259: Small Things

Small Things

Since Mu Chenyan and Yue Yue got to talk to Raelle at such a time. They continued to talk for over an hour without Raelle realizing it. In fact, the ones talking would be Mu Chenyan and Yue Yue. Raelle's only job was to add a word or two but it was enough for her to lose track of time around these two beautiful ladies.  1

When they finally hung up, Raelle went to get ready to sleep. She was tying up the belt of her nightgown when her phone rang. She picked up the call and looked at Shui Xian's face.

"Did you reach?" she asked.

"Yeah. I just got to the hotel and thought I should let you know. So that you can go to sleep."

"Who said I was waiting for your call? Can't you see I'm all set to sleep already?"

She even moved the phone camera to let him see her nightgown. It just so happens that today she was wearing a nightgown that reached her thighs. It had a plunging neckline giving him full access to see her cleavage. Her long fair legs were also on display. Not only that, while moving, her belt came loose and the gown slid down her shoulder slightly giving her a very enticing look.

Shui Xian licked his dry lips and picked up the glass of water at the nightstand to take a sip. 

"Waifu, I just got here. Do you have to seduce me so early? Why are you making me already regret the decision to come here?"

Raelle looked at him innocently, "When did I seduce you?" Seeing how his eyes were roaming around her body, she said, "This much is already enough to seduce you? Don't you usually see it every day?"

"When you see it every day, it doesn't feel the same. But now that I'm so far away, I can already feel it all."

"I think there is something seriously wrong with this logic," said Raelle.

"Then let me rephrase it for you," replied Shui Xian. "I miss you."

"Already?" asked Raelle. "We were just together about four hours ago."

"Four hours have 240 minutes and there are 14400 seconds in 240 minutes. How exactly is that a short time?"

"I don't even want to continue this discussion," said Raelle.

Shui Xian chuckled at her response, "Fine. I won't continue it either." 

Raelle went to sit on the bed and leaned against the headboard with the phone in her hand. Looking at his tired eyes, she asked, "You haven't taken a bath yet?"

"No, as soon as I entered the hotel, I called you. Because I thought my wife would be waiting for my call. But who knew my wife would break my heart by saying that she wasn't waiting for my call. How cruel!" Seeing how Raelle stared at him blankly, he changed his expressions and answered, "After talking to you, I'll take a bath."

"You can take the phone with you inside the bathroom," suggested Raelle.

Shui Xian's lips twitched, "Babes, what is your obsession with trying to sneak into the bath when I'm showering?"

"It's something I haven't been able to accomplish yet," replied Raelle matter-of-factly. "So, of course, I'd try everything to sneak my way in."

"Even now?"

"One should never give up no matter the circumstances."

Shui Xian chuckled to himself happily. He felt like talking to her made him relax. 

"I might not be able to call you as frequently in the coming days," told Shui Xian. 

"I know already," said Raelle.

"And there is a chance that we won't be able to have long calls once I started working here."

"I also know that as well."

"If you know everything what am I supposed to say?" asked Shui Xian.

"You can say whatever you want to," replied Raelle.

"But you already know everything," he argued.

"I'll still listen to you attentively," she told him. "By the way, what about that surprise?"

Shui Xian knocked on his head, "I almost forgot. Get up!"

"Huh?"

"Get up and go downstairs," said Shui Xian.

"Now?"

"Yes, right now!" stressed Shui Xian. "You can go just like this. There won't be anyone roaming around at this time." 

Raelle followed his instructions and reached the second floor. As per his directions, she opened the door of the room in the corner and stepped inside. As she turned on the lights, she was left staring at the room for a long while.

There were high-efficiency gaming PCs set up in the room. The entire room was like heaven for any gaming fan. But it's a pity she wasn't one. She didn't particularly enjoy playing video games. But she could already tell the purpose of this room.

"You want me to play video games with Bà here," it was more of a statement rather than a question.

Shui Xian wasn't surprised that she understood his intentions so easily. He nodded his head, "Yes. It'd be convenient to play here. And also, it'd be more comfortable with these types of equipment. I wanted you to have fun while playing games." Before Raelle could say anything, he went on, "I know you don't like playing games but you do enjoy it when you play it with others. I've seen it when you played with Bà or even when we had the duel."

"Hubby, what are you up to?"

"I'm trying to spoil my wife. Why? Is something wrong with that?"

"No, but are you sure this is the right way to do it?"

"I'm pretty sure it's the right way in your case," answered Shui Xian firmly. 

Shui Xian might know about others but he knew about his wife. She had everything in life as long as she wanted it but the thing was, she never really wanted such things. Perhaps that's why even in her teenage years, she never experienced a rebellious phase. He wanted her to experience what she didn't experience in her younger years. 

For instance, playing hooky in school to go to gaming rooms. 

Now, she couldn't play hooky at school but he could definitely let her experience the joy of small things.
