Chapter 10 Injured?
Seeing that she was about to be attracted by his beauty, Li Yiyi quickly pinched her palm secretly, and then said to him with a fake smile on her face, "It's so late, have you eaten yet? Do you want me to cook something for you?"
After saying this, Li Yiyi wanted to bite her tongue.
"Okay, thank you for your help. I'll go take a shower first." He nodded.
Li Yiyi let out a sigh of relief, resigned herself to her fate and turned to light a fire to cook noodles.
Today she finally learned how to make a fire, but she didn't expect that she would have to cook noodles for him just after she learned how to make a fire.
In the bathroom, Jiang Hong, who was taking a cold shower, was thinking about what had just happened with a look of deep doubt on his face.
He was surprised in many ways this time. First of all, the house was clean, and secondly, his wife actually took the initiative to cook for him.
Before he could figure it out, he took a bath.
Soon he changed into a white shirt and a pair of army green pants and went to the kitchen.
At this moment, a delicious smell was wafting from the kitchen.
When Li Yiyi turned around, she unexpectedly saw a man with half of his chest exposed walking towards her. With his handsome figure, strong physique, and well-developed muscles, one could tell at a glance that he was full of power.
When he stood in front of her, Li Yiyi immediately looked away and said to him angrily, "Why didn't you put on your clothes after taking a shower?"
Listening to her coquettish complaints, Jiang Hong looked down at the clothes he was wearing. Wasn't he wearing any?
"I'm sorry," he whispered.
Li Yiyi felt a little guilty when she heard his deep and magnetic voice. "It's okay. Remember to dress better next time and don't expose half of your chest."
She would have wild thoughts when she saw this, but of course she only dared to mutter this in her heart and didn't have the courage to say it in front of him.
"The noodles are ready, you can enjoy them. I'm going to go to bed first." She pointed to the bowl of steaming noodles on the dining table.
Jiang Hong looked at the noodles on the table and nodded slightly. When she turned around, he suddenly said, "Thank you."
Li Yiyi, who was walking, heard his words that sounded as sweet as a violin. She blushed and said to him without turning her head, "You're welcome. Please eat." After that, she immediately quickened her pace and left the kitchen.
Jiang Hong looked at her back as she disappeared into the night, his deep eyes slightly frowned. This time when he came back, the feeling he had about this daughter-in-law was getting more and more different.
In the past, when she saw him, she was like a mouse seeing a cat, and she would hide away from him. Although she seemed to be hiding from him this time as well, he could clearly feel that her hiding was different from before.
On the other side, Li Yiyi ran back to her room with a red face, locked the door, and then ran back to the bed and lay down. It was a cool evening, but she felt hot all over, and her cheeks were burning.
She touched her hot cheeks with both hands, and suddenly buried her face in the quilt with a look of annoyance.
Jiang Hong, who stayed in the kitchen, finished his noodles, washed the dishes, and returned to the door. When he reached out to push the door, it didn't open. He frowned slightly and pushed again, but the door was still the same.
He glanced at the closed door with a puzzled look. Did she lock the door?
After thinking about it, he stopped pushing and turned away, going to the utility room next door to spend the night.
Li Yiyi was woken up by her two children. The two siblings stood beside the bed in panic and pulled her arms hard, "Mom, mom, wake up quickly."
Li Yiyi opened her eyes in a daze. Last night, because of that man, she stayed in bed for a long time before falling asleep.
"What's wrong? Are you hungry?" She had just woken up and her voice sounded a little hoarse.
The two siblings shook their heads vigorously at the same time.
Jiang Yueyue pulled her arm anxiously, and said with her little mouth almost crying, "Mom, there are bad guys in our house."
Li Yiyi looked at Jiang Yueyue who was about to cry, and immediately got up from the bed and reached out to wipe the tears from her eyes. "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, mom is here."
After saying that, she immediately put on her shoes and let the two children pull her out of the room.
Under the guidance of the two children, Li Yiyi finally met the bad guy they were talking about.
Jiang Hong, who was chopping wood in the backyard, saw the sudden appearance of the mother and her two children. He immediately put down the axe in his hand and stared at the two children beside her with a nervous expression.
Li Yiyi was a little bit amused and helpless at this time, but at the same time she felt a little sorry for the brother and sister. He was obviously their father, but they thought he was a bad guy.
"Come here." She waved at the dazed Jiang Hong.
Jiang Hong was worried about scaring the two children, so he had to slowly walk up to the mother and her two children.
Li Yiyi sighed and squatted down to introduce them to the siblings, "Yueyue, Xiaobao, let me introduce you, this is your dad. You have always missed your dad, and now he is back."
Jiang Hong opened his mouth and called out the names of the siblings in a somewhat stiff voice, "Yueyue, Xiaobao, I'm Dad, I'm back."
When he reached out to hug them, his hands reached out to embrace nothing. The two siblings hid behind their mother in fear.
Jiang Hong withdrew his extended hand with a bit of disappointment.
Li Yiyi felt sorry for him and said to him kindly, "Don't blame them. You haven't been back for so many years, and they have no impression of you. But it will be fine soon. Play with them more, and the affection between father and son and daughter will return soon."
Jiang Hong hummed softly, and suddenly looked up at her, "Thank you for your hard work."
When he suddenly thanked her, Li Yiyi didn't know how to respond. Could she tell him that she was also a scapegoat?
Seeing that she didn't respond, Jiang Hong thought that she was resentful of him, so he continued, "I have made another great contribution recently, and my position will be promoted and my salary will be higher. I will send it back to you when the time comes. In addition, will you really not consider joining the army?"
When Li Yiyi heard what he said, she remembered a problem she had just discovered. It was too dark last night and she couldn't see his face clearly. But now it was daytime and she finally saw clearly that his face was abnormally pale.
This is obviously the bloody color that only an injured person would have.
"Are you hurt?" she asked bluntly.
Jiang Hong was interrupted. When he heard her question, his expression froze. After a long time, he replied, "Yes, I got a little hurt, but it's not serious."
Seeing that he didn't seem to want to talk about this matter, Li Yiyi wisely chose not to ask any further questions.
"Please help me look after the brother and sister first. I'm going to make breakfast." Seeing that the atmosphere had become cold again, Li Yiyi found an excuse to leave.
She was afraid that if she continued to stay here, this boring man would suffocate her.
