Lu Yichen sat in the room and waited for more than an hour. When he finally confirmed that Kang Xiaoqiao had gone out to hide, his expression immediately turned ugly.
This stinky girl said that she liked someone in front of him, and he was reasonable. He just broke a few glass bottles and she threw a tantrum at him.
The ancients truly did not deceive me. Only women and villains who were difficult to raise were neither inferior nor resentful.
Lu Yichen looked at the utensils that had now been cleaned and placed at his feet. Some of them even contained things. He glanced at the two clean dresses hanging near the window. Finally, he sighed. Forget it... He was not going to bring her back.
Since she wanted to throw a tantrum, he would let her throw a tantrum for a few days. It would be fine after a few days.
He was also tired this afternoon and laid on the bed. He originally thought that he could quickly fall asleep, but in the end, the fragrance left behind by his beloved on the bed made him toss and turn, unable to fall asleep.
In his daze, it was as if someone had entered the room and gently pushed him. Lu Yichen opened his blurred eyes and saw a woman wearing a white dress. Her black hair fell down, and her appearance could not be seen clearly. Her figure was hazy and filled with a graceful allure.
He did not know why he was unable to move. The woman slowly approached him, causing him to frown a few times, as if he wanted to say something. But for some reason, he could not even make a sound.
Suddenly, the woman raised her head. A pair of strange eyes like Kang Xiaoqiao's made him instantly sober up.
He suddenly sat up and quickly looked around. There was no woman in white or that wretched girl, Kang Xiaoqiao. The sky was already bright. He had just had a nightmare. Oh, no, it was just a wet dream.
Lu Yichen shook his head and frowned. He found himself thirsty and got up to drink some water.
...
The next morning, Kang Xiaoqiao and Xia Yunshu got up early to help in the kitchen. However, First Aunt Liu Fengxia was very considerate of Kang Xiaoqiao and smiled. "Why are you up so early today? Your hand is injured and there's nothing much you can do in the kitchen. You should go back and rest."
Kang Xiaoqiao smiled and said, "It's alright. It's already so good now. If I can't do anything else, I can still pick some vegetables."
Liu Fengxia liked Kang Xiaoqiao's diligence and understanding. She smiled and said, "Alright then. You and Yunshu can pick the vegetables here."
"Oh, right. Aren't the two of you planning to go out and play? How's the preparation going? I'll get the driver to send you."
Kang Xiaoqiao heard that and said, "No need, aunt. I'm going out with a good friend. She's the niece of the instructor of Yichen's squadron. She said to drive over and we'll go to the suburbs to pick some wild flowers to put in a vase."
Yesterday, Kang Xiaoqiao had told Liu Fengxia that she would bring her granddaughter out to play today, and she had agreed without much thought. However, after thinking about it this morning, it was better to send someone to follow her. That way, she would feel more at ease.
Now, after hearing Kang Xiaoqiao's words, she frowned and asked, "Is she the niece of Wang Zishan's family?"
Kang Xiaoqiao nodded. "Yes, it's her. A few days ago, her leg was injured and she was recuperating in the ministry. We got to know each other. That little girl hit it off with me. Now that I've come to the provincial capital, she insisted on bringing me out to play. I couldn't refuse, so I agreed."
Liu Fengxia nodded. "Okay, then go. Yunshu, listen to your aunt. Do you understand?"
Xia Yunshu didn't even dare to breathe heavily. Now that she heard her grandmother let her go, she immediately heaved a sigh of relief.
Soon, the men of the Xia family returned from their morning exercise. After breakfast, they left one by one. Lu Yichen was naturally one of them.
However, Kang Xiaoqiao was a little strange. There was something wrong with Lu Yichen today. He didn't look at her at all. Kang Xiaoqiao couldn't help but frown. Could it be that he was angry because she didn't return to her room yesterday?
Tsk, so petty. So what if he's angry? I'm still angry.
Therefore, Lu Yichen ignored her, and she couldn't be bothered with him. Both of them had their own thoughts, and the morning passed in a short time.
Not long after, a message came from the security office saying that someone was looking for her. Kang Xiaoqiao knew that it must be Cui Huihui, so she quickly carried her bag, pulled Xia Yunshu, and left with a wicker basket.
Today, Kang Xiaoqiao didn't wear a new dress. Because they were in the mountains, she wore her overalls. She wore a floral shirt, a pair of sports shoes, and a ponytail.
Xia Yunshu wore a set of long clothes and trousers. The two of them ran to the door happily like little swallows. Coincidentally, they were caught by a pair of sisters who had just entered the door not far away.
It was none other than the Chu Sisters. Chu Yunxia, the wife of Lu Yichen's captain, frowned and said, "Eh, isn't this the new daughter-in-law of the Lu family?"
When Chu Yunsha saw this, her pair of charming big eyes swept toward the courtyard door. Then, she tugged at her hair and said, "Sister, which one are you talking about? The one wearing long clothes and trousers? But, this is too young. She doesn't look like a seventeen-year-old girl. At most, she's only fourteen or fifteen years old."
"This Lu Yichen has such a strong taste. He can even lay his hands on such a young girl."
When Chu Yunxia heard that, she hit her shoulder hard and said, "How can you say that? Who said it's the long and small one? It's the other one."
"What?"
Chu Yunsha said in surprise, "The one wearing the overalls?"
Chu Yunxia nodded and said, "It's her. When I was at the family courtyard, I saw her from afar once. It's this dress."
Chu Yunsha frowned and said, "Sister, didn't you say that the new wife that Lu Yichen married is a rural girl?"
"Although I didn't see her appearance, judging from her clothes and her walking steps, she must be a confident and flamboyant girl. How could a village girl have such a temperament?"
Chu Yunxia glared at her and said, "Regardless of where a hero comes from, the daughters of the farmers also have Golden Phoenixes. Otherwise, if Lu Yichen was such a smart young man, why would he marry her if she didn't have any shining points?"
"It seems that the two of them are going out. We'll probably visit her in the afternoon."
Chu Yunsha pursed her lips, squinted her eyes, and looked seriously at Kang Xiaoqiao's back. "That's good too."
Kang Xiaoqiao, who was still running, suddenly stopped. Then, she slowly turned around and looked around. She could not help but frown when she did not see anyone.
Xia Yunshu did not understand and shouted in a daze, "Little aunt, what's wrong? Why did you suddenly stop?"
Kang Xiaoqiao frowned. "It seems like someone is watching us, but when we turned around, it was gone."
Xia Yunshu looked around as well. "There's no one. Aunty, I think your senses are wrong. Let's go, we're almost at the entrance."
Kang Xiaoqiao looked around again. Indeed, no one was watching her, but her senses were always accurate. However, there was nothing she could do if she could not find them. Cui Huihui was still waiting for them, so it was better to look for her first.
