Chapter 557 - A Kid

Shui Xian finally ordered the food for the both of them and propped his elbows on the table while cupping his face to look at his wife. As a big boss, this posture was really unsuitable for his image. But this mister was acting like a college guy who was on a date with his girlfriend. Why would he care about his image right now?

Raelle's eyes were set on the golf field that could be seen from the restaurant's glass windows. 

"Baby, how about you pay more attention to me?" 

Raelle glanced at him and said, "When have I not given you attention?"

"Right now," he pointed out. "You're more interested in things outside the window."

Raelle straightened up and copied his way of sitting. She also cupped her face and looked at him, "Is this okay with you?"

Shui Xian grinned at her, "Perfect!"

"I heard a large part of this area is unclaimed?" asked Raelle. "Seeing how popular this resort is, how come no one else is taking advantage of this area and developing it?"

Shui Xian sighed when he realized how he couldn't just avoid this business discussion around her. "That's because this area is like a hot potato. No one wants to mess with the people behind this resort." He took a brief pause and explained the situation to her in detail. And just like that their conversation flowed but circled around the financial world. "Don't tell me you want to do something here?"

Raelle shook her head, "I've never been into real estate."

Shui Xian nodded his head, "That's true. But the question is why? Real estate is a hot issue in today's age. No, it had been for a few decades now. How come you don't take it up?"

"Don't feel the need to do so," she answered.

Shui Xian lowered his voice and asked, "Wifey, I heard from my grandfather once that the Xiang family's roots are so deep that they were once rewarded with their own fief. They had acres of agricultural land gifted to them as well. Is it true?"

"That's what the history says," she said. "Opa said most of the lands were given to the military to build their bases. But the agricultural land was kept back then. Now, the lands are contracted out. But I don't know the details since that part of the property was given to my father and my siblings." She stopped for a moment to think before adding, "The only place Opa kept was the ancestral house. I have never been there but Yanyan says just a random vase in that place is enough to shock people."

"I don't doubt it," said Shui Xian. "There must be plenty of artifacts lying around in the Xiang family's ancestral home." As for why he didn't doubt it, it had something to do with a couple of gifts that his grandfather had in his study given by Grandfather Xiang. Estimating the mere value of those things was not easy at all.

"Why are you suddenly curious about my family's history?" asked Raelle.

Shui Xian was about to answer when the food was served so he stayed silent. When everything was laid before them and the servers left, only then he said, "Just curious. No reason. It just came to my mind out of nowhere."

After that, he didn't speak. He knew Raelle won't talk while eating so he silently ate his own meal. 

On the other side, no matter what Xiang Wai couldn't stop herself from looking towards Raelle from time to time. Huang Shuyi was hesitant but he still chose to ask for confirmation, "President Raelle is your sister?"

"Do we look like sisters?" she asked in return to him.

Huang Shuyi honestly shook his head, "You don't. I don't see a thing similar in you two."

Xiang Wai sighed, "And yet, it's ironic how she is actually my sister."

Although he had already mentally confirmed it, he still found it shocking when he heard it coming from Xiang Wai. 

"Wow!" He didn't know what else he could say or how else to react. Was there a right way to react to such a thing? He did not think so!

She squinted her eyes at him and questioned, "But, how do you know her?"

"Who doesn't know President Raelle? She is still trending on the internet!"

Xiang Wai had seen that already. In fact, she had followed that news quite closely. She was always scrolling through trending topics, how could this one escape her eyes when it blew out of proportion already?

It's been days and people were still crazy about the discussion of Raelle Xiang dating Shui Xian. She felt quite smug knowing that they weren't dating. They were MARRIED!

Of course, if someone checked Xiang Wai's accounts then they'd know that she had liked each and every photo of Raelle on the internet these days. And she even liked the comments that praised her sister. She was subconsciously just becoming a sis-con. And she didn't even realize it.

"Little Fai is her best friend," told Huang Shuyi. "I was shocked when I first met her and got to know that someone so close to me was actually acquainted with President Raelle."

Xiang Wai's interest was piqued when she heard that. "Her best friend?" she repeated. She had heard about that person from her brother as well. And let's just say, her brother only knew how to shower that guy with compliments. "What kind of a person is he?"

"Fai?" Xiang Wai nodded her head and Huang Shuyi frowned, "Well, he is a... Kid."

"Huh?"

Huang Shuyi nodded his head to confirm that she heard it right. "He is indeed like a kid. Quite innocent if you ask me but at the same time, not that innocent either. However, he is a fun person. And a very warm person as well.. Fai doesn't even have to try to impress people because him just being there is enough to charm people."
