Chapter 1206: High Blood Pressure

Raelle was looking through the progress report in her hands when her phone rang. She picked up the call and put it on speaker, "Hm?"         

    

"Are you done?" came Shui Xian's voice from the other side.     

"Almost," replied Raelle.     

"Then get it done soon. I'm waiting for you."     

Raelle first looked at the time and then asked, "You came to pick me up?"     

"Yeah."     

"If I knew that I'd get the privilege of having my husband pick me up every day after announcing our relationship, I'd have done it sooner."     

"Haha! As if I'd believe that," Shui Xian rolled his eyes at her words since she couldn't see it anyway. "I made this offer before too but you didn't agree."     

"Why didn't I agree? Wasn't I thinking about you? By the time you come to pick me up, you'd be home by them. So, isn't it better to just go back home straight?"     

"I won't talk about this. I'm hanging up. You wrap up your work and come down."

"No, wait!" said Raelle. "I really can't leave. I have a meeting."     

"How long?"     

"An hour perhaps."     

"Then I'll come up and wait for you," Shui Xian resigned himself to his fate. "And don't you dare tell me to go back home first. I'm not leaving without you today."     

Raelle swallowed the words that she wanted to say because that was exactly what she was about to tell him. Instead, she said, "Well, do whatever you want."     

Shui Xian was more than happy to hear that. He didn't have a driver with him today because he was planning to take Raelle for a drive. Why would he bring a lightbulb to get between them? Well, now, he had to wait. But he didn't mind either. He locked the car and entered the office building.     

Surprisingly enough, Master Xian was a lot friendlier when he came to his wife's company. He always had an awe-inspiring attitude when facing his own employees but would become a lot more approachable when he appeared in Raelle's office. The reason was actually simple, he did nothing. It's just that in comparison to Raelle's cold air, he was already a lot more approachable to people. It wasn't his fault.     

"Oh, would you look at that? Who do we have here?"     

Shui Xian looked at Cloe and gave her a smile that wasn't really a smile as he said, "Hello to you too, Cloe!"     

"Aren't you busy? Why do you have time to linger around your wife all the time?"     

"It only means I have the will to see her so I find my way to do so."     

Cloe rolled her eyes at him, "Why are you here today? I was planning on going out with Chief."     

"What the hell? Isn't it enough that you entangle with her every day, now you even have to take my nights away? Go away! I won't let that happen!"     

"Master Xian is so stingy."     

"I always was. Especially when it came to my wife."     

"Don't you get tired of saying 'my wife'?"         

    

"Why would I? Who would get tired of that? I can't wait to say that in every sentence I speak."     

"Why do I think you're trying to annoy me?"     

"And what will I get out of that?" asked Shui Xian.     

"How would I know?"     

"I think you're getting influenced by your boyfriend who also thinks that I am always trying to piss him off. Do you guys think I have that much free time? Does my life revolve around you guys?"

"No, your life revolves around your wife," said Cloe truthfully.     

"That's true," agreed Shui Xian without any hesitation. "Sigh. I wish her life revolved around me too but then I think that if that were the case, would it still be my Raelle? No. I like her the way she is. It's enough for me to revolve around her like she is my sun." Seeing the disgusting expression on Cloe's face, he coughed, "No need to give me that stinky look. And by the way, don't you have to join the meeting?"     

"No," answered Cloe. "I have to sort out some documents here."     

"Are you asking me to not disturb you?" asked Shui Xian.     

"Something like that," replied Cloe. "Chief's office is over there. But I don't need to tell you that. You know the way very well. It's almost your second office by now. Even the employees in our company have started to wonder if Master Xian has become a new employee of our company."     

"There is no need for that sarcasm. I don't even come that often. This is my first time coming to pick up my wife after the engagement. You are talking like I'm always here. Don't I have to work too?"     

"How would I know if you really have work to do or not? Maybe you're squeezing your employees."     

"Hey! Not everything can be done by employees too. I should just leave before you give me high blood pressure."     

"It'll be old age giving you high blood pressure, not me!" came Cloe's voice from behind.     

"You're talking as if you're any younger than me! If I'm old, so are you! You're really losing all respect you showed me when we first met."     

"That was a different time. I saw you from afar and found you quite admirable. But the closer I got to you, the more I realized that..."     

"What? That I'm not admirable?"     

"No, it's just that personally, you're a unique character."     

"I'll take that as a compliment," said Shui Xian and left without waiting for her response.     

"It was actually meant to be a compliment," Cloe shook her head with a smile on her lips. But she wasn't lying either. Her view of Shui Xian had undergone an earth-shaking change over the time she knew him. She still admired him a lot but for very different reasons now. But she wasn't willing to tell him that so as to save his ego from getting overly inflated.
