Even though it was already late, Lu Xingzhi did not rest until his wife called him. He was still reading in the study by himself. As soon as his phone rang, he immediately put the book down and picked up the phone.
“I just knew that you’re not asleep yet.” Jiang Yao knew Lu Xingzhi would wait for her call; she could tell by how quickly he picked up his phone. She felt inexplicably happy when she thought about that.
Lu Xingzhi ignored her. He only responded with a low grunt and asked if Jiang Jie’s wedding was lively.
“Of course, it was lively. We had 13 tables in the courtyard, and they were filled to the brim. Sister-in-law looked very beautiful today. She came in a tractor for the wedding reception. She looked a little cold from the wind, and it got very interesting during the reception. Second Brother was so bad—he hung a piece of apple and told Eldest Brother and Sister-in-law to eat it together. He made Sister-in-law blush. Her friends also asked Eldest Brother to read a love letter, and he did it happily. It was entertaining.”
Jiang Yao’s tone was very light when she spoke of the wedding. One could hear the fun she must have had during her brother’s day to get married.
However, after that, Jiang Yao sighed again. “When I saw the lively atmosphere during Eldest Brother and Sister-in-law’s wedding, I suddenly thought about our marriage. I basically ruined that day, and I feel a little sorry for you. Xingzhi, why don’t you marry me again?”
Lu Xingzhi huffed. “Well, it’s always the same. We’re an old married couple now. Why do I need to marry you again? If you think those games are fun, then when you come, we can play it in private.”
When he married Jiang Yao back then, they had canceled their wedding night. He carried two young boys and rolled a few times on the new bed and then gave them red packets and said some auspicious words. Jiang Yao was in a bad mood at that time, so he did not let his brothers make a scene. He was afraid that it would be awkward if Jiang Yao did not cooperate or that she would get angry and cry.
If Jiang Yao wanted to play wedding games, Lu Xingzhi would be happy to play them with her. It would be interesting to play them in private. When he thought of that, Lu Xingzhi’s heart itched.
Lu Xingzhi wanted to say that it would not be difficult to have another wedding. However, would it not be a waste of effort if she changed her mind about the wedding?
He thought it would be safer to wait until she graduated and perhaps had a child before they had another wedding.
Lu Xingzhi did not feel much regret about his wedding with Jiang Yao. It was the happiest occasion in his life. He did not even mind the other issues.
“Play in private?” Jiang Yao curled her lips. “Who wants to play with you in private?”
“If you’d like to play in front of others, then we can call Fourth Brother and Fifth Brother to come and watch.” Lu Xingzhi chuckled softly.
Jiang Yao chose to change the topic sensibly and brought up the matter about Zhou Xiaoxia.
When Lu Xingzhi heard that Jiang Yao had planned to go to Yuan city the next day, his laughter died. He frowned slightly. Then, after he thought about it for a few seconds, he said, “I’ll ask our lawyer, Mr Jiang, to go to Yuan City tomorrow to meet up with you. When you get there, tell Ah Lu and Big Ke to investigate the problem with Zhou Xiaoxia’s sister first. After that, give me a call so that I can help you with the decision.”
Lu Xingzhi did not have any jurisdiction in Yuan City, and therefore he was not familiar with its situation. Fortunately, Jiang Yao still had Ah Lu and Big Ke with her, so he did not have to worry about her safety.
