COLD CEO AND ARROGANT WIFE, VOLUME 5 - Season 10 Episode 44

“How is Tang Hebe?” asked Cui Xukun ruining Shui Xian’s good mood. He wanted to punch him right now. “Why are you asking me about her? Am I related to her? How would I know how she is retorted Shui Man in a bad mood while glaring at Cui Xukun. Cui Xukun rubbed his nose as he didn’t think he asked the wrong question. Even if they were not related to each other anymore, they were at the same hospital, no? How come Shui Xian didn’t anew about Tang Hebe’s condition? Was he really disinterested?

“Shouldn’t you know? She was in the same hospital and on the same floor as your wife,” reminded Cui Xukun. “If you want to know about her, go to see her yourself,” said Shui Xian plainly. “Or you can ask my wife instead of me. She is clearer about Tang Hebe’s health than me.”

Cui Xukun stared at him in disbelief. Was he hearing it right? Shui Xian’s wife was clearer about his ex-wife’s condition rather than him. Well, he didn’t think Shui Man really had to know about Tang Hebe. Having too much interest in her wasn’t good either considering he was already married to Raelle now. But who knew it’d be his wife, who’d be interested in Tang Hebe. So, the very first thought when he learned about Shui Xian’s second marriage was right. This is an odd couple! Definitely an odd one! “Why is she clearer than you?” asked Cui Xukun. “Because my wife isn’t an ungrateful person,” replied Shui Xian.

“Since Tang Hebe saved her, she obviously would pay a little more attention to her recovery. That’s all I know. Apart from that what interest Raelle has in Tang Hebe is unknown. After all, mere mortals can’t understand the thoughts of a goddess.”

Cui Xukun pursed his lips as he said, You don’t feel anything calling her a goddess so shamelessly?” “You disagree?” Shui Man gave him a look that said ‘you dare say you disagree and I’m gonna tear you apart’..) Cui Xukun was so shocked by this reaction. Okay! His childhood best friend was broken. Yup! This man is broken! Forget it, there was no point arguing with him anyway.

“You’re a lost cause,” remarked Cui Xukun. “What did you say?” Cui Xukun shrugged, “I just said how you’re a mere mortal as well while she is a goddess. Do you think mortals deserve goddesses?” “What do you know? The best love stories are written between mortals and gods. Besides, who said mortals can’t covet goddesses? This love can go against the rules of heaven and earth.”

“Oh my gosh! Yup! Definitely a lost cause. I have no words!” Shui Man stood up to leave as he threw him a glance, “Who asked for your opinion? He wanted to go look for his wife because he was already missing her. But he ran into Xiang Wai and Zhai Yanjun as they were coming from upstairs. Xiang Wai was hugging Zhai Yanjun’s arm and had a sweet smile on his face which looked so out of place. Seeing Shui Xian, the couple stopped and separated.

But suddenly recalled that Shui Man already knew about them, so they very naturally went back to sticking together making Shui Man snicker at their actions. “If you both are trying to keep it a secret, at least be a little low-key,” commented Shui Xian. “The way you’re both looking at each other is practically like announcing to the whole world that you’re together.”

“You’re thinking too much, meifu(younger sister’s husband)!” said Xiang Wai. “I’m not thinking too much, Wai! Do you think everyone is blind here?” asked Shui Man. “In this house, no one is a fool. Everyone is exceptionally perceptive.

They can even see the unseen. Much less your very obvious amorous glances.

By now, everyone already knows something is going on between you two “No way,” denied Xiang Wai but her expression was serious now. “Just because they aren’t speaking up doesn’t mean they don’t know,” was Shui Xian’s response. “I know this family. Even if they know, they won’t speak unless you bring it up. After all, it’s your life and they don’t like being nosy.”

“If everyone knew, by now Aunt Yan would have started baring her teeth at Jun.”

“Yanyan isn’t that impulsive,” said Shui Man. “As I said, they won’t speak unless you make your stance clear. Until then, even she’ll pretend like she is blind and can’t see what’s happening between you two. That’s just how they all
Zhai Yanjun didn’t doubt Shui Man’s words even if Xiang Wai had doubts.

After all, he was also quite familiar with this family and knew how they were. “Then what should we do?” asked Xiang Wai in a very innocent manner. She looked like a lost kid who didn’t know how to carry on or what to do from now on. It baffled Shui Man.

Truly, the person who could be considered ‘simple’ in this family was actually this thorny Major Xiang Wai. Yup! She was very simple. At least when compared to other members of this family. He suddenly wondered how this middle child of the family managed to be born in this family. Wasn’t she a little out of place being squeezed between someone like Xiang Weimin above and Raelle Xiang below?

He sighed mentally. Maybe that was Xiang Wai’s charm though. Being simple. “Do nothing,” said Shui Man. “Just be yourself. There is no need to change anything. As I said, as long as you won’t explicitly speak about your relationship, no one will bring up this topic.”

“Even if they have opinions?” asked Xiang Wai. Shui Man chuckled, “Major, you’re oddly adorable. Even if anyone has opinions in this family, they keep them to themselves. This is your life and your life partner is your choice. They won’t force you to change yourself or your feelings.” “But didn’t they have opinions and that’s why Raelle married you?”

“You have the wrong information,” said Shui Xian. “Ours might be an arranged marriage but we both met each other and it was after we agreed that they proceeded. Trust me, there was nothing against our will going on. You can be at peace.”

Xiang Wai finally stopped asking questions. She just realized that she had more to learn about her family. She had a long way to go.. Sigh!
