COLD CEO AND ARROGANT WIFE, VOLUME 4 - Season 8 Episode 46

To be very honest, this was a crisis moment for Raelle. Her IQ had always been something people talked about with envy. How could she accept that now because of a certain emotion called love, her IQ was taking a plunge as the stocks did in the downtrend period?

The mental graph of her IQ wasn’t looking optimistic with that red line of her IQ taking a sharp turn down!

It’s more worrisome than the market crash!

And at the end of the day, she was still the same person who wasn’t able to understand love all that much. But even without her understanding, this emotion was already attacking her IQ.

Shui Xian pinched her chin, “What are you thinking about now?”

“Do you think my IQ is declining?” she asked.

Shui Xian was certainly not expecting to hear such a question from her but he still honestly replied, “How is that possible? I’m the one with the low IQ here.”

“Yes, your IQ is more questionable than mine,” was what she said with a straight face leaving no face for her dearly beloved husband.

Shui Xian’s lips twitched when he heard that and rubbed his nose before saying, “Is it okay for you to be so disdainful towards your husband’s IQ?”

“Who said I disdain your IQ?” she questioned. “But that doesn’t mean, I won’t speak the truth to you. A relationship is always built on honesty. And one first has to be honest with oneself. I can’t possibly deceive myself now.” Patting his head softly, she added, “Don’t worry. I definitely have no problem with your IQ. After all, I’m all for that face of yours.”

Shui Xian was finding it difficult to explain his feelings right now.

Forget it! As long as she was happy and satisfied with him, who cared about his IQ? Or the fact that she was in this relationship for his face. Even though he knew that wasn’t all of it. But he didn’t mind just taking her words for it anyway.

Raelle felt quite satisfied with herself knowing she managed to distract him from whatever was running through his mind. He was an overthinker and there was no helping it. As long as she managed to help him come out of his own mind, that was fine. After all, a person’s mind was like a vortex. It really had the ability to make people lose themselves.

Even she’d be helpless if he really got stuck in that vortex. And she didn’t want that. Right now, she needed him. She needed her husband to be with him. How else was she supposed to fill the emptiness that their child left within her?

Mu Chenyan was right, Raelle did notice the way Shui Koshing stopped Mu Chenyan from continuing. How could it escape her eyes? But she didn’t point it out for Shui Xian’s sake. She knew there was only so much he was able to handle right now. And she didn’t want to add more to it.

However, that didn’t mean she’ll let it go either.

If the matter involved Shui Xian which she was certain that it did, then she had to know. If there was something hidden in the dark that could hurt him, she had to remove that danger. Even if that danger was just a secret lurking in the past. She had to make sure it didn’t hurt Shui Xian.

But the thing was, Raelle never had the habit of lying. She didn’t even know how to lie. If she figured out the truth which couldn’t stay hidden from her, then was she supposed to tell Shui Xian or not? That was a dilemma. How to solve it?

Shui Xian poked her forehead, “Where are you lost?”

“What? Did you say something?” asked Raelle.

“I said, I couldn’t find time to cook for you,” said Shui Xian. “So, let’s wait until you’re discharged and we go home. I’ll take care of everything once we’re home. Right now, I can’t bring myself to leave you here alone and go home.”

“It’s okay, I can wait,” replied Raelle. “In fact, we can get discharged right now.”

“Don’t even think about it,” was his stern response. He was definitely not willing to listen to her suggestions especially when it came to her health. He didn’t want to take any chances.

“By the way, has Tang Hebe ever told you that she hated me?” asked Raelle.

Shui Xian was taken aback and frowned, “What? Who is she to hate my wife?”

Raelle shook her head, “Don’t get so excited. She doesn’t hate your wife, Raelle. She just hated Raelle Xiang.” Shui Xian frowned at those words while she calmly went on, “In fact, the Tang Hebe I met didn’t have such feelings. It’s the one with amnesia who seems to hate me. The question is why?”

Shui Xian also fell into thought at her question. Not even for a second did he question the authenticity of Raelle’s words. How was it possible for his wife to have wrong observations?

“But back then, did she even know you?” asked Shui Xian. “Even I didn’t know you back then.”

“That’s what I want to know,” she told him. “How did she know me? When I didn’t even meet her once, how did she develop that hatred?”

“I think only she can answer that question,” was his response. “Do you want to ask?”

Raelle pondered over it before saying, “I’ll ask once she gets her memory back. Before that, asking her anything is pointless. I don’t wanna waste time on someone who is confused about her own identity.”

“Huh?” Shui Xian raised his brow at her. “She is confused about her own identity? Doesn’t she know who she is?”

“She has the wishful thinking that she is still Mrs. Shui,” said Raelle. “Doesn’t that mean she is confused about her identity?”

Shui Xian pursed his lips to hold back his laughter. How could he not want to laugh? She was being so obvious about her dislike towards the fact that someone was coveting her status as his wife. Aiyo! Why is she so cute?!
