Chapter 134: Chapter 134: Li Si Has Returned

"Mom isn’t just yours! She’s mine and Xiao Chen’s!" Lu Lin walked out of the kitchen and emphasized.

He hadn’t forgotten that Fu Xiaoxiao was married home by Lu Feng for their sake, so she belonged to him and Lu Chen.

Lu Feng’s eyes narrowed dangerously, his gaze swept over Lu Lin.

"She’s my wife! Mine! Who said I married her for you guys?"

"Mom, didn’t you say you agreed to marry Dad for us?" Lu Chen hugged Fu Xiaoxiao’s leg, pitifully said.

Looking at the father and sons suddenly arguing, Fu Xiaoxiao amusingly tapped Xiao Chen’s forehead.

"I belong to myself, don’t drag me into this." Fu Xiaoxiao chose not to participate in their war; she’s her own person, not an appendage to anyone.

Seeing Fu Xiaoxiao ignore them, the three exchanged a glare and had no choice but to call a truce.

Fu Xiaoxiao washed her face, and Lu Feng immediately served her the congee that had been simmering for a long time. Fu Xiaoxiao stared at the consistency of the congee, stunned. "How long did you sleep?"

Seeing that it was nearly congealed into a porridge soup indicated it had been cooked for quite some time.

Lu Feng scratched his head, not daring to admit that he hadn’t slept a wink the previous night due to excitement, replaying every moment of their encounter over and over in his mind, unwilling to sleep for fear of forgetting that intoxicating feeling.

"Couldn’t bring myself to sleep." Lu Feng said this as he met Fu Xiaoxiao’s gaze.

Fu Xiaoxiao understood the meaning behind his words, her cheeks turned red.

Watching the pink bubbles appear again between them, Lu Lin and Lu Chen exchanged a glance.

Feeling that Fu Xiaoxiao was about to be taken away by Lu Feng.

"Mom..." Lu Chen was about to say something when a sound of a breaking bowl came from Chen Xiu’s house next door.

Fu Xiaoxiao’s brow furrowed, she immediately moved to the wall, perked her ears, listening to the commotion next door.

Lu Lin and Lu Chen mimicked Fu Xiaoxiao’s actions, the large and the two small acting like thieves, pressing against the wall to eavesdrop.

Lu Feng watched Fu Xiaoxiao’s playful behavior, his eyes full of affection.

His wife is really cute, even acting like a thief is adorable.

Next door, a fierce battle was underway; Li Si was notified that Li Yanan and Chen Hao had arrived and were now in Chen Xiu’s house.

Li Si rushed back eagerly, anticipating that Li Yanan would certainly scold Chen Xiu for not taking proper care of her husband.

As soon as he entered, he saw three adults and two children enjoying breakfast with laughter, and at Li Si’s return, Li Yanan’s smile instantly vanished, and Chen Hao gave Li Si no chance to react, immediately setting down his chopsticks and landing a punch.

Li Si, realizing what was happening, found himself pinned down by Chen Hao.

"I told you before, if my sister wasn’t happy, I would definitely thrash you!" Chen Hao glared at Li Si viciously, his fists showing no mercy.

Once Li Si reacted, he immediately pushed Chen Hao off, and seeing Li Si react, Chen Hao did not engage again.

After all, he knew the difference between an ordinary person and a soldier.

He had only managed to strike because Li Si wasn’t expecting it.

"Li Si, what was it you promised me back then?" Li Yanan, seeing her son unharmed, flashed satisfaction in her eyes, then turned sharply to Li Si.

"Mom, I just said a couple of things to her..." Recalling his suppliance when he sought marriage, Li Si pressed his lips.

"That’s right! Just saying a couple of things made my daughter worthless. Since you think she doesn’t deserve your kindness, then give me back my daughter. From now on, no debt between our families." Li Yanan seized the initiative, giving Li Si no chance to react, forcefully speaking.

"Mom, why are you joining in the chaos too? What about the kids? We’re just arguing as a couple, there’s no need... to divorce, right?" Li Si was stunned by Li Yanan’s words; despite his dissatisfaction with Chen Xiu, he never considered divorcing her.

Besides, they have two children together, half their lives have passed already, what sense does divorce make now.

"This matter is partly my fault too, for failing to raise my daughter right. I’ve decided to take her home for some change, so as not to trouble you, with your high rank, Li Si, remarriage should be no issue." Li Yanan coldly replied.

"Mom, no, Xiu’er, say something!" Li Si panicked, hearing Li Yanan’s intent of truly wanting Chen Xiu to divorce him.

This time spent in the dormitory, initially angry with Chen Xiu, without her caring for him, his indifference turned to regret, realizing he neglected his wife. Yet, pride as a man prevented him from admitting fault first.

With so many watching his plight, he couldn’t lose face.

He just intended to give Chen Xiu the cold shoulder, nothing more.

"Didn’t you despise me? I can’t cook, the house is poorly managed, I can’t even take care of the children, haven’t served you well. Divorce suits me fine, you can find someone better to care for the kids. I’ll step aside, I don’t want this home; after all, you never saw me as this home’s mistress." Chen Xiu turned away, spoke indifferently.

"It’s just right that you’re back, we can head to the family committee and have Chen Hong handle the divorce papers. From then on, we’ll go our separate ways. You don’t need to worry about me taking the children; they are your Li family’s grandchildren, they belong with you, the father." Chen Xiu’s indifferent demeanor made Li Si more fearful.

His heart in chaos, Chen Xiu is truly considering divorce!

"Xiu, I was wrong, I truly know I was wrong, don’t divorce, I can’t live without you." Li Si quickly approached Chen Xiu, trying to hold her hand.

Chen Xiu coldly withdrew her hand.

"You don’t know you were wrong, you just don’t want to give up your comfortable life. Everything in the house is done by me, you come home and lay down like a lord, directing me to do everything for you. How capable you are! Such a high rank! I’m just an illiterate village woman, unworthy of you." Chen Xiu laughed at herself, those words were often uttered by Li Si.

Despising her lack of status, unlike other wives with backing.

Criticizing her incompetence, for not cooking well, washing clothes cleanly, even failing to serve him properly.

The words were harsh and piercing, enduring them for years, she’s human too, each sentence tore at her, stabbing her heart raw.

"I truly know I’m wrong, truly, I swear I’ll listen to you from now on, if you tell me to go east, I’ll never dare go west, don’t leave me, I’m lost without you." Li Si looked at Chen Xiu, pleading.

"Don’t, don’t, don’t stain your noble knees, this belated awakening is cheaper than a dog. The sweet words now would only last days, reverting once I’m gone. Don’t think that I’m too old to see through your tricks." Li Yanan coldly laughed, tearing through Li Si’s pretense.
