Staring at the man in front of her, Yue Ling felt she couldn’t breathe. His lashes were beautiful and long. This man is very alluring. Like a drug that keeps her wanting to be closer to him.
With blushing red cheeks, she gently pushes him. However, Lu Tian didn’t budge one bit. He slowly lift his head and pecks her forehead, then finally, he reluctantly let her go.
"The food is almost done."
Yue Ling bashfully nod her head and leaves the kitchen with her burning cheeks. This is too much for her poor heart to handle.
Coming to the livingroom, Inu jumps from his bed and races to his mommy. His expression full of loving and cheer.
"How’s my baby? You did a great job!"
Yue Ling stroke Inu’s soft fur and scratch the back of his ears. She loves her furry baby the most. Rubbing her head against Inu’s, she tells him how much she loves him.
"I love my baby the most!"
In the kitchen, Lu Tian frown when he heard Yue Ling say Inu did a job. He didn’t hear her tell him to do any tricks or anything that resulted in a praise. Then, hearing his wife express her love to the enemy, Lu Tian’s brows furrow more. His hand tightens on the wooden cooking utensil.
She doesn’t praise and tell him she loves him!
Hearing the sound of wood snapping, Yue Ling turn her head to the kitchen. She frown and stands up. Walking in the direction of the kitchen, she sees Lu Tian standing in front of the sink. The sink water was on and his broad back was facing her. Walking to him, she tilt her head trying to see what he is doing. However, Lu Tian slightly moves his body and blocks her view.
Seeing this, Yue Ling narrows her eyes in suspicion. She lift her hand and pinch his waist.
Lu Tian winch at the sudden pinch. He looks at Yue Ling and glares at her with bullets. No one has ever done a childish move as to pinch him! Yet, she dares to! If it was someone else, he would have put a bullet to their head.
He takes a deep breath and continues what he was doing.
Yue Ling stare at the man, now she is very curious. Just what is he doing that he won’t let her see?
"What are you doing?"
She ask him like a noisy kid, bugging someone. Lu Tian glance at her from the corner of his eyes.
"Nothing. Just washing my hands."
"What are you doing now?"
"Still washing my hands."
Yue Ling squint her eyes more. Did he really think she was an idiot? She heard the sound already. If she looks from the other side, there’s no doubt he’d block her again. Pursing her lips, she thinks of an idea.
Watching him attentively, she walks to the stove, and switch the fire off. She curl her lips upwards as she thought of something.
Just like her plan, Lu Tian quickly turn slightly around to her.
"What’s wrong? Did you get burn?"
Seeing him do so, Yue Ling quickly moves. Ignoring his naked upper body, she wrap her arms around his waist and adjust her body under his arm.
Lu Tian was speechless. Looking at the the woman hugging him, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Did she lie just to do this?
Yue Ling didn’t look at the man. Her eyes stare unblinkingly at Lu Tian’s right hand under the sink water.
Lu Tian had a slightly deep three inch cut on his palm. His blood was being washed by water.
Looking at her, Lu Tian felt slightly guilty for trying to hide it from her. He didn’t know when or how he snapped the wooden utensil, but the top half deeply cut his palm.
"Uh... it was a small cut."
Yue Ling quickly grab his wrist and drag him to the living room. While doing so, she wrap a towel on his hand to hold the bleeding.
"You call that a small cut?! What if I got shot? Can I say it was a small cut?! Hm?!"
Lu Tian’s eyes darkened when he heard her say if she was to get shot. That will never happen because he won’t let that happen! However, hearing her worried tone, one corner of his mouth curl up and he stares at Yue Ling’s back.
"I’m alright. Really."
She huffed and puffed. She turn to him and press his shoulder to make him sit on the couch. Looking at Lu Tian with cold eyes, she cross her arms over her chest.
Lu Tian force a smile and tries to stand, but Yue Ling cuts his words and point to the couch.
Like he had become a dog, Lu Tian sits back down immediately. He knows his wife is mad and he cannot afford to make her even more mad.
Yue Ling glares at him, then quickly, she stomps her feet to the study room. Grabbing a first aid kit, she stomps back out to the living room. She slams the first aid kit on the coffee table and sits down.
Lu Tian watched her every move. Looking down at his towel wrapped palm. He couldn’t help but swallow. Would she purposely put pressure on his cut since she’s upset?
Watching from his cozy bed, if Inu was human, he would be laughing out loud and rolling on the floor. His enemy was in big trouble.
Oblivious to her baby’s thoughts, Yue Ling grabs Lu Tian’s hand and slowly unwrap the towel.
"Next time, don’t keep any wounds hidden from me."
Lu Tian nod and stare indifferently as Yue Ling starts her medical work on his hand. Watching her every move, his lip curl into a warm smile. He didn’t think the accidentally cut on his palm would get his wife’s full attention.
Thinking, he wonders if he should get more wounds..... Then his eyes lit up with an idea.
Looking at blood stained towel and the deep cut, Yue Ling sighs. The bleeding had subdue, so she cleans the cut with a wet towel, then apply an antibiotic ointment on the cut. Next, she puts a gauze pad on the cut then she wraps it neatly with a gauze.
Lu Tian watched Yue Ling bandage his wound. The more he watched her movements, the more he frowns. Her movements were quick and looked like a medical expert. Like someone who’s done this a lot of times.
Finished, Yue Ling closed the first aid kit and looks up at Lu Tian.
"Try not to get it wet. Let it heal before you start using your right hand again."
"I’ll go set up the table so we can eat."
Yue Ling stare at the cold looking man. She sighs again before going to the kitchen. She really does not know what to do with this man. How can he be so clumsy?
From the floor to ceiling window, Inu’s low growl catches Lu Tian’s attention. He looks at the dog and lift his chin up with a smile.
His expression mocking Inu, ’Ahah, I got my wife’s attention.’
Inu glares at the evil peasant, he scoff and close his eyes.
’Just you wait, you evil peasant!’
Yue Ling calls for Lu Tian after she finished setting the table. She sat down on one side as Lu Tian sits across from her.
Holding a bowl, she puts rice in it and place it in front of Lu Tian. Then she gets herself a bowl of rice, and she starts eating.
Just when she took her first bite, she frown.
Why is he not eating?
Raising her head, she looks at the man and she was dumbfounded.
Lu Tian at this moment held sulking expression. He pout his lips and looks directly at his wife. Like a child who was upset.
Yue Ling tilt her head in confusion, "What’s wrong?"
"I can’t use my right hand."
Yue Ling blinked her eyes and stare flabbergasted at the man. Is he serious? He can’t use his right hand, but what about his left?
She puts her chopsticks down and sighs.
"What do you want me to do? Feed you?"
Like fireworks sparking brightly, Lu Tian’s eyes lit up. That was exactly his idea. However, he didn’t show his feeling. Keeping a straight face, he nod his head.
