"What's in that box?" questioned Raelle to Shui Xian in the car. She had already noticed that box as soon as had entered the car.
Shui Xian who was busy playing with her fingers paused and his eyes widened. He looked at the box and knocked on his head, "Aiyah! I forgot!" He hurriedly took the box from the front seat and passed it to her. "It's for you."
"Thank you," she said. She already knew that the box had something to do with her. And it was proven right. She calmly opened the box and took the things out. She held the things in her hand and looked at Shui Xian.
"Didn't I say I have a way to make us differentiate our phones?" Shui Xian took the phone case from her hand and then took her phone as well to help her put it on. After he was done, he looked satisfied when he looked at her phone and his own side by side.
That content and a slightly smug smile on his face didn't escape Raelle's eyes. She looked at the customized phone cases again. Her phone cover was white and you could see a girl in black standing beside a man in white. The most eye-catching detail was that crown on the girl's head and the same crown brooch on the guy's chest pocket.
On the other hand, his phone cover was the same design but different color combination. For instance, his phone cover was black and the girl figure on his case was dressed in red.
Apart from that, all the details were the same.

Shui Xian nodded his head, "Now we won't mix up our phones." If one asked Shui Xian why he chose such a design, his answer would be simple. The night she put on that crown design brooch on him was the night he finally declared to the whole world that she was his. And that was the night she said, 'I'm your Queen.'
To be very honest, he wanted to add 'Queen and King' respectively on both cases but he stopped himself from doing that. Just adding those crowns subtly was enough.
"You don't like it?" he asked cautiously this time when he noticed that she had not said anything.
Raelle shook her head, "I did not say that. It looks good."
Shui Xian heaved a sigh of relief once he heard that from her. Raelle didn't know what else to say. She had long realized that her dear husband's taste was quite peculiar. Or maybe he was fine. Something was wrong with her own taste.
When they reached their location, Shui Xian looked around with a frown and asked, "What are we doing here?"
"I believe people come to the equestrian club for horse riding," replied Raelle. "We couldn't possibly be here for dancing."
"We can go dancing if you want," said Shui Xian.
"Nope," replied Raelle. "I want to do some horse riding today." Raelle pointed in another direction and said, "There is D.W Resort over there. After this, we'll have our lunch there. Then I heard they have a golf course and even an archery ground. We can try whichever you want."
Shui Xian shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter. I am up for anything."
"Right, you'd love to do anything as long as you get to cling to me."
Shui Xian grinned at her, "Oh my! My wife has me all figured out now. I love it." He pinched her cheek lovingly and said, "Then wifey, how about you let me just cling to you?"
"What have you been doing until now?" asked Raelle.
"I've been keeping my distance like a gentleman," answered Shui Xian solemnly.
If anyone else would have heard that they'd have rolled their eyes at Shui Xian's answer. When had he been gentleman enough to keep a distance from Raelle? His dishonest hands could never keep a distance from her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBoth of them went to change into riding outfits and came to the horse stable to choose a horse. To be honest, Shui Xian knew nothing about horse breeds. Although aristocrats loved to have these hobbies, Shui Xian never managed to develop his interest in such hobbies. It's not that he couldn't ride a horse. Of course, he learned it. But he wasn't really a fan of horse riding either.
But seeing how serious Raelle was as she looked at all the horses, he couldn't help asking, "Baby, you like horse riding?"
Raelle stopped to look at him and said, "I think I do." Then she pointed at a black strong and majestic-looking horse saying, "I'll ride this one." She seemed to like this Friesian horse which was known for being graceful and having agile actions and just selected it. The horse was shiny black, powerfully muscled, had a thick mane and tail, and even had feathers on lower legs. "What about you?" she asked Shui Xian.
"I..." he didn't know how to answer that. He sheepishly scratched the back of his neck saying, "I'm not that familiar with horses. So, I'm fine with anything." He thought of something and added, "In fact, how about we just ride one horse?" His eyes were sparkling when he suggested that. In fact, the initial spark got brighter and brighter and turned into a full-blown flame. How could it not?
Riding solo must be exciting and fun?
But he was certain riding with his wife was even better! He had no doubt about it!
As if Raelle could read his thoughts, she just stared at him in silence for a minute before agreeing, "Okay. Let's do that."
"You agree?" he asked uncertainly and in confusion.
"Why wouldn't I agree?" she responded.
"Didn't you come here to enjoy your time riding horses?"
"No," she replied. "I came here with you to enjoy our time together."
Shui Xian was stumped and just gazed at her as she caressed the smooth skin of the black horse as she held the horse rein in her other hand.
