Chapter 289: Chapter 289 Thank You for Taking This Slap for Me

They joked and laughed their way home, but as soon as they arrived, their family noticed something was wrong.

"You, what’s wrong with you?"

The second brother’s wife was the first to notice Xiaoxiao’s disheveled appearance. When she had left, she was dressed impeccably, but now her hair was a mess and her clothes dusted with dirt, looking as though she had been in a fight.

"Mom." As soon as Yang Liuliu saw her mother, she opened her arms for a hug.

The second brother’s wife took her daughter into her arms and heard her mimic, "Auntie Three got into a fight at the square, she’s so fierce."

Xiaoxiao’s scuffle in the square was bound to spread throughout the village soon, hiding it would be impossible. Xiaoxiao shook her arm, "Hehe, it’s nothing, just getting some exercise."

"..." Yang Ming looked at his wife’s state, getting some exercise? She did have a way with words. His wife had certainly made a name for herself this time.

Yang Guangguang narrated the incident to the second aunt, and upon hearing it, the second brother’s wife immediately became anxious, "What? Someone bullied my Liuliu? Wait and see, I’ll deal with them."

"..." Second sister-in-law, can we not add more chaos to the mix?

"Second sister-in-law, I’ve already beaten her, so there’s no need for you to go. Our child isn’t hurt at all."

Only then did the second brother’s wife hold back from storming out, "Then you two go rest in your room."

Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming returned to their room. As she entered, she plopped down at the table and glanced over at the bronze mirror on it.

My God, she was startled by her own image. She had actually walked the whole way with her hair looking like an explosion.

Her perfect image, completely ruined.

"Husband."

While Yang Ming was outside fetching water for his wife, he heard her call and entered the room with a basin of water, asking worriedly, "What’s wrong?"

"Nothing, just scared myself."

"..." Did his wife get startled by just that?

He set down the basin, "So freshen up quickly."

Xiaoxiao obediently washed and combed her hair, and then she saw her loving husband handing her clothes.

"Wife, take off your outer clothes and put on this set."

Only then did Xiaoxiao notice her clothes, dirty from rolling on the ground. She took the clean clothes and changed into them obediently.

"Wife."

"Hmm?"

"Let’s not get into fights in the future, okay?" Today, Yang Ming was genuinely frightened. His wife couldn’t be pulled away when she was fighting. She had the upper hand this time, but what if she hadn’t managed to beat the woman, or what if she had gotten hurt?

"Okay, I’ll be more careful next time." Xiaoxiao turned to look at her loving husband’s face, which still showed a bit of swelling, a clear indicator of how hard the plump woman had hit him.

Her hand instinctively reached out to touch her loving husband’s face, and tears of concern gathered in her eyes, "Does it hurt?"

"No, it doesn’t."

"Thank you for fending off that slap for me."

"..."

No sooner had Xiaoxiao spoken did she turn away — she was afraid her loving husband would notice the tears that had fallen. "Wait here, I’ll go boil an egg for you to put on your face."

"Okay."

After his wife left, Yang Ming felt a bit dazed. His wife had just touched his face and thanked him, moved because he had taken a slap for her, hadn’t she?

In no time, Xiaoxiao boiled the egg. She returned to the room and, peeling off the shell, wrapped the egg in a handkerchief and carefully rolled it over Yang Ming’s face. Her cautious manner caused Yang Ming to feel dazed once again.

All he could feel was his wife’s face very close to his own, and the sound of his own heart pounding.
