Chapter 1228: Where Are You Going?
Chen Feitang’s voice was not soft, causing Lu Xingzhi to pull his grip on Jiang Yao’s hand.
His emotions stirred, and he was a little angry, but it was not directed at Jiang Yao.
He turned around, and his gaze shot toward Chen Feitang’s direction like a knife. His voice was gloomy and cold as if he had crawled out of the 18 layers of h.e.l.l.
“Chen Feitang, listen carefully. I’ve asked Jiang Yao to go home, not because I don’t trust her ability but because she’s my wife. As her husband, I don’t want her to go into danger with me. To be honest, other than your marksmans.h.i.+p and skills, you can’t beat her in any other aspect.”
After a pause, Lu Xingzhi said, “If Jiang Yao were not my wife, I would be extremely satisfied with such a partner today.”
“The Chief even praised Jiang Yao’s ability. The Chief and I thought it would be great if we could persuade Jiang Yao to join the Military Academy from the Medical University. We think that Jiang Yao is a promising talent, but it’s a pity that she had rejected it.” Colonel Lin’s face was filled with regret. Then, he tugged Zhou Junmin’s sleeves and turned to his partner. “Let’s wait in the waiting hall. Our train is a few minutes earlier than Lu Xingzhi’s train. Maybe we can go check the tickets.”
Everyone was going to different cities, so their trains were at different times.
Chen Feitang was unwilling to leave. She pretended that she did not understand what Colonel Lin meant and continued to sit there.
The way Lu Xingzhi looked at her had made her scalp go numb, but she refused to leave.
Lu Xingzhi could not be bothered with Chen Feitang. He turned to look at Jiang Yao and asked in a low voice, “So you were at Tianjin City to partic.i.p.ate in the a.s.sessment the day before yesterday? You did not attend the meeting last night because you were afraid that I would find out and stop you?”
At that point, Lu Xingzhi snorted. “Fine. Even Colonel Lin and the others are helping you to hide this from me.”
“I want to go on this mission with you. I have the ability, so why shouldn’t I accept the mission? As your wife, I am more suitable than anyone else to be your partner.” Jiang Yao could hear the anger in Lu Xingzhi’s tone.
He was not angry at her, but he suppressed all his emotions. She could not see the slightest expression on his face, but she could see the raging anger in his eyes.
He was used to hiding his emotions and holding them in, but the more he acted like that, the more nervous Jiang Yao got.
“Xingzhi, if I don’t hide it from you, you definitely won’t agree to it.” Jiang Yao did not care that other people were in the service room as well. She leaned against Lu Xingzhi. “I won’t become your burden. And with you around, you won’t let me get hurt, right?”
Jiang Yao said, “And it’s only an undercover mission. If it goes well, there won’t be too much danger. We don’t have time anyway. The train is about to leave. You have to accept your new partner, Lady Lu!”
After a long while, Lu Xingzhi raised his hand angrily and knocked on Jiang Yao’s head. “Wait here!” Then, he left.
“Where are you going?” Jiang Yao chased after him.
“The breakfast on the train is not that good. I’ll go and buy you a hot breakfast.” What else could he do? It was impossible to tell her to go home. Therefore, other than protecting her and watching over her, what else could he have done?
His wife and his arrogance—would he not suffer?
