1394  We Can Go

In the end, Raelle and Shui Xian slept throughout the whole day and only woke up late at night when they felt a little hungry. Raelle felt groggy when she opened her heavy eyes and looked at the dark room. “What time is it?” she asked in a hoarse voice and coughed to clear her throat. Her lips were so dry right now as if she had been thirsty for a long time. Shui Xian was also stirred awake and stretched out his hand to find his phone. He squinted his eyes as the bright light of the phone made his eyes uncomfortable. When he looked at the time, he was silent for a while.

“What happened? What is the time?” rushed Raelle when she saw that he was just looking at the phone screen without responding.

“It seems to be 11 o’clock,” answered Shui Xian as Raelle hummed, he added, “It’s 11 o’clock at night. We seem to have slept for over 10 hours.”

“What?” Raelle was also surprised as she did not think that she’d be able to sleep for so long. She had never been hit by a jetlag like this before. She had even slept in the flight but she was still able to sleep for so long. What happened to her? “Is is that I missed my bed too much?”

Shui Xian chuckled at her words and sat up to turn on the lamp. He took off the blanket and went to pour a glass of hot water for Raelle from the kettle before bringing it to her. He blew on it to make the temperature right for drinking before bringing it to Raelle’s lips, “Have a sip. Your throat seems uncomfortable.”

Raelle didn’t refuse as her throat was indeed very uncomfortable right now. She took a sip but then coughed again a couple of times making Shui Xian worried. He put his hand on her forehead to feel her temperature. “You don’t seem to have a fever. Why are you coughing? Are you acclimated?”

“How is that possible?” denied Raelle without even thinking. How could she not be used to the weather of the place she grew up in? Did that even make sense? “I just slept for too long and my throat is dry. There is no other reason for the cough. Don’t start overthinking as always. You will get wrinkles if you keep worrying about me like this. I’m reminding you, that I love this face of yours. You better take of it for me!”

Shui Xian soothed her with a few words and coaxed her to drink some more hot water to make her throat feel better. Only after drinking the whole glass of water did Raelle feel like she was alive again.

“Do you want some more?” asked Shui Xian.

Raelle pursed her lips and nodded her head.

Shui Xian went to pour another glass of water for her and just like earlier, her fed her water with his own hands. She just had to obediently drink it while he’d take care of everything else. Saʀᴄh th NovlFre .t website on Ggl to access chapters of nvels early and in the highest quality.

Raelle touched her flat stomach which seemed to have sunk in even more and said, “I think so.”

“I’ll find you something to eat,” said Shui Xian as he rushed to wash his face and brush his teeth to freshen up. Finally, he felt more awake and turned to leave the room but once he did, he looked at the long and winding corridors lit with dim lamps. He slowly entered the room again and looked at Raelle in embarrassment.

Raelle’s lips curled up looking at him like this. How could she not understand what just happened? Wasn’t it already obvious why he came back? But she still waited for him to speak.

Shui Xian thought about it for a while before saying, “Um… Wife!”

“Hm?” Raelle was leisurely tying up her hair in a messy bun and putting on her slippers. “What is it?”

“I can’t seem to remember where the kitchen is.” Seeing the smile playing on Raelle’s lips, he added, “I haven’t even looked around the whole place yet. How will I remember the way? You can’t laugh at me about this.”

“I am not laughing at you,” replied Raelle as she walked to him and tip-toed to kiss his cheek saying, “I just think you are cute.”

As she wanted to pull away, Shui Xian hugged her waist and pressed his body against hers. His face leaned closer to hers but Raelle put her hand on his lips.

“No!”

Shui Xian pulled her hand down, “Why?”

“I didn’t brush yet,” reminded Raelle.

“I don’t mind.”

“I do!” she said. “Why do you forget that I do mind? Just wait here patiently for me to freshen up. I’ll lead the way for you.” Raelle took five minutes to get done with her business and came to his side saying, “Okay, I’m done! Let’s go!” She naturally held his hand and tried to pull him out but with a tug, he managed to pull her back into his arms and accurately dropped a devout kiss on her beautiful and juicy lips.

He looked so satisfied after accomplishing his mission and said, “Okay, now we can go.”

Raelle thought of something and said, “Forget it. All the staff must have gone to bed. It’s so late. Let me use the landline to connect to Uncle Eric. He’ll find the chef to make something for us.”

Shui Xian stopped her saying, “Why disturb their rest? Just lead me to the kitchen and I’ll make something for you. Okay?”

Raelle didn’t even think before agreeing, “Sounds good to me.” It had been a while since she had eaten the food made by Shui Xian so she didn’t mind troubling him. Besides, he always says that her demands were not a trouble to him.

Both of them went outside and Raelle led the way through the winding corridors.
