Master's Untamed Wife

Revenge was something Raelle never took seriously. Besides, even if Le Xiaye insulted her, Raelle didn't think she had to deal with Mayor Le for that. Perhaps, he really wasn't a good father who did a bad job at teaching his only daughter. But for that, she'd just send him books to help. Why bother ruining his career? 

In all honesty, she didn't deal with him because such a small fry really didn't deserve her attention. She'd be wasting too much of her time if she started caring about any Tom, Dick, and Harry.

Since Mayor Le couldn't just leave the event, he soon came back to join them but he was sweating. He continued to make his presence small to avoid offending anyone else at this table. He just wanted everyone on this table to forget all about him.

The last person to sit at their table was also a politician who greeted Old man Gou politely and gave a nod to Mayor Le. However, he didn't bother greeting anyone else since he always looked at businessmen with contempt. He didn't find them as respectable. He believed he was in a higher position than them and these businessmen should suck up to him instead.

However, neither Shui Xian nor Soren spared him another glance. As for Raelle, it was even less likely for her to pay attention to such a person.

This politician even brought a date with him. The woman had done exquisite makeup for this event and even more a dazzling attire. She was definitely looking for attention and she did receive it as well. After all, she was pretty and had the perfect curves. Her voluptuous figure gave her an advantage as well.

As her eyes fell on Shui Xian, her eyes lit up brightly. For some reason, she ended up sitting on the seat beside Shui Xian and her eyes continued to stare at Shui Xian's face blatantly.

Shui Xian felt uncomfortable with her gaze even when he wasn't paying any attention to her. He leaned closer to Raelle and said, "If you like anything later, let me know. I'll buy it for you."

Raelle's eyes were on the stage as the lights dimmed a little and the event started officially. The MC was welcoming the guests and Raelle listened attentively. She didn't think she had to remind Shui Xian that if she really want something, she could just get it. It was easier than saying it.

"Mr. Shui, it's such a surprise to see you here," said the woman sitting on Shui Xian's other side. When Shui Xian didn't even glance at her, she tried to become even bolder rather than feeling discouraged. "Mr. Shui, don't you remember me?"

"Am I supposed to?" retorted Shui Xian in a bored manner.

The woman pouted as she looked aggrievedly at him, "We met last year at Mr. Su's birthday party."

"I met a hundred other ladies that night as well," was Shui Xian's response. "Am I supposed to remember every single one of them?" He really didn't want to talk to this woman and neither did he want to create a scene right now. But this woman was really not getting a hint. 

Even though was clearly being sarcastic, it was as if she didn't get the hint of his displeasure at all. Or maybe she did, she just was thick-skinned and didn't really care.

It took her such an effort to enter this venue by hooking up with that middle-aged politician, how could she not take advantage of this opportunity? In the end, she was just a small-time actress. If she needed to go further in her career, she definitely needed the support of someone like Shui Xian.

"Hehehe..." she giggled as if he was joking with her. "Mr. Shui is so funny. You're right. How could you remember everyone? It was my mistake. I should introduce myself again."

"There is no need for that," responded Shui Xian impatiently. 

"Your Chief has no sense of crisis," whispered Soren to Cloe. Even from his chair, he could see what was going on with Shui Xian. He was actually amused to see Shui Xian's expressions. 

Cloe shrugged in response, "Crisis? There is no such crisis that the Chief can't take care of. Besides, who would feel crisis from this woman?"

"These women are the best at seducing men," Soren pointed out.

"If Master Xian really fell for such seduction then I'd have to re-evaluate him," said Cloe. She noticed how Raelle straightened up and her lips curled up, "Oh, it seems someone is about to re-evaluate her life."

"Huh?" Soren didn't really catch on to her meaning yet. But he was about to.

The sticky woman placed her hand on the table and slid it towards Shui Xian's hand as she sweetly called out, "Mr. Shui~" Her fingers were just about to touch his when... "AH!!"

Her scream was so loud that even the MC on the stage was startled. In the hall, everyone craned their necks to see what was going on at the front.

And what happened was simple. Raelle held a fork in her hand and had stabbed it... Well, no, she didn't really stab the woman's hand. Not yet. The fork was stabbed on the table. What made the woman scream was the fact that the prong of the fork was just an inch away from her fingers. Raelle had chosen to poke it right in the middle of her fingers.

"Oops, I missed," said Raelle in a bland tone as she looked at that woman. "But do you think I'll miss again?"

The woman's hand was trembling in fear as she sat there in a daze. As she looked up at Raelle, she felt like she was looking at a monster. Her words were clearly a warning that this time, that fork didn't hurt but next time, she'd definitely make it go right through her hand.. Just the thought of that made her shiver.
