Chapter 60: Dishonesty
Lu Xiao complained that his arm hurt so much he couldn't even lift a water glass, so Nan Jiao went downstairs to ask Xiao Chen and the others to come upstairs and help him move his luggage. But when they arrived at his room, they found it was already empty.
As expected, Lu Xiao was already leisurely packing his luggage in Nan Jiao's room.
Xiao Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud: "As expected of Brother Lu, even with an injured arm, he's still so capable. I wanted to help, but it turns out there was no way I could do anything."
The others nodded in agreement.
Nan Jiao couldn't help but say, "Didn't you say your arm hurt? It's only been less than a minute, and you've already brought all your luggage over?"
"Luckily, I didn't have much luggage, so I could barely carry it..."
The fact that it would take at least ten seconds to walk up the stairs from the second floor, plus the time it would take to pack his things, suggests that he likely moved everything in one trip.
However, Nan Jiao's attention wasn't on his attempt to gain sympathy, but rather on her concern: "Didn't I say I would call someone to help carry you? What if your injuries get worse if you keep pushing yourself like this?"
In Nan Jiao's memory, Lu Xiao's arm had been injured many times. Although he had a strong ability to recover, the repeated injuries might leave him with some kind of chronic condition.
Just as fingers are to a pianist and the throat is to a singer, Lu Xiao's arm is just as important to him.
Seeing that they had nothing more to do, Xiao Chen and the others continued with their work, leaving only Nan Jiao and Lu Xiao behind.
"It feels so good to be cared for by you after so long... It shows that being injured has meaning..."
Nan Jiao couldn't help but curse, "Are you sick, Lu Xiao? If you abuse your body again, don't come to see me again."
Lu Xiao immediately apologized: "No, I was wrong, don't be angry, honey. I'm almost fully recovered; a 3S-level male's recovery ability is very strong..."
Seeing that Nan Jiao's complexion had not improved, he immediately promised, "From today onwards, no, from this moment on I will rest and recuperate peacefully and will no longer cause any trouble."
Nan Jiao's expression brightened after a moment, but then she wondered if her tone had been too harsh, and gave him a quick glance:
Am I being too harsh on you?
"No, not strict at all. I like being managed by my wife. If I could, I'd want to be tied to you for life. Wherever you go, I'll go; whatever you say, I'll listen to." He added, "I've been going online occasionally lately, and there's a saying that's quite interesting."
"What did you say?"
"It's not that I'm henpecked, it's just that my wife's decisions are too brilliant."
Nan Jiao blushed, feeling a little uncomfortable with his praise: "Am I really that brilliant?"
"have."
As expected, he became restless that night.
Nan Jiao was looking at the branch's accounts when Lu Xiao kept moving to her left and right, occasionally blowing a breath into her earlobe.
When he kissed her cheek, interrupting her work, Nan Jiao finally couldn't hold back any longer: "Lu Xiao, what are you trying to do?"
"How heartless of you! With such a handsome beastly husband like me right here, how can you even look at the ledgers? How can these ledgers compare to my handsomeness?"
He reached out and pulled Nan Jiao into his arms, his arm around her waist. His gaze was like thick ink, and the moment their noses touched, his deep voice was sexy and alluring.
"Take a closer look. How is the ledger as nice as mine? Hmm?"
His hot breath sprayed onto her face, carrying a hint of unbearable discomfort:
"Looking at the ledgers is so boring..."
