Chapter 716 Go After Her

Chapter 716 Go After Her　　*Ring*

Raelle heard her phone ringtone but she couldn't find her phone around her. She looked up at Shui Xian. Clearly, he was the one in control now. He had taken her phone from her since he didn't want her to use it to even read some work emails. 

And seeing her tablet and laptop... Haha! That was already out of question!

"I can take the phone call, right?" she asked him.

Shui Xian relented and brought her phone to her. It's not like he really wanted to confiscate it. If not for her workaholic habits, he wouldn't be keeping her phone with himself.

Seeing that it was Anna's call, Raelle picked up the call.

"Missy," came Anna's voice from the other side.

"I'm here," replied Raelle.

"How are you now?" asked Anna.

"I'm fine, thank you for asking."

Anna smiled at her reaction and decided to get to the topic, "It's about what you asked me to investigate yesterday."

"How come it took you almost 24 hours to investigate something?" asked Raelle. She genuinely wanted to know the answer to that question. After all, she knew her people and their capabilities. Even if the incident happened years ago, it shouldn't take her team this long to investigate everything.

"I apologize for taking so long," said Anna. "It's just that we were looking for the people involved and had to get a confession from them as well. Gathering the evidence took some time."

Raelle wasn't surprised that they not only investigated everything but gathered all the evidence as well along with catching the people involved. Well, these people would always do things thoroughly.

"So, how did the investigation go?" asked Raelle.

And that's when Anna gave her all the details she asked for her. Clearly, what Tang Hebe knew was only a small part of everything.

After she hung up the call, she found Shui Xian sitting by her side peeling apples. "Hubby, I just had breakfast."

"We should have some fruits in breakfast as well," was his response as he continued to peel the apple like he was doing artwork. He nonchalantly asked, "What was the call about?"

Raelle looked at him in silence and when he didn't hear a reply, he lifted his eyes and met her gaze in confusion. Why was she just staring at him in silence?

"It's about your sister," she told him. Shui Xian paused in his action while she asked, "Do you want me to continue?"

Shui Xian nodded his head, "Let's hear about it."

Raelle then told him, "I know the reason why you kept Ruan Meilin around was that she saved Amiah's life. But what you don't know is that Ruan Meilin was the preparator of the whole incident. She knew your weakness well and she played with it as well. That night Ruan Meilin already knew where Amiah was meeting her friends and all she had to do was bribe one of her friends to drug her. And then she had her own paid thugs prepared for the drama. Originally, the plan was to ruin Amiah completely but Ruan Meilin felt like if she didn't save Amiah on time, she might not get anything out of it." She took a pause and noticed how Shui Xian ended up actually cutting his thumb with the fruit knife in his hand. He looked really angry at the moment. "She just wanted to use Amiah to get to you and she succeeded in doing so. She believed that once Tang Hebe was out of the picture, you'll eventually accept her since she was just another copy of Tang Hebe."

Saying that she held Shui Xian's bleeding thumb and put it into her mouth. 

Feeling the warmth of her lips wrapped around his thumb, his eyes regained their focus and he looked at her. For a moment, he didn't know how to react. He was wondering if she was really his wife. How did she think of putting his bleeding thumb into her mouth? That was so not like her but since he was the sole person to get this privilege, he'd happily take it. 

*Crash*

Both of them looked over towards the door at the same time. Shui Xian was stunned to see Amiah standing at the door. There was a look of disbelief on her face as she felt her mind buzzing. She couldn't believe what she just heard right now. The bouquet of flowers and her phone both fell down from her hands because of how shocked she was right now.

She only came to see her brother and his wife because she didn't want to be a heartless sister. She was already someone with a bad reputation as a sister and as a daughter and she knew that all too well. So, she didn't want to continue being a jerk to her brother at the very least. 

Who knew that when she knocked gently on the door and pushed the door open, she'd end up hearing something like that? She had long been the reason behind her brother's worries but she just realized, she was also a big burden. 

"Amiah," called out Shui Xian.

Amiah wiped her tears and bent down to pick up her phone and the bouquet of flowers. She walked in and placed the bouquet on the table saying, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have come. I'll leave now."

Then she turned around and ran out. Shui Xian was still staring at where she just stood in shock. The arrival of Amiah was completely unexpected to him and that too right at that moment when he wasn't even able to think straight. 

He suddenly looked like a lost puppy as he turned to Raelle with an incredulous look. Raelle patted his shoulder and said, "Why are you standing here? Go after her."

"But..."

"But what? Do you think your sister is to blame for anything in this?" she asked.

Shui Xian shook his head immediately. He didn't think Amiah was at fault for whatever Ruan Meilin did. 

"Then go after her," repeated Raelle.
