"Wife, you do know what comes after this right?" he asked after a moment of extended silence which he spent trying to make sure he understood her meaning right and wasn't reading too much into it.
Raelle nodded, "To complete a marriage, you have to consummate it." When she put it like this, Shui Xian was yet again left with nothing to say. He was definitely right about her meaning.
"Wife, did you read the wrong book today?" he couldn't help asking curiously. "The way your eyes shimmers with innocence is making it difficult for me to really believe that you're telling me to continue."
Raelle gave him a look, "Hubby, I might come off as innocent but I'm not foolish." She took a pause to add, "The innocence you see is the reflection of my inexperience. Can you see that innocence in my eyes right now?"
Shui Xian had been looking into her eyes. He hadn't looked away for a while now and he could say it with certainty, "No."
"What do you see?" she inquired.
"Curiosity," he replied.
