Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 625 Blind

"Don't waste my time. Get to the point," said Shui Xian. "Why are you here? Is there something you want to say?"

"I do have something to say," Cui Xukun straightened up and cleared up his thoughts. "I know you aren't willing to forgive me for my mistakes."

Shui Xian's face hardened when he heard him bringing that topic up again. Was he supposed to forgive him? Why should he? They were such good friends and yet this good friend of his chose to run away just because they fell for the same girl? And that girl in the end chose him?

But Shui Xian knew that the same scenario often made even brothers turn against each other. They were just friends. And Cui Xukun had only wanted to distance himself because he felt like it'd be weird for the three of them if he was around.

Even if Shui Xian was able to understand all of that now that he thought about it carefully. He was still not able to accept Cui Xukun back into his life. He truly treated him like a brother and he wasn't there when Shui Xian really needed the support of a friend, a brother.

In fact, Shui Xian had to say that the one who was always around was still the introverted Zhai Yanjun. Even with his own life shrouded in gloom, he was always willing to come to Shui Xian whenever the latter needed him. Wasn't that the real friendship was all about? Even if they didn't talk for months, he knew if he called Zhai Yanjun would come.

"However, I don't want us to be so estranged," said Cui Xukun.

"You asked Cloe to arrange a meeting with me just to talk about this?" Shui Xian raised his brows at him inquisitively. It was actually difficult for him to believe that this was the real reason behind why Cui Xukun didn't even mind going through Cloe to reach out to him.

"Whatever I really came to say seems pointless right now that I'm sitting before you," told Cui Xukun honestly. "But since I'm here, I'd like to take this opportunity to say something to you. I know I wasn't acting like a very good friend when I just disappeared like that. I know my mistake. However, I don't want that to be the reason for us to become enemies either."

"I don't consider you an enemy," answered Shui Xian. "At most, I'll just take you as an acquaintance."

"But you won't take me as a friend?"

"Nope," said Shui Xian. "That train has long left the platform. Let's not even talk about it."

Ma Jin knocked on the door again and opened the door bringing with him an assistant who held a tray. She served the coffee to both of them and placed some snacks on the table before leaving respectfully.

Only when they left the office, did Shui Xian pick up his own cup of coffee while telling him, "But since you're here, I'll let you know that I don't have any hard feelings for you anymore."

"Huh?" Cui Xukun's hand which was about to touch the porcelain cup paused mid-air. He couldn't believe what he just heard. Was he hearing the right thing?

Looking at his confusion, Shui Xian sipped his coffee leisurely and only then elaborated, "I shouldn't even be holding so many hard feelings for so long. We were teenagers when it happened. We are both grown-ups now. We shouldn't be wasting so many feelings on each other. You should stop feeling guilty towards me and I'll stop blaming you for not being there. Fair enough, right?"

Cui Xukun was still dumbstruck and found his voice with difficulty to question, "Are you really the Xian I knew?"

"No," replied Shui Xian. "It's been years. Do you really expect to see the same Xian after so long? So many things have changed in the world in these years. Don't keep thinking about the past." He took a pause and added, "Since you're serious about Cloe and she happens to be a very important person to my wife, it's only right that I stop holding grudge against you. It'll make things difficult for Cloe and I won't like that."

"So, you're doing this for my girlfriend?" questioned Cui Xukun.

"If it'll make things difficult for Cloe, it'll affect her work efficiency which in turn will affect my wife's work," Shui Xian went on. "So, no. I am not doing it for your girlfriend. I'm doing it for my wife. Especially since my wife thinks that feelings like hatred are tiring. So, I'd rather love her more than find time to hate you instead."

Cui Xukun felt like he was just fed dog food. Why did he come here again?

"So from now, let's just be Shui Xian and Cui Xukun," added Shui Xian. "There is no need to sound so familiar with me. It's not needed."

"I'm actually questioning whether I'm familiar with you or not," was Cui Xukun's reply. He was honestly wondering if he knew this Shui Xian or not. And the answer was, no! Every single time he met Shui Xian since he came back, he always felt like he just didn't know this Shui Xian at all. And today was no different.

"When are you holding a wedding?" asked Cui Xukun out of nowhere.

Shui Xian frowned at that question, "Do I need to inform you?"

Cui Xukun, "What? You won't invite me?"

"I'll invite Cloe, you can tag along as her plus one," responded Shui Xian.

"Bastard!"

"You're no better!" said Shui Xian.

"Being a businessman really changed you," said Cui Xukun with a sigh. "When you're that bright and lively singer and songwriter, you're fun. Now, you're annoying."

"I don't need to impress you, so my goal is indeed to annoy you."

"How does your wife live with you?"

"Maybe I should also call Cloe to ask, what did she see in you? Did she go blind on that blind date to actually pick you up?"

"Hey! That's not fair!"

By now, Cui Xukun had long forgotten the reason why he actually came here and Shui Xian had long let go of the earlier anger he held towards Cui Xukun. He realized it was more fun in teasing Cui Xukun.

This way, they might not find their friendship back but there was hope to find a common ground to exist on. Since it was unavoidable that they'd run into each other more and more in the future.
