The little drama queen is both capricious and naughty, but her military officer husband insists on s

Jiang Zao's eye twitched.

I thought to myself, you shouldn't be unable to hear everything, you should be deaf.

But she knew that what she should do most right now was to shut up.

Who cares how much they hear?

If she stopped talking about it, she could pretend that Lu Yanxun hadn't heard anything.

Jiang Zao started playing dumb.

Pretend nothing happened.

Lu Yanxun put her on the bed, and she immediately crawled into the quilt.

Close your eyes and pretend you're really going to sleep.

In order to avoid Lu Yanxun's questioning.

Seeing her like this, Lu Yanxun did not press the matter further.

Although he overheard Jiang Zao's conversation with others and felt contempt for her blatant fabrication, he didn't pay much attention to it.

No matter how outrageous her stories are, they're just trivial things.

He and Jiang Zao had already reached this point, so the truth of what happened before was no longer important to him.

Lu Yanxun sat quietly at the foot of the bed, gazing into the distance through the window.

Jiang Zao thought that Lu Yanxun would definitely investigate her for making up stories about him.

She thought that no matter how Lu Yanxun questioned her, she would stubbornly deny it.

After waiting anxiously for a long time, the other party didn't say a word, not even a single sound.

Jiang Zao was suspicious.

She opened her eyes a crack, trying to peek at Lu Yanxun's reaction.

Are you so angry that your face has turned completely black?

Jiang Zao squinted, her gaze wandering.

They quickly discovered Lu Yanxun's whereabouts; he was sitting on the other side of the bed.

Jiang Zao's angle was perfect for seeing his profile and half of his expression.

The scene she saw was different from what she had expected.

Lu Yanxun's expression didn't seem angry; he looked like he was deep in thought.

Jiang Zao was even more confused.

Isn't he angry?

She even made up stories about him like that in front of others.

Is that really his reaction?

"What are you looking at?" Lu Yanxun turned his head, his gaze meeting Jiang Zao's precisely.

"..."

Jiang Zao said nothing and closed her eyes.

Lu Yanxun didn't ask anything.

The two returned to the state they were in before he spoke.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Zao couldn't help but open her eyes again.

This time, she didn't peek through her squinted eyes; she opened them to their normal size.

Noticing that someone was watching him, Lu Yanxun turned to look at Jiang Zao again.

"Aren't you going to sleep? Aren't you tired?"

Jiang Zao frowned, but didn't respond to Lu Yanxun's words.

Instead, he asked, "Why aren't you saying anything?"

Lu Yanxun replied, "Didn't I already say that?"

"I'm not asking about that, I'm asking about that!"

Jiang Zao's tone carried a hint of emotion, and upon hearing this, Lu Yanxun immediately formed a plan in his mind.

It's probably going to flare up again.

Lu Yanxun secretly made a plan, carefully choosing his words as he asked, "Are you talking about what I heard before?"

"That's right!" Seeing that Lu Yanxun had finally gotten the hang of it, Jiang Zao hurriedly tried to get out of bed.

But she was too clumsy to get up.

Lu Yanxun originally wanted to tell her that it was okay to talk while lying down.

But after thinking about how Jiang Zao would act up, he gave up trying to persuade her to lie down.

They went over and helped her up.

"You say it and I listen."

Lu Yanxun sat down on the edge of the bed, his attitude upright and he seemed very patient.

“It’s not me who’s saying it, it’s you who’s saying it,” Jiang Zao said. “Shouldn’t you be questioning me about why I’m making fun of you?”

Lu Yanxun frowned slightly, somewhat uncertain: "Do you think I should question you about this?"

Jiang Zao nodded: "Of course I think so, why not?"

Although it was Jiang Zao's own idea not to continue that topic.

But that was just a passing thought.

She wants to continue now.

Because she was incredibly curious.

I'm curious about Lu Yanxun's opinion.

Lu Yanxun pursed his lips, not answering immediately.

Jiang Zao stared intently at him, awaiting his answer.

Unbeknownst to her, her eyes looked particularly expectant.

Like a curious cat.

"I thought about asking about it, but then I decided against it," Lu Yanxun said truthfully.

Jiang Zao's eyes immediately brightened.

A look of "I knew it" crossed his face.

"Why did you give up?" Jiang Zao asked.

Lu Yanxun found it somewhat amusing to see her so engrossed in the conversation.

He felt that if he said he didn't care about that answer, the expectation in the person's eyes would probably disappear immediately.

She might even find his answer disappointing and make a scene.

To avoid this situation, Lu Yanxun felt he couldn't tell the truth.

He thought for a moment before saying, "Because I want to wait until you wake up before asking you more questions. Then you won't be able to use the excuse of wanting to rest to avoid it, and you'll definitely be able to ask more questions."

Jiang Zao tilted her head back strategically, glancing at Lu Yanxun incredulously, "My God, you're so cunning, you're definitely not a simple man!"

Lu Yanxun gazed at Jiang Zao's increasingly intense interest, knowing that this was the correct answer.

“Yes.” Lu Yanxun crossed his arms, his voice cold. “Someone is openly slandering me and ruining my reputation in broad daylight. Of course, I have to stay calm and find out the truth at a suitable time.”

Jiang Zao pouted, "Then I underestimated you. I thought you would be so angry that you would interrogate me immediately."

Jiang Zao raised her chin and continued, "However, there is something I need to clarify. Although I openly slandered you in broad daylight, I did not ruin your reputation."

"Since you heard everything, didn't you realize I was praising you?"

She would never admit to ruining his reputation.

Because there isn't one.

Instead, they are promoting his image as a good man.

“Praise me? Ha.” Lu Yanxun chuckled, but it didn’t sound like a laugh because it was devoid of emotion.

But it doesn't sound like something that's sarcastic or weird.

Jiang Zao's face fell: "What's wrong? Doesn't it look like it?"

Lu Yanxun didn't say whether it was similar or not, but only said, "I didn't hear it. Tell me where you praised me."

All he heard was her attributing all the things she had done to him to him.

After being spun by her sharp tongue...

She managed to absolve herself of all responsibility.

Lu Yanxun was stunned for a long time when he first heard what she said.

Later, thinking about what she had done to him, he quickly let go of his resentment.

She's capable of such heinous acts, so what's a few fabricated stories to whitewash herself?

Compared to the abnormal things Jiang Zao did, it's just an unbelievable story, too normal.

Jiang Zao: "I praise you as a good man who is devoted, responsible, and especially dotes on his wife."

Lu Yanxun said casually, "Oh, really? Thank you."

Jiang Zao was dissatisfied with his thanks; it was too perfunctory.

Then he added, "I also complimented your physical strength."

Lu Yanxun nodded thoughtfully: "That's true, but thank you anyway."

Jiangzao: "..."

It seems even more perfunctory now.
