Chapter 127: Want to Marry Xiaoxiao, Can You Take a Beating?
“I’m sorry!” Ye Chuxiao smiled apologetically.
“Don’t worry about it, Xiaoxiao,” Leng Yanfei asked with concern, “Are you feeling any better?”
“Much better!” Ye Chuxiao was telling the truth. She had broken out in a sweat and slept soundly through the night. The dizziness was gone, and her body had regained its vitality.
“Then wash up and come downstairs for breakfast,” Leng Yanfei instructed, “And let Uncle Lu check your pulse again.”
“Okay.” Ye Chuxiao agreed. Uncle Lu’s medicine was quite effective. Although it was a bit bitter, it worked instantly and had good results. Of course, good medicine tastes bitter.
Leng Yanfei and Lu Ziyi left Ye Chuxiao’s room, allowing her to wash up and change clothes.
As they exited, Leng Yanfei closed the door behind Xiaoxiao.
“Ziyi, hehe!” Leng Yanfei’s right hand rested on Lu Ziyi’s shoulder, and she smiled meaningfully, “Confess. Your mother has covered for you again, so you have to explain yourself clearly to me, right?”
“Explain what?” Lu Ziyi said dismissively. “Don’t you already know everything?”
Leng Yanfei suddenly put on a stern face: “You saw Xiaoxiao, you need to take responsibility!”
Lu Ziyi paused his steps and said with certainty, “I never thought Xiaoxiao would marry anyone else!”
“Oh, oh, oh!” Leng Yanfei looked at her son’s confident demeanor. “You’re just as arrogant as your father, thinking you’re so amazing!”
“Clearly,” Lu Ziyi’s gaze deepened, and the corners of his lips curved into a smile. “My father isn’t arrogant; he’s confident. The fact that he married you into the Lu Family and that I exist is the best proof! And I, too, have enough confidence to marry the girl I like!”
The feud between the Lu Family and the Leng Family was once irreconcilable. His father was able to resolve the animosity between the two families and marry his mother. Lu Ziyi absolutely refused to admit he was less capable than his father!
From Lin Chusheng’s brief remarks, Lu Ziyi guessed that Xiaoxiao’s background was not simple. However, he had fallen in love with her, and no matter how many difficulties he faced, he would not back down!
“Sigh…” Leng Yanfei chuckled with a hint of helplessness. How could she explain the grievances between Ziyi’s father and Xiaoxiao’s father to Ziyi?
Her husband, Lu Xuanyu, had told her not to reveal anything, and to let Ziyi and Xiaoxiao follow their natural course, determined by fate.
Leng Yanfei patted her son’s shoulder and said earnestly, “Ziyi, from now on, you must diligently practice martial arts every day. Don’t let your body become weak…”
“How could my body possibly be weak?”
“Don’t blame your mother for not reminding you. If you want to marry Xiaoxiao, you need to have good physical fitness and be able to take a beating! Practice more, okay!”
Lu Ziyi became very embarrassed. Why was his mother suddenly saying this to him? Was she doubting his capabilities as a man?
Just because he had seen Xiaoxiao’s body last night but had restrained himself, was his dear mother doubting his virility?
He was respecting Xiaoxiao, alright? Was he the kind of man who would force himself on someone?
“Your son’s physical fitness is excellent, Mother, don’t worry unnecessarily!” Lu Ziyi said with a tense expression, and returned to his room. “I’ll wash up before coming down.”
Leng Yanfei watched her son disappear unnaturally and suddenly realized something.
Had this brat misunderstood? She knew very well the capabilities of the men in the Lu family. Even she, who had practiced martial arts since childhood, sometimes couldn’t keep up. Why would she need to remind him to practice martial arts for strength?
That brat, I wanted you to practice martial arts more to withstand the beatings from your future father-in-law. He won’t easily marry Xiaoxiao off to you!
