Master's Untamed Wife

It was close to 10 o'clock by the time Shui Xian managed to arrive home. Although he left much earlier, he was stuck in a traffic for so long. He knew the plan to have dinner with his wife had already failed. But he still hoped to find her awake.

He took off his coat in the foyer and gave it to the attendant who was waiting upon him at the side. He changed into slippers as he asked, "Where is Bà? Is he asleep?"

"Umm... No," replied the maid. "Elder Master is with the Mistress."

Shui Xian raised his brows, "Where?"

The maid replied, "They are upstairs."

Shui Xian frowned but silently ascended the stairs. He was wondering why his father was awake at this time and was also with his wife. Just as he reached the top of the stairs, he could hear his father's voice...

"Do you have a gun?"

"I found an AWM."

He heard Raelle voice and grew curious as he hurried his steps.

"Woah! That's the best sniper rifle!" Shui Koshing said. "How come you always manage to pick up the best weapons?"

"Because I don't pick the low-quality ones," she replied candidly. She would never settle for the less in anything in her life!

"The circle is gonna close soon, let's run," said Shui Koshing.

"Okay!"

Shui Xian's presence wasn't even noticed by both his father or his wife. He had come to stand behind the couch they were sitting on but no one noticed his presence. How would they notice it when their attention had been on some sniper game on their mobiles?

Both Shui Koshing and Raelle were indeed playing a game right now. With their team of two, they seemed to be having quite some fun running on this ground of battle. Shui Xian was impressed to see how skilled Raelle seemed. He wasn't as surprised about his father since he knew his father had been trying to find anything and everything to cure his boredom lately.

He found it quite ironic though. Back in middle school, he was beaten by his father for playing games at the internet cafe. And now, at this age, he was doing the same. However, he couldn't even complain about it. He knew how lonely his father had been feeling.

Shui Koshing stood up in excitement, "We won! We won again! Hahaha!" He looked at Raelle saying, "I'm never picking a random teammate online ever again. None of them come close to our Elle's level. Everyone I found online had been a spicy chicken. Each spicier than the previous one."

Raelle stared at his face in confusion, "Spicy chicken? Bà, were you making a food delivery for spicy chicken?"

Shui Xian chuckled from behind hearing her question while Shui Koshing was just looking at her face as she looked back at him with those innocent eyes of hers. But finally noticing his son's presence, his gaze sharpened.

However, Shui Xian didn't notice as he leaned down to tell Raelle, "Spicy chicken is an internet slang for 'rubbish/trash'. Bà was trying to say he never met any good teammate online."

"Oh," she responded in understanding. There was a lot of internet slang in this country that she didn't understand yet. She wasn't an internet person, to begin with. But soon, her eyes focused on Shui Xian as she waved, "Hi, Hubby! Welcome home!"

Shui Xian was frozen for a moment when she greeted him like that before smiling softly in reply.

"Son," called out Shui Koshing with a gentle smile that didn't seem right to Shui Xian. "Come with me for a minute."

Shui Xian smiled at Raelle before following his father to a side. Shui Koshing extended his hand and someone placed a cane on his hand. He lifted it as if he was gonna hit Shui Xian.

"Bà, how can you hit me at this age?"

Shui Koshing wasn't really gonna hit anyway. So, he put the cane down as he said, "Even I'm ashamed to hit you at this age. Aren't you ashamed? Asking for a beating at this age?"

Shui Xian was really surprised, "You haven't hit me since middle school. Lately, you even act cautious while talking to me. What changed today?"

"Why are you so late?" questioned Shui Koshing.

"I got stuck in traffic," replied Shui Xian.

"That's the worst excuse ever!"

"That's not an excuse," said Shui Xian in his defense. "Anyway, what's up with this cane? You don't even need it for walking."

Shui Koshing looked at the cane he had gotten for himself a while ago and replied, "This is called future planning."

Shui Xian stared at his father, "What kind of future planning is this?"

"When you'll reach my age, you'll understand," said Shui Koshing. "And don't try to distract me. I'm really angry with you. My daughter has been waiting for you for so long. She didn't even have dinner yet because she wanted to have it with you."

Shui Xian was stunned to his place for a moment. "What?" He was in disbelief. He really thought that she'd have already had dinner by now. He never expected her to wait for him. He didn't even want her to wait for him for so long. "She didn't even have dinner yet and you're making her play games with you?"

Shui Koshing squinted his eyes at his son, "I was accompanying her while she waited for you. I didn't want her to get bored on her own."

"You're accompanying her or she was accompanying you?"

Shui Koshinng avoided his son's eyes. He definitely wasn't gonna tell his son that he had been very happy during this time. He really enjoyed his time with his daughter-in-law.

Shui Xian shook his head and said, "You should be sleeping right now. That's what your doctor said."

Shui Koshing sighed, "There you go again. Acting like I'm not your father but rather you're my father."

"Bà," Shui Xian called out.

"I'm going," said Shui Koshing and turned back to walk back to Raelle. "Elle, let's do it again some time. Have a good night!"

"Good night, Bà!" she said to him with a smile.
