COLD CEO AND ARROGANT WIFE, VOLUME 4 - Season 7 Episode 44

Although Xiang Hulin wanted to spend more time with Raelle, he didn’t push his luck at all. He understood something very clearly about Raelle after hearing the opinion of both Xiang Weimin and Xiang Wai. She didn’t like people pushing her.

It happened with Xiang Weimin. He desperately wanted to just rush into her life and Raelle would never allow it. That’s why she came on too strongly towards him. But her attitude was completely different when she met Xiang Wai. Only because Xiang Wai was merely curious about her. She didn’t show whether she wanted to be a part of Raelle’s life or not.

He didn’t know how right he was but he was certain he couldn’t push his luck with Raelle. Knowing his sister, Mu Chenyan, it was obvious that the girl she raised couldn’t be too easy to deal with. And he was actually finding it funny how Mu Chenyan was worried about him just because he was sitting alone with Raelle.

But after seeing the spectacle from earlier, he couldn’t really blame Mu Chenyan either. There was something she said that was still ringing in his mind, ‘She is too logical and rational. She appears to be detached from everything but she actually wasn’t.’

He agreed with this view of her. Although it seemed Raelle was too detached, it wasn’t exactly the case. If it was, she wouldn’t have told Song Xin’ai that she believed her to be a good person but not a good mother. Whether she made a right choice or a wrong one, she had already made one.

While giving Raelle’s phone back, he couldn’t help commenting, “Chenchen’s habit of drinking is still as bad as ever.”

“It isn’t,” said Raelle. “Just so you know, she has never drank in front of me. She is a very responsible person, it’s only after marriage that she is getting back to living her life. Although it might take her a while to find the right way to live again, it’s a fact that it’s about time she should start living her life for herself instead of me.”

Xiang Hulin went quiet when he heard that. How could he respond to that? It wasn’t like he couldn’t tell what Mu Chenyan gave up. He owes her too much. Even if he had another life, he might not be able to pay back whatever he owed her. She not only raised his daughter with love, care, and attention, but she also took care of his father.

Yes, if he mentioned it to Mu Chenyan, she’d say that she did nothing for him. To her, his father was just as much her father. It was a different fact that she just didn’t call him father. But whenever she needed a father, she’d always be looking for her Elder Xiang.

“I’ll come to see father,” said Xiang Hulin before leaving the waiting room.

“Okay,” was the only answer Raelle gave him.

She unlocked her phone and looked through her contacts. Realizing how few contacts she had, she stood up and decided to look for Cloe. The contact number she needed wasn’t on her phone but Cloe would have everyone’s contact details.

While she was leaving the room with her eyes on her phone, someone stood in her way. She turned right so as not to bump into the other person but that person also stepped right. Raelle stepped left and that person followed suit. Raelle locked her phone and lifted her eyes to look at who was trying to act like a tyrant and step in her way.

Seeing that face before her, Raelle just had to say, “Don’t like being a human? Why are you acting like a roadblock?”

Ruan Meilin glared at her hatefully, “Who are you calling a roadblock?”

“Whoever is acting like one,” replied Raelle matter-of-factly.

“You!” Ruan Meilin was already seething with anger but she stopped herself in time. Putting on a beautiful smile, she said, “Forget it, I won’t argue with someone like you.”

“Do you even deserve to talk to me?” asked Raelle. She would usually avoid unnecessary talking but today, she just thought she had something to say to this woman. This clown was not even funny and yet liked to parade in front of her in such a pompous way.

Ruan Meilin sneered, “Who do you think you are? A queen? Why can’t I stand here and talk to you? Do you think you’re better than me?”

Raelle found her antics too boring. Yes, this was definitely boring! She finally understood what boring was! What a realization!

“I can be the queen, but do you think you even deserve to be even the maid? With your lack of awareness, you wouldn’t even have survived for 5 minutes in a palace drama.”

Ruan Meilin clenched her fists tightly and gritted her teeth.

“Oh, and I am better than you,” added Raelle. “If nothing else, I am Shui Xian’s wife. Miss Ruan, who are you?”

Raelle’s attack was almost like Tang Hebe. They both reminded her how they both at least had a legitimate place in Shui Xian’s life but who was she? What was she exactly? Nothing! Nothing at all! She was merely an employee!

“I’m President Raelle even without Shui Xian,” Raelle continued. “I’ll still stand at the top alone. But what about you, Miss Ruan? What are you without your status as an employee of Shui Xian? You’re not even an heiress. Do you think you can stand beside my husband without that title of a VP?”

Just because Raelle didn’t like arguments didn’t mean she was a pushover and she had to make that clear to this woman who didn’t take the hint the first time. From the moment they first talked on the phone when her phone got exchanged with Shui Xian’s, she had made her status clear and yet, this woman was still in her own world. Did she think Raelle couldn’t do anything to her? Is that why she was still trying to worm her way between her and her husband?

Because if that was the case, then she was really wrong.
