Chapter 173: Together Forever

Clearly, our Master Xian did his research well before bringing his cherished wife to this cafe. There were three words that could perfectly sum up the cafe's ambiance; cozy, cute, and romantic! That's all!

The color scheme chosen for such a romantic place had to be red and white. You'd even find a bright red rose at the center of each table. The cafe was really in a league of its own as it only served couples. Soft music was playing in the background and several couples could be found in the cafe at this time.

Shui Xian pulled out the chair for her like a true gentleman and only moved to his own chair after she settled down. It was also his first time coming to such a place. It wasn't because he was a non-romantic, it was simply because when he first got married, these kinds of places weren't around. Although the difference was only five years, the development in the country exceeds one's expectations.

"We'll have this," Shui Xian pointed at the menu in his hand. "The Rose Couple Set."

The waitress was slightly dazed by his face and it took her a while to process what he just said. Then she blushed as she looked at Raelle sitting opposite him and turned to leave.

"Hubby, are you throwing love spells on every stranger?"

Shui Xian placed his hand over hers that she hand placed on the tabletop and said, "If I really have that ability then I think I'd love to throw this love spell on my wife."

"Oh and why is that?" she wondered out loud. "Like Opa and Yanyan, you also want to evoke emotions in me?"

He shook his head honestly, "No, I just want to ensnare my wife in my love and have her only look at me."

"With the speed, you're taking over Hyson's place, I don't think I'll have time to look at anyone else." Shui Xian's brow raised up slightly as she went on, "As Hyson said, before you, I really thought he was a beauty. But now, you've taken over that place. I often call Hyson a sticky chewing gum. But lately, with the way you're sticking to me, you're definitely rivaling Hyson's stickiness. It won't be long before you take the position of being the sticky chewing gum in my life."

Shui Xian's lips curled up at her words. He found it amusing and slightly touching as well. He had already observed her relationship with Hyson and he could claim that without even realizing it herself, she actually puts a whole lot of importance on Hyson.

"Other than being the 'beauty' and the 'sticky chewing gum', do I have any other titles?" He even air-quoted to emphasize 'beauty' and 'sticky chewing gum.'

"Aren't you, my dear husband?"

Shui Xian cursed under his breath as he said, "You always make me shut up with the fact that I'm your husband. I don't need that reminder. I also know I'm your husband." While he was talking, suddenly his expressions changed dramatically, "Did you just call me dear husband?"

"I did," Raelle replied sincerely.

Shui Xian was left gaping at her in disbelief, "That's a first. I always heard you saying that I'm your husband but it's the first time, I've become the dear husband." He scratched the back of his neck foolishly, "It sounds good. I wonder when it'll turn into dearest husband."

"Let's not be greedy, Hubby," said Raelle as she continued to observe the changes in his expression which seemed to make her unable to look away. Oh, wait! Her husband's beauty alone was enough to make her eyes unable to wander around.

Shui Xian firmly nodded in agreement, "Right! We should take one step at a time. Greed is a curse!"

Soon, their order was served and Shui Xian couldn't help giving it a second glance. The cute little macarons were in the shape of the heart. The slice of cake had a buttercream rose on top and on the edge of the plate was written with chocolate, 'Together Forever.' Even the coffee came in cute cups with hearts on top.

Shui Xian looked up to see her reaction and saw Raelle starting at the things they ordered intently before her lips parted, "This looks... interesting."

Shui Xian heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that. He didn't know why he was anxious but it probably was because he wanted to please her. Once upon a time, he used to be confident in what he did for love, and now, before his own wife, he was like a teenager who was going through the awakening of his first love.

It was complicated but the feelings were equally intoxicating and fascinating.

Since Raelle usually didn't talk while eating, he was also silently gazing at her as he took a bite of the cake and found it to his liking. He had to say that the cafe deserved the praise it got on the internet, they not made a beautiful ambiance for couples, even their specialties were one of a kind.

"Wifey, do you like it?" Raelle lifted her eyes to hold his gaze. Seeing how she looked at him, he seemed to understand what she wanted to say as he shook his head, "You're right. That was a wrong question." He smiled at her sheepishly, "But I don't know what else to talk about."

"Why is my husband looking for topics to talk with me?" retorted Raelle, startling him a bit. "You're my husband, you definitely shouldn't need a reason to talk to your own wife. You can say whatever you want, don't think so deeply."

"So, do you want to hear me explain how you're challenging my feelings every single day?"

"I did that?" she asked.

He nodded his head, "Yes, you did. And the worst part is that you don't even understand what you're doing to me."

"Why don't you make me understand then?" Raelle blinked at him.
