Chapter 1148 [Bonus chapter] Daydreaming
Cui Xukun stood there as he looked to one side where his girlfriend was happily chatting with his niece, nephew, and brother-in-law. And on the other side was his ex-best friend chatting happily with his sister. Why did he suddenly feel so redundant right now?
Cui Xukun took a deep breath to calm himself down.
He just wanted to tease Shui Xian for being alone since Raelle wasn't around and here he was the one left alone by his family. He felt like he should shed a few tears at how miserable his life was. But sadly, he couldn't bring himself to do so.
"I say, Soren, have you hired Cloe as a full-time nanny?" asked Shui Xian.
"What the hell are you talking about?" asked Soren in return.
"Your kids are always with Cloe," Shui Xian pointed out. "So, doesn't it seem like it?"
Soren gave him a look, "These little heartless beans have become too clingy with Cloe. How is it my fault? Don't you think I'm also sad that this old father is forgotten?"
Little Xena heard her father's words and ran to his side and held his hand as she looked up at him, "Daddy, I love you!"
Soren's sadness was immediately blown away when he heard that and he leaned down to pick up his daughter in his arms as he said, "Daddy loves you too, my princess."
Xena giggled as she heard that.
Cui Xuqing facepalmed seeing this act as she said, "It took just those few words and you fell into your daughter's hands. So much for being level-headed."
Soren was suddenly shot by his own wife and he didn't retort. He just smiled at her, "But it's my daughter."
"Don't worry. I don't expect anything great from you anyway," she gave him a disgusted look and walked away. Shui Xian followed her as she took a plate and looked at the buffet, seeing what she wanted to eat this morning. "I'm telling you, Xian. If you have a daughter in the future, you have to make sure you are the one in control. Don't let your daughter's cuteness control you."
Shui Xian suddenly thought about a daughter who looked like Raelle and a strange expectation arose in his heart. He was so excited that his face flushed. He couldn't help it. He was really eager to have an adorable daughter who looked like the mini version of Raelle. But as Cui Xuqing said, would he really be able to control himself in front of the mini version of Raelle? He couldn't even control himself in front of Raelle.
Seeing his expression, Cui Xuqing tsked, "Here comes another daughter fool. You men can't change. Just don't raise a spoiled princess."
Shui Xian scratched his nose, "You don't have to worry about that sister Qing. I might lose my mind but my wife won't."
Cui Xuqing was suddenly reminded that his wife was Raelle and she laughed unkindly. "Indeed. How did I forget that? You can be foolish but Raelle is a person who won't fall for any cuteness. I can rest assured."
Shui Xian also smiled awkwardly. He might really pamper his daughter and turn her into a willful princess but Raelle won't let that happen. He was suddenly a bit scared. What if his cute daughter was also thrown into the military to train at a young age by the Xiang family? After all, it was all too common in that family.
Raelle also grew up following military rules. She just didn't go to the barracks because she didn't like crowds.
So now, he was wondering if it was better to have a son? At least, he won't feel that heartbroken seeing his son going through the hellish military training.
"Ge, why are you standing here alone? What are you daydreaming?"
Shui Xian was brought back from his thoughts by Amiah's voice and he turned his face to look but was startled. "What the hell? Why do you look like that?"
"What's wrong with me?" asked Amiah in a hoarse voice. It seemed like she had a sore throat. She was wearing dark sunglasses that covered half of her face and she even wrapped a scarf around her neck which hid the other half of her face. Even the clothes on her body were baggy and didn't look like her style at all.
He suddenly wondered if he recognized the right person.
"What's up with the sunglasses?" he asked weirdly.
"It's called fashion," she replied.
"Do I look that easy to fool?" asked Shui Xian as he observed her closely.
Amiah pushed him away, "Don't ask. Just pretend that you are fooled. I said it's fashion. So, it's fashion. No arguments."
Shui Xian frowned, "You won't tell me what happened?"
"I drank too much," said Amiah. "So, now I'm not looking very well. Just stop asking now."
Shui Xian actually didn't believe it very much but it sounded reasonable too. He knew that she drank too much last night and she must have vomited a lot too. It was possible that she felt uncomfortable now.
"Then eat something light now," said Shui Xian. "And stop drinking so recklessly."
"Okay, okay. No more lectures," said Amiah impatiently. "Why are you standing here?"
"Oh, I was with sister Qing," Shui Xian looked around and saw that while he was daydreaming Cui Xuqing had already moved to another place. "Anyway, I suddenly thought about something and couldn't extract myself from my thoughts for a while."
"You take care of yourself more," said Amiah as she gave him a strange look.
"You don't have to give your own brother that look," said Shui Xian. "Come, I'll find you something light to eat."
"I can do it myself," said Amiah as she pushed him away. "You go and see what you're eating. Also, don't you have to take something for your wife to eat before she comes down? Don't waste time on me."
Shui Xian listened to her and walked away.
Amiah heaved a sigh of relief. It was difficult to hide from her brother's scrutinizing eyes.
