Chapter 37: Protective Masculinity

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

There was protective masculinity in the way he expressed his concern, and her heart melted away in raptures. “Yes, they did,” she teased.

“Who did?” Lu Beixiao became angry upon hearing the wrongs that she had suffered in her family. He gave his cigarette a tight squeeze as he waited for her response.

He meant it. He would not mind seeking revenge for her.

Ye Qiao understood his rage. She could almost picture his angry face in her mind. He was still the same man, with the same tendency to protect her. No matter what she did to thwart or push him away, he remained protective of her under all circumstances. Absolutely no one could point a finger at her.

He came to her rescue when Ye Cheng once reprimanded her for something that she did with Shen Xichuan.

“Ye Cheng, that’s enough! I don’t need your disapproval of my wife!”

“Lu Beixiao, open your eyes! She desperately needs to be taught a lesson!” Lu Beixiao’s attitude dumbfounded Ye Cheng.

The two ended up in a fight back then.

Ye Qiao’s eyes became teary at the thought of their bitter past, but she hid it away with a smile. “Xiao, I was just joking. No one has the guts to bully me when grandpa is in the house! I haven’t been to my hometown for six years, so I figured that it might be a good time to visit my foster parents, my siblings, and my childhood friends.”

Lu Beixiao had not expected that she would make such a joke to tease him.

“What if my life with the Ye became really difficult? What are you going to do, then?” She waited happily for an answer.

“Leave them and come to me. You can bet your life on me,” he answered with a firm stand. Those words sounded even more reassuring than saying ‘I love you,’ which reminded her of a famous scene in Stephen Chow’s movie.

Their love was decreed by fate, and they were destined to meet in many lifetimes to come. She had just been reincarnated, and in a matter of days, they had already fallen in love with each other.

“In that case, I wish I was bullied,” she sweetly replied.

“I wasn’t joking with you,” he had to intrude on a note of seriousness so that she would not think that he was just joking.

She had always been unashamed to express her sweet nothings in a playful way and acted as though she was attracted to him. However, he was not worried about it. Even if she was just playing around, he was confident that she would fall in love with him, eventually.

“Xiao, I wasn’t joking with you, either. Please don’t get mad. By the way, it’s late now. Where’s this call coming from?” She quickly switched the conversation to a lighter subject.

In the past, all she knew about the boy who lived next door was that he was assigned to join the army. Little did she know that he was actually a proud member of the Special Forces who only dealt with high-risk, top-secret missions.

She found out about his commitment to the military much later, but she was never told of anything about his missions. Those were highly classified information. Even on the day she died, the truth about Lu Beixiao’s death remained untold. Xu Yi never let any of the secrets slip.

Lu Beixiao, upon hearing her question, pursed his lips in a self-satisfied smirk, for he had never taken the rules very seriously.

“An office in the main building,” he softly said.

“Did you mean the instructors’ office? You slid into the office, didn’t you? Aren’t you worried that you might get caught?” His disorderly conduct was astonishing, for Ye Qiao knew how strict and reputable the instructors were.

“I might get caught? I didn’t spend three years here only to end up getting caught. Speaking of which, I’m currently smoking the cigarettes that the old man hid in the drawer,” he answered with a deep pleasure. He did not say it just to impress her. Instead, he wanted her to relax so that they could continue their conversation.

“Does your father know how arrogant you are?”

At first, she thought that her messages would distract him from his work and get him into trouble. Now that she knew he would be all right, her concerns were unnecessary.

“My men and I demolished his base in the last tactical exercise,” Lu Beixiao calmly said. After all, it was the truth. He was not afraid of his father.

No one in the world could really cause him fear.

“Lu Beixiao, you seem a little overwhelming for me to handle. I’m now a little worried for myself. How am I going to spend my life with you? Am I supposed to revolve my life around you?” Ye Qiao nonchalantly said.
