He could see that his little wife was about to get angry.
Leng Lie said urgently, "I really have something to discuss with Chu Zheling, it's something else..."
Guan Yuxi still had a "I don't believe you" look on her face.
He explained helplessly, "You know Widow Li from the next village, right?"
She accused Chu Zheling of indecent assault, getting her pregnant but then refusing to take responsibility.
Wow, this is just in time.
Guan Yuxi let out a long "oh" but didn't say anything else.
Leng Lie lowered his head and kissed her on the cheek.
"Why aren't you happy?"
Guan Yuxi didn't even glance at him.
It wasn't that she was really angry.
She was just deliberately acting petty and spoiled in front of him, wanting him to coax her.
She will always remember the story that left the deepest impression on her:
A man gave a beggar a dollar every day, but one day he stopped giving it to him. The beggar confronted him and even tried to hit him.
Another person slapped the beggar every day, but occasionally refrained from doing so when he was in a good mood, and the beggar was extremely grateful to him.
No one can guarantee that love will never change.
Guan Yuxi wants to be someone who will never be resented.
With her throwing such a tantrum, Leng Lie couldn't concentrate on his work and had no choice but to sit next to her.
"What's wrong?"
Guan Yuxi slapped his hand away and said in a rough voice, "It's none of your business."
It's not like he's the only one who gets angry.
She will too.
Leng Lie took her hand and used it to slap his own face.
"If I've done anything wrong, just hit me."
Don't get yourself angry.
The man's voice contained helplessness, doubt, and even more so, tenderness.
"Slap, slap!"
Guan Yuxi glared at him and abruptly pulled her hand back.
His fair palms had turned completely red.
Leng Lie: "......"
He touched his face; he was unharmed.
"sorry."
This time, her face really turned red.
Seeing his embarrassed look, Guan Yuxi couldn't bear to stay angry with him any longer.
She chuckled. "Then tell me, what did you do wrong?"
Leng Lie: "I should hit myself, not use your hand to smash a piece of porcelain against a piece of rubble."
Guan Yuxi was both amused and exasperated. "Anything else?"
Leng Lie: "I shouldn't have taken off your socks in front of everyone and let others see your feet."
Guan Yuxi gritted her teeth, "What else?"
Leng Lie scratched his head awkwardly, "I really can't think of anything."
Guan Yuxi raised her hand and gave him a sharp rap on the head.
But he almost broke his knuckles.
"You must have practiced Iron Head Kung Fu!"
Leng Lie took her hand and breathed on it, "It doesn't hurt anymore."
I'll type it myself.
He punched himself hard on the forehead.
With a "bang".
Guan Yuxi felt a pang of pain just listening to him, and frowned as she looked at him, saying:
"If you knock yourself silly, will I have to support you for the rest of my life?"
Leng Lie reached out and smoothed her brow. "No, I know what I'm doing."
As long as you don't get angry, that's fine.
Guan Yuxi: "...Then tell me, why were you so angry when we first met?"
Do you think I'm having an affair with that scumbag, or do you think I'd let him hug me?
Leng Lie's expression became somewhat embarrassed after his secret thoughts were exposed.
But he didn't want to admit it, saying, "I'm not angry."
After thinking for a moment, he added, "I've always been like this. The villagers even say I can stop babies from crying at night."
If she didn't know him well enough, Guan Yuxi would have actually believed it.
She glanced at him dismissively. "Really?"
She drew out the last syllable of her sentence, and then stopped talking and looking at him.
Leng Lie knew that if he didn't tell the truth, he wouldn't get past this hurdle.
She could only grit her teeth and admit, "Xixi, I was wrong."
No matter how much he didn't want to admit it, he had to face the facts.
Seeing Guan Yuxi and Chu Zheling standing together, looking so handsome and beautiful, he was indeed jealous.
And he was so jealous that he wanted to kill Chu Zheling on the spot!
"What's wrong?"
Guan Yuxi, however, was not prepared to let him off easily.
If he gets jealous so easily, then she'll have to watch his expression every time she talks to any other man.
Could it even escalate into arguments, cold wars, fading feelings, or domestic violence?
Leng Lie slapped himself again, leaving a handprint on his face.
"Xixi, I'm sorry. Every time I see you standing with Chu Zheling, I feel like killing him."
I know this is wrong, but... I just can't control it.
Guan Yuxi pulled his hand and tugged at his ear. "I told you not to hurt yourself. Have you forgotten?"
Her affectionate and natural actions gradually calmed Leng Lie's emotions.
He sighed, "Xixi, I don't know why I have such a strong hostility towards Chu Zheling."
Please promise me you won't see him again, okay?
He looked at her helplessly.
Guan Yuxi gave him a helpless smile, "Of course... you can't."
Leng Lie's eyes darkened.
He knew then that his demands were excessive.
We all live in the same village, how can we avoid seeing each other?
Guan Yuxi kissed him on the cheek and whispered, "Unless you go and beat him up."
I warned him not to come looking for me again, or I would make it a fact that he was having an affair with Widow Li.
"Even if Widow Li is gone, there's Widow Wang, and Widow Zhang too."
Leng Lie looked at her in surprise.
Guan Yuxi, however, didn't take it to heart and continued, "He told him that if he didn't listen..."
