2289: It's Fine

It's Fine

"That's not true." Master Cheng did not know whether to laugh or cry. "I love my daughter so much that I don't even have time to scold her. Why would I scold her for no reason? Even if she wants to go to the house and tear off the tiles, I'll find a ladder for her."0

Initially a little sad, Jiang Yao broke into laughter after they teased her.

Master Cheng laughed complacently. "See? Your sister smiled."

"If my wife wants to go to the house to remove the tiles, I can carry her there. We won't need to trouble Master Cheng to find a ladder," Lu Xingzhi suddenly appeared at the door. Then, he strode over to Jiang Yao. He pulled her into his arms and touched Jiang Yao's palm. Her palm was warm; he was relieved she did not catch a cold.

Lu Xingzhi saw that Jiang Yao's eyes were red. Obviously, she had cried before that, but he did not ask further.

Jiang Yao was very soft-hearted, but she had a sharp tongue. It was probably Madam Cheng's gift that made her cry.

"What do you want to eat this morning?" Lu Xingzhi kissed Jiang Yao on the top of her hair. "Mom made breakfast before she left. Shall I heat it for you?"

"It's fine." Jiang Yao sniffed and pretended to scratch her head. She mumbled, "The morning wind is so cold that my eyes are red."

Lu Xingzhi did not expose Jiang Yao's lame excuse. She was a little awkward. She cried but was too embarrassed to let others know she had cried.

After Master Cheng entered the room with the suitcase, he placed it on the side. It was inappropriate for him to enter Jiang Yao and Lu Xingzhi's bedroom. Since he had brought the bag in, it would be up to Jiang Yao to decide what to do with it. In short, Master Cheng felt that Jiang Yao would not throw it away.

After all, the house was a little too small for Master Cheng. If Lu Xingzhi were not in the army, Master Cheng would give Jiang Yao a luxurious home in the city. Jiang Yao's child would have a bigger place to run around.

Jiang Lei was the one who heated the breakfast. Jiang Lei was not diligent, but he would not let Lu Xingzhi, the injured man, go to the kitchen to heat breakfast for his sister. During breakfast, Jiang Yao received several calls; they were all to wish her a happy birthday.

Jiang Yao was shocked when she received Wen Xuehui's call. No one in her birthday dorm knew her birthday. She received a call from Lu Xiaoxiao, Lu Yuqing, a few others, and Jiang Jie and his wife.

"How did you know that today is my birthday?" Jiang Yao was surprised.

"Oh, I knew it from listening to Gu Haoyu. You're terrible. You didn't even tell me about your birthday. I didn't even have time to prepare a gift." Wen Xuehui had called Jiang Yao early last night; she did not prepare a gift because she wanted to be the first person to wish Jiang Yao a happy birthday. She did not expect Jiang Yao to be asleep. The person who answered the phone was Lu Xingzhi, and Wen Xuehui was too embarrassed to ask Lu Xingzhi to wake Jiang Yao when she knew that Jiang Yao had fallen asleep.

She did not want to be the last person to wish Jiang Yao a happy birthday, so Wen Xuehui called her in the morning.

"How did he know?" Jiang Yao was puzzled, and then she looked at Lu Xingzhi. He must have found out from Lu Xingzhi.

Wen Xuehui snickered when she heard Jiang Yao's silly question. How did he know? Was it not her husband who caused trouble? Lu Xingzhi's brothers probably knew when he was preparing gifts for Jiang Yao. Lu Xingzhi even asked those who were abroad.
