Chapter 1187: Should Be Satisfied
Sadly enough for Shui Koshing, his wife's attention was always stolen by these two kids of theirs. She hardly had time to look at her poor husband once they had kids.
Raelle was observing Shui Koshing's expressions and seeing the nostalgic smile on his face, she looked at Shui Xian before saying, "Bà!"
"Hm?"
"Would you like to go on a date with me tonight?"
Shui Koshing's brow lifted up when he heard that question, "Really?"
"Do I look like someone who lies?"
Shui Koshing shook his head honestly before saying, "If what you say is true then why not. Let's do it. Tell me, what should we do?"
"We can play whatever you want and wherever you want," said Raelle. "And after that, I'll take you to a private kitchen for dinner. I heard the food is amazing there."
"I'm all in for that," said Shui Koshing.
"Let's go bowling," suggested Shui Xian.
"Who is taking you?" asked Raelle.
Shui Xian's face fell when he heard that, "What do you mean? I'm not a part of this date?"
"No," answered Raelle cruelly.
"We just got engaged and you're already abandoning me?"
"Don't make that face with me," said Raelle. "I'm taking Bà on a date. What are you gonna do?"
"I'll just play the role of background. I'll help you carry your bags. I'll help you hold your drinks. I'll do whatever is there for me to do. But you can't leave me out."
"Seeing how poor you are," started Shui Koshing. "Daughter-in-law, let's spare him some pity and let him come with us."
"Well, thank you!" said Shui Xian to his father and then turned to Raelle who hadn't voiced out her opinion yet.
"Fine. You can come with us," agreed Raelle. "But keep your word. You're the background tonight. Just a prop."
Shui Xian laughed at those words but still nodded in agreement. As long as he was able to join them. He didn't want to stay home alone. That won't be fun at all.
"I'm gonna get ready. I'll be right back," said Shui Koshing as he happily went to change his clothes. It was a date with his beautiful daughter-in-law. He couldn't possibly ruin her image by being casually dressed. He had to do his best for her. Especially when she was trying her best to make sure he was involved in everything.
Actually, he found it quite ironic that someone like Raelle was always trying to make him happy. She would share things with him and treat him as the real family. He didn't think she even did that in the Xiang family because everyone in the Xiang family was used to her silence. But in the Shui family, she was always willing to talk to him.
She would always bring interesting things and gadgets for him. Would always spare time to discuss the books they read or even would play games with him. All in all, she really didn't make him feel lonely. He knew she was doing it just so he could feel less lonely.
He understood her kind intentions and he appreciated it as well.
For the millionth time, he was glad that he gave Shui Xian an ultimatum to marry her back then. He didn't think their family would be like it was now without her.
Behind him, as Raelle was about to get up, Shui Xian held her feet in his hands tightly and didn't let her move. "What do you want, Mr. Husband?"
Shui Xian rubbed the soles of her feet with his fingers as he looked into her eyes but didn't give an answer to her question. Raelle didn't rush him either and just let him do whatever he wanted.
"Don't get tired," said Shui Xian.
"Oh? If I play wildly, you can stop me in time."
"Can't do. I'll be playing the prop. Props don't talk."
Raelle gave him a look, "You won't be talking tonight?"
"No," he responded. "I'm very serious about my roles. I played the role of a tree in the kindergarten. I was very faithful to my role. And I'm still the same faithful and dedicated lad."
"Who was so blind to make such a handsome tree though? I need to go and have a conversation with that person."
Shui Xian smiled at her, "Your focus is wrong but I love the way you want to avenge me even if it happened so long ago."
"No, I'm genuinely curious now. Why would anyone choose this face for a tree? It doesn't make sense. Even Hyson got to play the dwarf in the play."
Shui Xian laughed at that, "Dwarf? Why?"
"He was smaller than his peers when he was younger," told Raelle. "Don't change the topic. What about you? Why the tree? Who made my husband the tree?"
"I had a small fight with my cousin and since I pushed him. To apologize, I had to give him my role in the play and take on his role as the tree," explained Shui Xian.
Raelle caressed his hair, "I didn't know my hubby had been so wronged in life."
Shui Xian also played the role of the wronged guy as his eyes stared back at her, "I was really wrong. Thankfully, my mom didn't come to see the play. Or else, it would have been a disaster knowing that I lost my role." He stared at Raelle's red lips and then looked into her eyes as he added, "I still feel bad thinking about how unfair it was to me. I'm feeling sad."
His face literally screamed, 'I want hugs and kisses. Coax me.'
Raelle kissed his head and said, "Stop playing the role of a miserable guy. It was your own fault. If you hadn't been impulsive, you wouldn't have lost your role. You have yourself to blame for it."
Shui Xian seemed to have not heard her words as he tapped his lips, "I wanted a kiss here."
"Well, this is my way of telling you that we don't always get what we want in life. So, we should be satisfied with what we are getting."
