Reborn as a Tough Army Wife-Chapter 758 - 753: Trying to Escape

If it had been before, seeing Xu He like this, Luo Zhiming really would have let her do whatever she wanted.

No, even just a few days ago, if Xu He had taken such initiative, Luo Zhiming probably would have been overjoyed beyond words.

Anyway, Luo Zhiming didn’t understand what was going on with Xu He. It seemed that ever since being with him, she had never been too enthusiastic about marital affairs, always engaging with him in such acts only when it was unavoidable.

Especially lately, whether it’s because of childbirth or something else, Xu He had become even colder towards these matters. Since the birth of the child, they had only been intimate once or twice, and each time Xu He seemed to have no reaction at all, leading Luo Zhiming to hastily finish.

In Luo Zhiming’s view, although he wasn’t satisfied, he had a child now, and he could be tolerant of everything. Naturally, he had no idea that Xu He’s body was different because she had lost her uterus during the inducement of childbirth.

But today, Luo Zhiming suddenly saw through a lot of things.

It turned out that Xu He wasn’t uninterested in these matters, she was just uninterested in him — otherwise, how could she have had a child with Shuanzi?

God knows what Xu He was like when she was with Shuanzi.

All in all, it was Xu He who had always treated him like a fool, never seeing him as a husband.

Thinking of all this, the suffocation in Luo Zhiming’s chest grew stronger, but he didn’t say much, only clenched his fists tightly, looking at Xu He and asked expressionlessly, "Didn’t you say after giving birth, your figure didn’t recover well and you always refused to let me see?"

"Well, you have to see eventually. We’re spouses, it’s not like you would disdain me," Xu He said in a coquettish tone, softening her voice, and then handed a cup over to Luo Zhiming, "Have a drink first. I just made you some raw egg with boiling water, it’s for nourishing your body."

Luo Zhiming glanced at the egg in her hand, paused for a moment, then reached out to take it. Afterward, he silently stared at the cup in his hand for a few seconds, then finally picked it up, downing the boiled water and egg in one gulp.

Seeing this, a barely detectable delight flashed in Xu He’s eyes.

After Luo Zhiming finished drinking, she immediately took the blanket and turned to leave, "I’ll go wash the cup, wait for me."

Luo Zhiming nodded, remaining silent, but the moment he saw Xu He turning her back and walking out of the room, he grabbed a towel and spat out all of the boiled water and egg he had just drunk.

The him of today obviously wasn’t the naive person he used to be, believing whatever Xu He said, delighted as if he had found money whenever she was slightly nice to him.

Just now, he hadn’t missed the flash of joy in Xu He’s eyes after he finished drinking the boiled egg water.

He wanted to see what Xu He intended to do to him.

Whether she would harm him as she did Dashan last time, even going so far as to put Dashan’s life at risk in her desire to keep someone around.

If so, then Xu He couldn’t blame him, Luo Zhiming, for being ruthless.

Afterward, due to Luo Zhiming’s lackluster interest, and since Xu He really wasn’t in the mood for that, the two of them merely went through the motions and then went to bed to sleep.

On the surface, they both pretended to be tired and quickly entered "sleep," but in reality, neither of them fell asleep; they were both faking it, lying motionless in bed.

In secret, each was trying to gauge what the other was thinking.

Finally, it was Xu He who became impatient, or perhaps it could be said that Luo Zhiming was one step ahead. Around midnight, Luo Zhiming deliberately began to snore as usual, which completely lowered Xu He’s guard.

"Zhiming, are you asleep?" Xu He nudged Luo Zhiming, saw him not move, and even intentionally raised her voice a bit near his ear, "Zhiming, Zhiming, your son is crying."

Seeing that Luo Zhiming still did not move, a smirk appeared on Xu He’s face. She no longer hesitated, reached out, and fiercely pinched Luo Zhiming a few times as if venting on him, then looked at him with some triumph, saying, "You useless fool think you can compete with me?"

Afterward, she immediately jumped out of bed and started to look for the bankbook Luo Zhiming had hidden in the house.

The small rented room had only a few places for storing things, and Xu He quickly found the bankbook.

Having obtained the bankbook, Xu He laughed arrogantly and began to pack up some of her more valuable possessions. As she packed, she incessantly berated Luo Zhiming, "Your Luo family, mother and son, surely have a big appetite, thinking you can swallow up so much of my money. You need the ability if you have the ambition. With your two straw-brained mother and son, pah."

Since Xu He planned to leave on her own, and she had quite a bit of money with her, she did not want to take much. After packing a small bundle, she prepared to leave.

But as she reached the door, she suddenly turned back to have a last look at the things in the room as a form of remembrance.

When she saw Luo Zhiming on the bed, she paused, took a few steps back, approached Luo Zhiming, and stared at him quietly for a while.

After all, in the cup of hot water used for steeping the egg earlier, she had added a heavy dose of sleeping pills. She was sure that Luo Zhiming wouldn’t wake up for a day and a night, so she wasn’t worried.

She glanced at Luo Zhiming and then spoke with a tone full of disdain, "Since your Luo family loves children so much, I’ll leave this child to you. Anyway, a useless man like you, no matter what you do, probably can’t have children in this lifetime. This child is perfect for you; it can shut others up and there will be someone to look after you in your old age."

Finished, she added, "Luo Zhiming, don’t say I’ve wronged you. At least I’ve preserved your dignity before I left. I’ve never exposed your impotence."

After saying this, Xu He snorted, turned around without any lingering sentiment, and was about to leave.

However, what she never expected was that she wouldn’t make it out the door. As she took her first step, her left hand was grabbed.

Startled, she turned around to see Luo Zhiming, who had somehow opened his eyes, giving her an icy look as if he were shards of ice, and he coldly retorted, "Xu He, should I thank you for being so enthusiastic about wearing the green hat I gave you, even bearing another man’s child while claiming it to be mine, covering up my own impotence?"

"You..." Xu He was genuinely afraid upon seeing this version of Luo Zhiming; so frightened she couldn’t even speak clearly. After a struggle, she managed to utter a complete sentence, "When did you wake up?"

Luo Zhiming turned over and sat up, then yanked her close to the bed with such force that Xu He fell onto it in a heap. The hand that was holding her arm now grabbed her hair, and he stared at her expressionlessly and demanded, "Do you think that after knowing so much about you, I could still sleep?"
