Master's Untamed Wife-Chapter 908: [Bonus chapter] Trip

"Are we going straight home?" asked Raelle as they got inside the car.

Shui Xian looked over at her and nodded, "Where else do you want to go? I'm not taking you to the company."

"I didn't even say anything about that," said Raelle. "You said, we'll go to the temple once I'm discharged from the hospital."

Of course, Shui Xian remembered that very well. How could he forget what he said to her? He should have kept in mind that she won't forget it either.

Shui Xian looked over at her, his brows raising ever so slightly, "I thought you'd want to go home first."

Raelle didn't think much about it, "It's all the same. I don't mind going to the temple first. You said it, so you should keep your word."

Shui Xian lowered his gaze. "Okay, let's go then. It'll be a long ride. Are you okay with that? How about you lie down? I'll drive slowly?"

"You can call for a driver," said Raelle.

Shui Xian shook his head, "No, I'll drive myself. You pull the seat back and relax. Although I know you don't take naps, I'll still suggest you try. I'll wake you up once we are there."

Raelle knew she won't be able to sleep but she still closed her eyes to try. There was silence in the car. Shui Xian would glance at her sleeping face from his peripheral vision every other minute. He could see she wasn't able to sleep. It seemed she was really recovering so her body was going back to her usual routine of not taking naps.

When she was at the hospital, she'd still often end up sleeping during the day. Well, sleep was a way to recover the body so he thought it was a good thing. f𝐫ee𝘄ℯ𝚋no𝐯𝐞l.c𝘰m

It was a completely impromptu trip to the temple so they didn't prepare anything. It was gonna take over three hours to drive to the temple. It was quite some distance from the bustling city.

Raelle suddenly sat up and fixed her seat saying, "Couldn't sleep."

Shui Xian chuckled, "I know. Wife, you've worked hard. Trying to sleep when I told you."

Raelle didn't say anything in response. What was she to say? Tell him that she could see how he had been on his toes while she was at the hospital. He kept worrying about her and running around trying to make her comfortable at the hospital. She wasn't blind. No, she even saw more than most people. So, she took in everything that Shui Xian did during this time.

She already listened to him but now, she felt like if by listening to him more, he'll feel more comfortable, she was okay with it.

"It's not like you," commented Shui Xian.

"What??"

"Following everything I say," he added.

"Wasn't I always an obedient person?" she asked.

"No, it's different this time around," he pointed it out. "I might not be as smart as you are. But I'm your husband. We share the same pillow at night. How can I not understand you that much?"

"Stop worrying about me at the expense of your health and I'll go back to being how I was," she replied without trying to squirm her way out of this discussion.

"Wife, I understand now why you were called an obedient child," said Shui Xian. "Seeing Grandfather and Yanyan fussing over you and worrying to the point of ruining their own health must have been difficult, eh? So, you decided to follow whatever they said just so they could be at peace."

"I was young and thought that was all I could for the care they offered to me. I could try to be obedient and never let them worry about me. With time, the habit just sunk deep into my bones. But it's not like I'm blindly following their leads." 𝘧r𝑒𝘦𝒘𝘦𝙗ｎovel.𝐜o𝒎

"Of course, not. You'd only follow what seems reasonable and acceptable to you."

"Exactly!"

Raelle was looking at the greenery around them and the winding paths ahead when she heard him ask, "Should we take a break? To eat something or rest?"

"No," replied Raelle. "Just keep driving."

"Okay," agreed Shui Xian and continued to move forward. "By the way, I've been meaning to ask you. What did you do to Tang Hebe? Why did I feel like she is kinda traumatized by you?"

Raelle thought about it, "I don't think I did anything wrong."

Shui Xian chuckled. Even if she didn't think she did anything wrong, it didn't mean she didn't do something to scare the other person.

"Still, what did you do?"

"Nothing. I just made her realize that she is a coward," replied Raelle.

Shui Xian's brows raised up when he heard that. He hummed in response but didn't say anything. There was nothing to say at all. If Raelle said Tang Hebe was a coward then she was. Besides, even Shui Xian knew by now what Tang Hebe was.

"Oh, and she is a very insecure person," added Raelle. "I'm not sure if I should blame her for that or not. Hyson said the way people are nurtured plays a significant role in shaping their personality."

"You and Fai have very interesting topics," commented Shui Xian. Right at that time, Raelle's phone rang and the called id made Shui Xian shake his head, "Oh, speak of the devil, and the devil appears."

Raelle picked up the call.

"Do you know that most of our happy hormones have more to do with our guts than our brain? No wonder people feel happier after eating food. Also, that's why they say to capture a man's heart, you need to walk through his stomach." He was babbling on and on about it with interest without any break. He didn't even allow Raelle to speak for a second. It was like he just called her to listen to him. But that seemed to be true as well. He really might have just called to share his new discovery which no one else was willing to listen to.
