Chapter 1044: How Do You Say It?
The lights in Jiang Yao’s room were on, so she was not asleep yet. When she heard Zhou Weiqi’s voice, she jumped out of bed in great surprise and ran to the living room. She saw Lu Xingzhi take off his military coat in the living room; she ran to hug him.
“Back off!” Lu Xingzhi pulled away before he pushed Jiang Yao back. “I just came in, and my body is icy. I’ll hug you later.”
As he spoke, Lu Xingzhi looked at Jiang Yao’s feet and cursed in a low voice, “Are you dumb? How many times have I told you to wear socks and slippers, and you’re still walking barefoot? Go back inside and put on your socks or slippers!”
“Why are you so fierce?” Jiang Yao pouted as she looked at her feet. After her shower, she did not remember to put on her socks; she had gone to bed directly after that. After Lu Xingzhi scolded her, she had no choice but to drag herself back to the bedroom.
Lu Xingzhi was three steps behind her. After she had entered the room, he was about to follow suit. However, he did not expect Jiang Yao would turn around and push him out the door without a single word. Then, she locked the door from the inside.
Zhou Weiqi was amused when he saw that. “Third Brother, you’ve angered Jiang Yao. You can sleep in the other guest room tonight.”
There was a hint of sarcasm in his words. After all, he was single, but they wanted to cuddle in front of him. That would hurt his heart significantly.
Lu Xingzhi glanced at Zhou Weiqi and then at his game console. He did not say anything; he waited at the door for a few seconds. Then, he knocked on the door and called out tentatively, “My dear...”
“One second!” Jiang Yao answered from inside the room.
Lu Xingzhi curled his lips and sat down on the sofa. Since she answered him, it meant that she was not angry. He knew that she could not get mad so easily.
He guessed that she must have wanted to keep something hidden, perhaps his birthday present.
Lu Xingzhi guessed that she might be hiding something inside, most likely to hide his birthday present.
It took Jiang Yao about five minutes to open the door and come out; that time, she remembered her socks and slippers. There was a faint smile on her face as she looked at Lu Xingzhi sitting on the sofa in the living room. She walked forward and sat down next to him with a pleasantly surprised look on her face. “Why are you here?”
“Well, he must have been trying to sleep, but he felt cold and lonely, so he’s here to see his wife.” Zhou Weiqi guessed as he continued to play his game.
“I went to Jindo City.” Lu Xingzhi ignored Zhou Weiqi, who spoke like he was rapping. He turned to Jiang Yao and said, “I came straight from the Chen family. They’ll solve that matter in two days.”
“What do you mean?” When Zhou Weiqi heard that, he became curious and stopped playing the game. He sat next to Lu Xingzhi, which meant the man was squeezed tightly between Jiang Yao and Zhou Weiqi. When he spoke, he could have touched Lu Xingzhi’s arm with his face.
Lu Xingzhi lowered his head and looked at Jiang Yao, then at Zhou Weiqi. In the end, he chose to kick Zhou Weiqi and said with disdain, “Move over. Don’t get so close to me.”
