“Of course, I trust you! Nonetheless, I still have to punish you. If not, you might joke about it again!” Apparently, she could not even joke about the matter! He was just so domineering!
Besides, he was still jealous! His nickname as a ‘jealous lover’ was never just a rumor!
“No, I won’t!” Ye Qiao assured him.
“It’s too late! You have to be punished for your mistake! Tell me honestly, when did you learn how how to fight? What have you learned over the past year?” Her company was so successful, and she could fight 5 people at once! How much of her progress did he miss this year?!
‘Ah! He finally changed the topic?!’ Ye Qiao let out a sigh of relief!
“Xiao! I just learned it for fun. I went to a self-defense class! I was scared that I would miss you too much if I had free time, so I went to learn Taekwondo. I’m a black belt now! I even learned kickboxing. Even my coach can’t fight me now! The nunchaku you saw was just a trick I learned for fun!” She answered quickly, not forgetting to flatter him.
She performed a few tricks while talking as she was afraid that he would become suspicious of her and find out about Lu Xiaogun and her second chance at life!
“Not bad, my girl. What is there that you can’t do, hm?” Lu Beixiao smiled and squinted at her.
“I want to learn archery!” Ye Qiao answered loudly. It was the only unfinished task from Lu Xiaogun.
“Now is not the right time to talk about this. We have something else to do first!” Lu Beixiao lifted her and charged toward the master bedroom.
The cries of a girl in the main house agitated the retired military dog. As a result, Lightning kept barking in the dog house.
Lightning was a purebred German Shepherd with a powerful figure and a black coat. This species was also called German Black Back.
“Lightning! Hush! Don’t bark! It’s my daddy punishing my mummy!” Lu Xiaogun said seriously.
Hearing the little boy’s voice, Lightning calmed down. Then, it slanted its head and looked towards the utility pole as though it was asking, “Are you Beixiao’s son?”
Lu Xiaogun answered, “Yes! My name is Lu Xiaogun! You can call me Master Gun!”
Lightning continued, “Beixiao is my brother; you should call me uncle.”
Lu Xiaogun was speechless.
“Lightning! Let me bring you out to play!”
“The main gate is locked. I can’t go out!” Lightning said to Lu Xiaogun as it looked up at the utility pole.
Lightning could not see Lu Xiaogun, but it could feel his magnetic field and hear his voice.
Perhaps, this was the difference between animals and humans.
“Master Gun has the solution!” Lu Xiaogun said. Although Lightning was retired, it was still fit. It sprinted and leaped over the gate of the dog house. It then sprinted from the backyard to the front main gate. At that very moment, the scarlet gates opened automatically, and Lightning ran out happily.
Lu Xiaogun brought Lightning around the streets. It had been a long time since Lightning last ran so freely.
Boohoo…
She must have died again!
She could hear the sound of water flowing in her ear, so she must have been reborn again!
If only she could exchange her body with Beixiao so that he could have a taste of this feeling!
Ye Qiao wept without tears.
Beixiao carried Ye Qiao to the dining hall, put her down, and then went to the kitchen.
After he left the main house, Ye Qiao ran to the living room and took her cell phone from her backpack. She must escape!
“Ye Qiao, I answered grandaunt’s call for you. I told her that you’re not going back tonight because you have to stay overtime at the office. You can stay with daddy tonight.” Lu Xiaogun said.
Ye Qiao almost vomited blood!
“Lu Xiaogun! Are you really my son?! How can you do this to your mom?! Don’t you know that I will die if I stay with your dad?!” Ye Qiao panted as she continued, “If you don’t help me, I will name you Lu Xiaogun again when you are re-born!”
“Daddy wouldn’t let his son have such a stupid name! His son must have a cool name!” Lu Xiaogun said confidently.
To him, his daddy was the best person in the entire universe!
Ye Qiao was speechless. However, she regained her composure quickly. “Lu Xiaogun, your daddy only loves me! He loves me the most, so he would listen to me! If I say I want to name you Lu Xiaogun, he would surely say yes! Hmph! Instead of fawning over your daddy, you might as well try to get on my good side!”
Lu Xiaogun did not know what to say for a moment.
“Hmph! You’re finally speechless, kiddo? I am confident about this! After your re-birth, your daddy and I would be showing off our love for each other in front of you every day!”
Lu Xiaogun grew furious! It was true that daddy loved Ye Qiao the most!
“So, my baby must be a good boy. Why don’t you help mommy escape?” Ye Qiao continued to convince him.
“No! You can never escape my daddy! You’ll get an even worse punishment if he catches you!” Lu Xiaogun said angrily.
Ye Qiao froze.
“You little kiddo! Just you wait!”
Lu Xiaogun did not answer. Instead, he left to play with Lightning!
On the shiny redwood dining table, there were all sorts of dishes. Her favorite – roasted duck and chicken gizzard – were probably there for her to recover her strength. Sadly, Ye Qiao did not want to eat them!
“Why are you not eating? Eat more! All the chicken gizzard is for you!” Beixiao was wearing a singlet and cargo shorts. He looked at her lovingly as he still remembered her favorite food.
The porridge was steaming hot; he heated it by himself.
“I am not hungry…”
“Come here!” He lowered his voice.
“Why? I will eat it!” Ye Qiao said quickly, afraid that he was going to do something to her!
“I said, come here!” He ordered.
Ye Qiao stood up immediately and walked towards him.
“Look at you! Where’s the courage you had when you were fighting?” Lu Beixiao looked at Ye Qiao, who was standing next to him, obediently and smiled. He pulled her wrist, and she fell into his arms.
“How can you compare me to a monster like you?” Ye Qiao murmured.
“What did you say?”
“Ah, I said you’re so strong and masculine! I am nothing compared to you!” Ye Qiao praised him immediately!
“Here, have some porridge!” He held a spoonful of porridge to her mouth.
Since she did not want to eat, he would feed her spoonful by spoonful until she could not eat anymore!
