COLD CEO AND ARROGANT WIFE, VOLUME 5 - Season 9 Episode 2

But just because Raelle wasn’t interested in matchmaking didn’t mean Hyson wasn’t as well. He felt like he needed to do something fulfilling and what could be better than throwing people on blind dates?

“Bye-bye!” Hyson waved with both hands at them. “Since you’re no help, I’m gonna go and find someone who can help.”

“Good luck to you,” said Shui Xian.

“Scram already!” was what Raelle said making him stick out his tongue at her before leaving.

“This child really knows how to keep himself busy,” commented Shui Xian.

“Let him be,” said Raelle. “He seems very happy to play the role of a matchmaker.”

“As long as he is happy,” was Shui Xian’s response. He also got influenced by the people of the Xiang family and really thought that even if Hyson wasted his time, it was alright as long as he was happy. But then again, who wouldn’t want to see Prince Fai happy? He was a bundle of sunshine, so everyone wished to see him smiling all the time brightly.

“Did your sister go back?” asked Raelle.

Shui Xian shook his head, “No, it seems she is still in the city. I was worried that she’d harm herself so I asked someone to keep an eye on her. She didn’t do anything. In fact, she didn’t step out of the house since yesterday. I guess the truth she learned yesterday hit her very hard. I just hope she doesn’t distance herself from everything.”

“You can’t blame her though,” said Raelle. “Who knew that the person she called her savior was in fact the predator who almost ruined her? Anyone would be walloped. Especially someone like Amiah who has a prickly shell but is actually a little naive.”

Shui Xian looked at her, “You figured her out that easily?”

“Was it hard?” asked Raelle. “Even if she acts like a b*tch, she doesn’t have the evilness of the real b*tches. She is just someone who can only talk crap but she can’t do anything. If she had a good judgment of people, she wouldn’t be where she is right now. Let’s take Hyson’s accident as an example. If she really had a good judgment of people, she’d have realized how scheming her assistant was. But she didn’t.” She took a pause and added, “But she also has her plus points.”

“For instance?” asked Shui Xian curiously. He genuinely wanted to know what his sister’s good points were and how he had not been able to see any of them?

“For instance, the people she considers her own, she will protect them even if she has to suffer herself. She is very clear about the people she likes and dislikes.”

“And?”

Raelle stayed quiet before saying, “She is also good-looking.”

Shui Xian chuckled, “That’s it?”

“I’ve only met her three times,” she said. “How can I know everything about her so soon?”

Shui Xian tilted his head as he looked into her eyes lovingly, “Then how come you even read my soul just within our few meetings?”

“That’s because you’re the man I planned to spend my life with,” she answered honestly. “Of course, I’d pay extra attention to figure you out. But my interest in your sister isn’t all that deep.”

Shui Xian smiled at how honestly she told him that. Okay, even he knew she was just interested in him.

“But you should contact Sora Ke,” suggested Raelle. “I heard she is her best friend of Amiah and the latter listens to her as well. During this time, it’s better for someone to stay with her.”

Shui Xian also agreed with what she said. He decided to contact Sora and ask her to check up on Amiah. As a brother, he definitely didn’t want his sister to be all alone in this situation. But he couldn’t do anything else since Amiah was the one who distanced herself from the family.

“How do you think Tang Hebe will react if she recovered her memories after waking up?” questioned Raelle.

Shui Xian touched his earlobe and replied, “Why are you so interested in that? Don’t talk about others.”

“Then who should I talk about?” she asked.

“Me,” replied Shui Xian. “You, me, and us. You can only talk about these three.”

“What is there to talk about us?” asked Raelle.

“There is so much,” he said. “Just think carefully.”

“What if I’m not in the mood of thinking?”

Shui Xian pursed his lips before saying, “Then let’s forget it. Don’t think. Since you can’t think anything then just lie down and take a nap.”

“What? Just because I am in no mood of thinking, I should go to sleep? Don’t you think I slept enough already?”

Shui Xian shook his head, “No. You’ve been through so much. The doctor said more sleep is good. Don’t you know that sleep is best for fast recovery? You need to give your body time to recover well.”

“You just want me to keep sleeping now,” remarked Raelle. “But where am I supposed to find that much sleep? Sleep and I are not really good friends. We both don’t like each other that much.”

Shui Xian smiled at her, “No, sleep loves you. I think it’s you who has issues with sleep. After all, sleeping is also a kind of a waste of time and keeps you from reading more books, doing more work, exploring new things etc etc.”

Raelle fell into deep thought, “Is it really like that? Do you mean sleep is now scared of disturbing me?”

Shui Xian shook his head at her and made her lie down saying, “Whether you can sleep or not, just lie down and rest. Don’t just sit all the time.” As he was about to step away, she held his sleeve. He looked back at her and the way she pinched his sleeve which made his heart melt. “I’m not going anywhere. Just helping you with the blanket.”

“Then how about you come up?”

Shui Xian wasn’t surprised by her words. He already noticed it in the past two days. He was clingy and they knew it. But Raelle had been acting clingier along with him in the past two days. He could tell it was because of the accident and it made his heart hurt.

Keeping a smile on his face, he replied, “Sure. I’m right here with you.”
