Chapter 898: Got My Attention

Chapter 898: Got My AttentionShui Xian had to pick her up and take her back to the bed, he made her lie down saying, "Stay here, I'll be right back."        

She held his hand to stop him, "You know, I can help you."    

Shui Xian poked her forehead and pushed her back down, "Darling, you really have done enough. Don't do anything now. If you did... It won't end well."    

He already knew that she held the upper hand in their relationship. But it didn't stop him from getting shocked every single time at how easy it was to turn him on. He'd become a marionette that she could play with however she wanted. Well, he didn't mind following her lead most of the time but today was definitely not that day.      

He ran to the bathroom while Raelle was left staring at his back.      

"Wouldn't it be easier if I helped?" Raelle wondered out loud and picked up the book she had brought with her. But instead of reading it, she just stared at the title page without doing anything else.    

Suddenly, she found her phone and looked at the message that Xiang Wai sent her. She looked at the contact details of her mother and pondered over it. She didn't call her immediately. She sent a message first, 'Hi, it's Raelle. Whenever you're free, call me on this number.'    

That was all. She said nothing unnecessary and she didn't explain anything either. She already understood Song Xin'ai so she was sure this was the right move. Calling her right now won't be fruitful anyway so she'd rather send a message to gives a heads up.    

Also, the words in the message didn't express the purpose, she was certain that Song Xin'ai would call back whenever she could.      

When Shui Xian came out, he had changed his clothes already. "What do you want to have for dinner?" he asked her.    

Raelle looked up at him and questioned, "Hubby, what exactly does it mean that you came out of a book? Is it referring to your looks?"    

"Why? You want to do research on that now?" asked Shui Xian.    

"I have time," she told him. "I might do it."    

Shui Xian walked over to her side and leaned down. He tipped up her chin as his face came closer to her and he looked earnest as he said, "Woman, you've caught my attention!"    

Raelle tilted her head to a side and blinked at him blankly while he tried to maintain his expression but couldn't. Sighing, he said, "You'll get to read this dialogue a lot. Are you still interested in that research?"    

"Let's find something else to do," said Raelle.    

Shui Xian laughed out loud and wasn't even surprised by her mood change. As much as he knew about his dear wife, she definitely won't be interested in that kind of story. Just because she wanted to find out why those nurses gave her husband such a comment, she wanted to read more romance books as if she forgot her last experience with this genre.    

"We'll be going home this weekend," he told her.    

"That means I'm fine now."    

"No, it means, I don't want you to stay at the hospital anymore. We'll just let you rest at home," he added.    

But she actually didn't care about that. Going home was a lot more important at the moment.    

...    

"Stop looking at your watch," said Xiang Weimin. "If you have somewhere to go, just leave!"    

Xiang Wai looked at her brother sheepishly, "I came with you, how can I just leave?"    

"Am I a kid? Why do I need you to keep me company? Are you my babysitter? Or a nanny? Just go away if you want to."    

"I was being a considerate sister here," she argued.        

"And since when did you take the role of a considerate sister?" he asked.    

"Ge, you don't have to hurt me like this," she said with a pout. "And that too, in front of a kid."    

"Even Justin can see you're impatient to leave," said Xiang Weimin and looked at Justin. "Right?"    

Justin lifted his head and nodded vigorously to show his agreement.    

Xiang Wai didn't know how she should react. Even a kid could expose her now. But who asked her to show her emotions? She was really impatient. She had only been chatting with Zhai Yanjun on the phone since they decided to give each other a chance. Today was a rare chance for her to go on their first date.      

She thought she'd be able to get there on time after accompanying her brother to the hospital but who knew it'd take so much time? She was worried that Zhai Yanjun must be waiting. A part of her wanted to make him wait and see if he had the patient and the other part was feeling bad for making him wait for her.      

Seeing her twisted expressions, Xiang Weimin rolled his eyes, "Wai, leave already!"    

"Yes, Comrade!"    

She stood up and even saluted him before running off. She ended up seeing how Gou Jinjin was suppressing her laughter while she tried to concentrate on the documents in front of her.      

"Bye, Cousin Wai!" said Gou Jinjin and finally looked up. "I'm looking forward to seeing you again!"    

"Why?" asked Xiang Wai bluntly in confusion.      

"Because you look just like my kind of a person," replied Gou Jinjin.    

Xiang Wai frowned at her and looked vigilantly at her.    

Gou Jinjin took in her reaction and sighed, "Just distrustful are you of people?"    

"No one is interested in others without a reason," said Xiang Wai.    

"But we are cousins," said Gou Jinjin. "Having lived in the same country for years, it's our first time meeting. Don't you feel like we should get to know each other more?"    

"The people I least trust in my life are the ones who call themselves 'my cousin'."    

Gou Jinjin didn't seem surprised by her reaction and shrugged, "Have fun on your date."    

"How do you know where I am going?"    

"It's written on your face!"    

Xiang Wai covered her face and ran out.
