"What do you mean by this? There is nothing wrong with me. I am just concerned about you." Ouyang Ming haughtily replied.He could not believe her. He was trying to fight for her but she herself was not interested in his help. When she will be treated like dirt again then she will realize his importance. For now, he has to hear her tantrums.
"Concerned about her? Why? She doesn"t need your concern. I am there for her." Lu Jian"s icy eyes threw daggers at him.
This man was blatantly disregarding him as Zhen Xiu"s husband.
What did he mean by his words?
Does he think that she will be mistreated here like she was before?
Does he think that he is not suitable for her?
Why was he asking these ridiculous questions and creating a difference between him and his wife?
Lu Jian could not understand his approach. "Say clearly, I want to know why do you hate me so much?"
Jiang Wui who was the target just before was now enjoying his drink and watching the live show of "LOVE AND VINEGAR".
"It feels nice to see a fight from a distance. Truly alluring and delightful."
Zhen Xiu threw a pillow in his direction as he smirked at them.
"You! Just wait! I will tell Shen Ya everything then we will see your scenario." Zhen Xiu said in between as she came in front of Ouyang Ming.
"So?" she furrowed her brows in annoyance "Tell me! Now."
Ouyang Ming just shrugged his shoulder as he could not believe that he was being targeted because of his obvious aversion towards Lu Jian.
"Isn"t it normal for me to treat him like s.h.i.+t after what he did to you? I just can"t understand your reaction why are you siding with him? Is your love so great that you were willing to abandon your self-respect and dignity? I never knew this Zhen Xiu!"
Lu Jian was shocked silly for a while and Jiang Wui who was enjoying on the side was like he was struck with a clap of thunder. Zhen Xiu had no idea on how to go forward from this awkward situation.
She knew that Ouyang Ming"s concern was true for her but she never tried to find his exact problem with her sudden relations.h.i.+p with her husband.
Why was he angry?
As usual, she was just thinking about herself and didn"t give a thought about other people that cared about her. Sometimes, she was ashamed of herself and the selfishness behind her actions, she could not see his feelings.
It was normal for him to think like this after all which sane woman would have a happy relations.h.i.+p with her rude and indifferent husband whose mother tried to kill her and where there were so many witches dying to get her position albeit she was happy but she didn"t think about her friends.
For Ouyang Ming without knowing her true situation, it was difficult for him to accept everything as it was. Lu Jian also realized his harsh demanding nature when he heard an apt description of himself from his ex-rival. It hurts to listen to them but frankly, he was glad that his wife Zhen Xiu has so many well-wishers that love her.
"Your worries are just a fluke of your imagination. I promise to look after her and protect her. I apologize for my past mistakes that wronged her. From now on there will be no such things like that anymore. You can trust me on this. You have my word."
Lu Jian"s confident voice gave Ouyang Ming a sense of a.s.surance that he had never felt before. His prejudice against Lu Jian was so big that he never thought Lu Jian would accept his mistakes easily and with much earnestness.
Everybody knew Lu Jian as the cold-blooded shrewd man that was arrogant to the top and didn"t like other mortals around him.
Frankly, Ouyang Ming was speechless as he didn"t know how to respond well in this circ.u.mstance? Should he be a bigger man and accept his apology?
He was confused. He could not gamble Zhen Xiu"s life like this so he was not yet ready to accept everything so easily as it reeks of fishy suspicion. Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click for visiting.
How could Lu Jian"s image be that bad if he was so good?
So Ouyang Ming"s a.s.sumptions against him were not as absolute as they were before for now. He still couldn"t see Lu Jian in a new light and wanted to believe in his impressions.
"Whatever! You should watch your back if you do something else other than your promises. I can still make your life hard. Believe it or not." He threatened Lu Jian.
Lu Jian knew that it was not easy for him to gain his forgiveness but he still wanted to try hard. Ouyang Ming was one of the few people that were close to Zhen Xiu.
"You guys are sentimental." Zhen Xiu rolled her eyes at their cheesy words, threatening and promising each other when the involved party was not that worried about her future.
"It"s like the emperor is not worried but the eunuch is…"
She stopped in the middle as Ouyang Ming glared at her heatedly promising to murder her if she ever completed the sentence.
Zhen Xiu frowned nonchalantly as she ignored his heated eyes. "Oh come on! I was joking. I have a ready-made brother working for my safety. What more could I ask for? Oh heavens! Thank you for your blessings."
The overdramatic praise fl.u.s.tered all the other men in the room. It was true that every woman is a natural-born actress. All of them believed this fact now.
Zhen Xiu saw their disbelieving look and knew that they were not taking her words seriously. She was frustrated at their naivete.
"Thank you for your presence, everyone. The party"s over; you can all go back to your places, will be going back to our bedroom to continue the night party. Sweet dreams! See you again someday! Don"t be a tube light now! Please!"
She pulled Lu Jian with her without waiting for their response. Ouyang Ming and Jiang Wui"s jaw dropped as her words reached their ears and they processed it in their drunken state.
Jiang Wui: "She...is so...daring!!!"
Ouyang Ming nodded his head in affirmation. "Absolutely shameless!!! You should properly teach Shen Ya otherwise she will affect her too. Good luck man!"
On the other side, Zhen Xiu pushed Lu Jian as soon as they left the perception of others in the room and attacked his soft lips with the idea of taking her repayment for leaving her alone in the room before.
