COLD CEO AND ARROGANT WIFE, VOLUME 5 - Season 9 Episode 60

“Wife, try this soup,” said Shui Xian as soon as he entered with a steaming bowl of soup. “I made it myself for you.”

Raelle put down the book she was reading and got down from the bed. She didn’t want to eat in bed any longer. She had been eating in bed for days. She went to wash her hands and came out to sit with him. She looked at the soup and asked, “Is this chicken soup?”

“Yes, I added some herbs for your health,” he added. “Don’t worry, I consulted the doctor. It might not taste as amazing as simple chicken soup and might even taste like medicine but bear with it. It’s all for your health.”

“Do you think I’m afraid of drinking it?” she asked as she took the bowl of soup from him.

As she lifted the spoon, he said, “Blow on it first. It’s hot. Don’t burn yourself.”

Seeing how he was keeping an eye on her, Raelle blew on it before drinking the soup. The taste really didn’t matter much to her. Besides, this was made by her husband who actually woke up at four to make it. She couldn’t even understand why he had to do it but he said the chicken had to be stewed for hours. Of course, he didn’t explain further and she didn’t ask further as well.

“Hubby!”

“Yes?” he asked. “Does it taste bad? Do you need anything else?”

Raelle gave him a look, “Didn’t Ma Jin drop off some documents? You go over there and deal with it.”

“But I…”

Before he could continue, Raelle’s eyes made him stop. “Go.”

He pursed his lips and went to the side to see what documents Ma Jin brought. He was very dissatisfied with his assistant who actually pushed him to work while he was taking care of his wife. But under the eyes of his wife, he couldn’t do anything except resentfully pick up the work.

Raelle had been under his watchful eyes for days and really thought he needed to pay attention to other things. She was just drinking soup, did he have to keep an eye on her? As if he was scared that this soup will also hurt her. She definitely was old enough to know what could be done and what couldn’t be done. He didn’t have to make such a scene.

Raelle slowly drank the soup thinking about something. After she was done, she wiped her mouth and asked, “Hubby, can I have my phone?”

Shui Xian looked up at her and raised his brow inquisitively.

“I’m not gonna work. I asked Anna to do something, I just need to know about the progr

ess,” she replied honestly. Obviously, she didn’t mention the details of what she asked Anna to do. And neither did he ask. Since he didn’t ask, she definitely won’t mention it right now.

Shui Xian thought about it before nodding his head. He took out her phone and gave it to her saying, “You can keep it with you. The doctor said it’s okay to have something to do.”

“So, I can have my laptop as well?” she asked. More than her phone, she needed her laptop to work.

“Yes,” he replied helplessly. “Just don’t overwork yourself. Take it slow.”

“Got it,” she replied. “Besides, you’re here to keep an eye on me. How can I overwork with you around?”

He agreed with those words and went back to do his own things. He had been avoiding it but couldn’t run from it at all. Not like the company was gonna collapse without him but these people still insisted on making him work. Where was the justice in this world? He couldn’t even accompany his sick wife to the hospital in peace!

After he was done lamenting, he seriously focused on the work that had piled up for him within a few days. Even if sent his father to help, it wasn’t enough. Shui Koshing took early retirement and left everything in Shui Xian’s hands. All the power was now in Shui Xian’s hands and definitely Shui Koshing couldn’t handle everything on his own without his son.

Raelle called Anna to inquire about the progress, “Didn’t you find anything yet? Why is it taking so long?”

There was silence on the other side before she got a response, “Missy, things are not simple as they appeared to be. I have some lead on your mother-in-law’s case but Miss Tang Hebe’s son… We are not able to understand his situation and don’t have any clues for now as well. Don’t worry, I’ll let you know as soon as I have the details.”

Raelle silently pondered over it before asking, “Just what kind of a mystery is it that even you aren’t able to uncover it?”

“No matter what kind of a mystery is it, I’ll uncover it,” said Anna with certainty. “I just need some time.”

“Okay, you don’t take so much time,” said Raelle. “I don’t want to waste so much time on this. If you can’t find anything about Justin, let it be. I’ll ask Yanyan to help if I have to.”

“That’s a good idea,” agreed Anna. “With Mistress around, it’ll be easier to find some things.”

Raelle hummed, “I’ll look into it. Get back to work and keep me posted.”
;

“Will do,” replied Anna before hanging up.

Raelle continued to look at her phone screen in silence and even when the screen turned black, her eyes were stuck on the phone’s screen. It seemed she had something on her mind again.

Staying in the hospital was actually quite boring but thankfully, Shui Xian brought some books for Raelle to read. And with books around, Raelle could live even in a cave without complaining. Maybe that was an exaggeration. But it was true that with books around, Raelle didn’t insist on leaving the hospital as much as she did before. Now, she was also given her phone and her laptop, if nothing else, she could oversee some of the work in this way.
