Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 1376  Don't Allow That

"Shui Xian!"

Shui Xian almost stumbled down the stairs when he heard the loud voice of his father. He was not expecting it at all. After all, his father had been playing the role of a gentle and understanding father for years now, so he almost forgot how he looked when he was in power.

"What happened?" asked Shui Xian as he came down to stand in front of his raging father. He did not even know where this rage was coming from. He tried to recall if he had done anything wrong these days but couldn't think of anything. He even refused to have a bachelor party because he had no faith in Cui Xukun and Zhai Yanjun. They both must be looking for chances to trip him up so he was very much against having a bachelor party. He didn't need one either. He wasn't a bachelor and he had already experienced a bachelor party once. He only insisted on a bachelorette party with Raelle because she really hadn't experienced anything like that and he did want her to have all the experiences like any other girl. "Have you signed a pre-nuptial with Raelle?" asked Shui Koshing as he stared at his son with dissatisfaction. "A what?" asked Shui Xian in shock. "A pre-nuptial? Why would I sign that?"

"Because you lost way too much when you had a divorce with Tang Hebe. You paid a heavy price for not signing a pre-nuptial. So, this time you wanted to cut your losses in case of unforeseen circumstances." n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Shui Xian looked so lost and confused listening to those words. He felt like he could understand what his father was saying but at the same time, it did not make any sense to him at all either. What the hell! The thought didn't even cross his mind. Where was this pe-nuptial coming from?

"Bà," started Shui Xian. "You need to first calm down and explain everything to me. Where is this talk even coming from? Besides, between Raelle and I, the one who needs to protect the assets should be my wife considering she has more assets than me. Also, we got married long ago. We are legally already married. Signing a pre-nuptial at this point won't make any sense. We are just making up for the missed ceremony. Legally, she already has half the rights over all of me and everything of mine."

Shui Koshing suddenly also realized that he made a scene without clarifying first. But it didn't matter, he couldn't lose his momentum at this time. Not in front of his son for sure. So, he held his stance and said, "What do you mean by half? Is this your sincerity towards your wife? And you claim to love her. Humph!"

Even Shui Xian could see now that his father was just trying to make this difficult for him because he didn't want to accept his loss. But he couldn't argue with this old father either and didn't wish to argue either. So, he chose to nod obediently, "You're right. All of me belongs to her. How can half be enough?"

"Exactly!" agreed Shui Koshing as if that's how it was supposed to be.

"Now, please tell me where did you hear about the pre-nuptial thing? Raelle and I never discussed that. Not even when we were marrying just out of our respect for our respective elders. And now, it's different. We both have feelings for each other. Why would we be discussing the matter of property?"

Shui Koshing's face hardened when he heard that. He didn't want to hide it from his son so he told him, "People from the clan called me to ask about your wedding since I didn't invite anyone from there. So, they started telling me how you seem to have learned your lesson after one stumble and are now walking cautiously. They said everyone knows about the pre-nuptial. And it's given after all, whether it's you or Raelle, you can't be joking about your respective assets."

"Believing their nonsense, you started doubting your own son?" asked Shui Xian. "I'm so disappointed in you, Bà."

Shui Koshing was already feeling ashamed. "How can you blame me? People had been hinting to me about the conspiracy behind your marriage with Raelle Xiang. They all say that for the sake of clinging to the power behind the Xiang family, you are even willing to lower your head in front of Raelle Xiang. Or else, why would you want to marry someone like her?"

"Which bastard is saying such things about my wife?" asked Shui Xian angrily. "What is wrong with her? And why can't I lower my head in front of my own wife? If I won't bow in front of her, am I waiting for an immortal to descend before lowering my head? Tsk. This is cleary them expressing grapes are sour. Since they can't have it, they want to make me feel bad for having it too."

"That's quite interesting."

Both Shui Koshing and Shui Xian froze when they heard that voice from behind them. They turned their head and looked at Raelle standing with her arms crossed in front of her chest. "It seems people have a lot of opinions about my marriage," said Raelle.

"Wife, you don't have to pay them any attention," Shui Xian instantly went to her side to tell her that she had nothing to even worry about.

"Do I look like I'm paying them any attention?" asked Raelle. "I already know what image I have. But I don't allow people to speculate about my husband's intentions or makeup stories about our marriage. I don't allow that." She looked at Shui Koshing, "Even if those people are considered 'family' I won't go easy on them."

Shui Koshing took in her seriousness and actually smiled. How could he not see that she was trying to protect Shui Xian in her own way? That was how she was. She didn't care about herself but had to care about Shui Xian in everything.
