The wealthy military officer spoils his wife excessively

The moment Lu Zheng reached out his arm to her, she rushed over and threw herself into his arms without hesitation.

"I didn't, I didn't..."

Why do my eyes suddenly feel sore?

Why does my heart feel like it's been pricked by needles?

Is it feeling sorry for him, or feeling guilty towards myself?

In the end, she uttered the same repetitive and meaningless words as those melodramatic soap operas. It turns out that even melodramatic stories have a certain logic to them.

But Lu Zheng seemed to understand what she wanted to say. Without uttering a word, he took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders, his large hands stroking her back to soothe her. Su Wen buried her head in his chest, listening to his heart pounding with suppressed anger, and felt even more distressed.

Xiao Rong seemed to sneer, turning her face away, refusing to look at the young couple's affectionate display.

Lu Zheng held Su Wen in his arms, but his icy gaze remained fixed on Xiao Rong. He pursed his lips tightly and after a long while, he finally managed to grit his teeth and say, "Su Su isn't feeling well, so I'll take her with me. I'll come to see you at the company tomorrow."

Xiao Rong gave a silent, cold laugh: "Don't be like that. Just say what you have to say here. There's no need to settle scores later. If you have nothing to say, then I'm sorry, your wife and I have something to talk about. Please move aside."

The mocking smile on Xiao Rong's lips made Lu Zheng's chiseled, handsome face appear even more somber and lonely.

Lu Zheng pulled Su Wen closer: "I know what's going on. If I stay here, I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself. If we start fighting here, this matter will probably get out of control."

Xiao Rong finally couldn't hold back and kicked a tree trunk next to him, sending dead leaves fluttering to the ground: "This is fucking hilarious. I'd like to see how this gets out of hand. Are you going to turn against me for a woman? She's just a bitch. Only you would treat her like a treasure!"

Lu Zheng had intended to leave with Su Wen while he still had some sense, but Xiao Rong's last words completely enraged him. By the time Nie Su Wen sensed his anger, he had already pushed her away without any gentleness. She staggered, and when she tried to grab him again, it was too late.

It wasn't the first time I'd seen Lu Zheng fight, but it was the first time I'd realized how terrifying a man could be.

She had never been this scared when he fought off a dozen thugs for her in the hotel parking lot last time, but at this moment, she truly felt that he was going to kill her!

Before she could even see Lu Zheng's movements, Xiao Rong was already knocked to the ground. But that wasn't the end of it. Lu Zheng used his knee to press down on Xiao Rong's abdomen, held him down tightly, grabbed his collar, and threw another punch, followed by a series of elbow strikes to his chest.

Because Xiao Rong lost the initiative, he was constantly hampered once he fell behind in a move. After several rounds of heavy blows, his usually carefree face turned red, and drops of blood splattered on his beige sweater. Su Wen was stunned. If this continued, someone would die!

Lu Zheng punched him more than a dozen times before finally catching his breath. He grabbed Xiao Rong by the collar and pulled him up in front of him, who was spitting out blood: "Xiao Rong, aren't you going to give me an explanation? What exactly is your relationship with her? No, no, I should ask, what exactly did you do to her?"

Xiao Rong finally recovered from the excruciating pain. Her eyes were glazed over, and she slowly saw the resentment and pain in Lu Zheng's eyes. Suddenly, she chuckled and didn't explain, letting him guess and think for himself.

This enraged, irrational beast was nothing more than consumed by jealousy. Women... indeed, even the most shrewd have their weaknesses.

Xiao Rong's fair face was covered in bruises from the beating, yet she could still smile, a smile that radiated contempt and smugness. Lu Zheng froze, falling silent and glancing at Su Wen.

Suwen was worried that if he continued fighting like this, someone might die, but when he was suddenly looked at like this, he was also stunned.

Lu Zheng turned around, his chin slightly raised, looking at her stubbornly and coldly, finding the guilt in her eyes so ironic. Xiao Rong's silent sneer and Su Wen's remorse seemed to have already admitted something, making it impossible for him to pretend to be ignorant any longer and say he believed her. Behind those two words, "believe," lay the wounds he had spent so much effort to heal. How could she possibly know?

Xiao Rong's martial arts skills were already on par with his own. Taking advantage of Lu Zheng's momentary lapse in concentration, he seized the initiative, hooking his thigh and sweeping Lu Zheng to the ground before leaping up himself. Xiao Rong was most skilled in leg attacks, and having always been the one beating others, he had never been beaten so brutally before. His movements were now laced with ruthlessness, each strike carrying a bloodthirsty cruelty and the thrill of revenge. Seeing Xiao Rong kicking towards Lu Zheng's face, Su Wen was terrified and instinctively rushed to protect Lu Zheng.

Farewell, Xiao Rong!

Lu Zheng's vision blurred, and a soft, warm body rushed into his arms, causing his heart to skip a beat.

It's Susu... she's pregnant!

In the blink of an eye, all Lu Zheng could do was turn to the side while holding Su Wen, trying his best to avoid Xiao Rong's kick.

