Chapter 547 - Gladly

"We look like those campus couples going on a date," remarked Shui Xian as he looked at his reflection in the mirror, standing beside Raelle. There was no doubt that they both looked young and sunny! But then again, his wife was always looking young. Especially when she didn't wear any makeup. He was the real old one in the relationship.

Raelle was gazing at his face through the mirror with interest. She took in all the changes that appeared on his face within seconds. As she had told him once, he was the most expressive person she had ever met in her life. His feelings were so vivid on his face that sometimes she thought his eyes were having a conversation with her.

It was a strange thought but that's exactly how she thought.

She lifted her hand without moving her body and caressed his face before making him put his chin on her shoulder. As their eyes met through their reflection, she asked, "Exactly, what is running through that mind of yours?"

"I'm just thinking we'd have been a star couple if we were together in college," he stated honestly.

"But by the time you entered college, I was already halfway in the corporate world," she replied matter-of-factly.

"Ouch!" was Shui Xian's response. "Thanks for reminding me, how dumb I am."

"I won't call you dumb," she said. "It's just that I'm a genius."

Shui Xian chuckled at her words, "Oh?" He raised his hand and pinched her cheek, "Indeed, my wife is a genius." Shui Xian found her so cute when she so straightforwardly called herself a genius. It wasn't a lie and neither was she bragging. It was just a FACT! A fact most people already knew about Raelle Xiang. 

Because whenever her name would be mentioned, her genius status would definitely be mentioned.

"But the real winner is still you, Mr. Husband," she said to him.

"I am?" asked Shui Xian as he raised his brow at her.

"Of course," she replied. "Didn't you get to marry the genius? That makes you the real winner."

Shui Xian gave her a peal of hearty laughter and said, "I'm suddenly reminded of a song."

"What song?"

Shui Xian cleared his throat and hummed casually, "Oh, my God

Baby, baby, don't you see?

I got everything you need

O-only a genius could love a woman like she~~" [Song: LSD-Genius ft. Sia, Diplo, Labrinth.]

"Don't know the song," she told him.

"I wasn't expecting you to know it," he retorted. He nuzzled into her neck and breathed out, "I don't feel like going out."

"And what do you feel like doing?" she asked.

Shui Xian dropped soft and gentle kisses on her neck as he pointed towards their bed, "I just to spend my day on the bed."

"Sleeping?" she asked.

Shui Xian looked up to lock his eyes with hers through the mirror and could almost imagine mirth flashing in her eyes. "Only sleeping is not enough. I have better ideas."

"Oh?" Raelle turned around to face him and placed her hands around his neck, "Why don't you elaborate your better ideas?"

"Elaborate?" questioned Shui Xian dangerously. "Why don't I just give you a demo? It's free!"

"Who said I like free things?" she asked him.

"But you like me," he grinned at her shamelessly. He held her waist with both his hands and pushed her against the wall as his lips came inches away from hers. "Baby, your lips are inviting me to come and take a bite."

"Why don't just accept the invitation then?" she suggested.

Shui Xian smirked before saying in a deep but low voice, "Gladly!"

And just like that, he smacked his lips against her. True to his words, he definitely took a bite of her red lips making them look even more enticing. Originally, he was just teasing her but now he really didn't want to leave. In fact, he thought spending the whole day on their bed was the best kind of vacation. How would it not be? He would rather worship her body and caress her body with his kisses. Ah! Just the thought of it was making his blood rush up!

However, he wanted to go out with her as well. He wanted to take her around, show her things and experience different things together. With great willpower, he pulled himself away from her, and with his forehead against hers, he said, "Let's stop here. Or we'll really be going nowhere." He was certain of that. They'd really be going nowhere if he didn't pull himself away from her.

"Well, we can always go tomorrow," was her response making him curse under his breath.

"Darling, I don't have that much self-control. Don't even think about trying to tease me right now."

"I didn't start it," she pointed out for him. But that didn't mean she wasn't interested in teasing him. In fact, lately that was her favorite thing to do. Test his self-control. Not so surprisingly, she didn't even notice it herself. Yet!

Shui Xian raked his fingers through his hair that he hadn't gelled today and sighed, "Indeed, I was the one looking for trouble for myself." He took deep breaths to calm himself down and held her hand saying, "Let's go now. If I stayed any longer in this room, I'll really lose it." He wasn't just saying it. He meant it. 

As they came downstairs, they found Mu Chenyan and Shui Koshing having a heated discussion in front of the wall that connected the Shui Manor to Xiang Villa. 

"Take care of yourself out there!" called out Shui Koshing to them when he noticed them.

"Have fun!" Mu Chenyan waved at them with a smile which was actually quite sincere. She wasn't shooting daggers at Shui Xian and he was more than happy with that.

As soon as their car disappeared from the driveway, both Shui Koshing and Mu Chenyan's heated discussion continued.. They both just could not come to settle on common grounds.
