Chapter 144 Sleeping with My Wife

Everyone held their breath, and then they heard a click, the sound of bones shifting.

Du Ruoxia released her grip, and Bao Mei's arm remained stiff, stretched out straight, and she dared not move.

"Your arm has been set. Now try to move it around and see if you still feel any pain."

Bao Mei obediently moved her arms, and then a bright smile appeared on her face.

"Sister, my arm doesn't hurt anymore, it really doesn't hurt at all!"

Bao Mei raised her hand and then lowered it, and indeed felt relaxed and comfortable.

Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Du Ruoxia, her little mouth opening and closing repeatedly as she thanked her.

"Thank you, sister. Thank you so much. Your medical skills are amazing. You even set my arm when I fell and hurt it on the stairs."

"My arm stopped hurting at that time, but I didn't expect to fall again later, and it hurt even more than before."

"Sister, I've been wanting to explain, but Mom keeps scolding me, and I don't dare to say a word. I'm sorry."

Bao Mei is already 6 years old, a little girl who is neither too big nor too small.

Her eyes were brimming with tears, and she looked at Du Ruoxia with bright, sparkling eyes.

Du Ruoxia patted her head and said with a smile.

"In the future, if you encounter something like this, you must speak up no matter what."

"Look at the mess you've made because of your fear! How much trouble have you caused everyone?"

Du Ruoxia gently advised Bao Mei, who nodded repeatedly with tears in her eyes.

"I understand, sister. I will try to be braver in the future."

"Well, it's so late, you should go back and rest. Kids won't grow tall if they stay up late."

Du Ruoxia patted Bao Mei on the shoulder, and Bao Mei nodded repeatedly with her lips pursed.

"Sister, you're so kind. I'll remember what you said."

Aunt Wu stood to the side, trying to interject several times, but her mouth opened and closed repeatedly, and in the end she couldn't say a word.

She acted unfairly, and will inevitably be criticized by everyone afterward.

She wanted to say something in her defense, but didn't know what to say.

She did something wrong, so she could only obediently accept it.

Just as everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Yang Zeyan's cold gaze swept over them.

Those who were caught in his gaze were so frightened that they held their breath.

It wasn't until Yang Zeyan opened the courtyard gate and led Du Ruoxia into the house in front of everyone that the situation changed.

Once he was completely out of sight, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Staff Officer Yang truly lived up to his name; a single glance or a single word from him could silence them like cicadas in winter.

You need a strong heart to eat their melons; it's best to eat less of them in the future, lest you accidentally scare yourself to death.

As soon as they went inside, the others scattered like birds and beasts, running away incredibly fast.

After all the onlookers had left, Aunt Wu clutched her heart, looking like she couldn't breathe.

Seeing her like this, Bao Mei quickly took a few steps back, afraid that she would be beaten if she angered her.

Wu's wife stared intently into Bao Mei's eyes, grinding her teeth incessantly.

She wanted to rush up and hit her several times, but in the end she didn't say anything.

After this incident, although she still lives in the family compound, she will definitely be someone that everyone keeps at a distance from in the future.

She lost face and will have to live a life of humiliation from now on.

The more Wu's sister-in-law thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, so she simply left Bao Mei behind and went on her own.

Bao Mei stood there, unsure whether she should chase after them or stay where she was.

She was afraid that her mother would beat her if she went over, and she felt a little lost.

Aunt Wu had walked quite a distance when she saw that Bao Mei hadn't followed yet, so she quickly turned around and took her hand.

Bao Mei flinched in fear, but was eventually forcibly pulled back by her.

Mrs. Wu was seething with anger, and she kept cursing as she walked.

"You damned brat, you didn't tell me you hurt your arm, and you even said in front of others that I was too fierce for you to tell me."

"When did I get angry? Which eye of yours saw me get angry? These days, whose child doesn't get a beating when they do something wrong? Do you think I'm the only one who hits their child?"

"I'm telling you, if you dare cause trouble outside again, I'll twist your head off! That'll teach you to talk nonsense! That'll teach you to embarrass me!"

As Wu's wife spoke, she grew angrier and angrier, and finally couldn't help but grab Bao Mei's ear.

Bao Mei screamed in pain, but she couldn't push her away and could only sob in frustration.

Sister-in-law Wu slapped him across the face and gave a fierce order.

"Shut up! If you dare cry again, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

Perhaps because she was too fierce, Bao Mei was so frightened that she shut her mouth and didn't dare to cry out.

Later, Yang Zeyan returned to his unit and heard that several wild wolves had been found in the mountains. Worried that the wolves might harm the nearby residents, Yang Zeyan led a team to search for them.

The family compound was quiet in the evening. Du Ruoxia opened the stove's damper, and a little while later, the charcoal fire started burning.

She rummaged through the bag again and finally found a packet of noodles.

A simple bowl of noodles with a poached egg makes for a very nice dinner.

She ate a simple bowl of noodles with great relish.

After finishing the meal, I didn't even leave the noodle soup behind, and only then did I finally feel a little full.

Du Ruoxia lay on the sofa and let out a satisfied burp. She closed her eyes and rested for a while.

At first it felt okay, but then it got colder and colder.

Du Ruoxia yawned, already feeling a bit sleepy. She didn't know when Yang Zeyan would be back, so maybe she shouldn't wait any longer.

With that thought in mind, Du Ruoxia went to wash up. She brushed her teeth, soaked her feet, and washed her body, immediately feeling much refreshed.

The main reason I don't shower every day is because the weather is too cold, and I can easily catch a cold if I'm not careful.

Du Ruoxia cherished her health and didn't want to go through all that trouble every day.

Just as Du Ruoxia finished packing and was getting ready to sleep, Yang Zeyan, who she had thought might not be able to come back that night, returned home.

"What about those wolves? Weren't you leading the team to look for them?"

“There are a few police dogs here, I will take them with me, I have more important things to do.”

Du Ruoxia frowned slightly, puzzled, and asked, "What important thing do you have to do?"

"Of course I'll sleep with my wife. Otherwise, the bed will be too cold, and what if she gets cold at night?"

Yang Zeyan held Du Ruoxia's hand, his lips slightly curved, his smile looking somewhat wicked.

Yang Zeyan took off his coat to wash up. Underneath his military overcoat, he wore only a white shirt, with a few buttons undone, revealing his strong and muscular physique.

Du Ruoxia swallowed hard. Fortunately, the man's eye disease hadn't been cured.

Otherwise, given his physique and stamina, he would probably be exhausted.

Just as Du Ruoxia was about to crawl into bed, Yang Zeyan handed her a hot water bottle.

"Take it, it's cold at night, don't get cold."

Du Ruoxia hugged the hot water bottle tightly and indeed felt much warmer.
