to my son?"
"I have spent most of my life following a pattern," said Raelle. "I never really had a wish or a goal in mind. Let's say after meeting Xian, I found my wish." She looked at him and said, "I suddenly wanted to be his. So, I had to do everything possible to let everyone know that too."
Shui Koshing gave his son a look as he commented, "My son really got lucky."
Meanwhile, Shui Xian was still in a bit of a daze. He was already not able to overcome the impact of seeing her getting on her knee to propose to him and now, these words yet. He had been trying to hold it in but whenever she did, he really couldn't hold back his tears. He was such an embarrassment.
