Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 893: Siblings Bonding

Raelle actually had a reason to come here. First, it was too hot outside. Second, she couldn't take Justin out of the hospital. Third, the view from Gou Jinjin's office was indeed the best. You could overlook the whole garden. Lush green grass, winding paths lined with beautiful flowers, tall trees. Everything looked exceptionally serene from here.         

    

And that's why from the moment he came here, Justin had his face stuck against the glass wall as he looked out at the garden.      

There was another reason that Raelle didn't mention. She walked up to Gou Jinjin's bookshelf and looked at the books. You see, this cousin of hers had very interesting books that Raelle hadn't read before. She noticed them the last time she was here and even borrowed a couple of books to read. But she was already done with those.     

Even though Gou Jinjin was a doctor, her office was filled with all kinds of books. Not just books on anatomy but also on the law. Surprisingly, she had a lot of books on law. And even on astronomy. Raelle picked up one on astronomy and sat down to read.     

"Raelle, that... Deputy Director is a very talkative person," commented Xiang Wai.     

"I think she has the potential of becoming your best of friends," Raelle shared her opinion without any hesitation.     

Xiang Wai frowned, "Why do you think so?"     

"Because you both have some common interests," said Raelle.      

Xiang Wai was silent for a moment before she said, "I don't really have a good experience with relatives called cousins. I better keep my distance."     

"Not every person is made from the same mold," was Raelle's response. "How long can you survive alone?"     

"I thought a person like you would like being alone," said Xiang Wai.     

"Wrong," said Raelle. "I have never been alone in my life. Someone had always been around me reminding me how human relations are important. I find socializing troublesome but I do my best where I have to. Because at the end of the day, the world works on relations. You can never survive alone. A lone wolf sounds mysterious  and mighty but to a pack of wolves, it's considered a rogue."     

"These strange analogies, I don't get them," said Xiang Wai. "By the way, don't talk about my and Yanjun's relationship in front of Ge."     

"You want to have another secret relationship?" asked Raelle.     

"No," said Xiang Wai. "I just... We are still in the initial phase of getting to know each other all over again. I don't want to jump to a conclusion. And I don't want anyone to assume anything either. First, I want our relationship to get on the right track before I'll tell everyone about it."     

"I don't agree with your approach but okay," agreed Raelle. "It's your privacy. I won't say anything if you won't want me to."     

"Thank you!"      

"You're welcome," replied Raelle.     

Xiang Weimin had gone to buy the desserts for everyone and just came back. He took out everyone's portion and set it on the coffee table. He even bought drinks for everyone.      

As he placed a slice of cheesecake and a slice of pumpkin spice cake in front of Xiang Wai, she almost squealed. But holding herself back, she hugged her brother, "Ge, you're the best! You treat me the best. You love me the best! I love you so much!"     

Xiang Weimin helplessly allowed her to flatter him and said, "It's just some desserts. Do you have to go that far?"     

"Justin, come here and try this," called out Raelle. "I think this has Oreos. Take a bite." Justin took a bite and smiled. "Is it delicious?" He nodded. "Good. Eat up then."     

Xiang Weimin looked at how attentive she was toward little Justin and found their interaction very interesting. For no other reason than he actually didn't expect Raelle to be so patient around kids. But it seemed, he was assumed wrong on his own. She was clearly very patient and also good with kids.     

He bit the inside of his lips when he realized that she lost her own child just recently. How good she would have been to her own kid when she was already this good to someone else's child? He shook of these depressing thoughts and put a tiramisu before Raelle.     

"I didn't know which one you like. But they say, you have no preferences so I just took this," he told her.     

"It's fine by me," said Raelle. As usual, she still had no opinions about which flavor she liked.         

    

"You should take it easy with work," spoke Xiang Weimin. "I saw the blueprints you sent. You're still in the hospital. I don't think there is any hurry."     

Raelle looked up at him, "We have a deadline. I don't want to take longer than that. When I can finish the work within the deadline why use my health as an excuse to use government resources for longer than necessary? Besides, sooner it is done, it's better."     

"Why? You're already tired of working with me?" he inquired with a heavy tone.     

"This has nothing to do with you," said Raelle. "I don't involve my personal life in professional. Besides, even if we're done with work together, you're still at home. It's not like I can run."     

Xiang Weimin smiled to himself as he also agreed with that. Indeed, she couldn't run from home. And they'd be seeing each other at home. Maybe he should also find a chance to join the Base closer to home. He'd be able to come back home everyday. With his position he didn't have to live in dormitory like Zhai Yanjun at all. So, he could be close to his sister.     

He suddenly thought of something and took the talisman from his picket and placed it before Raelle, "Fai asked me to deliver this to you. I was supposed to bring it days ago but my doctor postponed our appointment. So, I could only bring it here today."
