Chapter 619: What Else?
“There is nothing that is not in want,” replied Lu Xingzhi. “I wanted to rest after moving the relief supplies around but the distribution team needed help, so I went. With our current mental state, we are not suited for high-risk tasks, so other tasks like distributing supplies, building tents and etc. are still manageable. Now that we’ve done most of it, I returned to rest. I will stay here for the night with you before leaving for the frontline tomorrow.”
“Can I refuse?” Jiang Yao asked seriously.
Lu Xingzhi looked at the lady sitting on the bed. “What do you think?”
He knew better than to let his wife and Lu Yuqing stay the night together. Who knew what the two women would talk about all night. Lu Yuqing might even talk bad things about him behind his back to Jiang Yao!
“Darling.” The more he thought of it, the more anxious he got. He threw the towel into the washbasin and called out to Jiang Yao, in a serious tone, “Let me tell you this, you are not allowed to cry! I will never let you cry! There is only one instance where you can cry in my presence!”
“What?” Jiang Yao was dumbfounded by Lu Xingzhi’s sudden outburst.
“You are allowed to cry only when begging for mercy when I give you my love. No exceptions!” Lu Xingzhi roared. “Do not listen to Sis’s nonsense!”
Jiang Yao’s mind jerked violently as if struck by lightning!
He overheard everything Lu Yuqing told her this afternoon!
What did he mean by begging for mercy?
She wanted nothing to do with such a bratty person!
Did it mean that he enjoyed her snivels and snobs when she was bullied by him on the bed?
“Don’t tell me that the reason you insisted on staying the night with me was to prevent Sis from pulling your leg further?” Jiang Yao was very suspicious that this was Lu Xingzhi’s actual objective.
She thought that he would deny it at first, however, he immediately admitted to it!
“What else? You thought I came to settle this morning’s unfinished business?” Lu Xingzhi started unbuckling his belt.
Jiang Yao shrieked!
“Lu Xingzhi! Lu Xingzhi!” She stood on the bed and pointed her shivering finger at the man stripping his pants in front of her. “Why are you removing your pants?”
Lu Xingzhi stopped his actions and looked at her in resignation. He explained, “I wanted to wipe my body.”
Seeing Jiang Yao’s doubtful expression, he added, “Darling, it has been a long time since I bathed. I don’t want to suffocate you with my stink!”
However much he wanted, he was not that desperate as to immediately jump on his wife and get started with their bed activities, at least not in this place.
Jiang Yao’s expression froze. She made a sound as an acknowledgment and looked at Lu Xingzhi removing every fabric off his lower body before picking the towel up and starting to wipe himself.
She wanted to speak but chose not to and returned to the bed with only one thing on her mind. She would not use that towel to wash her face!
Never!
After a prolonged silence, a puzzled Lu Xingzhi turned his head back only to see Jiang Yao lying on the bed and wrapped up in a blanket.
