Chapter 1388 Reassure Him

1388 Reassure Him

After spending a fulfilling and tiring day, Raelle came back to find her husband who was waiting for her in the airport's VVIP lounge. Sitting on the comfortable lounge sofa, Shui Xian seemed to be focused on the tablet screen with a slight frown etched between his brows.

Thinking of something, Raelle slowed down her movements and even stopped the assistant from speaking. She walked behind Shui Xian and covered his eyes.

Shui Xian's vision suddenly darkened and he felt the touch of soft, familiar hands carrying the familiar scent of Raelle's hand lotion. But he still went along with her as he asked, "Who?"

Raelle purposely sweetened her voice as she asked, "Take a guess."

Shui Xian's lips curled up in amusement and his hand covered her delicate ones as he said, "Raelle."

Raelle put down her hands and hugged him from behind saying, "How did you guess?"

"Who else would come here except you?" asked Shui Xian in return. He rubbed her head adding, "It's not like you to be so playful so I was a little surprised. Besides, I know your smell. I can never make a mistake when it comes to you."

Raelle raised her brows at him nuzzled against his cheek saying, "You are showing off."

"I am," he accepted without any hesitation. "Why wouldn't I show off?" His voice lowered and became deeper, giving it a charming and seductive touch. "I have left a mark on every inch of your skin. I don't think there is anyone who can be more familiar with you than me."

Raelle buried her head in his neck and smiled to herself. She did not feel shy about his explicit words. She wasn't the shy person between the two of them from the beginning. She was always open and honest. She'd do whatever she felt right and it didn't matter to her what others had to say about her behavior. Time and place were never her consideration too.

"Come here and sit with me," said Shui Xian.

Raelle moved from the back of the sofa to the front and wanted to sit down but Shui Xian held her wrist and tugged. The pull made her sit on his thighs and she instinctively hugged his neck and looked at his mischievous smile making her not know what to say. Shui Xian's index finger brushed Raelle's nose as he inquired, "Did you have fun?"

As Raelle had no wish or motivation to move right now, she immediately laid her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes. She didn't plan to sleep but just wanted to rest her eyes for a while. Shui Xian looked at her face lovingly and brushed away the hair that fell on her face. His other hand gently caressed her back in a slow but calming motion. Raelle felt peace just lying like this, held in his arms, and even had the illusion that she was about to sleep. Her hand went to his hair and kept playing with his hair with her eyes closed. Seeing that it was time to board, Shui Xian called out to her in a whisper, "Baby, are you awake?"

"Hmm..." she hummed in response and slowly opened her eyes which were filled with sleep now.

Shui Xian's heart melted just seeing her lying this. It made her seem like a soft kitten rather than a wild and fierce cat that she usually was. It tickled his heart and made him want to ravage her right there and then but he had to control his urges as it wasn't the time and place for this.

"Can you walk? Or should I carry you?" he asked in a soft voice as if he was talking to a little kid, afraid of startling him.

Raelle rubbed her eyes and looked around before saying, "I'll walk."

"Okay," Shui Xian sounded rather disappointed but he still went along with her wishes.

Both of them boarded the private jet one after the other and waited to take off. "Do you want to wash up?" inquired Shui Xian. "You can go clean up and change if you want to."

Raelle looked down at her clothes and decided to do so. Shui Xian gave some instructions to the staff before he sat down to wait for Raelle. When Raelle came out Shui Xian offered her a cup with unknown stuff inside. Raelle raised her brows at him.

"Drink this. It's a cold medicine brew. You played in the rain today. It's better to take precautions."

"I drank the ginger tea," she told him.

"That's good but double security is better than the single one, don't you agree?"

Raelle sat down and took the cup from his hand. He was thinking about her and she did not want to let him down either. It was just the cold medicine, since he made the effort to ask someone to bring it on their flight, she could at least drink it for his sake. It was just to reassure him anyway.
