Chapter 16: You Must Listen

It was not worth sacrificing ten years of her life for such a scumbag!

Su Yunqi did not want him to do this!

“Don’t be afraid. This time, I’ll go secretly. I guarantee they won’t find any evidence.” Lu Zhao patted her small head, trying to comfort her.

With such a large build, hearing him say these words was indeed reassuring. However, at this moment, Su Yunqi felt even more uneasy.

“No! It’s not okay! If you go secretly, he will panic and do something reckless!” At the crucial moment, Su Yunqi struggled with her words. She didn’t know how to explain, so she could only act spoiled and clingy, trying to stop him from going.

“But if I don’t go, he’ll still come and make trouble. You idiot, these little bullies are the hardest to deal with. The only way to make them back off is to beat them into submission, scare them. I’m very experienced at handling this kind of thing. You don’t have to worry, I’ll take care of these people who are eyeing you, one by one.”

Lu Zhao even had the nerve to smile, and Su Yunqi was about to lose her mind!

But now that they were outside, she couldn’t say much. She could only pinch Lu Zhao’s arm, puffing her cheeks as she said angrily: “I want to go home! I don’t want to stay here!”

“Are you still feeling unwell? Let’s finish the infusion before going back.”

“No! I want to go home now!” She was being stubborn and bratty, determined to pull out the needle herself.

Lu Zhao quickly pressed her hand down, asking the nurse to come over and remove the needle. “Alright, alright, we’ll go now. We’ll go now.”

After much persuasion, Lu Zhao finally got the little princess to settle down, stopping her from pulling out the needle herself.

Once they left the hospital, Su Yunqi urged Lu Zhao to hurry home because she had something to tell him.

Lu Zhao indulged her, carrying his little wife and nearly sprinting back home, his body covered in sweat from the heat.

Lu Zhao pinched Su Yunqi’s soft, fair little face and asked indulgently, his voice loud. “What’s the matter that’s so urgent? You had to rush back to tell me? Can you say it now?”

As he spoke, he didn’t forget to go into the kitchen to pour Su Yunqi a glass of water. “Drink it. I can’t drink right now. I need to tell you something serious. You have to listen carefully. Stop being so careless and not taking it seriously!”

Su Yunqi cast him a melancholic glance, sighed deeply, and pulled Lu Zhao into the bedroom. She had to close the door to talk to him.

She was making it so mysterious.

Lu Zhao raised one thick eyebrow but played along, bending down so Su Yunqi could whisper in his ear.

“I just saw some things that will happen in the future. Really! I’m not lying to you! Are you planning to secretly go to Zheng Ye’s house and poison all the fish in his pond?”

“Oh, you guessed it? You’re so clever today?” Lu Zhao smiled.

“Be serious!” Su Yunqi’s eyes were sharp as she looked at him. She angrily covered his mouth, stopping him from speaking.

“I also know you’re planning to secretly go to Zheng Ye’s house tonight, put a sack over his head, and beat him! You even want to… castrate him!”

That was a little too precise. Lu Zhao kissed the palm of Su Yunqi’s hand, as if deep in thought.

“Don’t lick me! I’m talking seriously here! You big pervert!!!” Su Yunqi was furious, scolding him in a spoiled manner, then puffing her cheeks and slapping him on the shoulder.

“Did you hear me? You can’t do any of that! If you do it, Zheng Ye will come at you with a knife. He might not stab you, but you could kill him. Do you understand that? If you kill him, you’ll go to jail for ten years! If you’re in jail, what am I supposed to do?”

“Besides, this is all because of me, wuwuwu… If you go to jail, I’ll… I’ll die!”

Su Yunqi pouted, tears streaming down her face, feeling both scared and worried. How could he still be in the mood to joke with her?

“Don’t cry.” Lu Zhao wiped away her tears while processing what Su Yunqi had just said.

Everything she mentioned was exactly what he had been considering. If Zheng Ye wanted to go out with a bang, it was possible. With his physique and skills, Zheng Ye would never be able to hurt him, so in the end, if he accidentally killed Zheng Ye, it seemed quite reasonable.

Moreover, Su Yunqi was a very straightforward person, and when she lied, it was obvious. There was no way she could have come up with this story on the spot, so it must be true. Although it was a little unbelievable that she could suddenly see these things…

“So, will you promise me? If you don’t promise, when you end up in prison, I’ll take your money and your house and remarry! I’ll marry someone else and have children with him! And you’ll have to watch from inside the prison!” Su Yunqi said, her eyes still filled with tears. Her small face was pale, looking pitiful.

“No! You’re not allowed to marry anyone else! If you dare go with someone else, I’ll break your legs!”

Lu Zhao’s face darkened, and he immediately held her in his arms, instinctively rejecting the idea. His little wife could only belong to him!

“Hmph, by the time you’re in jail, I’ll be long gone with someone else and you won’t even know!” Su Yunqi pouted, crossing her arms and deliberately speaking to annoy him.

“I won’t go to jail, I promise.” Lu Zhao picked her up and placed her on his lap. He looked at Su Yunqi with dark, intense eyes and pressed his forehead against hers, swearing in a hoarse voice.

But Zheng Ye still needed to be dealt with, and he had no intention of changing his plan.

“Then promise me you won’t do these things. We’ll find another way to deal with him, a gentler approach.” Su Yunqi looked at Lu Zhao with her large, wet eyes, hoping he would agree.

“Alright, I’ll listen to you.”

Lu Zhao softened at the sight of her eyes, feeling both tender and heated.

He suddenly tightened his hold on her, pressing their bodies together. He nipped at the soft tip of her ear and, in a low voice, asked, “Alright, I’ll listen to you. What’s my reward?”

“What kind of reward do you want?”

Su Yunqi tilted her head innocently, exposing her long, fair neck. She blinked, thinking for a moment, then asked softly, “How about I make you a pair of shoes?”

Originally, it was customary for the woman to make a pair of shoes for the man when they were engaged, but at that time, things had been too rushed. Su Yunqi had been worried about the little bully and had no time to make them.

Now, she had the perfect chance to make up for it.

“That won’t do. The shoes are something you should’ve made for me in the first place. Pick something else.”

Lu Zhao clearly understood the tradition and, with his domineering attitude, insisted that Su Yunqi make him the shoes, while also demanding an additional reward.

“Then what do you want? I’ll give you my savings, I’ve got three hundred yuan! Do you want to open a shop with it?”

Su Yunqi bit her lip and thought for a moment. Then, with some reluctance, she handed over her private savings.

This was all she had!

“I don’t want money. The money at home is all yours, and when the time comes, you can take charge of it. What I want is this kind of reward…” Lu Zhao bent down and bit Su Yunqi’s delicate collarbone, his intentions unmistakably clear.

“You, you!” Su Yunqi’s small face instantly turned bright red, her waist melting from his touch.

She scolded him in a soft, spoiled tone. “This is still the daytime! You’re shameless! Pervert!”

“Do you agree or not?”

Lu Zhao shamelessly clung to Su Yunqi…

In order to keep Lu Zhao from going to prison, Su Yunqi decided to give in! “Then, it better be quick.”
