Chapter 53 Tryst

Zhao Fei walked towards home calmly.

Seeing a figure from afar, Lu Fang hurriedly stepped forward from the stairs and took the bicycle from Zhao Fei. She asked with concern: "Why are you back so late?"

"Overtime." Zhao Fei said lightly.

"Why are you working overtime for no reason?" Lu Fang murmured.

"I asked for leave tomorrow, and planned to accompany you back to your parents' home."

"Leave?" Lu Fang was shocked for two seconds, frowned and scolded, "Nonsense! Now is the critical time for regularization, why do you ask for leave?"

"I just went back to my parents' home two days ago, how can you accompany me?"

Suddenly, Lu Fang remembered something, she pushed the bicycle, and the bicycle hit Zhao Fei.

"You are so good, Zhao Fei! Aren't you still thinking about Lu Xiao's marriage?! Didn't I tell you that the boy has a girlfriend, and this marriage is over, why don't you give up?!"

Why did he give up?

He was suspended from work before the news of his brother-in-law's affair spread out. If the affair really fell through, he would be kicked out of the factory without thinking too much.

"Right!" Zhao Fei threw the bicycle down, not caring about the pregnant Lu Fang, letting her retreat unprepared and get scratched on the calf by the bicycle that was tilted to one side.

"I just won't give up!"

Zhao Fei roared hysterically, and Lu Fang's teeth were gnashed by the scratches.

"I just work overtime unnecessarily, unnecessarily worrying that you will be bullied in the village, and unnecessarily worrying that my mother-in-law and father-in-law have opinions about me as a son-in-law, so I want to make time to accompany you back again."

Zhao Fei's deeply hurt eyes fell on Lu Fang, and he shouted in a lost voice: "In your eyes, Lu Fang, I am a selfish beast!"

After a pause, Lu Fang trembled and said, "I... didn't mean that."

Zhao Fei ignored Lu Fang, left her and went straight upstairs into the house.

Lu Fang stood for a long time, picked up the bicycle, and carried it upstairs with difficulty.

As soon as she reached the sixth floor, Zhao Fei rushed over with a look of regret, snatched the bicycle from her hand and put it aside. With a clang.

He knelt down to admit his mistake, and slapped her in the face.

"Afang, I am a beast! How could I lose my temper with you?"

Lu Fang was angry, but most of it was because she misunderstood Zhao Fei's apology, so the moment she saw Zhao Fei kneeling down, her unhappiness had already dissipated.

She hurriedly stopped Zhao Fei from slapping her in the face, but she was used to being strong, even if she was wrong first, she couldn't say soft words, but took Zhao Fei's arm and pulled him up.

"Zhao Fei, you get up first."

Zhao Fei didn't move, and kept repeating in his mouth.

"Afang, I was wrong, you hit me."

As he said that, he picked up Lu Fang's hand and hit her in the face.

Although Lu Fang is a woman, she is used to doing farm work, and her strength is not comparable to Zhao Fei. While the two struggled, a solid slap was slapped on Zhao Fei's face.

Snap.

A crisp slap sounded, and both of them froze.

At this time, the neighbors who heard the noise poked their heads out and saw this scene, and immediately started gossiping.

"Youngest son of the Zhao family, why are you kneeling down?"

"You can't kneel like this! There is gold under a man's knees, and if you kneel down, won't you take the gold away?"

...

One sentence after another of ridicule and mockery, as if Zhao Fei was nailed to a pillar and skinned and pulled out. He, who always loved his face, immediately turned black, and his eyes were gloomy and looked creepy.

Seeing this, Lu Fang hurriedly helped Zhao Fei up from the ground and said softly: "Don't listen to them, let's go home."

"Yeah." Zhao Fei responded.

Some people with sharp ears heard this and said rudely: "You useless father-in-law, kneeling down to your wife, really makes a man lose face."

Lu Fang subconsciously looked at Zhao Fei, and the worry overflowing from her eyes was mixed with a trace of imperceptible expectation, but she was still disappointed.

Zhao Fei shook her off and went straight into the house.

Her heart sank slightly. Is a man's face so important?

How much has she suffered over the years because of this?

If it weren't for the support of her brother Lu Xiao, how could she live a peaceful life with Zhao Fei and his wife behind closed doors?

Being abandoned twice in a row, even though Lu Fang was not a little woman in public, she was still hurt.

She said a few words to the neighbors who were laughing at her and closed their doors one after another. Then, she pushed her bicycle into the house.

As soon as she entered the house, Zhao Fei came up with a cup of sugar water.

"Afang, I'm sorry."

"But... I'm a man... and I knelt down for you in front of so many people. I really don't have the face to stay and wait for everyone to poke my spine."

Hearing this, Lu Fang wanted to ask back, "What about her? She was pointed at and called a fierce woman? A tigress?" But facing Zhao Fei with a flattering face, she couldn't say it.

In addition to loving face, Zhao Fei was really good to her.

Before, she lived with her mother-in-law and always stood behind her. She didn't get pregnant for several years, but she didn't blame her. Once she got pregnant, she tried every means to buy nutritional supplements. When she had no money, she went back to ask her mother-in-law for money...

"Yeah." Lu Fang replied tiredly.

"Tired?" Zhao Fei stood up, walked behind Lu Fang, put his hands on her shoulders, and helped her massage, "Is the strength appropriate?"

The relaxation of her body also made Lu Fang feel a lot more relaxed, and her voice was a little warmer.

"A little harder."

"Okay."

After a while, Zhao Fei stopped and said uncomfortably: "Wife, I just lied to you."

Lu Fang's shoulders, which had just collapsed due to relaxation, straightened instantly. She frowned and looked at Zhao Fei.

"Hmm?"

"I have another reason, but I'm embarrassed to say it."

"I really haven't given up completely," Zhao Fei said before Lu Fang opened her mouth and got angry: "Wife, don't be angry first, listen to me finish my words."

Lu Fang, who was hot-tempered, suppressed the words that were about to come out of her throat.

"I can't say I haven't given up, I'm just a little bit unconvinced, and even more curious, what kind of girl can win over my brother-in-law who has such high standards."

Lu Fang, who was tense all over, suddenly relaxed. On one side was her brother, and on the other was her husband. She was very embarrassed to be caught in the middle .

She smiled and said, "That's not the case."

"Lu Xiao is marrying up."

Zhao Fei smiled with a fake smile: "Then I'm even more curious. I must see it tomorrow."

"You'll know after you see it." Lu Fang said firmly.

"Next time, don't ask for leave at this critical moment without telling me! My parents are not unreasonable people."

"Okay, I'll listen to my wife."

As the night deepened, a sneaky figure walked out of the Youth Courtyard in the dark.

Five minutes later, he knocked on a door.

"Who is it?" Widow Wang muttered.

Recently, she hasn't had many dates with her old lovers.

"Aunt, it's me." Xu Qing replied in a pinched voice.

Hearing the familiar voice, Widow Wang's eyes suddenly lit up, and her waist twisted more.
