784 Ego

Just sitting here doing nothing and having a pointless argument with his wife allowed Shui Xian to actually relax and feel comfortable. It was as if the shadows left on his mind from yesterday's happenings were slowly lifting up and he was able to look more clearly at how much warmth he currently was surrounded by.

"Hubby!"

"Don't even think about it," was Shui Xian's response even before he heard what she had to say.

"What? You don't even know what I want to say," she said.

"No, I'm very clear about your thoughts," he replied. 

"How is that possible? I might have given you a place in my heart to live but I definitely didn't allow you to peak into my head."

Shui Xian smiled as he said, "I'm your husband. Husband and wife are of one mind and heart. Of course, I'd know what's going on in your mind."

"Oh? Then tell me what did I want to say?" she asked.

"You want me to let you check up on your work," he replied.
