Shui Xian scratched the chin, "Well, I can give it up if you want me to."

Raelle held his gaze, "Do you think that will make me happy?"

He shook his head honestly, "I'm certain you won't like me doing that."

"Then don't bother," said Raelle. She suddenly recalled something, "And what did you just say earlier? You're pursuing me? When did that happen?"

"The other day didn't ask for your permission?" retorted Shui Xian. "I've started pursuing you since then."

"Don't people pursue each other to reach the point of dating? But we are already married."
