Chapter 541 - Puppy

Just a minute ago, Lin Zhen saw Shui Xian playing with a dog. His dog to be precise. But now, standing beside Raelle, Shui Xian looked like a big dog himself. Lin Zhen had to shake off this thought that suddenly popped up in his mind but it seemed to not help at all.

In his head, Shui Xian had a tail behind him that seemed to start wagging in excitement as soon as his eyes set on Raelle. Oh, he couldn't unsee those puppy eyes. What the hell! That was his big boss! He had huge respect for Shui Xian. Not that it changed now but certainly, the image of mighty Master Xian had long crumbled.

However, the image of President Raelle Xiang was hard to shake. But calling her hard to approach was wrong. She seemed simpler than most people he came across. In the entertainment industry, it was rare to find people like Hyson who were honest and sincere. Now, he was certain why Hyson was best friends with Raelle. They both were actually simpler than most people.

"See you around, Lin Zhen," said Raelle as she walked in front while Shui Xian had to keep his distance since he had germs on him. 

"Bye, President Raelle!" Lin Zhen called out from behind. "Bye-bye, Master Xian!"

Seeing them walking away, Lin Zhen couldn't move his eyes away. It was insane how Shui Xian seemed to be the clingy type who wanted attention just like Coco always came to him for attention and love and cuddles and even some pats. Lin Zhen knocked on his head. "You should really stop it now brain." Lin Zhen warned himself to stop thinking about Shui Xian as a cute puppy. 

That was a horrible image!

"Darling, where are we going today?" asked Shui Xian, still trying to grab his wife's attention.

"I'll take you out," was the only response Raelle gave him.

"Where?"

"You'll know when we get there," she replied.

"Then you're taking me out on a date?" he questioned.

"You can call it that if you want to," she said blankly. "No, wait! It is a date." She turned to face him and added, "So, Mr. Husband, I'm asking you out on a date. Would you like to go out with me?"

"I'll even go to hell with you," was Shui Xian's answer. He was more than ready to follow her anywhere. He didn't know how those big bosses in tv series always had plenty of time on hand to woo their girls? How did they even manage to find that much free time? 

Whether it was him or Raelle, they both only had time over the weekend to go out together. On weekdays, they just couldn't make as much time as he would have liked. But unless he wanted to go bankrupt, he really couldn't act carelessly and run from his responsibilities. Although he believed Raelle was his biggest responsibility, his wife didn't think so. 

"You can't follow me to hell," said Raelle making Shui Xian raise his brow at her. "Hell can't handle a cutie like me."

Shui Xian was gaping at her with wide eyes and burst out laughing so hard that his body convulsed. It couldn't be helped. She just called herself a cutie! Who would believe that? This was the woman who didn't think there was anything cute about her even though he found her the cutest but it seemed just because he believed her to be the cutest one, she started believing it.

He suddenly didn't know how to react to this information. He so wanted to hug her but she won't let him, he knew it. He sighed, "My cutie is certainly too cute for hell to handle." He took a pause and added, "But there is another reason why hell won't take you in."

"Oh, why?"

"The devil might get a heart attack just listening to your thoughts and views," he stated in all honesty. 

"That's true," she didn't deny his words. "A devil can't hold his ground before me."

Shui Xian chuckled as he entered the house behind her.

"What's so funny?" 

Shui Xian was startled to hear that voice. He looked up to find Mu Chenyan standing there with her eyes narrowed. Shui Xian took a step back and hid behind Raelle. After all, Mu Chenyan was actually holding a scissor in her hand right now. He wasn't a fool to put himself in front of her to take a shot at. 

And he didn't even for a second think that Mu Chenyan wouldn't hurt him. Because he was certain that woman was very capable of doing that. Better to be safe than sorry, no?

"My wife is funny," said Shui Xian, still standing behind Raelle.

"Do I look like I'm gonna bite you?" questioned Mu Chenyan with her brows quirked up in amusement. Did she have such a bad image? Well, there was no doubt that she had a horrible reputation back in the days but she certainly was known as quite civilized now? Wasn't she?

"No," replied Shui Xian. "I know you won't bite me. But you might stab me."

Mu Chenyan's lips curled up in a crooked smile. She walked closer to him and patted his shoulder. Leaning close to him, she whispered, "You aren't wrong about that, dear son-in-law."

Shui Xian gulped and held Raelle's sleeve. 

Raelle looked at their interaction in silence and only now spoke up, "Yanyan, stop scaring him."

Mu Chenyan gave a doting glance to her dearest Elle and said, "Elle, do you think Master Xian is actually that easily scared? From what I know, you aren't really a scaredy-cat, Mister!"

"But he can't hurt you," said Raelle. "Because you're family. And that part alone is enough to make him scared."

Mu Chenyan paused for a minute before she shook her head and said to Shui Xian, "Lucky bastard!"

Shui Xian stuck out his tongue at her like a kid, "Thank you for the compliment!"

It had to be said that Shui Xian was really looking for a beating by annoying Mu Chenyan. However, he couldn't help it now that his wife stood on his side. He knew Mu Chenyan would never move against him as long as Raelle stood with him. And Raelle was right, he couldn't do anything to Mu Chenyan as well because of Raelle.

He knew he wasn't a match for Mu Chenyan but he also knew, he would be able to do some damage if it got to that point.
