Kang Xiaoqiao's words stunned Lu Yichen.
When Lu Yichen was in the department, he was used to being the boss of whoever had a strong fist. He would never say anything that could be solved with a fist.
If one of his underlings was as difficult to deal with as Kang Xiaoqiao, he would be obedient after a beating. After a beating, he would know what was reasonable.
But today--
Kang Xiaoqiao actually said that he was bullying the weak...
Lu Yichen could not help but frown because after hearing Kang Xiaoqiao's words, he suddenly felt that he was really, cough cough, a little bit.
This was something that he usually did not notice. When Kang Xiaoqiao saw that Lu Yichen was frowning and not saying anything, she could not help but get even angrier and said, "What? Did I say something wrong?"
"Who are you looking at with a gloomy face? Are you trying to scare me? Let me tell you, Lu Yichen, I, Kang Xiaoqiao, am not scared."
"Hurry up and dodge. Don't block the way, you--"
Before Kang Xiaoqiao could say anything, Lu Yichen grabbed her hand. Kang Xiaoqiao immediately glared at him, only to see Lu Yichen asking with a thoughtful expression, "Am I usually like this?"
The corner of Kang Xiaoqiao's mouth twitched. She tugged at her hand twice but did not pull it out. She said angrily, "What do you think? Let go."
Lu Yichen stood rooted to the ground in a daze. "I won't let go."
Kang Xiaoqiao glared at him. "You--"
Before she could finish, Lu Yichen looked at Kang Xiaoqiao with a cold face and said seriously, "Ahem, that, Xiaoqiao, I'll try my best to be careful in the future. Don't be angry."
Kang Xiaoqiao's raised voice was choked back, but her breath was up, how could she take it back, so, cough, cough -- cough, cough, cough --
After a burst of crazy coughing sounds, Lu Yichen frowned and kept patting Kang Xiaoqiao's back.
After a few minutes, Kang Xiaoqiao coughed until her chest hurt. She slowly raised her head and looked at Lu Yichen. At this moment, he was still the same as before. The only expression on his face was one of worry.
"Do you have a cold? It's so cold. Hurry home. It's warm."
After saying that, she dragged Kang Xiaoqiao home. Kang Xiaoqiao was originally very angry, but after Lu Yichen's words, she couldn't bring herself to be angry. She felt so stifled.
She could only frown and bite her lower lip to argue with him. It was really too good for him. Hmph, no way. With just one sentence, he was able to appease her anger? She was really--
Then, she looked at Lu Yichen holding her hand. Although she was still very angry, why did her heart feel warm? Uh... Kang Xiaoqiao was a little conflicted...
Eh, a girl in deep love, her temper came and went quickly--
In fact, the source of the short-term conflict between Lu Yichen and Kang Xiaoqiao was just a small matter.
It was so small that it could not be a small matter. However, if it was not handled properly, it could cause a big matter, a big misunderstanding, and eventually accumulate into a lot. When it erupted, it would be like a big volcano, melting each other down.
However, the key to solving the problem was the attitude problem. How many family disputes, lovers, friends, and even all aspects of life. Sometimes, attitude determined everything.
It was just like the conflict between husband and wife. It was not a big deal. It was just a small matter. However, if the attitude toward the problem was good, not only would there be no arguments, but the relationship would be more harmonious.
For example, at this moment, Kang Xiaoqiao and Lu Yichen were at daggers drawn just now Kang Xiaoqiao had said a series of questions because she was angry. Her tone was not good. When someone was angry, how could they speak in a good tone?
If Lu Yichen was still stubborn and felt that Kang Xiaoqiao was unreasonable and continued to argue with Kang Xiaoqiao, then the two of them would face more arguments and endless mutual harm.
Obviously, Lu Yichen's heart was very upright. Moreover, he was broad-minded. He was someone who was serious, strict, and did not allow others to question him. Yet, he actually softened his words.
Although he did not apologize directly, it was not difficult to hear his apology from his words. It was also because of this that Kang Xiaoqiao, who was originally filled with anger, suddenly calmed down. Even if she had internal injuries, it would not be good to find fault with Lu Yichen because she could no longer stand up for herself. Moreover... Lu Yichen went forward to hold her hand. This physical contact directly resolved the previous conflict, and it could even be sweet to the heart.
The old man often said that taking a step back was nothing more than taking a step back.
Just like that, Lu Yichen held Kang Xiaoqiao's hand. Under the heavy snow, Kang Xiaoqiao reluctantly followed him home, but she did not play any tricks.
When they reached the courtyard, Kang Daqiao, who was still packing, looked at the two of them in surprise. Then she said, "Hey, little sister, why are you back? And, and brother-in-law--"
"Well, hurry up and enter the house. It's warm in the house--"
After saying that, she went up and took Kang Xiaoqiao's things. Her little face was slightly red, but she looked cheerful.
Lu Yichen reluctantly let go of Kang Xiaoqiao's little hand, but Kang Xiaoqiao was like a little swallow. Before Kang Daqiao got close, she ran over, hugged her, and shouted excitedly, "Big sister--"
Kang Daqiao looked at Kang Xiaoqiao, who was wrapped around her, and her smile did not diminish. However, she suddenly felt that there was something between the two of them, something warm, and asked in surprise, "Little sister, this is--"
Kang Xiaoqiao heard this and her little face was slightly red. Then, she whispered something to Kang Daqiao. In the end, Kang Daqiao immediately grabbed Kang Xiaoqiao and ran into the house as if she was facing a great enemy.
As she ran, she said, "You stinky girl, you're having your period. Aren't you more careful? It's freezing outside. What if you catch a cold?"
"You've been weak since you were young, and you've been soaked in the cold river water. I think you don't plan to have a child?"
"I've always heard the elderly say that this girl can't catch a cold, but look at you. You've only been married for a short while, and you've already run into the river in March. Now, it's snowing heavily outside, you..."
Kang Daqiao gave Kang Xiaoqiao a thunderous lecture. It could be seen that although Kang Daqiao was very angry, she was too concerned about Kang Xiaoqiao.
This sister was brought up by her since young. She couldn't bear to let her do any work, let alone catch a cold. She had to get Kang Xiaoqiao into any place that was warmer.
Kang Daqiao had warmed up Kang Xiaoqiao's bed for the past ten or so cold winters before Kang Xiaoqiao went to sleep. It could be said that Kang Daqiao had taken care of Kang Xiaoqiao meticulously.
As for Kang Xiaoqiao herself, she knew that girls were afraid of the cold, but she never treated her that well.
Kang Xiaoqiao was also afraid of her sister. She sat back down on the kang obediently. It was really hot, so hot that it entered people's hearts.
Of course, her sister's concern was even hotter. So she said to Kang Daqiao coquettishly, "Sister, have you eaten dinner? I'm so hungry--"
