Chapter 890: Almost Became Your Wife
What did his mother say to Jiang Yao about Chen Lanying? Why did she tell his wife about Chen Lanying?
After he read the text message, Lu Xing Zhi could no longer sit still. He immediately took out his phone and dialed a number. The call beeped, but no one picked up his call. He thought, ‘Is my wife angry? Is that why she did not want to pick up the phone?’
With another beep, Lu Xingzhi’s heart continued to beat faster.
With the third beep, he wondered if he should call his home to check first?
Finally, at the fourth beep, someone had picked up the call.
He heard the sound of breathing from the other side of the call, and Lu Xingzhi’s heart skipped a beat. “My dear wife? Are you busy?”
Jiang Yao shook her phone at Wang Xian, a signal that she wanted to go out to receive the call. Then, she went out of the room and leaned against the wall in an empty corner.
As she listened to her husband’s voice, it sounded like he wanted to know what she was up to at that moment. However, she could sense the doubts in his tone and words.
Jiang Yao knew Lu Xingzhi’s tricks all too well. It was apparent that her text had scared him, but he could not figure out how she felt about it. So, he deliberately did not mention anything about that. He would ask her other questions; he wanted to see if she would answer him or if she would still talk to him as usual.
Jiang Yao leaned against the wall; her gloved hands were in the pockets of her down jacket. She clumsily held her phone to her ear. Just as she thought about her answer, Lu Xingzhi spoke again.
“Yaoyao, you texted me this morning to say that Mom had told you about Chen Lanying. What did she say to you?” Lu Xingzhi asked when Jiang Yao did not reply to him. However, he did not think it was too bad since she was still willing to pick up his call. It meant that she was not angry. However, she did not want to talk to him when she picked up his call, so perhaps she was a little mad.
Jiang Yao held back her laughter. She knew that her husband still tried to probe further.
“Mom told me about what had happened between you and Chen Lanying. She almost became your wife—”
Lu Xingzhi immediately interrupted Jiang Yao. “Nothing happened between Chen Lanying and me. Mom had forced me into a corner. I was in Jindo, and mom was at home. She kept nagging that she wanted to get married to carry on the family line. She wanted someone to accompany them as they are now older. You were still young at that time, and I didn’t think that I could marry you. Since mom said that Chen Lanying was a suitable candidate, I had agreed to her request. To be honest, I’ve only met that woman once. It was only for about half an hours, so I had nothing to do with her.”
It was not easy for Lu Xingzhi to finish so many words in one breath. Jiang Yao could tell that he was really anxious.
She snorted discreetly. She wanted him to feel anxious for one. Perhaps he would not dare to call her in the middle of the night to tell her that he had been injured like last time. She had been so worried that she almost cried in the middle of the night.
It was not that he did not want to report it, but it was not the time yet. There were also times when he was so anxious that he could not do anything because of the distance.
