Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 972 - Chapter 972 Chapter 971 Impressive

Chapter 972: Chapter 971: Impressive Chapter 972: Chapter 971: Impressive Actually, he wasn’t without his insecurities; after all, he was six or seven years older than his young wife! In their eyes, the young wife was just a girl, which surely made him feel old!

“By the way, why did you say that about Gu Qiu earlier? How can you look down on people like that?”

Huo Beijiang raised an eyebrow, “When have I ever looked down on anyone? I just have too much respect for Zuo Xinyao. Gu Qiu is too naive; she’ll never escape Zuo Xinyao’s grasp at Five Finger Mountain, so none of her assumptions will hold up.”

Nan Fei: “…”

So the quarrel just now was all a misunderstanding! Okay, it seems they indeed didn’t let Bei Jiang finish his sentence. But luckily he didn’t speak, otherwise Gu Qiu would have been even angrier.

“I’ll go get you a glass of water.” Nan Fei dropped the words and hurried to the kitchen, nearly fleeing in panic.

Ah! Love really is a terrifying thing. It truly can lead to one’s downfall! She had never been like this before.

She had never craved someone’s lips so much before, and the joy that welled up from the depths of her heart when he kissed her was something she had never experienced in her past life. Now, suddenly feeling it, she was a bit panicked.

Nan Fei found that the more time she spent with Bei Jiang, the more she liked him.

As time went on, her affection grew day by day.

Strange! Isn’t it said that love fades with time? Why is it the complete opposite for her?

Huo Beijiang was lying on the couch, on what was a very large sectional, but his tall frame and long legs meant that he had to bend his legs onto the couch’s armrest to fit.

Watching the young wife’s retreating back, he felt an unprecedented sense of happiness. He hardly dared imagine, if not for Nan Fei, whether he could carry on; what meaning would all he had still hold?

“What do you want to drink? Boiled water, or tea?” Nan Fei’s voice came, interrupting Bei Jiang’s thoughts.

“What kind of tea do you have?”

This guy really is picky, “West Lake Longjing, melon seed tea.”

“Forget it! No tea, just boiled water!” His voice was so full of disdain that he didn’t even bother to hide it, sounding incredibly wronged.

Nan Fei pursed her lips, almost wishing she could punch someone.

“At least you’re sensible enough to know that it’s best not to drink tea when you’re injured.”

“Heh heh…” Bei Jiang lay on the couch, laughing contentedly, “Wife, I’m injured now, you definitely have to take good care of me!”

“It’s your own fault for not taking care of yourself. If you dare get hurt again, when you come back, you’re going to kneel and scrub the washboard.” Nan Fei came over with the boiled water and handed it to him personally. She watched him drink half and then took the glass back, setting it on the side table.

Bei Jiang looked at her with a strange expression,

Making her feel a chill down her spine, “What are you looking at?”

“I’m looking at how incredibly brave you are, impressive!”

“Are you mocking me?”

“No, this is praise, I married a wife who is full of courage, it’s my honor.”

“Oh really! You’re quite something, Huo Beijiang, daring to mock me.” She could tell he was being sarcastic! Was it just because she told him to kneel and scrub the washboard? He actually went around the bend to call her audacious.

“This is praise.”

“Then tell me, will you kneel and scrub the washboard or not?” Nan Fei crossed her arms and looked down at him imperiously. “If I tell you to kneel, would you dare not to?”

Bei Jiang said nothing, just lying on the couch, his eyes sparkling with amusement as he looked at her, seemingly in a very pleasant mood.

Seeing him like this, Nan Fei’s high-suspended heart finally settled down.

“You should sleep for a bit this afternoon. I’m going out to take care of some things. How about we eat dinner together when I come back in the evening?”
