Luo Yu's face was flushed when she left for work, ignoring Xi Beizhan who was chasing after her.

"Honey, wait for me! Why are you walking so fast?"

Luo Yu suddenly stopped and glared fiercely at Xi Beizhan.

When Xi Beizhan was two meters away from Luo Yu, he suddenly braked, swallowed hard, and asked, "Wife, are you angry?"

Seeing that Luo Yu remained silent and her gaze grew increasingly hostile, Xi Beizhan sensed something was wrong. He secretly took two steps back and then two steps to the side, pressing his body tightly against the wall.

"Wife, if you need anything, just say so. Don't look at me like that, it scares me."

Seeing that Xi Beizhan was watching her warily, Luo Yu closed her eyes, gritted her teeth, and whispered, "It's all your fault."

Xi Beizhan blinked. "What did I do wrong? I didn't do anything wrong!"

Luo Yu closed her eyes weakly. "You still dare to say that? If you hadn't slept in the room yesterday, would your second aunt have... would she have let your sister-in-law boil water?"

Xi Beizhan was even more confused. "You're my wife, we're already married, isn't that normal? Besides, why does my aunt ask my sister-in-law to boil water when I'm sleeping in your room? That doesn't make sense!"

Luo Yu choked, wanting to explain, but couldn't open her mouth, and angrily turned and left.

When Xi Beizhan saw Luo Yu leave, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He then took two quick steps to catch up with Luo Yu, but kept a distance of two meters from her.

"Honey, I was wrong. I don't know what I did wrong, but whatever you say goes, I'll do whatever you say."

Luo Yu rolled her eyes, stopped and turned to look at him.

Sure enough, Xi Beizhan stopped two meters away from her again, and even secretly took a small step back to increase the distance between them.

Luo Yu scoffed, "What are you afraid of? You're a grown man, why would you be afraid of me taking action? Xi Beizhan, don't forget you're a soldier."

Xi Beizhan blinked innocently, "I'm not scared!"

"Then why are you so far away from me?"

Xi Beizhan swallowed hard, looking at Luo Yu's flushed face. "May I come over?"

Luo Yu narrowed her eyes. "What do you think?"

Seeing that Luo Yu seemed genuinely angry, Xi Beizhan strode over to her side, cupped her face in his hands, looked around to make sure no one was watching, and then quickly kissed her on the cheek.

"Wife, you look so beautiful when you're angry."

After saying that, he forcefully pulled Luo Yu's hand and whispered, "Don't be angry. I still don't understand what you're angry about. You're just wasting your time being angry."

"Be good, listen to me, explain to your husband. Even if I die, I want to die knowing why."

Luo Yu thought about it and realized that Xi Beizhan was right. She had been angry for a long time, but the other person still didn't understand what she was angry about. In the end, she was furious, while the other person was still confused and even thought she was being unreasonable. Isn't the misunderstanding between couples caused by not speaking up?

Luo Yu breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, I'll tell you."

Luo Yu looked around to make sure no one was nearby, then leaned close to Xi Beizhan and whispered a few words to him.

After listening, Xi Beizhan suddenly understood, but then he was puzzled again.

“But we didn’t finish yesterday, so we didn’t need all that water.”

Xi Beizhan was right. He held back at the last moment, but... except for the last step, the two of them did everything they should and shouldn't have done, so it was no different from entering the bridal chamber.

Luo Yu rolled her eyes. "Your second aunt doesn't know."

Xi Beizhan nodded with a pursed mouth, "She didn't know, otherwise she wouldn't have asked her sister-in-law to boil water."

"Wife, how about next time we don't refuse Second Aunt's kind offer and just go straight to the bridal chamber?"

Luo Yu got even angrier when she heard this, and reached out to pinch Xi Beizhan's waist, but Xi Beizhan was wearing many layers of clothing, so she missed this time.

Luo Yu glanced down and angrily let go of her hand. "I haven't had my period yet, what kind of wedding night is this?"

Xi Beizhan was shocked upon hearing this, his face turning pale. "Wife, what did you say? You haven't..."

Oh my god, what am I going to do? If you don't come in two weeks, what will happen to my wedding night?

Luo Yu was furious after hearing this. "I'm so old and I still haven't had my period. Instead of worrying about my health, you're thinking about your wedding night. Xi Beizhan, you're something else. You just wait and see."

After Luo Yu finished speaking, she turned around and left.

Xi Beizhan knew he had angered Luo Yu again, so he quickly chased after her.

"No, I just thought of that subconsciously. Don't misunderstand, of course I'm worried about your health. I'm so worried."

This isn't your fault. If you hadn't been malnourished for so long, this wouldn't have happened. In fact, it's your parents' fault.

Honey, let's not think about this anymore. If he didn't come, he didn't come. I can wait. I've been single for so many years, what's a few more days?

I misspoke just now. Just ignore me and let me go.

Luo Yu glared at Xi Beizhan, annoyed. "Shut up, let me have some peace and quiet."

"Okay, I'll shut up now."

Xi Beizhan became obedient and followed Luo Yu into the gate of Wulong Mine with a wronged expression.

The security guards and the gatekeeper, Lao Gao, watched helplessly as their cold-faced, ruthless captain, Xi, followed Luo Yu through the gate like a shadow, and only returned to the guardhouse dejectedly after escorting him into the office building.

Old Gao blinked his old, aging eyes, looking puzzled. "What's wrong? Did you upset your wife?"

Xi Beizhan immediately sat up straight. "How could that be? I'm so obedient, how could I possibly make my wife angry? My wife and I have a great relationship, she loves me dearly."

Old Gao chuckled, "Really? But why does Comrade Luo seem angry to me?"

“You, you’re mistaken. My wife is gentle and considerate. I’m always the one who makes the decisions, both at home and outside, and she never argues with me.”

Old Gao gave him a meaningful look and stopped arguing with him. Instead, Xi Beizhan couldn't sit still anymore.

"Hey Lao Gao, what was that look on your face just now? You don't believe me, do you? You don't believe that I'm the one who calls the shots in my family?"

Let me tell you, I never lie, and I truly am the one in charge of my own household.

My wife and I have agreed that from now on, she will make the decisions on small matters at home, while I will make the decisions on big matters.

As you know, I'm very busy every day, I don't have time to deal with so many small things. It's only when something big happens that I have no choice but to take care of it that I'll make time to manage it.

Old Gao glanced at Xi Beizhan and nodded, "Yes, I believe you. It's your family, you make the decisions."

Xi Beizhan frowned slightly. "But why do I see doubt in your eyes? What you said sounds reasonable, but why does it sound so awful?"

Old Gao turned his back to Xi Beizhan and didn't respond to him, clearly not wanting to continue the conversation with Xi Beizhan.

Helpless, Xi Beizhan slumped back into his chair.

"Is that matter from a few days ago completely resolved?"

Old Gao took a sip of tea, his voice low and deep.

Xi Beizhan didn't move, his eyes fixed on the ceiling. "Hmm, all done."

"You've figured it out? And it has nothing to do with you?"

"I've investigated and found out it has nothing to do with me."

Old Gao visibly breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that it has nothing to do with you. I'm relieved."

After saying that, Lao Gao hummed a Peking Opera tune, put his hands behind his back, and walked out of the guardhouse, just in time to run into Hao Kuangshang, who was on his way to work.
