COLD CEO AND ARROGANT WIFE, VOLUME 5 - Season 9 Episode 34

It was while strolling in the garden that Raelle could perceive someone pointing at her. When she turned out, she was met with the eyes of a small kid blinking at her. Then she moved her eyes at looked at the woman beside the kid.

Instantly, Tang Hebe looked flustered when she met Raelle’s eyes. She felt like she was caught doing something wrong.

Raelle raised her hand and waved at Tang Hebe and the latter’s idea of running away collapsed. Well, why does she have to run? Why was she such a coward even after all these years? Tang Hebe puffed up her chest and reminded herself that she wasn’t a weakling anymore! She refused to be a coward again!

Shui Xian frowned when he noticed Raelle’s movement and followed her gaze. When he looked at Tang Hebe, there was no special reaction from him. He looked as usual.

“Wife, I just noticed,” said Shui Xian. “You seem to have more interest in people than in your own husband.”

“What are you talking about?” asked Raelle. “You’re my husband. My interest in you is at a peak level! Don’t doubt it.”

“How can I not doubt?” he retorted. “I’m right beside you but your eyes are stuck on someone else.”

Raelle blinked at him, “Are you perhaps, jealous?”

Shui Xian turned his face away as he cleared his throat and said, “No. How is that possible?”

“Well, it’s better if you’re not jealous,” she said.

Slowly, Tang Hebe walked towards them and came to stand a little distance away from them. She looked at both of them and put on a sincere expression as she said, “I seem to have troubled your life in the past few days. I’m really sorry about that.”

“I usually don’t like troubles,” stated Raelle. “But you saved my life. I can do this much in return.”

Tang Hebe smiled bitterly, “You’re looking at the bright side of things. If you think about it, technically, I killed your… child.”

Shui Xian’s expression changed when he heard that and the hand holding Raelle squeezed a little. Even Tang Hebe noticed the gloomy air that emanated from his body. She felt her heart-wrenching. This guilt was truly gonna kill her. She couldn’t give a child to him when they were together and when he finally was gonna be a father, she again took that chance away from him. How could anyone live with that?

At least, she wasn’t that heartless. She still had her conscience condemning her at every single turn. She couldn’t even look into their eyes right now.

Raelle took in the reaction of both Tang Hebe who seemed to be cursing herself in her heart and of her own husband who must be reminded of his pain and the loss all over again.

“I’ll say the same thing I said before to others,” started Raelle. “If you didn’t push me, along with my child, I might also be not here today.” Shui Xian’s hand squeezed hers so tightly that he seemed to be obstructing the blood flow of her hand but Raelle didn’t react at all. “I believe your intervention saved at least one person. And you did it at the expense of your own life.”

Tang Hebe was stunned to hear that response from Raelle and stared into her eyes. She could see that Raelle meant everything she just said. But then again, Raelle always meant what she said. How could a person like her know to tell lies to make others feel good? She wasn’t that person for sure.

“If you kept being this guilty about it, you’d be making yourself live in the prison of guilt for a lifetime. But do you really deserve it?” asked Raelle.

“I should be the one consoling you for your loss,” said Tang Hebe. “Why are you the one knocking sense into my head?”

“You seem to have a lack of sense,” was Raelle’s straightforward response.

It stunned Tang Hebe and made Shui Xian’s lips twitch. But he didn’t disagree with her words. Indeed, Tang Hebe did seem to lack some sense. And who was the best person to knock some sense into your head? It’s definitely Raelle Xiang! He knew it from personal experience.

Tang Hebe continued to stare at her in disbelief, “You really don’t mince your words at all.”

“I’m sorry if my words were offending,” said Raelle. “But I really don’t know how to mince my words. People did advise me to buy a filter for my mouth but sadly, I didn’t find anything like a filter for the mouth on the market as of now.” She took a pause and added, “In the end, I just want to tell you that we can’t have everything in life. It’s just how life works.”

“Maybe you’re right,” said Tang Hebe. “Accidents do happen.”

“Accidents?” repeated Raelle. “In Quantum Universe there is no such thing as accidents, only possibilities, and probabilities folded into existence by perception. So, accidents really don’t just happen.”

Tang Hebe was momentarily lost for words and Shui Xian was finding it amusing. There his wife was proving her love for science all over again! See? Knowledge was the key! If you’re knowledgeable you could make anyone speechless. And of course, the best person to make you speechless was none other than Raelle Xiang.

Always have faith in her abilities.

“I don’t follow that,” said Tang Hebe.

Raelle looked at her and then at Shui Xian, “Maybe I should refrain from this discussion.”

“You think so?” asked Shui Xian. It was the first time he opened his mouth to say something since the time Tang Hebe came to talk to them.

“Yes,” replied Raelle as she nodded her head.

Shui Xian patted her head, “It’s good that you know.”

Raelle looked back at Tang Hebe and started, “But I have a question for you, Ms. Tang. Do you mind answering?”

“What is it?” Tang Hebe felt a little uneasy under Raelle’s gaze.

“You don’t look like a selfless person,” stated Raelle. “Then why risk your life for someone you hate?”
