Chapter 59

Having achieved her goal, Yu Xiangnian asked Cheng Jingmo to stop, and the two got off the bicycle.

“Jingmo, my foot hurts,” she said in a delicate voice.

Cheng Jingmo got goosebumps from this endearment. His brow twitched as he stepped forward to support her.

He held her arm with one hand and wrapped his other arm around her waist, whispering, “Yu Xiangnian, stop it. All the families are watching.”

He had already guessed the reason Yu Xiangnian had come here.

Yu Xiangnian suspected Wu Xiaomin had reported her, and with her temperament, she couldn’t swallow this anger.

Cheng Jingmo made an immediate decision. He had to prevent Yu Xiangnian from causing trouble, or everyone in the family compound, even the entire military district, would know about their private business dealings.

Yu Xiangnian raised her eyelids and gave him a sideways glance.

She cursed inwardly: You backup plan, always protecting your sweetheart. She nearly got me into state trouble.

But she still needed Cheng Jingmo to cooperate with her act, so she suppressed her dissatisfaction and softly said, “I just want to get some medicine. Help me inside.”

Cheng Jingmo scrutinized her for a while before helping her inside.

Yu Xiangnian lifted her chin and walked past the onlookers with a look of disdain.

She was annoyed that her foot prevented her from walking with the grandeur of an empress leaving the palace!

It took Yu Xiangnian several minutes to walk just a dozen meters.

The onlookers cursed her arrogant and pretentious manner multiple times in their hearts!

Wu Xiaomin cursed inwardly: Why doesn’t she break her leg!

Yu Xiangnian sat down in the clinic, followed by the onlookers.

Wu Xiaomin smiled and said, “Comrade Yu, where are you feeling unwell?”

Worried Yu Xiangnian would cause a scene, Cheng Jingmo quickly answered, “She’s not unwell. We just need some medicine.”

“What kind of medicine?” Wu Xiaomin asked.

Yu Xiangnian glared at Cheng Jingmo, warning him to say less, then smiled and said, “Dr. Wu, your complexion looks different today. Are you wearing makeup?”

Wu Xiaomin touched her face in confusion. “No, I’m not.”

She was already upset. If she had known Cheng Jingmo was coming, she would have dressed up.

Yu Xiangnian looked so beautiful today that the onlookers’ eyes practically glued to her.

Yu Xiangnian’s smile grew wider. “No wonder. I was wondering why your face looks so dark today.”

Cheng Jingmo bit his lip to stifle his laughter.

In Nancheng, everyone’s skin was like this due to the abundant sunlight.

But not Yu Xiangnian. Even the sun favored her, and she remained always so fair.

Her complexion was unmatched in all of Nancheng.

Wu Xiaomin’s face darkened even more, but she calmly retorted, “Your face is white only because of powder.”

Yu Xiangnian confidently raised her face. “That also depends on who’s applying it. Some people apply it and end up looking like a monkey’s butt. It’s hideous.”

Wu Xiaomin dug her nails into her palm to stay calm. “Not everyone is like you, no job and no housework, just spending all day figuring out how to dress up.”

Although both were smiling, Cheng Jingmo could sense the hostility in their words.

At this moment, Yu Xiangnian grabbed his arm. “I have to thank my good husband. Even if I’m idle, he can still support me. This lipstick was a gift from Cheng Jingmo.”

Yu Xiangnian puckered her lips at Wu Xiaomin. “Do you think this lipstick color looks good?”

Wu Xiaomin rolled her eyes disdainfully. “Haven’t you seen your own mouth?” she said, opening a drawer and taking out a mirror, which she placed heavily in front of Yu Xiangnian.

Yu Xiangnian glanced at the mirror and nearly fainted from anger.

The lipstick on her mouth had somehow smudged to the right corner, making her look like A Zhen from the movie “Kung Fu.”

It must have happened just now on the bike, when she leaned against Cheng Jingmo.

The more she had flaunted herself earlier, the more she now wished she could disappear!

Before she could disappear, she wanted to take a forty-meter-long sword and chop Cheng Jingmo to pieces!

That dog of a man must have seen it earlier and yet said nothing!

She turned to Cheng Jingmo, her eyes like daggers.

To her surprise, he pulled a handkerchief from his shirt pocket and gently wiped the smudged lipstick from her mouth.

The envious and jealous gasps of the onlookers reached her ears.

Who had spread the rumor that this couple was not getting along and was going to divorce?

Did this look like they were getting divorced?

Cheng Jingmo’s handsome features were so close, seriously wiping her mouth.

Yu Xiangnian’s face turned red, even her neck flushed pink, and she wanted to turn away.

What was this scene about?

So many people were watching!

Cheng Jingmo held her face and softly said, “Don’t move, it’s not clean yet.”

His actions were so gentle, his expression focused, and his eyes were filled with a deep tenderness.

Yu Xiangnian’s mind went blank when she met his beautiful eyes.

Wu Xiaomin, watching their affectionate display, nearly ground her teeth to dust!

This Yu Xiangnian was much more cunning than she remembered.

When no one was around, Yu Xiangnian would reveal her true nature, full of sarcasm and threats.

But in front of others, Yu Xiangnian always spoke to her in a gentle tone and created the appearance of being deeply in love with Cheng Jingmo.

Maybe even the smudged lipstick at the corner of her mouth was done on purpose, just to put on a show of conjugal affection for everyone!

Slut! Two-faced snake!

“It’s clean now,” Cheng Jingmo said, putting away the handkerchief. Yu Xiangnian turned her head back, ready to continue the fight.

Hmm? Where had she left off?

Right! Lipstick! What should she say next?

Her mind was foggy, her rhythm completely disrupted!

Cheng Jingmo put the handkerchief back in his pocket and asked, “What medicine do you want to get?”

Yu Xiangnian realized today’s fight couldn’t continue. If it did, she would lose.

“Cold and fever medicine,” she said offhandedly.

Cheng Jingmo told Wu Xiaomin, “Please give us some cold and fever medicine, Comrade Wu.”

Cheng Jingmo took the medicine, paid, and rode off on the bicycle with Yu Xiangnian. The onlookers gradually dispersed.

As the wind blew, Yu Xiangnian’s mind slowly cleared.

She stared at the military-green back in front of her, suspecting: That dog of a man did it on purpose!

To protect his sweetheart, he even resorted to a beauty trick!

He completely disrupted her plan and rhythm!

Today was barely a draw. She would find another chance to deal with Wu Xiaomin.

Cheng Jingmo honestly hadn’t done it on purpose!

He had been worried that Yu Xiangnian would cause a scene at the clinic, but she acted contrary to expectations, remaining soft-spoken and smiling the whole time.

Since she wasn’t causing trouble, he was relieved.

He figured she could vent on Wu Xiaomin a bit.

But then her flaunted lipstick smudged, and seeing she was about to lose, he just wanted to help her out.

Little did he know that after he cleaned her lipstick, she’d lose her fighting spirit.

He could only get the medicine and take her away.

“Cheng Jingmo, my lipstick was smudged, why didn’t you tell me?” Yu Xiangnian angrily hit his back.
