The voices of discussion faded away gradually. Jiang Xia withdrew his gaze and put the passbook into Jiang Li's arms.
"Mom, keep the passbook. When Dad comes back, you can count the money in it with him." Jiang Xia said.
"Okay, Mom will remember it." Jiang Li nodded, put the passbook into her arms, turned around and saw Lu Yuanting, she was startled and hurried forward.
"Xiao Lu, you're a guest, how can I let you clean up these?" Jiang Li spoke, and hurriedly stepped forward to take the tools from Lu Yuanting's hands, with a bit of embarrassment and apology on his face.
"Xiao Lu, I originally wanted you to come to our house for a quick meal today, but in the end you ended up seeing these..."
Lu Yuanting took the cleaning tools in his hands. While Jiang Xia and Jiang Li were dealing with Old Lady Jiang and Second Aunt Jiang, he had almost finished cleaning the floor. He put his coat on a chair, wearing only a black vest. He had solid muscles and looked very wild and powerful.
However, he did the housework in a natural way, neatly and tidyly, half squatting to fix the table that Jiang Xia had just overturned and damaged.
"I'm used to it in the army." Lu Yuanting said, then stood up and looked at Jiang Xia and Jiang Li.
"Well...then I'll cook and the three of us will eat. You guys sit in the living room for a while and watch TV. Xia Xia, please entertain us." Seeing this, Jiang Li was no longer polite and refused. There were not many dishes on the table, all of which were simple vegetarian dishes. The meat dishes were still stewing in the kitchen, so it was just right to finish them and serve them.
After Jiang Li left, Jiang Xia and Lu Yuanting were the only ones left in the living room.
"Wipe your hands." Jiang Xia handed the towel to Lu Yuanting.
Lu Yuanting took the towel from Jiang Xia's hand. He wiped his hands while looking at Jiang Xia. He seldom smiled, and when he did smile, it seemed that there was a hint of coldness in his face that even ice and snow could not dispel. His brows were pressed against his eyes, and he looked fierce.
He stood in front of Jiang Xia. He was tall and the shadow he cast almost completely enveloped Jiang Xia.
"Does what you said a few days ago still count?" Lu Yuanting finally spoke in a deep voice.
Jiang Xia understood, however. It was that day in the hospital that she said that Lu Yuanting should be responsible for her.
Lu Yuanting didn't believe it at that time.
Jiang Xia pretended not to understand, smiled, and did not respond directly to Lu Yuanting.
"Just now I heard a neighbor say that it's not good for me to be too powerful. I'm aggressive and calculating, hard to control, and no man dares to marry me. Lu Yuanting, aren't you afraid that you can't control me?" Jiang Xia said.
When Lu Yuanting heard Jiang Xia's words, he slightly lowered his eyes and looked at Jiang Xia's face.
"Nowadays, lesbians hold up half the sky. Girls need to be more aggressive and strong so that they won't be bullied."
After a pause, Lu Yuanting looked into Jiang Xia's eyes seriously again and spoke word by word.
"A wife is to be loved, not manipulated."
Lu Yuanting clearly did nothing, but his eyes were fixed on her, like a wolf that, after smelling an opportunity, would move closer and closer until the prey in front of him had no way to retreat.
