Indulgent Husband and Sweet Wife - Chapter 7

Chapter 7: Lu Zhanke’s Secret

Lu raised his hand and touched her cheek gently, “What do you think?”

Ai stepped back at once. Having noticed her abruptness had made Lu embarrassed, she had to smile and said, “ I…I am going to help Anxin prepare dinner.”

She had thought she could avoid embarrassment by hiding in the kitchen, but only to find that she faced a new shock.

Yang Anxin said to her while cooking, “ You are newly-married, right? Are you going to make up for the wedding in the army? You just don’t know how many people are waiting for Lu’s good message. Now it’s time. Lu is the hottest man here. Handsome. Capable. Dozens of girls follow behind. Your arrival must make a lot of people pretty jealous.

Ai thought that must be a lie. How come he stayed unmarried yet since he was so popular? How come he didn’t marry until she came to sacrifice for family?

Ai smiled, “ No matter how outstanding he was, he still can’t equal Pei. He was still single while Pei married such a beautiful and competent wife and had a kid.

“ That’s because…” She stopped suddenly when she was about to say something. She opened the pot, “Ah. The soup is ready.”

Ai thought, since such a frank person was hesitated to talk about it, there must be some secrets.

Yang Anxin said, “Lu wasn’t too young to have a kid. Do you have a plan?”

Ai broke off the ginger into halves with a start. Why even she was talking about kids?”

Yang Anixin was excited, “You see. You even blush. Is it embarrassed? You are in the force and so young. It doesn’t take a long time if you two make a good job at night. When Pei and I were married, it was hard for us to stay in the force. His guard station often changed so we had to apply for relative visits. At that time, in order to get pregnant…”

She gave a shy smile at the moment and stopped the topic.

Ai had almost lowered her head into the sink. Such a sensitive topic is too much for her.

When they were in embarrassment, Lu came in. He said to Yang, “It’s OK to make two hot dishes. Pei took a lot of cooked food home.”

Yang Anxin thought to herself, she had already known Pei was out to buy food. But there must be other purpose for Lu to come in.

She glanced at Ai and then made sense. He must come for his newly-married wife. It was common to be stuck like glue after married.

Yang responded to him and said to Ai, “Changhuan, it’s alright here. You can have a rest outside. I will finish it.”

“OK.” Ai washed her hands and walked out following Lu.

Lu was in front of her but he stopped deliberately. Then he held her hand after she caught up with him.

“What are you doing?” Ai struggled immediately. She was even more awkward when talking about kids.

Lu held it tightly. He smiled but said firmly, “Don’t move!”

Ai was about to refute. A slim-eyed and round-faced man walked to them, speaking kindly, “You are Lu’s wife, right? So beautiful! Such a shame to marry this tough guy.”

There was no need to introduce. Ai had already known that the man must be Pei Mu, because Pei Weizhi was totally his copy.

It was not good to embarrass Lu when others were aside, so she didn’t reject Lu’s approach and responded with a smile, “Hi. Pei.”

Lu Zhanke also smiled, “Un-Huh, Pei. Are you jealous?”

Pei Mu burst into laughter, “Yeah! I am so jealous. It is so sweet to match an elder husband and young wife. You see, you couldn’t let go of her even for just a moment.”

Lu lowered his head and looked at Ai. There was something wired in his eyes.

Ai was confused. What did that mean?

“Pei. Where’s Lu Laosi? Why didn’t he come out?” there was another loud voice in the living room.

Pei Mu answered at once, “He is coming.”

The three walked toward the living room.

Lu whispered at Ai’s ears, “Notice my hint.”

Ai suddenly had a bad feeling and her sixth sense was goddamn correct.

There were two more people in the living room. One was sturdy and had dark skin, square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes with bright pupils. They were even brighter when he looked at others. This kind of people was frank and outspoken and didn’t know how to flatter and beat about the bush. He was easier to get along with but also easier to get hurt.

The other one was standing with back to her. She couldn’t see his face but it was obvious to see that he was thin and lanky.

The sturdy one was talking excitedly but stopped as they were walking to him. His eyes lingered on Ai and he snickered, “Lu’s wife is so pretty. Do you have any sisters in your family? Or cousins?”

A really straightforward person as she expected.
