COLD CEO AND ARROGANT WIFE, VOLUME 4 - Season 8 Episode 5

“Sister-in-law, have you met Hebe’s son?” asked Cui Xukun curiously.

“No,” answered Raelle. She showed him Tang Hebe’s phone, “But I talked to his nanny. She sounded really distressed.”

Shui Xian didn’t participate in this conversation at all. While Cui Xukun kept peaking glances at him. Noticing his glances, Shui Xian asked, “What? Why are you looking at me? Do you also think that’s my son?”

Cui Xukun shook his head immediately, “That thought might have crossed my mind at first but I couldn’t even believe it myself.”

“Oh?” Shui Xian raised his brow at Cui Xukun. “And why is that so?”

“Because you have never been an irresponsible person,” said Cui Xukun. “You’d have insisted on keeping the marriage if Bebe was pregnant.”

“There is also a possibility that she hid it from me,” said Shui Xian.

Cui Xukun shook his head, “No. Because Hebe is also not that kind of a person. She’d never want her child to grow up in an incomplete family. Even if she was unhappy with the marriage, if there was a child involved, she’d have stayed.”

Raelle who was listening to them only had one thought, ‘A child is a dangerous weapon.’

Well, wasn’t it? It seemed to her. As Cui Xukun said, Tang Hebe would have even bore with an unhappy marriage for the sake of a child and Shui Xian would never have let her go if a child was involved. Wasn’t that a dangerous scenario?

She unconsciously touched her stomach. She didn’t have the baby anymore.

Shui Xian flicked her forehead making her snap back to reality. He looked into her eyes and said, “Let your brain rest.”

Raelle touched her forehead and feigned a yelp, “Ouch! That hurt.”

Shui Xian almost rolled his eyes at her. Wasn’t that reaction speed too slow? And it was so obvious that she was faking it. But he couldn’t blame her either. He rubbed her forehead and said, “I’m sorry.” He kissed the spot where he flicked her and added, “But I need you to focus. Stop thinking.”

“You can’t read my mind,” she said.

Shui Xian looked at her hand that she still had on her stomach and smiled at her, “Maybe I can. We are husband and wife. We have magical telepathy now.”

Cui Xukun coughed and reminded, “I’m still here.”

“And why are you still here?” was Shui Xian’s response. “Stop talking about Tang Hebe’s son.”

“Oh, okay,” was the only thing Cui Xukun say. He did want to argue but he noticed it wasn’t the right time at all.

At this time, Cloe came back and served the meal to Raelle. She actually heard a part of the conversation and decided to speak, “Chief, do you think we should bring Miss Tang’s son to the hospital?”

“But the doctor said it’s not good to stress her or force her to remember anything,” said Raelle.

“We aren’t forcing her,” stated Cloe. “We are just gonna bring her son here and let them meet naturally. We won’t have to tell her who he is. Considering that a child always has a special connection with a mother, it’s possible that his appearance might evoke her memory?”

“I think Cloe is right,” said Cui Xukun. “Besides, it’ll be difficult to hide this matter from her son for long as well. He is also young and must be missing his mother. So, there is no harm in letting them meet.”

Shui Xian was helping Raelle with her food but he heard everything and was in deep thought. The person who was most eager to bring Tang Hebe’s memory back had to be him. He didn’t want to hear that ‘Ah-Xian’ from her mouth one more time!

Even his wife didn’t call him that!

“Let’s discuss this in detail with the doctor tomorrow,” said Raelle.

“Why not today?” asked Shui Xian.

“We shouldn’t be so hasty,” said Raelle. “Besides, temporary memory loss often gets better within 24 hours. We should wait for at least that much before making a decision. Let’s not rush it. We wouldn’t wanna make the situation worse.”

“I just had a discussion with the doctor,” told Cloe. “He said Miss Tang’s reports are normal. They didn’t find a damaged nerve which strengthens his belief that this memory loss is more so caused by shock. It’s a psychological thing.” She took a pause and added, “If you want should I discuss with the doctor about bringing her son?”

Raelle waved her hand, “You can do whatever you want.”

“Yes, Chief,” Cloe was happy to hear that. But even she wasn’t sure why she was so eager to do something and help in bringing Tang Hebe’s memory back. Well, it concerned Raelle’s life so that meant it indirectly concerned her as well. So, it was normal. At least, that’s what she told herself.

“Please have your meal, we’ll leave now,” said Cloe as she pulled Cui Xukun out.

Shui Xian blew on the hot soup and brought it to Raelle’s mouth while she obediently opened her mouth and drank it. He knew she won’t talk while eating but he still told her, “Darling, you need to keep in mind that my relationship with Tang Hebe ended long ago.”

Raelle looked into his eyes and nodded her head. Going against her rules of not speaking while eating, she said, “I understand that.”

Shui Xian wiped the corner of her mouth as he added, “Then don’t ever forget that you’re my legal wife now. Shui Xian is all yours. And all Shui Xian wants is you. If there is a third party between us, that’s your work!”

Raelle sipped on the soup and swallowed it before saying, “Is that really the third party?”

Shui Xian nodded his head and told her, “So, in the future, pay more attention to your Hubby.”

“Okay,” she agreed without any hesitation.

No, she always agreed without any hesitation as long as what he said didn’t go against her principles. But today when she agreed so easily to prioritize him over her work, he felt his heart ache a little.
