Jiang Xu felt a murderous aura.
Upon seeing that Jiang Shan pulled a broom, he immediately took a few steps back.
He yelled loudly, "Wait, what are you guys doing?
Didn't I do anything wrong?"
Chen Yue looked displeased, "Look at you, such an ungrateful child.
See how considerate Nuonuo is, she started knitting for us in such a short time.
You, on the other hand, haven't given us anything despite being so old."
Jiang Xu said, "What about the meals I deliver to you guys every day?"
"Oh, we forgot about that, haha," Chen Yue slapped her head, somewhat embarrassed.
Jiang Shan who had raised the broom scratched his head, "Then should I hit him or not?"
Chen Yue said, "Just hit him. It's our son after all, what's wrong with hitting him?
If not, wouldn't it damage your dignity as a father?"
"Wife, you got a point."
Jiang Shan nodded in agreement, and the broom came down.
Jiang Xu, "What the hell!"
He got beaten for no reason.
Feeling a tad upset.
He returned home.
He saw Jiang Xiaoyan snacking on sunflower seeds in the living room on the second floor.
Jiang Xu went over and gave her a good beating.
Ah, that felt much better.
True enough, the smile didn't disappear, but instead transferred from Jiang Xiaoyan's face to his.
Jiang Xiaoyan looked at Jiang Xu with tearful eyes, "Why did you hit me?"
Jiang Xu said, "Just reminding you, so you don't disturb me later tonight."
Jiang Xiaoyan was docile, "No, I promise."
Jiang Xu became alert instantly.
This woman, the more obedient she behaves, the greater the chance she is planning something bad.
He definitely needed to be on guard.
Jiang Xiaoyan suggested, "Would you come car shopping with me tomorrow?"
Jiang Xu nodded, "Sure."
If the company had a car, it would help with the company's image.
There weren't many employees. One car would be enough for future gatherings or dinners.
He returned to his room.
He checked the location of the door handle.
When he left in the morning, he placed a hair on the door handle.
If the door was opened forcefully, the hair would inevitably fall off.
The hair was still there, so Jiang Xiaoyan probably hadn't caused any trouble here.
Around ten o'clock.
Jiang Xu picked up his notebook and opened the door slightly.
Jiang Xiaoyan was in her room.
Jiang Xu closed the door gently, then went to his office on the first floor.
Yes, it was better to be cautious of her.
This place was also suitable for rest.
Around twelve o'clock.
The door to Jiang Xiaoyan's room opened.
She came out, sneaking around.
She walked to the door of Jiang Xu's bedroom with her hands behind her back.
After listening carefully, she crouched down.
She held firecrackers and a lighter in her hands.
She chuckled sinisterly.
Then she lighted a firecracker and threw it into the room through the gap under the door.
There was a loud bang!
Jiang Xiaoyan chuckled hehe.
She specifically bought the more expensive ones.
Then she immediately ran back to her room and locked the door.
Lying on her bed, all she could think about was how angry Jiang Xu must be.
Tomorrow, he will definitely give her another good beating.
"I really...enjoy being beaten by him..."
The next day, Jiang Xu woke up on time.
After typing two chapters in his notebook, he returned to the second floor.
He saw Jiang Xiaoyan in the living room, staring intently at Jiang Xu's room.
When she saw Jiang Xu coming up from the first floor, she jumped up immediately.
"When did you go down?"
Jiang Xu said, "I went downstairs at ten last night and slept in the office."
Jiang Xiaoyan clenched her little fists tight.
She miscalculated!
At one glance, Jiang Xu could tell from her expression that she was up to something mischievous.
He pushed the door open.
Almost exploded with anger when he saw what was inside.
A firecracker had inexplicably appeared in his room.
This devil of a woman was too much to bear.
If he had been in the room the night before.
A firecracker going off in the dead of night would have scared him witless.
With a face seething with rage, he stepped out of the room.
Jiang Xu said sternly, "Some things you shouldn't mess with; doing so could easily lead to accidents.
What if a fire was started?
Even without a fire, a firecracker exploding when someone's asleep late at night could startle someone into having a heart attack.
I hope there won't be a next time.
If there is, you should avoid showing your face around me."
Jiang Xiaoyan was older than him.
However, mentally, she was not particularly mature.
Jiang Xu felt obliged to correct some of her bad habits.
Jiang Xiaoyan's eyes reddened.
Jiang Xu was not joking around.
She felt as though she were being partially abandoned.
It was not easy to find Jiang Xu, and naturally, she did not want to experience such a thing again.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong." She got up.
She stood sideways, hands on the sofa, "You can hit me if you want."
Jiang Xu noted her sincere apology and his anger receded somewhat.
He dismissed her suggestion, "I'll forgive you this time, but there won't be a second chance if this happens again."
Jiang Xiaoyan insisted, "No, it's okay, you can hit me. I would feel better that way."
Jiang Xu shook his head, "There's no need, the important thing is that you understand your mistake.
Let's go, brush your teeth, wash your face, and then we'll head out to buy a car."
Jiang Xiaoyan became anxious immediately.
She stomped her foot, "No, you have to hit me. If you don't, I'll lose respect for you."
"Hmm?" Jiang Xu looked at her in surprise.
This little girl didn't have some weird fetish, did she?
Upon further thought, that seemed to be the case.
Jiang Xiaoyan might be purposely aggravating him to achieve that end.
Jiang Xu was stunned speechless.
Even he found her behavior abhorrent.
"You have five minutes to get yourself together, or else I'm leaving."
He issued this ultimatum then went to freshen up.
Jiang Xiaoyan displayed an expression of disappointment.
Her large beautiful eyes started to whirl around.
She was in deep thought, pondering other ways to make Jiang Xu mad.
After five minutes, Jiang Xiaoyan went downstairs.
Saturdays and Sundays were days off from work.
Jiang Xiaoyan sat in the back of the car, put on her helmet, and was about to wrap her arms around Jiang Xu's waist.
He slapped her hands away, "Have some respect, what kind of person do you take me for?"
Jiang Xiaoyan pouted, "Jiang Xu, I have discovered that you have a lot of shortcomings. You look old, you're not tall enough, and you're not handsome enough. You're too meticulous in everything you do, your hairstyle is not fashionable, and even your clothes are out of style. You smell bad, and you also have bad breath. No girl would like a boy like you, hehe."
Jiang Xu turned to look at her, "Are you sick?"
Jiang Xiaoyan retaliated, "Do you have any medicine? If you're unhappy about it, just hit me, hehe."
Jiang Xu understood then.
She was in the throes of a strange addiction.
She was uncomfortable if she didn't get hit.
That was also a kind of sickness, and it needed treatment.
With that, he revved the engine of his car, making a loud, roaring noise.
Jiang Xiaoyan gritted her teeth in exasperation.
Why was it that even after saying so many harsh things, Jiang Xu remained unaffected?
She felt like she had hundreds of ants crawling all over her body; it was incredibly uncomfortable.
Not until they reached the breakfast shop.
Jiang Xu noticed Jiang Xiaoyan was still sulking and refusing to get off the bike.
Unable to restrain himself, he smacked her on the head.
Only then did Jiang Xiaoyan break into a smile.
Yes, this was exactly the feeling she was yearning for.
