Chapter 981: Love Is You
Shui Xian pulled her into his arms and captured her lips with his own. After a deep kiss, he looked at her face and said, "We can do the undressing at home. I really don't wanna do it here."
"Fine," she agreed this time. "We could have negotiated in this way from the start and wouldn't have wasted so much time here."
Shui Xian gave her a look and said, "Right. It's my fault. I haven't learned the art of negotiation yet."
"Then stay with me," she said. "I'll make you invincible!"
He intertwined her fingers with his as he said, "Oh, I'm staying. I'm staying until you get sick and tired of me."
"That won't happen," she replied.
"It means I'll follow you to the next life and continue to stick with you."
He happily left the changing room with hers and took her around the mall. They ate something light for lunch before he suggested watching a movie and she agreed.
"Which one do you want to watch?" he asked her as they stood before the cinema.
Raelle looked at the posters of the movies playing and said, "Anything you want."
"Then that one?" he pointed towards a romantic comedy and she carelessly agreed. She really didn't care what they were gonna watch.
Shui Xian bought the tickets and since it wasn't yet time to enter, they sat together to wait. "How about we go to a water-themed park next time?" suggested Shui Xian. "It'll be fun in the summers."
"Okay," she agreed again. If anyone saw, they'd think she was particularly agreeable today.
"We can go traveling as well," he added.
"When?"
"Anytime you want," he replied. "I just want you to relax. I know you're fine. But there is nothing wrong with enjoying yourself while you can. We do enough work already. Besides, what are we gonna do with all this money?"
"We can burn it."
Her response earned her a look from Shui Xian.
"What? You asked what we can do with all that money. Isn't burning an option?"
"It's not even funny," he said. "Don't try to joke, it doesn't suit you."
"Tsk. Now, my husband can't even take my jokes. Oh, poor me!"
Shui Xian almost fell down from the chair because of her reaction and was shocked.
"Baby, what the hell?"
"What? You're acting shocked as if I really burned the money."
"I might not even be this surprised if you really burned the money," he replied. "But I am very shocked right now. When did you start talking like this? Are you learning to be dramatic from Fai now?"
"I've seen him do this act for so long, I think I picked up some talent."
"Raelle, baby, I love you. I really do but trust me, you don't have a talent in this field. Please, don't do it again."
"I don't have a talent?" she asked. "What a shame! I thought I'd be better at it than Hyson."
"No, some things are only suited for specific people. For instance, this act suits Hyson. It doesn't feel out of place when he does it but when you do it, it's a different story."
Raelle listened to him and decided to really drop this act. It really wasn't her talent. She should accept her shortcomings like a mature person. Only childish people would insist otherwise.
"We can enter now, let's go," said Shui Xian and took her inside the dark cinema.
They found their couple seats and sat together. Shui Xian placed the popcorn and drinks between them as he sat down. The movie was just as he had expected, it was lovely, it was funny, and it made you shed a few tears as well. It was a complete package and he was enjoying it quite a bit.
Raelle on the other hand wasn't so certain. She hugged Shui Xian's arm and put her head on his shoulder as she watched the movie. It was obvious that she wasn't enjoying the movie but then again, she was only there for the company. The movie was never her concern. Why else would she carelessly agree to watch this movie?
It wasn't her genre anyway.
If one asked Raelle what left the most impression on her from the movie, she'd say, it was that one dialogue when the male lead stood before the female lead and said, 'Love was just a word until you walked into my life and gave it a meaning that I never knew was possible.'
That dialogue made Raelle look at Shui Xian and for the rest of the time, she was left just staring at her husband instead of watching the movie. Shui Xian didn't know what she was looking at but he let her be.
"Are you not enjoying the movie?" he asked in a lowered voice. "We can leave if you want."
Raelle shook her head, "You continue to watch. I'm enjoying myself."
Shui Xian didn't ask what she meant and continued to watch the movie. It was only after the ending that he asked what she meant and she replied, "You're enjoying the movie, I was enjoying looking at you. We have our own priorities and preferences in life."
Shui Xian almost rolled his eyes at her but could only laugh helplessly. She was on a mission to mess up his mind today. That's for sure!
"But I did like the movie," she told him. "At least, it made me realize something."
"What?"
"That love might be a word for me before but now, it's associated with with you. Love is Shui Xian to Raelle. And that's the only meaning of love that I need in life."
Shui Xian's heart jumped at her words. He had to calm down his heart. How could he be foolish enough to not get used to the fact that his wife was a smooth flirt even without trying. Something was bound to go wrong with his heart with a wife like him around.
