Sweeter Than Honey

Shui Xian's face had come very close to Raelle but he suddenly pulled away. Even if his eyes were only on Raelle, he could still feel burning gazes directed towards them. He was still very sensitive to people's eyes. How could he not feel them?

"Forget it! I don't want to satisfy gossipmongers," tsked Shui Xian. Of course, he'd love to kiss his wife. He so wanted to do it! But... He didn't want to do it in front of all these people. "That just reminded me..." He leaned back in his chair as he placed their clasped hands on his leg and continued, "Thank you!"

"What are you thanking me for now?" she questioned. 

"For what you did today," he answered.

"What did I do?"

Shui Xian gave her a look, "Do you think I can't even understand you this much? If you schemed to get me here, there had to be a purpose behind it. You obviously wanted the world to see us together. It's like publicly acknowledging our relationship. And I'm happy for that."
