2274: I Didn't Forget

I Didn't Forget

"You'd go back on your words?" Jiang Yao slowly raised her head and looked at Lu Xingzhi, who had a disapproving look on his face. "What did you say to me before you were discharged? Hmm? What did you promise me?"1

"I didn't forget it." Lu Xingzhi changed his sitting posture and raised his eyebrows. He thought about how Zhou Junmin secretly ridiculed him for not being good at coaxing people. In fact, Jiang Yao did not seem to be doing much better.

"It's good that you remember." Jiang Yao pinched Lu Xingzhi's arm. "Mom will be watching you at home. If you don't listen to her, I'll give you an injection every day and let you sleep until I come home."

The corner of Lu Xingzhi's mouth twitched as he moved his long legs closer to Jiang Yao. "Can't you say something nice to coax me?"

Jiang Yao was immediately amused. "How old are you? You're already 30 years old. Do you still think you're a three-year-old who needs to be coaxed?"

Jiang Yao stood up with a smile and returned to her bedroom to gather the items she needed to return to university the next day. Lu Xingzhi sat there, savoring the words Jiang Yao said. He pondered whether Jiang Yao's words reflected a dislike for his age.

Even though Lu Xingzhi did not explicitly agree to Jiang Yao's return to university, he did not show much emotion to Jiang Yao when she mentioned that she would do that.

Four people were sitting at the dining table, including Jiang Lei, who had just arrived. The dining table was especially lively because of Jiang Lei's witty tongue. It was the sound of Jiang Lei arguing with Jiang Yao when Jiang Yao had had enough. 

Jiang Lei and Jiang Yao were siblings who had grown up like that since they were young. It was rare to see such a scene after Jiang Yao got married. Therefore, Mrs. Jiang only felt nostalgic when she saw the lively scene and did not scold them.

Lu Xingzhi had never seen Jiang Yao look like a child who had not grown up. Although Jiang Yao would occasionally act coquettishly with him, there was still a difference in their interactions. As a result, Jiang Yao was arguing with Jiang Lei while Lu Xingzhi was filling Jiang Yao's bowl. She did not forget to eat while arguing with her brother. She would eat whatever was in the bowl as long as it was edible. Jiang Yao only realized she had eaten too much when Jiang Lei fled with his tail between his legs, admitting defeat.

Jiang Yao scowled at Lu Xingzhi as she remembered how he had been picking up food for her all morning. "Are you feeding the pigs?"

Lu Xingzhi was baffled by the accusation. He did not realize someone had eaten too much until he saw Jiang Yao rubbing her stomach. He leaned over and rubbed Jiang Yao's stomach in amusement, but he did not withdraw his hand until Jiang Yao's phone rang. Big Ke and Ah Lu had arrived at the entrance.

Although Lu Xingzhi had recovered quite well recently, there was still some distance between his home and the entrance. Jiang Yao did not ask him to see her off. Instead, Mrs. Jiang told Jiang Lei to go with her.

Jiang Lei was Jiang Yao's brother and Colonel Lu's brother-in-law. He was dressed elegantly. In addition, he was wearing a brand new watch. Therefore, when the siblings walked out of the house, many people surrounded them and greeted them.

Many of them came to see Jiang Lei. Most had female relatives, and they wanted to know if Jiang Lei was married.

When Jiang Lei finally got someone to leave with Jiang Yao, Jiang Yao laughed so hard that she could not even straighten her back.
