Chapter 1209 Self-Reliant

Chapter 1209  Self-Reliant

After a while when Raelle and Shui Xian appeared outside, Cloe gave them a resentful look. Seeing how they freshly took a bath and had even changed their clothes, she didn't even have to think to know what had conspired inside the room in the past hour.

But she was suddenly wondering when did Shui Xian's clothes come to Raelle's office and why she didn't know about it? It seemed that her Chief was really prepared for every situation all the time.

"You're still here?" asked Raelle.

Cloe took a deep breath and extended the file in her hand towards her, "I need your signature on this urgently."

"Oh," responded Raelle as she took the file and skimmed through the documents before signing them and giving it back to Cloe. Then, she had the audacity to say, "Don't work so late."

"You think I want to?" asked Cloe with a smile but it could be seen that she wasn't in the mood to smile. That smile was more like an angry one. "Chief!"

"Hm?"

"Beauty brings catastrophe," commented Cloe. "You shouldn't forget that."

Raelle shrugged in response and left with Shui Xian. Cloe was left there standing, looking at them. Then she looked down at the file in her hands and sighed at her fate.

"Where to?" asked Shui Xian as they got in the car. Raelle gave him the phone where Mu Chenyan had already sent the location. He looked at it and raised his brows, "It's a private kitchen. I know where it is."

"Husband..."

"Hm?"

"Why did you really come to pick me up today?"

"Because I wanted to take you somewhere."

"Sorry."

"For what?"

"For ruining your plan," answered Raelle.

Shui Xian stretched his hand to touch her slightly damp hair as he said, "Don't think about it. I'm fine with the change of plan as long as the plan involves you. I don't mind where we are spending our evening. What I care about is that we are together. Besides, I didn't have anything special planned anyway. At most, I thought that I'd ask you and if you agreed then we'll go on a long drive to the beach."

"The beach?"

"Yup."

"We don't have a beach in our city," reminded Raelle.

"But we do have one in the Koral City."

"That's 3 hours away from here."

"Yeah. That's why I said. Long Drive."

"That's literally a long drive."

Shui Xian chuckled at that but didn't comment on that. He knew it was a long drive and a very unreliable plan but he couldn't help it.

"If we go to the beach," started Raelle. "How would we get back here having money."

"If that's the case, then can't we just take the helicopter there?"

for work tomorrow?"

"How is that difficult? Just after sunrise, we can drive back. Or we can just call a helicopter. You don't understand the convenience of having money."

"If that's the case, then can't we just take the helicopter there?"

"No. How will it be a long drive then?"

Raelle shook her head and said, "I think this discussion is quite pointless. Let's not waste time on it."

"So, you're up for it?" he asked expectantly.

"We're going on a dinner," reminded Raelle.

"I am asking for future reference," replied Shui Xian. "Anyway, soon, your office will change the building. And then, we'll be only ten minutes apart from each other. It'd be easier to pick you up. Then you'll have no excuse to keep me from picking you up every day."

"Aren't you a little too excited about that?"

"Very," he responded.

"Why? What's the fun in picking me up?"

"Why isn't it fun? I never had the experience of taking my wife to and from work. I think it'd be interesting."

"Don't you want some personal time?"

Shui Xian's smile dropped, "You do? You don't want me to come to you?"

Raelle actually thought that she was a scumbag when she saw Shui Xian's depressed expression. It really looked like she bullied him or something. Even though this evening, it wasn't her on the top but he was!

Ahem!

She meant that she didn't bully him at all. Nope! She refused to take the blame.

"There is still time before we move," said Raelle.

"Don't change the topic."

"Fine. Let's take a step back. You can come to pick me up only two times a week."

"Four!" he negotiated.

"Two!" she repeated.

"Three?" he lowered his demand.

"Two!"

"We don't have any room for negotiation?"

"Nope."

"Fine. Two it is. I'll take it."

"You do realize that this was another useless argument right?" asked Raelle.

"Wife, what kind of arguments do you want? What kind of arguments even happen in married life? We don't leave room for misunderstanding since I'm a very talkative and a very honest husband who never hides anything from his lovely wife. You don't have your temper just because I left my clothes scattered around the room."

"You don't do that," said Raelle.

"Exactly, my point. Why would we argue then? Ah! Our argument can only be about, you don't give me enough time. How pitiful I am!"

"Don't use this argument to put forward your inner feelings. I give you enough time."

Shui Xian rubbed her head, "Then what's there to argue about?"

"Don't married couples argue because of kids too?"

"We don't have any yet. When we have one in the future, we'll see about that."

"Let's have two," she suddenly said.

"What? No!"

"Why not?"

"I think one is good enough," he argued.

"One will have it tough," said Raelle.

"How?"

"He'll have to take over yours and my business. Too much pressure on one kid. Don't you think it'll be bad? So, we should make it easy and have two so that each can take enough inheritance."

Shui Xian's lips twitched when he heard this argument and literally was speechless. He gave her a look and shook his head saying, "Baby, it's very easy to solve this."

"How?"

"We'll just donate all our money. We worked hard for it. How can our kid be useless enough to depend on us? He should also be self-reliant."

"That sounds reasonable," said Raelle. "Let's do that."

Shui Xian smiled in satisfaction after ruining his future kid's chances of being a rich and worry-free second-generation.
