Chapter 152 It's Your Own fault
Xu Nuo chuckled: "Sorry, it was a subconscious move."
Lu Chen's lips curled slightly: "I am your husband. If you don't hide in my arms, who else can you hide in?"
"You are the only one who can say good and bad things!" Xu Nuo glanced at him, "But, what you said is quite pleasant to hear."
There was a hint of smile in Lu Chen's eyes: "If you like to listen, I will say more."
The young couple returned home in the night, and the warmth in the house instantly dispelled the cold outside.
Xu Nuo took off his coat and gently shook off the snow on his body.
Lu Chen quickly put the mutton and vegetables into the kitchen and prepared dinner.
"Let me help you." Xu Nuo walked into the kitchen, rolled up his sleeves, and stood beside Lu Chen.
Her fingers gently touched the back of his hand, the action was natural and intimate.
Lu Chen turned his head to look at her with a smile in his eyes: "You should take a break. You were scared today."
Xu Nuo shook her head: "It's okay, I'll help you cut the vegetables." She picked up the knife and skillfully cut the potatoes into thin slices.
She has nimble fingers and delicate knife skills.
The two of them cooperated tacitly, and soon, a pot of steaming mutton hotpot was ready.
The table was filled with fresh vegetables, and the lamb slices were paper-thin, red and white, and full of fragrance.
"Come, try this." Lu Chen picked up a piece of boiled mutton, dipped it in the sauce, and handed it to Xu Nuo's mouth.
His movements were gentle and his eyes were focused, as if she was the only one left in the world at this moment.
Xu Nuo was stunned for a moment, then he smiled, opened his mouth and bit off the piece of mutton.
The meat was tender and the aroma of the sauce filled her mouth. She nodded with satisfaction: "Delicious!"
Lu Chen looked at her satisfied expression and felt a tenderness in his heart. He reached out and gently wiped the sauce from the corner of her mouth, his movements as gentle as if he was treating a treasure.
His fingers touched her skin, bringing a slight warmth that made Xu Nuo's heart beat faster involuntarily.
After dinner, the two cleaned up the table and sat on the sofa to rest.
It was still snowing outside, and although it wasn't warm inside the house, it wasn't cold either.
The mutton was warm, and Xu Nuo now leaned contentedly in Lu Chen's arms.
She was holding a book in her hand, biting a pen, and writing notes on it.
Occasionally she looked up and saw Lu Chen holding a book in his hand, his focused gaze fixed on the pages.
Xu Nuo liked this feeling very much: two people lived under the same roof but did not disturb each other and each did their own thing.
Time passed by minute by minute. After an unknown amount of time, Lu Chen put down the book.
Xu Nuo also rubbed his sore eyes and prepared to close his eyes to rest.
"You have translated so much?" Lu Chen was really scared by her.
He had read half of the book about war and weapons and couldn't read any further.
Xu Nuo said on his birthday that he would translate the second half for him.
Not long after that, they were both dispatched to the disaster relief site. After coming back, she was busy with work at the unit and publishing comic strips and drawing illustrations.
He thought the promised translation work had been put on hold, but when he looked today, most of the remaining part of the book had already been completed.
"When did you accomplish so much?" Lu Chen was surprised.
"In my spare time," Xu Nuo said, "I carry your book with me. I'll take a look at it when I have time, and then translate some of it. It's not tiring anyway."
"Why are you working so hard?" Lu Chen felt admiration for his young wife.
She is young and she makes very good use of and manages her time.
Whatever he wants to do, he will be able to do it well!
Seeing that she had so many side jobs, Lu Chen felt sorry for her hard work.
Xu Nuo smiled brightly and said, "Who made me have a husband who is ambitious? Since I have the ability to make a man ambitious, I must give him a push. Am I right?"
Lu Chen did not answer, but lowered his head and kissed her lips.
The kiss was gentle and affectionate, filled with compassion and love.
Xu Nuo closed her eyes, wrapped her arms around his neck, and responded to his kiss.
The two people's breathing gradually became rapid, and the temperature in the room seemed to rise as well.
Lu Chen's hand gently stroked her back, his movements were gentle but with a hint of dominance that could not be refused.
Xu Nuo's heartbeat was like a drum, and he seemed to be surrounded by his aura. He couldn't think and could only follow his rhythm...
On the other side, Li Cuiying had her wounds bandaged in the hospital and was taken home by He Kuan.
She sat on the sofa, her leg had several stitches on it and was wrapped in thick gauze.
Her eyes had already been rotten into walnuts due to crying, but she couldn't help sobbing.
"You've been crying all night." The more He Kuan looked at his sister-in-law who was always causing trouble, the more he disliked her. "If you hadn't provoked Xu Nuo, would you have been bitten by a dog? You deserve it!"
Li Cuiying glared at him and said sharply, "If Captain Lu hadn't thrown the meat at my feet, would I have been bitten by the dog?"
"You are still making excuses." He Kuan's tone was slightly angry. "Don't think we don't know what you and Er Zhuang and San Zhuang have planned! I didn't mention this when I was in a hurry to take you to the hospital on the way. Do you really think that your sister and I are fools?"
"I..." Li Cuiying was at a loss for words and couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.
"I just don't understand why you are so belligerent? First you picked a fight with Political Commissar Liao's sister, and now it's Captain Lu's wife's turn. What deep hatred could you have with them?" He Kuan paced back and forth in the room angrily.
Seeing that her husband was really angry, Li Hongying hurried to persuade him: "Don't be angry. It's not worth it to get hurt. Let me persuade her."
"You don't need to persuade me." Li Cuiying's face was swollen, her lips were pouted, and she was not convinced at all. "Why Xu Nuo and I can't get along, don't you understand, sister? This time she said bad things about me to Wu Yue, and I heard it."
"So you let the dog bite people? Do you have any sense of reason?" He Kuan was furious at her argument. "How many people in this world have never been badly spoken of? Are all those people going to let the dog bite people?"
"Brother-in-law, why are you so mean to me? I like Wu Yue and I want to marry him. Xu Nuo is saying bad things about me behind my back, which is to destroy my future marriage. How can I not be angry? She has already ruined my marriage once when we were in the village!!" Li Cuiying yelled at He Kuan at the top of her voice.
"Cuiying! Speak nicely to your brother-in-law!" Li Hongying couldn't stand it anymore and scolded her sister.
"Haha." He Kuan laughed twice. He was skeptical about what Li Cuiying said.