Xiao Rong was already in a frenzy and never expected Su Wen to suddenly appear, so it was impossible for him to stop. But after all, he and Lu Zheng had been learning kung fu and fighting together since they were young, and their tacit understanding was already ingrained in their bones. The moment he rolled over, he understood his intention and changed the direction of his kick, kicking him in the side.

Lu Zheng felt a piercing pain in his ribs, so intense that his knees buckled and he collapsed to the ground, almost fainting.

Suwen exclaimed in shock, hugging his body as it slid down: "Lu Zheng, Lu Zheng... Xiao Rong, are you crazy?!" She covered Lu Zheng's bleeding wound and turned to yell at Xiao Rong.

This situation seemed to have caught even Xiao Rong off guard. He hadn't expected Lu Zheng to be so ruthless once he made his move, forcing him to take it seriously as well. After all, they were the same kind of people, with an unusual ruthlessness flowing in their veins.

"Get away from me, Su Su." Lu Zheng propped himself up and stood up again, his voice as cold as ice, and the murderous aura around him lingered for a long time.

Suwen was pushed to the ground and fell backward onto the withered branches. She stared at him blankly.

Xiao Rong didn't expect him to still want to fight when he could barely stand: "You don't care about your own injuries? Do you want to break your ribs? Fine, if you want to fight, I'm ready anytime!" As he spoke, he took off his blood-stained sweater, as if he was going to get serious.

陆铮啐了口血沫，用那只已经麻木掉的右手指着萧溶放下一句话：“我揍你不为别的，萧溶，我他妈看不起你作践女人。你从前玩玩女人，不是太过火的，兄弟都睁一只眼闭一只眼。可是你给我看看清楚，聂素问她是我女人！今天我明明白白的告诉你，我打算娶她做媳妇的，以后她就是你嫂子，你敢碰她一根指头，或诋毁她半个字，我会揍得你再也站不起来！不信你就试试看！”

Hot tears welled up in Nie Suwen's eyes.

She sat on the ground, her vision blurred, seeing only the man's slender back. He seemed so far away, yet she could reach him with a single outstretched hand.

Lu Zheng coughed up blood. A small hand gently tugged at his coat from behind. Lu Zheng turned around and saw Su Wen with tears streaming down her face, looking at him with pleading eyes: "Let's go back..."

Lu Zheng took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, turned around, and pulled Nie Suwen away.

Xiao Rong remained motionless, his body hidden in the shadows of the trees.

His car was parked outside the park, but the car that was supposed to pick up Suwen was nowhere to be seen. At first, Lu Zheng was pulling her along, walking briskly ahead. Gradually, his pace slowed down, and Suwen easily caught up with him, walking side by side. When she looked up, she saw his frighteningly pale face in the twilight. The injury to his ribs must have been extremely serious; perhaps, as Xiao Rong had said, his ribs were broken.

Thinking of this, she was startled and quickly reached out to grab one of his arms, placing it on her shoulder, and with her other hand she hugged his waist, trying to help him get into the car.

Lu Zheng leaned against her for a while to rest, and after recovering a bit, he closed his eyes and sighed deeply: "Your husband isn't that weak, needing you to support me even to walk."

Suwen shed tears, but bit her lip and remained silent.

Above him, Lu Zheng gave a barely audible bitter smile and shook his head.

Once in the car, Su Wen habitually helped him into the driver's seat, then climbed into the passenger seat herself. However, Lu Zheng had been beating Xiao Rong with his right fist like a madman, and his right hand was now completely numb. He tried twice, but couldn't pull the clutch.

He simply leaned back, placed his other uninjured hand on his forehead, and remained silent as he leaned against the back of the chair.

After a while, he felt a pair of warm little hands carefully lift his right hand. He could barely feel anything, but he could feel warm, wet drops of her tears falling on it.

Lu Zheng put his arm around her shoulder and pressed her against his chest: "Miss Nie, now is the perfect time for you to show off your driving skills."

Even at a time like this, he could still joke around. Just moments ago, he was so cold and menacing, but now, to ease her guilt, he deliberately spoke to her in a lighthearted tone.

Suwen clutched at her clothes, tears streaming down her face. Lu Zheng could only pat her back gently, as if comforting a child: "Why don't you cry first, and then we'll go home."

Suwen opened her red and swollen eyes and asked him in a hoarse voice, "Let's go to the hospital first... to see if any bones are broken."

Lu Zheng's eyes dimmed for a moment, and he seemed to ponder for a while before smiling and patting her head: "It's alright, I know whether I'm hurt or not. It's just a superficial wound, you can help me apply some medicine when we get back."

Suwen looked at him with some doubt, but since the injured person was the most vulnerable, she couldn't persuade him in the end and obediently climbed into the driver's seat to drive.

The journey wasn't long, but no one spoke a word the entire way. Lu Zheng seemed very tired, leaning back in his seat with his eyes closed. The carriage was so quiet you could almost hear your own heartbeat.
