"...Honey, please."

If a person's head could hold a kettle, Jiang Mian felt that the kettle in her head was probably already boiling!

It's more than just shame.

She didn't even dare to lift her eyes!

In fact, in my past life, I often called Lu Bozhou that.

Husband, husband...

That's what I liked to call him back then.

Because such a title gives one a sense of belonging and a feeling of possessing Lu Bozhou.

But Lu Bozhou didn't like her calling him that.

Every time I hear it, my first reaction is to frown.

He never looked like he was happy.

Jiang Mian felt that the only time Lu Bozhou heard her call him "husband" without frowning was usually... in bed.

Even if she doesn't scream, he'll still pinch her chin or hold her waist to make her scream.

Jiang blushed because of how she had addressed him earlier.

Unbeknownst to them, the man's eyes suddenly turned deep and intense upon hearing this address.

"Fine, if you're really different... um!"

Jiang Mian had already given up. Since she couldn't reason with him, she would just let Xiao Shitou talk to him later.

But before she could finish speaking, her mouth was gagged.

The man pinned her against the wall in the entryway.

The kiss was fierce, like a wild beast suddenly tasting meat.

Jiang Mian looked like an innocent herbivore whose throat had been seized, her eyes wide open.

It seems they've forgotten how to struggle.

"Ah—!" came a small exclamation.

Jiang Mian was startled!

The previously submissive attitude suddenly changed!

It's absolutely true that women can unleash tremendous power for their children.

She was just a weak woman.

Despite his thin arms and legs, he suddenly shoved Lu Bozhou when he heard Lu Chaochi's voice!

The force was so great that Lu Bozhou's lower back and buttocks were almost slammed directly against the edge of the shoe cabinet!

Thud! That sounded really painful.

The man frowned lazily, perhaps because his lower back and hips hurt from the impact.

Or was it because their passionate kiss was interrupted?

Jiang Mian's burst of power is not only very strong, but also very fast.

The moment Lu Bozhou's lower back and buttocks hit the edge of the shoe cabinet.

She immediately realized that the man had an injury on his side!

He quickly grabbed the other person by the collar and pulled them up!

A hint of tension flickered in his eyes, "Lu Bozhou!"

Lu Chaochi also realized what was happening and quickly walked up in small steps.

Her eyes were filled with worry, and her voice was urgent, "Dad!"

Lu Bozhou remained calm and said, "It's nothing."

The man's long, narrow eyes looked at his son.

"However, I think you should still be more discerning in the future and learn to accept the fact that such scenarios may happen again. Don't overreact."

Jiang Mian's eyes widened upon hearing this, staring at Lu Bozhou in disbelief.

What nonsense is this man spouting to the child?!

She was about to lower her eyes and explain a few words to her son.

To everyone's surprise, the child had the same calm expression as the man.

Lu Chaochi nodded seriously, "Dad is right. There's really no need for me to come to your rescue when you and Mianmian are together."

Jiang Mian was somewhat puzzled by the child's use of the word "rescue".

After entering the room, Jiang Mian asked Lu Chaochi in a low voice.

"Good boy."

"Ok?"

"What did you mean by 'helping out'?"

"Oh, that one." The child smiled, his eyes crinkling. "My dad's a stinky jerk. He attracts mosquitoes and flies all the time. Lots of them come."

Jiang Mian was stunned. "And then?"

"And then there are some aunties who, relying on their good looks, think that as long as they take the initiative, men won't refuse them," Lu Chaochi pouted.

Clearly, he was not happy about this.

"My dad would never hit a woman, right? That's why I stepped in to save the day..."

Jiang Mian only then realized that such a thing existed.

I mentioned this to Gong Yan when we were texting that evening.

Gong Yan said, "What? Did you think he was unwanted and you picked him up?"

Jiang Mian remained silent.

Yes, even in his past life, this man was always highly sought after.

"In the past few years, one after another, including but not limited to those introduced to him by Yan Ke, those the Lu family wanted to arrange for him, and those business partners who wanted to make connections for him, have come up one after another, at least forty or fifty..."

Jiang Mian sighed, "A man at thirty is truly a flower in full bloom, attracting so many admirers."

When he used to attract women, it was Jiang Mian who shielded him.

So many people were hostile towards her back then.

And now he's attracting attention...

Jiang Mian sighed again. People really are like that; they can fall into the same pit twice.

"Including but not limited to... are there others?" Jiang Mian asked.

Gong Yan sneered, "Not only that, there are even men."

Jiang Mian: "..."

She rarely muttered a curse, but she did so in a low voice, "Damn it!"

"Who can we rely on?" came the man's voice.

Jiang Mian was taken aback and turned to look.

Then I saw Lu Bozhou standing there.

She closed the chat window with Gong Yan.

"It's nothing, just something I felt compelled to say after reading the news online," Jiang Mian said.

"What news?" the man asked again.

Jiang Mian wondered when this man had developed a penchant for asking probing questions.

She bit her lip, tapped the screen, and randomly clicked on a trending topic.

Lu Bozhou stood to the side, not moving an inch, but leaning towards her, tilting his head to look at the content on her phone screen.

Jiang Mian had just randomly selected the item; she hadn't even looked at what it was.

At this moment, she noticed that after Lu Bozhou looked at the screen, he looked at her with a meaningful gaze.

Jiang Mian's heart skipped a beat, thinking to herself, "I hope this trending topic doesn't cause any trouble."

Looking down at the screen, I was surprised to find that the trending topic I randomly clicked on was—

A 60-year-old woman is keeping a 25-year-old fitness instructor as a mistress, claiming that her relationship is legal and legitimate. She says she can give the huge inheritance left by her deceased husband to whomever she wants.

Jiang Mian's eyes widened in astonishment.

This is too...

She blinked quickly, glanced at the trending topics, then at Lu Bozhou, "This... isn't... I must have clicked the wrong thing."

She quickly swiped the screen a few times and closed the page.

He turned around and prepared to go inside.

Then a man's voice came from behind, faint and not at all cold.

His tone was very calm and composed, even somewhat playful.

"I told you before that if I died, you'd be the richest widow in Los Angeles. So, are you starting to learn from your seniors' experience?"

"What?!" Jiang Mian stammered, turning to stare at him.

In the end, he couldn't even come up with a decent rebuttal.

Sometimes when she gets really angry, she can't say anything coherent and is prone to crying.

People like this are the ones who suffer the most in arguments.

Are you about to cry?
