When Shui Xian had co down, he had heard Raelle and Zhai Yanjun's conversation. And that blind date stuff reminded him of the very first ti he saw her. She was on a blind date even then which didn't end very well. Not only didn't end well, but it also left a bitter taste on his tongue even though he was just a bystander at that ti.
"Hi, Xian!"
Zhai Yanjun was the first person to notice Shui Xian who gave him a small nod in acknowledgnt. He ca to sit right beside his wife.
"Haven't seen you in a long ti," Shui Xian said to Zhai Yanjun.
Raelle pointed at Zhai Yanjun as she asked, "Hubby, is he your friend?"
Shui Xian looked at Zhai Yanjun and shook his head in reply, "Our grandfathers were friends. That friendship didn't continue for the later generations. Neither our fathers are friends nor are we." He turned his eyes towards Raelle and went on, "It's just because of our grandfathers that we know each other."
"I absolutely agree with that," said Zhai Yanjun. Then he turned to Shui Xian and went on, "Congratulations on getting married! May your love be modern enough to survive the ti and old-fashioned enough to last forever!" Shui Xian rolled his eyes ntally at that while he continued, "I feel like I should take so credit for this marriage. If I had shown up for that blind date, who knows whether you had this chance or not."
Shui Xian gave him a look, "You don't get any credit at all." Zhai Yanjun's brows arched up at Shui Xian's confident look while he went on, "Even if you had shown up back then, my wife would have kicked you out of her life cleanly." And that's sothing he was very sure about.
"Oh?" responded Zhai Yanjun.
"Hubby is right," Raelle agreed imdiately. "All of my blind dates were kicked out by . I'm an expert at breaking up even before the date could start." She noticed how Shui Xian was about to spread jam on the toast and added, "I want butter today."
Shui Xian turned his head towards her and asked, "Who said it's for you?" Raelle continued to look into his eyes and he sighed inwardly before saying, "It is for you. I'll go with butter."
Raelle looked satisfied with his reply and leaned back in her chair in a relaxed posture. It just took one day for her to get too comfortable with having her husband do such a thing for her. And yes, that's how spoiled she was and the credit for that went to Mu Chenyan.
"Ah-Yan," called out Shui Koshing when he noticed the shock on Zhai Yanjun's face at the interaction between Raelle and Shui Xian. "When are you getting married?"
Zhai Yanjun's eyes didn't move away from Shui Xian who was spreading butter on the toast for his wife and replied, "Will I have to do that after marriage?"
Shui Koshing chuckled softly, "Who knows? Maybe your wife ends up doing it for you."
Zhai Yanjun waved his hands saying, "I'll still pass."
"I guess your girlfriend is still not agreeing to marry you," said Shui Xian as he passed the toast in his hand to Raelle who took it silently.
Zhai Yanjun narrowed his eyes at Shui Xian and replied, "We broke up!"
Shui Xian nodded his head, "There is nothing new about that. It's neither the first ti you broke up with her nor it'd be the first ti if you both got back together. It's been going on for years now."
"I should have never told you about that," said Zhai Yanjun in a low voice. "But this ti, we are never ever getting back together! It's final!"
"You said the sa thing when you're drunk last ti," reminded Shui Xian without a fraction of change in his expressions.
"You also said you'd never get married again in your whole life at that ti," Zhai Yanjun shot back. "What do you have to say about that now?"
Shui Xian looked at Raelle who seed completely unconcerned about their conversation and shook his head at her. She was really focused solely on eating. "I only said it to make you feel better."
Zhai Yanjun stared at him and repeated, "Make feel better?" He scoffed, "Your exact words were, 'It's good that you broke up before it reached the stage of marriage. Trust , it'd have hurt more if after investing all your feelings, emotions, and ti, she'd still say everything you did for her was suffocating her.' Not only that, you even told to just date casually. There is no point in expecting too much from anyone."
Shui Xian licked his lips and feigned a cough as he answered, "Who told you to listen to , I was also drunk."
Zhai Yanjun looked at Raelle's nonchalant expressions as she told Shui Koshing, "Bà, we'll be going out for dinner together. So, we might co back late. Instead of having dinner alone, you should go over to Opa's place."
"I wouldn't want to bother, Uncle Tianyu," replied Shui Koshing.
"I think he'd be more than happy to have you around," said Raelle. "But I won't force you. It's still up to you. If you feel like it, you can go over any ti."
Since she was done with her breakfast already, she stood up to leave.
She said to Shui Xian, "I'll see you in the evening." He nodded in reply before she turned to Zhai Yanjun and said, "And the guy who flaked out on , it's good that I finally got to see your face. But I have an advice for you, next ti try showing up on a blind date and have the guts to say what you wrote in that letter yourself. That's the basic respect you can give to the other person who made ti for that appointnt."
Shui Xian held up his fist against his mouth to hide his smile. His wife really didn't go easy on anyone. She didn't forget to throw a jab at Zhai Yanjun even now for not showing up for that blind date which she wasn't even interested in herself.
She took the coat of the red pantsuit that she was wearing from the back of her chair before putting it on her white shirt. Her heels made a tik-tock sound as she left without looking back.
However, Zhai Yanjun was left staring at her receding back with an unreadable expression.
"What are you looking at?" asked Shui Xian.
"Your wife's face kinda reminds of soone," answered Zhai Yanjun honestly.
