After emptying her family's fortune, the pampered young lady went to join the army while heavil

Chapter 24: I didn't give up, and I didn't want a second marriage.

She firmly believes it!
Li Ruihua, who had been smiling, suddenly felt like crying for some reason.

You can't lose face in front of the younger generation.

He quickly stood up and said, "I'll go get the medicine."

"Uncle Li, slow down, the ground is slippery."

After seeing Li Ruihua off, Qiao Nian turned around and went back to the kang (a heated brick bed).

"Niannian, is your son-in-law feeling better?"

"Ah."

Qiao Nian glanced at Lu Xiao, who had his eyes closed, her gaze falling on his blood-stained arm. She sighed, turned around, and went out to fetch a basin of hot water.

He took a new towel from his storage space, wet it with hot water, wrung it out, and carefully wiped away the blood from the outside of his arm.

I didn't touch the wound where the powder was applied.

After she finished wiping, she washed the towel, took the water out to pour it out, and then brought in a basin to wipe Lu Xiao's face.

Just as she was about to reach out, the man opened his eyes.

He grabbed her wrist.

The man, who had just regained consciousness, showed no confusion in his eyes; on the contrary, they were filled with a terrifying murderous intent.

"Lu Xiao, what are you doing? Let go!"

The pain in her wrist made Qiao Nian want to punch the bastard in front of her to death.

Lu Xiao realized what was happening and quickly let go.

"Niannian..."

"You wipe it yourself, you bastard, no good deed goes unpunished."

Qiao Nian angrily threw the towel in his face.

Lu Xiao grasped the towel, only then realizing that Qiao Nian was going to wipe his face.

He felt a pang of regret, realizing he shouldn't have been so wary of her.

"Niannian, is your son-in-law awake? I can hear his voice."

Nian Yunci came in from outside.

Lu Xiao sat up halfway. "Mom, I'm sorry to have worried you and Dad."

"It's alright, it's alright. Your dad and I couldn't do anything. It was Niannian who took care of you, and Professor Li from next door did the acupuncture for you."

Nian Yunci explained.

Lu Xiao hummed in agreement and was about to get off the kang (heated brick bed).

Qiao Nian, "What are you doing? Don't you want your body anymore?"

"Near."

Before Lu Xiao could speak, Nian Yunci spoke up first, "Don't talk to your son-in-law like that. Husband and wife are the closest people in the world. Don't say hurtful things casually."

After saying that, Nian Yunci smiled at Lu Xiao again, "Son-in-law, don't be angry. Nian Nian hasn't changed yet; she's still stuck in the past..."

"mom!"

Qiao Nian interrupted Nian Yunci again.

I don't really want Lu Xiao to know about this.

How could Nian Yunci not know what her daughter was thinking?
She told her not to act childishly, "Your son-in-law has had it no easier than your father and I have over the years. If you have something to say, just talk to him nicely. Once you've talked it out, everything will be fine."

After saying that, she went out and closed the door behind her.

"Wait a minute, Mom."

As Qiao Nian spoke, she took out two bundles of noodles, each weighing about a pound, and six eggs in front of Lu Xiao.

"Let's eat this tonight, and cook plenty of noodles."

So that some people won't have enough to eat and then complain that they are mistreating them.

Nian Yunci smiled and agreed, taking the things out. "Mom is cooking. You talk nicely to your son-in-law. Remember, don't be childish."

Fearing that her daughter's temper tantrums might cause her son-in-law to misunderstand, Nian Yunci gave her extra instructions.

The door is closed.

Qiao Nian glanced at Lu Xiao sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed), then walked back.

"You just saw it?"

What did she see? She didn't explain, and Lu Xiao waited for her to explain.

"I'm not afraid to tell you, after I was pushed off a cliff by Qiao Si, I woke up and five years passed in one night. But I also unexpectedly obtained a warehouse that I could store things in, a warehouse that only I could see."

"what?"

Lu Xiao only heard what she said before, or rather, he only paid attention to what she said before.

