Vice Captain Lu hadn’t expected that although everything had been agreed upon at home, his wife would change her tune once they arrived.

And Captain He gave them no face at all, directly kicking them out.

His face turned quite awkward. Seeing Fu Guangying still wanted to say something, he quickly pulled her outside the yard: "Enough, isn’t this embarrassing enough?"

Originally, he had brought Lu Qiufu over to borrow a motorcycle, hoping to shine brightly at his cousin’s engagement party tomorrow and help her gain face. He didn’t expect Captain He and his wife to be so unaccommodating.

There were already quite a few people cooling off outside the yard. Seeing the couple enter Captain He’s house, those people surely wouldn’t miss the opportunity for gossip.

But they hadn’t expected Vice Captain Lu’s wife to be so shameless, asking to borrow such an expensive motorcycle outright, and even picking a quarrel when refused.

Just like Captain He said, not only was her home always a mess, but she also wanted to stir up trouble in the neighborhood. It’s better not to mingle with people like this in the future.

For a moment, everyone looking at Vice Captain Lu felt full of sympathy.

After all, Vice Captain Lu is henpecked, clearly knowing it’s wrong but not daring to oppose his wife’s decisions, joining in the foolishness.

Clearly aware of how valuable that motorcycle is, yet daringly thick-skinned enough to ask to borrow it, they really have some nerve.

The couple wouldn’t let such people affect their mood.

He Jinxuan closed the gate and took Xinyan’s hand: "Come on, let’s eat."

Xinyan glanced outside the yard, thinking: Fu Guangying’s brain must have been pinched by a door, and maybe Vice Captain Lu’s brain has issues too. This couple really is quite a match.

After all that delay, the food is just right.

He Jinxuan looked at Xinyan eagerly: "How is it, any progress?"

Xinyan swallowed the food in her mouth: "Not bad, not inferior to the craftsmanship of a chef in a state-run restaurant. If you’re ever unemployed, you could open a small restaurant to support the family."

After she finished speaking, both of them laughed.

Fussing over getting food for Xinyan, once she was done eating, only then did He Jinxuan start gobbling it down.

Afterward, not letting Xinyan lift a finger, he tidied up the dishes and brought them inside, then ran back and whispered in Xinyan’s ear: "Wife, go take a bath, I’ll come after tidying up the kitchen."

Xinyan saw his eagerness and couldn’t help but laugh.

But thinking about how they’ve been separated shortly after marriage, his behavior seems quite normal. It’s actually her who feels guilty towards him: "Alright, the kitchen is yours, but don’t cheat."

Seeing Xinyan rise, He Jinxuan childishly said: "As you command, wife."

Having been together for so long, she’d never seen him so lively before. Thinking about it, she couldn’t help but blush, hastily turning to hide her expression: "I’m going to take a bath."

Of course, she said it intentionally, just to see if he could handle it.

After speaking, she ran into the house.

Well, upon hearing Xinyan’s words, He Jinxuan felt all hot and bothered, really wishing he had a few extra hands to quickly tidy up the kitchen and get inside to hug his wife.

One can only say, this newly awakened man really can’t handle teasing.

Meanwhile, in a luxurious office: "Still no information?"

"Sir, please don’t worry, we already have some information, but the relevant authorities are still in the process of verifying it. We should have news in the next few days."

"Sir, your health can’t wait any longer, tomorrow you must undergo a comprehensive examination.

Moreover, I have been searching for the Miss who treated you on the train. Her acupuncture technique clearly comes from a master and seems very helpful for your condition."

"I understand, go ahead and make the arrangements."

Before finding his grandson, he must take care of his health, as this is his unwavering commitment.
