Chapter 1022: Waste of Bullets
Jiang Yao stared at Lu Xingzhi with her round eyes. Was that guy for real? Was he really that impatient? So impatient that he even believed the legend of the child-giving lantern?
“In the next few days, think about your school’s arrangements. I am confident that I can get you pregnant before school starts!” Lu Xingzhi patted Jiang Yao’s head.
Jiang Yao was speechless. How much confidence did the man have in himself? Or did he have a lot of confidence in the child-giving lantern? Some people had been thinking about children for years!
“It’s settled. Close your eyes and sleep.” After he talked to Jiang Yao, all the depression in Lu Xingzhi’s heart lifted.
He was happy that Jiang Yao would accommodate him. He had proposed to have a child as soon as possible. She did not throw a tantrum, nor did she reject him. Instead, she talked about their future child as she laid in his arms. There was not a hint of pretense on her face, and there was not a hint of hypocrisy. Just like him, she yearned for their future child, and she was willing to discuss that with him.
Regardless of whether she would have a child soon, her att.i.tude really made Lu Xingzhi’s heart soften. She truly loved him, so she would give in to him unconditionally.
His wife would be his for the rest of her life. She could only be his.
Even if there were people who would miss her in the world, she would always be Lu Xingzhi’s wife and the only woman who would bear a child with him.
Lu Xingzhi woke up early the next day. Jiang Yao had gone to the city to buy some vegetables the previous day so they could start their cooking. Jiang Yao waited for Lu Xingzhi to finish cooking before she left the bedroom.
When she washed up and went to the dining table, she saw Moe sitting on the chair at the dining table. There was breakfast in front of him, just like the one she and Lu Xingzhi had. The only difference was that the portion was smaller than Lu Xingzhi’s, but it was much larger than hers.
Jiang Yao rubbed her eyes. She felt that the scene was a little surreal. The man had wanted to chop Moe’s head off the previous day. So why would he make Moe’s breakfast?
“You two have reconciled?” Jiang Yao glanced at Moe from her seat and then looked at Lu Xingzhi. “Aren’t you going to kill Moe?”
“It’s a waste of bullets,” Lu Xingzhi replied as he handed Jiang Yao a pair of chopsticks.
Moe had been swaying his tail before he suddenly stopped; he had heard Lu Xingzhi’s words. Then, he pulled his tail back and put it down obediently.
He would always feel threatened by the gun any time he climbed back through the window. So even though he heard Lu Xingzhi say that it was a waste of bullets to shoot at him, he would still be obedient.
Moe did not plan to use his speed to compete with Lu Xingzhi’s gun. After all, if the man lost, it would be a matter of a bullet. On the other hand, if he were to fail, then it would be a matter of a cat’s life.
“Did the two of you agree to coexist peacefully from now on?” Jiang Yao was amused. She did not hear any truth in Lu Xingzhi’s words about wasting bullets. She only took Lu Xingzhi’s casual reply as a joke.
“From now on, Moe can follow you wherever you go, but don’t let anyone, including Ah Lu and Big Ke, discover that he is different. Just let them treat Moe as your pet. Moe’s claws are very sharp. It is a very aggressive weapon.” Lu Xingzhi looked at the wound on the back of his hand and thought of the person who Moe’s claws had disfigured; he admired the weapon discreetly.
