Master’s Untamed Wife - Chapter 37
It had been a long while since someone actually told Shui Xian that he was warm. Because he actually didn’t think he was a warm person. He had been keeping such a cold aura around him that it scared people away. Yet, this girl was telling him, he felt warm.
While Shui Xian was busy staring into her black gems like eyes, Raelle raised her arms and wrapped them around his frame catching him off-guard. Now, her whole body was very close to his own.
“See? I was right,” she said calmly. “You are warm.”
They say hugs are very powerful. When she hugged him, he actually thought it was right. He didn’t even know he needed this hug. And he didn’t even know for how long he had been yearning for this one hug. He just knew that this hug brought warmth to his chilled heart.
“Wife…” he called out in a small voice. “Who are you?”
“Huh?” Raelle pulled away and stared into his eyed. “What do you mean who I am? Did you forget your wife so soon? We just got married!”
He shook his head and asked, “I mean, what are you?”
“People say I’m a robot but this beating heart of mine is proof that I’m a human,” she replied.
Shui Xian continued to look at her face as he said, “A human? Your Yanyan said you’re very special. I might have to agree with her.” Raelle didn’t know what he was talking about but she listened intently with no fluctuation in her expressions. “Because you seem to know what I need to hear the most.” He placed his hand on her head as he added, “I don’t know if you do it intentionally or unintentionally, but you have said something I really needed to hear.”

From his very first encounter with her to now, she had always said something he needed to hear. It mostly hurt his feelings but what she said had all been true till now. Either her words were like a wake-up call or a reminder that not every decision he made in life was right. Perhaps, that’s why when she said he was warm, he was willing to believe it so easily.
He held her hand and asked, “What would you like to see first? Our home? Or our room?”
He was asking her to make a choice but he was definitely asking the wrong person to make a choice. Raelle scratched the tip of her nose and said, “Our room is in our home, right?”
“Obviously,” he replied.
“Then let’s just take a tour of this home. Eventually, we’ll get to the room as well.” She knew if she didn’t look around this house now, she might not be able to do it later on. After all, it’s been six months since she moved here, and yet she hadn’t seen the whole of her own villa. From her bedroom to the dining table and living room, that’s the only route she knew.
Shui Xian considerately took her around to give her a proper home tour. Along the way, Raelle found some famous artworks hanging on the walls along with sculptures that laid around. The villa was spacious, luxurious, and a little cold. Because it was too big for just two people, it had a cold feeling to it.
“I’ve been meaning to ask this, doesn’t your father live here with you?”
“He does,” replied Shui Xian. “Why?”
“Then where is he?” she inquired since she thought that everyone left the restaurant around the same time. If they were already here, how come his father wasn’t here yet?
Shui Xian took a moment before replying, “He said since it’s our wedding night, he’d like to give us some space. He’d be spending the night at the hotel.”

“He didn’t have to do that just because it’s our wedding night,” she retorted. “People might think I kicked my father-in-law out as soon as I got the entry to this house. And such daughters-in-law are labeled as vicious!”
Shui Xian made a fist and held it before his mouth as he faked a cough hearing her remark. He couldn’t help it. She really had it all running through that brain of hers. It was really unpredictable. But it was amusing at the same time.
“Wife, you do know what wedding night means, right?”
Raelle looked at her carefully, “Hubby, I think you really have some kind of misconception about your wife. I’m Raelle Xiang. I’ve been called a genius all my life. Do you really think I don’t know what wedding night means?”
Shui Xian shrugged his shoulders saying, “With how you’ve been defining things, I won’t even be surprised if you said that the wedding night is all about us sleeping next to each other on the bed.”
“What else? Do you expect me to sleep on a couch?” she retorted making his eyes widen. “Even if one of us have to take the couch that’d be you. I’m not giving up the bed!”
Shui Xian blinked at her, “Wife, do you really think that’s all there is to the wedding night?”
“Of course not,” she replied. “Wedding night means to consummate the marriage. Something about completing a relationship. However, if you ask me, we have already completed our legal work, isn’t that enough proof of a relationship?”
He shook his head, “No, people call that paper marriage between two people who wants to gain something from the other through marriage. It’s nothing more than a deal between two people. Do you think we are in a deal?”
Raelle’s eyes slightly narrowed, “Deal? As much as I value monetary gains, I would not like to bring such a thing into my marriage. Yanyan said it’s a lifetime thing. You can’t just walk away after exploiting someone.”
Shui Xian’s heart clenched at her words. See? She loved poking him right where it hurt like hell! She did it again without knowing it. Wasn’t he the one who had to walk away, all broken and tired when that other person was done exploiting him? He was the one who lost everything and he was the one who had to walk away as well.
Raelle wasn’t done yet though as she continued, “Yanyan said people take a vow when marrying… ‘Till death do us apart.’ She said one who can’t keep his words isn’t worth anything. A person who doesn’t even value his own words, that person values nothing.”
