By the time Raelle and Shui Xian came home, Shui Koshing had already gone to sleep. He usually slept early after taking his medication. It was only last night when he delayed taking his medicine because he felt like playing around with Raelle. Tonight, however, he followed his usual pattern.
Naturally, Raelle or Shui Xian would not disturb him at all. They went straight to their room. Shui Xian went to take the shower while Raelle took off her suit jacket before she fell down on the couch and let her body sink into it. She propped her feet on the stool that was placed nearby.
She held her phone as she scrolled through the messages. Raelle's personal number was only known to few people. Even her business partners had to get to her through Cloe or use her email to contact her. And no one could complain about that either since Raelle Xiang would never give her number to random people.
So, currently, the very familiar four people had texted her.
Cloe: Chief, I ordered the phone you asked me to. It'll be delivered to the address you gave me.
Raelle nodded her head in satisfaction. Even if Cloe was in a bad mood because of her personal condition, she was still very efficient. That was one of the biggest reasons, Raelle valued this assistant.
Yanyan: My dear Elle, did you have a good time with your husband and your best friend? I am sure you did. Now, have a good rest. Don't stay up late to work.
Raelle pressed the record button and sent a short voice message in reply, "You also have a good rest." Obviously, she wasn't actually gonna bother typing that message.
The third message was from someone she had gone out to meet today...
Hyson: Use my gift wisely! *wink emoji*
"Scram!" she sent him a voice message as well.
The last person who texted her was actually a bit unusual. Because the message was from Hyson's mother. Although Raelle only met her a few times, she had a very good impression of her. And since she was Hyson's best mom, how could she not have Raelle's personal number? But it was very rare for her to reach out to Raelle.
Mother Yue: I hope you like the gift. I wanted to give it to you personally but it's alright. I just hope my best wishes are able to accompany you on this new journey. Congratulations on your marriage! May you both always see heart to heart!
Raelle read her message three times before her eyes wandered over to the gift box she had placed on the bed after coming back. Her fingers tapped on the armrest for a minute before she stood up and went to the bed. She sat down on the edge and placed the gift box on her lap. Only now she noticed that a beautiful picture of a bride and groom was drawn with a silver pen on the lid of the black box.
She had just untied the ribbon when the bathroom door opened which caught her attention and she lifted her eyes. At first, she was only gonna glance once before shifting her attention back to the thing at hand but the sight before her made her eyes stare fixedly.
Shui Xian's half-naked body was right in front of her as he stood beside the bathroom door. When Shui Xian closed the door of the bathroom, he noticed Raelle looking at him and told her, "Oh, I forgot to take my clothes."
Raelle looked at the white towel hanging loosely around his lower body like it about to fall any minute now and nodded her head. But even while doing so, her eyes didn't leave his body. His lean figure looked enticing because of the recent shower he had just taken. And let's not forget that perfect V-shaped body. Even the lines below his hips were prominent. How could one not look?
While Shui Xian moved towards the walk-in closet, he could still feel her eyes on his back. He couldn't help but stop as he turned around to ask, "Wifey, stop looking already!"
Raelle shrugged her shoulders, "What's the problem? I'm looking at my personal property. Am I not allowed to look at my own personal property now?"
Shui Xian pressed his lips together as he looked at her. Earlier in the evening, she had said he belonged to her. And now he was her personal property. If he said anything, she was definitely gonna say she had legal proof of this.
However, who said he was gonna question her?
Although his wife had so much bookish knowledge, she was really not playing by the book. So, he had to follow along on that route as well.
He changed the trajectory and took languid steps towards her. And as he came closer, Raelle had to tilt her head to look at his face but who the hell was looking at his face? Raelle's attention was still on his bare body that looked like a work of art. Perfectly carved! Immaculate! And so close now!
Shui Xian could see that her eyes had no such thing as lust. They were still just a pair of eyes brimming with innocence. But he wondered how such innocent eyes made his body heat up? This didn't make sense!
Raelle had rolled up the sleeves of her white button-up after she had taken off her suit jacket. The front two buttons of her shirt were also undone, giving a peek of her collar bones. Shui Xian held her wrist and placed her hand on his abdominal muscles as he said, "I'm sure only looking is not enough."
Raelle obviously wouldn't reject this offer. Her hand moved up to the symmetrically balanced muscles on his chest as she traced down every muscle on his upper body ever so slowly. And while her fingers feather-like touch continued, Shui Xian felt like he just dug his own grave!
Clearly, she was unaffected but the way her hand was playing around definitely was leaving a burning trail behind. It was scorching hot.
It was like she was challenging him in her own way. The abstinence he kept for years was being transformed into a want for decadence under her touch. He had always been proud of his self-control but at this moment, he felt like his resolve was crumbling under merely the simple touch of his wife.
