Switched Marriage: The Coddled Little Wife-Chapter 318 Do Not Treat Me as a Stranger
Chapter 318: Chapter 318 Do Not Treat Me as a Stranger
"Really, it’s not as dangerous as you think, and besides, I know how to protect myself, Yuan Bao was also by my side, and Yuan Bao was a great help."
Lin Chuxia tried to simplify things, but Qin Yang’s expression just kept getting worse.
Finally, he grabbed her shoulders and kissed her directly.
He was afraid that if she spoke more, he would be infuriated to death.
"Lin Chuxia, Lin Chuxia, this actually happened before you went to the Northwest, and you’re only telling me now," after he saw it in the newspaper.
If he hadn’t coincidentally seen that day’s newspaper, would this woman have continued to keep it from him?
Today, Qin Yang felt the most severe sense of defeat in his over 20 years of life.
He had never felt so failed in his life, and as a husband, he felt utterly devastated.
He wasn’t a qualified husband; whenever his wife faced danger or difficulty, he wasn’t there for her in time, he didn’t even have the right to know.
Lin Chuxia felt that her mouth would definitely swell from continuing like this, she repeatedly begged for mercy.
"Qin Yang, I was wrong, I was truly wrong, I won’t dare do this again, I might break the skin..."
Finally, Qin Yang stopped his actions, his eyes red as he stared at her, "Xiaxia, don’t torture me like this anymore, I’m your husband, don’t treat me like a stranger."
Lin Chuxia, touching the corner of her mouth, then soothingly touched Qin Yang’s face, "Why would I treat you like a stranger? The act of heroism was truly an accident; the situation was urgent, and when those criminals saw me, even if I didn’t react, I might have been killed to be silenced. It was also self-defense to save Chen Ping, the matter with Xiyang Food Factory..."
Okay, she really did forget to tell Qin Yang about the Xiyang Food Factory and Old Food Factory.
After all, distant waters can’t quench immediate thirst; Lin Chuxia was used to handling things alone and never even thought of involving Qin Yang.
Lin Chuxia leaned in and kissed the corner of his lips, "I promise I won’t do this again, and we don’t have to live apart anymore, you can supervise me, okay?"
Qin Yang sighed, wrapping his arms around his small wife.
With such a wife, what could he do?
That night, Zhang Guilan also returned from the city; she had just heard about the incident between the Old Food Factory and the Xiyang Food Factory and was furious, cursing in the courtyard.
Fortunately, the issue was already resolved, and the family enjoyed a lively reunion dinner together.
Knowing that Qin Yang would soon be transferred back, Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin’s smiles never stopped.
With their younger son returned, their daughter-in-law and son wouldn’t have to live apart anymore.
A family united is truly perfect.
"Xiaxia, tell your master tomorrow that he should come to our house for the Mid-Autumn Festival; he’s too lonely by himself."
"Okay, Mom, I understand."
After dinner, everyone returned to their own rooms.
The one who previously claimed sugar-coated bullets were ineffective suddenly changed, clinging to Lin Chuxia, with various requests, wanting her to say words of love and missing him.
Lin Chuxia cooperated with his actions while also having to bolster her verbal skills, rolling her eyes internally.
Men’s mouths, deceiving ghosts indeed.
"Xiaxia~"
"Hmm?"
"I want to hear you say it again..."
"Say what?"
"Say you love me, Xiaxia, do you love me?"
Lin Chuxia internally snarked, speak if you want to speak, why stop what we’re doing?
Isn’t this killing me?
Her pale arms snaked around the man’s shoulders, her voice soft and enticing, laced with seduction.
"Qin Yang, I love you... Mm~"
Suddenly, as if caught in a tempest, Lin Chuxia felt her soul almost flying away.
In a daze, she heard the man’s low, muffled voice, "Xiaxia, love me more in the future," his tone pitifully contrasting with his actions at the moment.
Lin Chuxia felt light-headed, her gaze blurry, floating as if in a trance.
She must have heard wrong.
The autumn sun always shone especially bright. Lin Chuxia opened her eyes to find the sun already high in the sky.
Today was the weekend, and she could hear Little Zhuangzhuang’s cheerful voice in the yard.
The man beside her had already disappeared without a trace, prompting Lin Chuxia to quietly curse at someone a couple of times.
Usually, she left early and returned late, practically the same as everyone else in the house.
With Qin Yang back, she had lazed in bed until now, probably leaving others guessing what they had done last night.
Her face was probably about to be completely embarrassed by Qin Yang.
Despite complaining inwardly, Lin Chuxia still got ready and stepped outside composed.
Outside, Qin Yang was talking with Mr. Qin about building a new house, a topic Lin Chuxia had mentioned in a letter, and now the two were discussing renovation plans in the yard.
Hearing the door, Qin Yang looked up and saw Lin Chuxia, his dark eyes softening with a gentle affection, "You’re up?"
It took a great deal of mental preparation for Lin Chuxia not to lose her composure and she glared at him irritably.
Couldn’t he just talk properly with his father and ignore her presence?
Noticing his wife’s dissatisfaction, Qin Yang chuckled softly then nonchalantly continued his conversation with his father.
Lin Chuxia secretly sighed in relief. Knowing Mrs. Qin was in the kitchen, she was just about to check in when Little Zhuangzhuang ran up from a distance, Yuan Bao trailing behind him.
"Little auntie, little auntie, are you up? Little uncle told me not to speak loudly, saying little auntie was sleeping. I woke up a long time ago. Little auntie, such a grown-up still lazes in bed, shame, shame~"
Lin Chuxia: "..."
She couldn’t stay in this house any longer.
After breakfast, Qin Yang planned to join Mr. Qin to find someone to renovate the house.
The house had been standing unfinished for a while, and Lin Chuxia had initially suggested they renovate together, but Mr. Qin, old-school as he was, hesitated to spend the money and thought he could handle some tasks himself.
The children were all working outside, and he was idle anyway.
Qin Yang and Lin Chuxia shared the opinion that the sooner the house was fixed up, the sooner it could be used.
Moreover, he and Lin Chuxia would soon move to the city, and getting the house in order would set their minds at ease.
Qin Yang wouldn’t report to the city until tomorrow, so today was perfect for helping his father with home matters.
Lin Chuxia went to the Market Supervision Bureau to meet with Li Jian and learn about the follow-up to yesterday’s events.
Li Jian was waiting for her in his office.
Upon her arrival, he poured her a glass of water, his expression far from relaxed.
"When I came here, I heard that most of the employees from the Old Food Factory detained yesterday have been released, with only a few instigators still at the police station, including Liu Guoyi’s cousin. Are they only processing these few scapegoats?"
Although Bai County had intervened in the matter, allowing Xiyang Food Factory to resume normal production, pursuing accountability was another issue.
The Old Food Factory was, after all, one of Ancheng County’s original fundamental industries, and Lin Chuxia worried that the issue might be sloppily handled.
If that was indeed the case, she might need to have a serious talk with County Magistrate Bai, and even visit the Discipline Inspection Commission.
