Chapter 36 Shameless is shameless

Shi Xiaoai felt a headache.

She never thought that Cheng Yang could say such a thing to her.

But she really couldn't refuse it outright.

This man acted so majestic and imposing the entire day that she even forgot that not long ago, he had almost lost his life due to a serious injury.

She said that logically this person shouldn't have come back so early!

Shi Xiaoai pulled her hand out of Cheng Yang's arms, and before he could show a look of loss, she grabbed his clothes with both hands and pulled them up hard!

Cheng Yang was very thin, and the uniform didn't fit him well. The hem of his uniform, including the standard cotton-padded jacket underneath, was lifted up to his chest, exposing most of his chest and waist.

Shi Xiaoai's heart suddenly tightened when she saw this!

Cheng Yang's body was covered in gauze, covering all of his exposed skin. As if to prevent him from accidentally touching the wound while moving, the gauze was wrapped very thickly and tied with several tight knots.

But even so, the gauze wrapped on the outside has been worn out and has frayed edges in several places.

In addition, there were several light yellow wet marks on the gauze, which were obviously caused by wound exudate.

"How many days have you been on the train? Your wound hasn't healed yet, and you're running around? What's wrong with coming back two days late? Why are you in such a hurry?"

Shi Xiaoai was really anxious at this moment and couldn't help complaining.

No matter how the problem between her and Cheng Yang is resolved, after spending half a day together, she has to admit that he is a good person.

What's more, he is the father of two children and a war hero. If his wound gets infected because of this trip, Shi Xiaoai will feel uneasy.

She got out of bed, put on her shoes and went to see a doctor.

"I was anxious to come back and see you." Seeing that she was angry, Cheng Yang quickly grabbed her arm and answered quickly.

He looked up at her and said earnestly, "Xiao Ai, can you please not rush to chase me away?"

He held her hand tightly and said in a low voice, "You know everything about my family. From the day I went to the countryside, I was abandoned by my family. If even you don't want me now, I will never have a home again. I don't want to be homeless. I want to be with you."

Cheng Yang lowered his head and put it on Shi Xiaoai's side without saying another word.

Being held like this by him, the veins on Xiao Ai's forehead throbbed.

What do I know about your past?

I don't know anything! No one has ever told me!

She couldn't help but complain in her heart.

But feeling the heavy head on her waist, she couldn't say no.

After staring at his head for a while, Shi Xiaoai pushed him away.

She passed by the bedside and said casually, "Just sit there and don't move. I'll go find a doctor." Then she left in a hurry. Her back looked like she was running away.

Cheng Yang sat up straight and stared at the receding figure, and couldn't help rubbing his fingers.

It seemed as if he could still feel the warmth of his wife's body at this moment.

He knew that his behavior just now was really shameless. He was taking advantage of Xiao Ai's kindness and betting that she still had some sympathy for him.

If it were any other time, Cheng Yang himself would despise such behavior.

But now——

He is shameless, after all, his wife doesn’t want him anymore!

As long as he can stay, as long as he can be accepted by his wife again and as long as he can keep this family, he is willing to do anything.

In fact, Cheng Yang had thought about this situation before coming back.

He knew very well that, just as Xiao Ai said, even the best of relationships would be worn out after five years without any news.

What's more, their previous relationship was far from deep.

Cheng Yang had also imagined that if his wife really didn't want to live with him anymore after returning this time, or if she had already found someone she liked, then he would take the initiative to let go and would not stop her from finding happiness.

At the same time, she will be given certain compensation.

As for the child, if she was willing to give it to him to raise, Cheng Yang would do his best to be a good father. If she was unwilling, he would not do anything to force the mother and child to separate.

Cheng Yang has depended on his mother since childhood. He understands better than anyone how difficult it is for a young woman to live with a child.

What's more, Shi Xiaoai is raising twins, so the suffering she endures is doubled.

No matter what the reason is, I have wasted five years of her life, which is the best time in a woman's life. I should make any compensation.

This time when he came back, he specially brought back all the allowances and subsidies, hoping to have a good talk with his wife. It would be best if they could live together and live a good life in the future.

If she wanted a divorce, he would agree and leave all his money to her and the children.

Cheng Yang had really thought everything through clearly, and he felt that he could face any situation calmly.

But he never expected that all these ideas would be wiped out in just half a day.

He suddenly regretted it.

The moment he saw Xiao Ai and the child being bullied, and saw his once weak wife fighting desperately to protect the child, Cheng Yang's heart was knotted.

That feeling was even more painful than when the landmine fragments pierced my chest!

He knew then that there was no way he could let go.

He couldn't give up his wife and his child.

If he didn't take them under his protection and didn't protect them, Cheng Yang felt that he would never be able to live his life without a clear conscience.

He knew that Xiao Ai was resentful of him and no longer considered him her husband - thinking of this, Cheng Yang felt uncomfortable again.

But Cheng Yang felt that he could still try harder.

As a member of the Vanguard Battalion, he has never been afraid of any fortress, no matter how difficult it is to conquer; as a husband, he will do his best to win his wife's heart!

Shi Xiaoai came back with the doctor soon.

After seeing Cheng Yang's wound, even though the doctor knew he was a war hero, he still couldn't help but scold him a few words.

Through the conversation between the doctor and Cheng Yang, Shi Xiaoai learned that this person had taken a hard seat train for two days and three nights to return home even though his wound had not yet fully healed.

You can imagine how much suffering he endured during this period.

Shi Xiaoai was speechless for a while.

She could neither complain about Cheng Yang's eagerness to return home nor accuse him of not taking care of his body. She could only stand aside quietly and watch the doctor clean Cheng Yang's wound again and wrap his upper body like a dumpling again.

After the doctor left, Cheng Yang lowered his head and straightened his clothes.

Shi Xiaoai then walked to the table and silently picked up the bamboo basket. She turned around and asked, "Which restaurant did you buy lunch from? How much deposit did you pay?"

Seeing her like this, Cheng Yang quickly said, "Don't go out, it's cold outside. I'll return it later."

Shi Xiaoai rolled her eyes at him angrily: "If I go out and it's cold, will you not be cold when you go out? If you catch a cold again, do you want me to take care of three people?"

Cheng Yang paused, looked up at her, and smiled sheepishly.

"Okay, just stay here quietly. If you're tired, take a nap next to Mingrui. He knows you and won't make a fuss. Tell me the name of the restaurant right away. I have to go home and cook after I finish paying."

Listening to her complaints, Cheng Yang kept smiling, and he looked like he was listening to praise.

That silly look made Xiao Ai feel uncomfortable looking at him.

She was too lazy to say anything more to this person. She just felt that her luck was really bad and these bad things happened one after another.

But seeing that man trying to keep himself together but was obviously extremely tired, she really couldn't say those cold words anymore.
