1032 See Everything Clearly
“What do you think about this design?” asked Shui Xian as he showed a dress design. Raelle looked at it before looking at him as if questioning him about what he was up to. “Oh. You don’t know. So, it’s like this. Yanyan chose five designs as your engagement gown. Now, we have to decide on the final piece.”
“Why she sent it to you than sending it to me?” inquired Raelle.
“Because I know better what you look good in,” he replied calmly.
“I’m the one who is gonna wear it,” she said.
“And I’m the one who is gonna tear it off of you,” he said.
This sounded very familiar to both of them as they paused and looked at each other calmly. Finally, Raelle dropped the topic, “Then why are you asking for my opinion? Just pick the one you like.”
“She actually wants to send all the pieces home and let you try them on.”
Raelle instinctively took a step away from him.
Shui Xian found it amusing and shook his head, “I know. That’s why I didn’t allow that. I won’t let you go through something so troublesome. I like these two a lot.” He showed her the ones he liked and she agreed that both were really good. “But I’ll have to think some more to choose the final one.” Thinking of something, added, “In fact, Yanyan’s original plan was to make you wear all five pieces on the engagement.”
.....
“Huh?”
He nodded in response, “One at the start of the party, one for the ring exchange. One for greeting the guests and toasting them. One to wear on the dance floor and the last one just for fun.”
“That’d be more like a fashion show than an engagement party then,” responded Raelle.
“That’s what I thought.”
“All I’d do is change the clothes.”
Shui Xian nodded his head again, “So, that’s why I convinced her to drop that idea no matter how excited she is about it. Aren’t I good?”
“Are you looking for praise, husband?”
“Can I get some?”
“You can get it all. You can get whatever you want,” she said.
Shui Xian smiled in response and then told her, “Our engagement rings are here. Did you see?”
“Yes,” she replied.
“Do you like them?”
“We chose them together,” reminded Raelle. “Why wouldn’t I like them?”
“It’s more like I chose them,” said Shui Xian.
“And your choice is mine,” commented Raelle. “You know, husband and wife are of one heart.”
“Yes, yes.”
Raelle was actually holding the box of their engagement rings in her hands. She took them out and looked at them again. She wore the ring on her ring finger to see if it fit or not and then she put Shui Xian’s ring on her pinky finger. The ring was already bigger for her size but wearing it on her pinky was like a kid trying on an adult’s ring.
She just wore the rings side by side and looked at her hand carefully.
Shui Xian didn’t know what she was doing since her back was towards him and his attention was on the designs. He was already in a dilemma about which dress to pick out. Both were so gorgeous and he knew for sure that Raelle would look stunning in both. This made him greedy like Mu Chenyan, he also wanted to see her wearing both.
Damnit! He finally understood why Mu Chenyan had that crazy idea to turn their engagement party into Raelle’s solo fashion show. It was so damn obvious that they just wanted to see Raelle in these gorgeous dresses since it was difficult to pick only one that’d suit her.
“I’m going to deliver the engagement card to my mother tomorrow,” informed Raelle to Shui Xian.
He paused and looked up at her. She didn’t turn around and just sat there with her back towards him as she told him.
“Where are you delivering it? Did you ask her to see you outside?”
“Nope,” answered Raelle.
“Then how will you bring it to her?” he asked.
“I have my way,” she replied.
“Do you want me to come with you?” he asked the real question he was concerned about in all this.
“Don’t you find it uncomfortable to be around her?” asked Raelle in return.
Shui Xian cleared his throat. He couldn’t deny that. Who asked his mother-in-law to give him the same vibes as his wife? And he was used to Raelle’s lack of expressions, it was strange to be around Song Xin’ai and feel like you’re looking at another version of Raelle.
Even the way she spoke was so similar. That’s why he wasn’t surprised that Raelle actually got along with her. They both had so much resemblance.
“Can you blame me for feeling uncomfortable?” he asked.
“I won’t blame you for such things,” she told him. “If you want to come, you can. If you don’t want to come, that’s fine too. Either way, I’m okay. After delivering it to her, I’ll be going to Tang Hebe. I heard she got discharged. I found her address, so I’ll be going there.”
“Hmm...” Shui Xian hummed in response. “Well, you should. There isn’t much time left before our engagement anyway.”
“We’d be over with it all if Yanyan wasn’t being so perfectionist,” said Raelle.
“I won’t say anything about that,” said Shui Xian. “Yanyan is just over the moon these days. I feel like she has endless energy. She is always laughing and I’m not even used to seeing her laughing that much. I feel like she is even more excited than she’d ever be for her own engagement.”
“We won’t know that unless she gets engaged,” was Raelle’s response and Shui Xian couldn’t argue with that.
“That’s true. But is it possible?”
“Very!” said Raelle. “If only Yanyan takes off the blindfold she willingly wore, everything is possible.”
“Wow! My wife is getting even more powerful.”
“I think my understanding is better than ever now. So, I can see everything clearly.”
