Chapter 148: Come, Use Your Strength

Although Hu Meili was gone, Gu Zhenhua took over her responsibilities.

He put firewood into the stove while instructing, “You go to the city with Aunt Hua to play, don’t go to too remote places… Remember to find someone if you need anything, don’t rush ahead… Come back early in the afternoon, it’s not safe on the road at night…”

“Yes, yes, yes, okay, okay, okay.”

Knowing she would be nagged, Lin Xiangnan was prepared. So she simply emptied her mind, letting the words go in one ear and out the other, focusing only on making her pumpkin cakes.

She automatically blocked out Gu Zhenhua’s voice, and unconsciously blocked out Gu Zhenhua himself.

As soon as the pumpkin cakes were fried, she carried them out.

When she went out, she directly picked up the one that was fried the most crispy, took a bite, and a crisp sound could be heard, “Mmm… So fragrant. Mom, Lao Liu, eat pumpkin cakes.”

Lin Xiangnan placed the plate on the table and called everyone to eat, but when she scanned the room, she didn’t see Gu Zhenhua and suddenly came back to her senses.

Gu Zhenhua was still in the kitchen.

Turning around, Lin Xiangnan discovered that Gu Zhenhua was right behind her, not saying a word.

“You don’t even listen when I talk to you, and you still give me the cold shoulder.” Gu Zhenhua began to complain when Lin Xiangnan looked at him.

He had been honestly tending the fire, only speaking a few extra words, and hadn’t done anything else. Then he saw Lin Xiangnan carrying the plate out, not even glancing at him.

Lin Xiangnan was too embarrassed to say she had blocked him out, so she could only dryly say, “You’re mistaken, I wasn’t giving you the cold shoulder.”

“Okay. You say you weren’t giving me the cold shoulder, then you weren’t. After we eat, we’ll have a good practice session.”

Gu Zhenhua planned to give Lin Xiangnan a taste of his strength later, let her see the dangers of the world, have some respect, and not be so reckless, daring to touch anything dangerous.

This time, they managed to win against the car theft gang, thanks to Aunt Hua’s help. Next time, they might not be so lucky.

“Okay. Practice, practice.”

Lin Xiangnan thought she must have agreed carelessly while being distracted, but she wasn’t planning to back out.

After being mocked by Aunt Hua for her fighting skills during yesterday’s fight, Lin Xiangnan had wanted to make up for it.

After dinner in the evening, Gu Zhenhua moved the clutter in the yard and prepared to spar with Lin Xiangnan, then give her targeted guidance.

Hu Meili, who had scolded the most fiercely during the day, was the most worried now, nagging incessantly.

“Zhenhua, be careful, don’t hurt anyone, Xiao Nan is a girl, don’t use too much force.”

“You two are really something, you just know how to cause trouble. Why don’t you just stay home and stop going out? Why do you have to go through all this trouble? Even if you’re good at fighting, what’s the point? Two fists can’t fight four hands…”

Lin Xiangnan reminded helplessly, “Mom, just watch, don’t talk and affect my performance.”

Gu Zhenhua, a trained fighter, was already a formidable opponent, and Lin Xiangnan didn’t dare to be careless.

“Come, you hit me, I’ll take it.” Gu Zhenhua beckoned to Lin Xiangnan.

Thinking of her strength, Lin Xiangnan didn’t go all out, only using five percent of her power.

This was her own husband, she couldn’t really hurt him.

Gu Zhenhua initially didn’t take it seriously, wanting to take it head-on, but as soon as he touched Lin Xiangnan’s hand, he muttered a “Holy crap” in his heart, then looked at Lin Xiangnan in shock.

After being married for over a year, he learned for the first time that Lin Xiangnan had this kind of strength.

Forget about giving Lin Xiangnan a taste of his strength, he would be lucky if he didn’t lose face in front of her.

He was surprised, and Lin Xiangnan was also surprised.

Her fists had punched countless people, always invincible, but she didn’t expect Gu Zhenhua to be able to withstand it.

“Again.” Lin Xiangnan excitedly announced.

After assessing Lin Xiangnan’s strength, Gu Zhenhua didn’t dare to take it head-on, only using agility to dodge Lin Xiangnan’s attacks.

The two chased each other around the yard, and then Gu Zhenhua took advantage of Lin Xiangnan’s inattention and locked her in his arms.

“Again. I wasn’t using my full strength just now.” Lin Xiangnan was unconvinced, struggling in Gu Zhenhua’s arms, “And you took advantage of me just now.”

Gu Zhenhua couldn’t help but chuckle, “Are you really trying to punch me?”

Asked like that, Lin Xiangnan’s momentum immediately calmed down, muttering, “I didn’t want to hit you, I just felt a little unwilling to lose.”

Hu Meili watched from the side, couldn’t help but roll her eyes, was this sparring or flirting? She had been worried about Lin Xiangnan getting hurt, but now her eyes were the ones getting hurt.

“Alright, alright, you two practice, I’ll take the kids back to the room to sleep.” Hu Meili turned and left, taking Gu Zhenjun with her.

They didn’t want to be light bulbs in the yard.

Without anyone else around, Lin Xiangnan didn’t have to worry about her image anymore, she pulled Gu Zhenhua’s hand away and pretended to choke him.

“You choked me just now! And you used so much force! I was scared to death.”

“I didn’t use much force just now, you’re twisting the truth.” Gu Zhenhua stood still, letting Lin Xiangnan touch his neck, not resisting.

“No matter. I’m going to choke you back.”

Lin Xiangnan’s hand caressed Gu Zhenhua’s neck, her index finger tracing his Adam’s apple. A layer of thin sweat appeared on his bronze skin, looking very wild.

Tsk~ He’s missing a tie, Lin Xiangnan thought flirtatiously.

She looked up and mischievously asked Gu Zhenhua, “Did you choke me here just now?”

Lin Xiangnan’s finger tapped his Adam’s apple.

“Yes.”

Gu Zhenhua’s throat bobbed, he reached out and pulled Lin Xiangnan closer, the two of them pressed together.

Lin Xiangnan pushed his shoulder, unable to move him.

“Let go, or I’ll choke you.” Lin Xiangnan threatened in a soft voice, her hot breath spraying on Gu Zhenhua’s neck, making him restless.

“Hmm. Choke me.” Gu Zhenhua put Lin Xiangnan’s left hand on his neck, his right hand on her waist, suggesting, “You can not only choke me, but also strangle me. Come on, use your strength.”

Gu Zhenhua asked Lin Xiangnan to strangle him, but he hugged her so tightly that she could barely breathe.

Lin Xiangnan was speechless, in this position, how could she use any strength.
