COLD CEO AND ARROGANT WIFE, VOLUME 3 - Season 6 Episode 8

Shui Xian felt like she just shot her heart with an arrow.

‘His Queen.’

That definitely sounded too good. Even he could tell that he was smiling foolishly and there was no way to deny now that he was truly a wife slave. She schemed to get him here and in return, he fell deeper for the schemer!

“Are you after my heart?” he asked.

“Isn’t it already mine?” she retorted.

Shui Xian threw his head back and laughed heartily. He placed his hands on her face and said, “Gosh, I love you so much!”

On the side, Cloe felt like she was not supposed to be there. She was actually cursing herself for even being here right now! It was pure torture for her to stand there and listen to this couple. But she couldn’t help smiling as well when she listened to their conversation. She never knew flirting could be done in such a way. Maybe she was out of date now.

Clasping Raelle’s hand, Shui Xian entered the banquet hall. As soon as they entered together, there was a small commotion inside. Not everyone out of the business circle was familiar with Raelle but Shui Xian was a familiar face to even celebrities. Since his companies indirectly or directly did get involved in the entertainment circle. And now he even directly entered the circle by buying an entertainment company.

All the more reason for this attention was the woman beside him. Those who knew Raelle was gaping at the scene of Shui Xian and Raelle Xiang holding hands and those who didn’t know her, only took Raelle as Shui Xian’s female partner. And even those young actresses were trying to figure out which company Raelle belonged to. Because they all unanimously believed that Raelle was a celebrity but since they didn’t know her, she must be a small-time star.

While walking he looked at Cloe and said, “Oh, hey, Cloe! Didn’t see you there!”

Cloe wanted to roll her eyes at him but considering his identity she held herself back from doing so. “Hello, Master Xian! It’s not your fault that you can’t see me.”

“Right?” said Shui Xian. “With such a beautiful wife by my side, the world loses its appeal. It’s like, I stand in the crowd of people but my eyes found their way to you.” He wasn’t lying though. Even on the red carpet, he was surrounded by so many people. But his eyes were just looking for her and once they locked on her figure, he couldn’t look away.

“How poetic,” commented Cloe. “But I couldn’t possibly agree more with that.” Saying that she glanced at Raelle and said, “I’ve been around her for years and yet, I am still not able to look away when she is around.”

Shui Xian looked at her and looked back at Raelle before chuckling, “Why do both look like the angel of light and angel of darkness?”

“Bingo!” Cloe was excited to hear that. “Earlier I told Chief we look like two angels. But she said we look like chess pieces! Can you believe that?!”

“Pfft!” Shui Xian couldn’t help it. He gazed at Raelle and said, “That’s something only my wife would say.”

“Was I wrong?” questioned Raelle.

“You’re never wrong,” replied Shui Xian. “But I still am inclined to believe that you look like an angel of darkness.” He leaned his head close to her and added, “The irony is, I have never seen someone more full of life than you.”

“Belgh!” Cloe reacted on the side as if she was about to vomit. “I never knew you’re so cheesy, Master Xian.” Shaking her head, she found the table which had their names, “Please have a seat, Master Xian. I specifically made the arrangement to have you sit beside your wife. Like it?”

Shui Xian gave her an impressed look, “I like the way you work. I wish Ma Jin had such observation skills as well. Tsk. I’ll have to do something about it.”

On the other side of the hall, Ma Jin was happily discussing with a few big shots when he felt cold behind his back. He didn’t know why he felt that trouble was brewing for him. Such a strange thought.

“Chief, you sit here. I’m gonna say hello to the organizers,” said Cloe before disappearing from her side. Of course, she would have to do the job of socializing. She wouldn’t let Raelle do this job. Her Chief’s job tonight was to look beautiful! It was never her job to exchange pleasantries with people.

“Xian,” called out Raelle. “Why are you looking at me?”

“It’s all your fault,” he said.

“My fault?” she questioned.

Shui Xian nodded his head, “I can’t see the world beside you. Who told you to be so beautiful?”

“You see me every day,” she pointed out.

Shui Xian’s finger rubbed that bracelet she wore and he smiled at her, “Who said the you who I saw yesterday was the same as the one I see today?” Raelle turned her eyes to him as he continued, “Then how can I get tired of looking?”

Raelle said, “That’s you trying to find excuses for looking.”

Shui Xian didn’t deny but said, “Right. I think I am looking for excuses.”

“But why are you?” she questioned. Shui Xian raised his brow at her and she said, “When did my husband have the need to find excuses to look at me?”

Shui Xian placed a hand over his chest and said, “Baby, if you kept talking like this, my heart is gonna burst tonight.”

“Such fragile heart,” she commented. “It seems like I have to do a better job at protecting it.”

Shui Xian was stunned for a moment before he said, “I so want to kiss you right now.”

“Why don’t you?”

Shui Xian smirked, “Are you challenging me?”

“What if I am?”

Shui Xian’s face came closer to hers as he whispered, “Oh, I love challenges.”
