Although the two of them didn't move much, they still startled Xia Zijun, who had been paying attention to Kang Xiaoqiao. He frowned at Kang Xiaoqiao and said, "Sister-in-law, why are you drinking water instead of eating? The food doesn't suit your appetite?"
As soon as Xia Zijun said that, everyone looked at Kang Xiaoqiao. Although she looked normal, she scolded him in her heart. This was still Xia Zijun. What did he have against her?
He was everywhere. That was enough. However, his words saved Kang Xiaoqiao. Lu Yichen grabbed her hand and let her go.
Kang Xiaoqiao coughed awkwardly and put down the cup. She said softly, "Well, I can't eat. I don't know how grandma is. She doesn't want us to see her. I'm worried."
After saying that, she lowered her head, and Xia Zijun wished he could pat her on the back for a bowl of rice. Sure enough, everyone at the table fell silent, especially second uncle. He put down his chopsticks and said, "I'm full. Take your time to eat."
Then it was first uncle, third uncle, and the elders who left the table one by one. Xia Zijun's hand that was holding the chopsticks made a squeaking sound. Looking at Kang Xiaoqiao's eyes, he wished he could eat her.
How was this like a new wife? After being questioned like this, she had to make up excuses. Otherwise, wouldn't she be letting down their good intentions and preparing a table full of good wine and dishes for her? But she was so good...
Seeing that everyone had left, Kang Xiaoqiao sighed again. Then, she picked up the bowl and chopsticks and began to eat. Seeing this, Xia Zijun said angrily, "Didn't you say that you have no appetite? Why are you still eating so well?"
Seeing this, Kang Xiaoqiao held the bowl. She looked at him and said sincerely, "I have to eat more. This way, my body will recover faster and I don't have to worry about grandma. I've thought about it. I can't help her with her worries. Taking care of myself and not letting grandma worry is something that I can only do for grandma."
"Even if my appetite isn't good, I have to endure and eat more."
Pfft--
As soon as Kang Xiaoqiao said this, Xia Qingyi, who was sitting at the same table, laughed. Xia Yunshu also laughed. Even Xia Qingman, who had always been more virtuous and elegant, covered her mouth and laughed, not to mention elder cousin-in-law and the others.
They had never thought that Kang Xiaoqiao would be so interesting. It made Xia Zijun angry. At home, Xia Zijun was the old lady's favorite. Who wouldn't let him go? But Kang Xiaoqiao...
Even his eldest cousin, Xia Zihou, and the others pursed their lips and smiled. Lu Yichen's eyes flashed with a smile. At the same time, he said, "You're right to think this way. Then, eat more."
He even specially picked up some food for Kang Xiaoqiao. Xia Zijun was so angry that his face turned red. He slammed his chopsticks on the table and said, "Sharp-tongued. Bah... what do you mean by 'grandma thinks more'? I think you're just greedy--"
"I'm full--"
Then, he turned around and left. Everyone laughed out loud. This wasn't full, it was full from anger.
After this, everyone in the Xia family had a different view of Kang Xiaoqiao. They felt that Lu Yichen had an interesting wife. Very interesting.
Kang Xiaoqiao acted as if nothing had happened and continued to eat.
After lunch, Kang Xiaoqiao was just about to return to her bedroom when Lu Yichen stopped her. "Wait a moment."
Kang Xiaoqiao's back was facing Lu Yichen and she was grimacing. However, when she turned around, she was as dignified as she could be. "What's wrong? Is there something wrong? I haven't finished my things yet. If it wasn't for something urgent, I..."
Before she could finish, Lu Yichen grabbed her little hand and dragged her out. Kang Xiaoqiao widened her eyes and said, "Hey, hey, let go of me. Where are you taking me? Hey?"
Kang Xiaoqiao was pulled into the car by Lu Yichen. It was such a hot day and she didn't want to go out at all. She felt that it was too hot at home. What was this lunatic doing?
On the way, this guy didn't say a word. The car drove all the way until it stopped at a place. Kang Xiaoqiao looked up. Eh, the park?
Why did he bring her to the park?
Before Kang Xiaoqiao could react, Lu Yichen's cold voice sounded. "Get out of the car."
Kang Xiaoqiao was unhappy when she heard that. She pouted and said, "If you want me to get out of the car, then I have to get out of the car? Why should I listen to you?"
"It's such a hot day. It's better to stay at home and enjoy the cool air. What are you thinking by dragging me here to tour the garden?"
This time, it was Lu Yichen's turn to be depressed. Didn't this girl like him to bring her out to play? Yet, she was disgusted by it.
If it was anyone else, they would have explained a little. However, Lu Yichen wasn't anyone else. He was too lazy to waste his breath on her. He opened the car door, took a step forward, and pulled Kang Xiaoqiao down. Then, he pulled her towards the park.
Kang Xiaoqiao was so angry. She really had to give in to this blockhead.
In order to not look too embarrassed, Kang Xiaoqiao could only grit her teeth and quickly follow. The people around were instantly blinded by a handsome man and beautiful woman.
All of them stuck their heads out to look. Then, they began to discuss. They had never seen such a good-looking couple. It was a pity, a pity. It would have been nice if that man had smiled. It was just a little cold... But even if he was cold, he was still pleasing to the eyes.
Wherever the two of them passed, they shocked the eyes of a group of people. At the same time, a certain someone not far away also opened his eyes wide. He muttered softly, "Eh? Isn't that Lu Yichen? Why did he come to the park? And this person beside him? Could it be his new wife?"
"Heh, that's interesting."
...
At this moment, Kang Xiaoqiao was unusually depressed. No matter what, when someone was in a relationship, they would always be smiling. They were all happy and blissful, right? The two of them, on the other hand... This Lu Yichen was simply a demon. He had just passed by a little girl... She was so scared that she cried loudly.
Moreover, Lu Yichen's footsteps were too fast. Kang Xiaoqiao was panting behind him. She could not stand the hot weather anymore, so she stopped walking.
She tugged at her own hand forcefully and said, "Hey, Lu Yichen, what are you doing?"
"It's such a hot day. You're dragging me so fast. I'm about to die from the heat. Do you know how to fall in love? If you don't, can you learn well?"
"Which couple wants to go out on a date like this? I can't wait to walk all the way until the sky turns dark. Can you..."
As expected, Lu Yichen stopped walking. He turned around and saw sweat beads on Kang Xiaoqiao's forehead and nose. Her small face was slightly red, and she had a pair of big eyes and long eyelashes. Her eyes were crystal clear, and her eyes were filled with grief.
Lu Yichen could not help but be stunned. Er... he was a soldier, and it was common for him to walk fast. This was just his usual speed, and he did not speed up. However, Kang Xiaoqiao looked very tired.
However, in Lu Yichen's heart, his first thought was not to comfort his sweetheart, but to think that she could not do it. Her physical strength was too weak, and he needed to strengthen her training.