"Qiao Si pushed you off the cliff? Are you hurt?"

The man grabbed her wrist, intending to examine it carefully.

That anxious look wasn't feigned.

Qiao Nian originally wanted to tease him, but seeing his nervous look and the large wound on his arm, her heart softened.

However, she wouldn't easily let him off the hook verbally.

"What are you doing? Let go, my wrist hurts."

The red mark from Lu Xiao's grip when he woke up is still visible on her slender, fair wrist. She has no intention of letting this go so easily.

Lu Xiao lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on her fair wrist. Seeing the red mark on it, he loosened his grip slightly.

"Does it hurt a lot? Let's go to the hospital."

Despite his wounds reopening and him having a high fever, he didn't remember to go to the hospital.

She noticed some red marks on her wrist, and I couldn't wait to take her to the hospital.

"Are you out of your mind?"

Qiao Nian glared at Lu Xiao and spoke in an annoyed tone.

She pulled her hand back, crossed her arms in front of her, and stared unfriendly at the man on the kang (a heated brick bed). "I'm asking you, what's going on between you and Chen Jing?"

"What Chen Jing?"

Lu Xiao frowned. "I'm not familiar with her. Isn't she your cousin?"

"She is indeed my cousin by blood. I'm asking you, have you ever thought about marrying her?"

She still couldn't get over what was in the book!
"Do you think I'm dead? You've been waiting for years and can't stand the loneliness anymore, so you want to be with Chen Jing?"

Lu Xiao's brows were so furrowed they could trap a fly. "Qiao Nian, is this how you think of me?"

"What do you mean I think that way about you? Just answer me honestly."

She not only made wild guesses, but also wouldn't allow the other party to refute them.

Very well, this is the unreasonable Qiao Niannian.

"I do not have."

Lu Xiao answered.

"there is nothing?"

Qiao Nian pushed her luck.

Lu Xiao looked up and met her fair and delicate face, her tender red lips making his mouth dry.

"I have no intention of keeping the marriage and I have no desire to remarry."

To control the surging emotions within him, he slightly averted his gaze, avoiding eye contact with her.

However, this action seemed to have stepped on Qiao Nian's tail.

"you are lying."

Lu Xiao?

Qiao Nian pointed her slender white finger at him and accused him.

"You never dare to look at me when you lie, not since you were a child."

"You said you didn't want to marry her, and that you could keep her, but I think your heart has already wandered far away."

"You've been wanting to find an opportunity to have an affair for a long time, haven't you?"

"Qiao Niannian!"

Enraged, Lu Xiao called out to her in a low voice, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her onto the kang (a heated brick bed).

Qiao Nian?

Before she could react, Lu Xiao, that bastard, took advantage of his strength and agility to pin her down.

She opened her mouth, about to call him shameless, but his lips pressed against hers.

Qiao Nian?

What are you doing, you scoundrel?

She was still angry, and he dared to bite her? And so quickly at that?
Do you really think a vicious dog will pounce on its prey?
Qiao Nian was furious.

She opened her mouth to bite his lip.

"Don't make trouble."

Lu Xiao slightly increased the distance between them to prevent her from biting.

Qiao Nian's eyes were misty with tears, her eyes were red at the corners, and she glared at him fiercely.

"I just want to bite you to death, is that not allowed?"

"No."

Lu Xiao's voice was hoarse, "My parents saw it, and it's hard to explain."

Qiao Nian?

Before I could figure it out, that scoundrel's lips were pressed against mine again.

Qiao Nian...

She opened her mouth, but ultimately couldn't bring herself to bite down...

Outside, separated by a wall.

Qiao Guowen glanced worriedly at his daughter and son-in-law's room, fearing they might start fighting.

Seeing her husband like this, Nian Yunci smiled and comforted him.

"Don't you know what kind of temper your son-in-law has? He's the most tolerant person in the world when it comes to Nian Nian."

Here it comes again! Another day of begging for updates, votes, and good reviews! My lovely readers, look at me, have pity on me!
