Chapter 71 - Mutual Subjection
All of a sudden, he released a mischievous laugh and leaned in as if to bestow a kiss upon Xu Yangyi's lips, eager to witness the intriguing reaction it would elicit. However, it seemed as if Xu Yangyi had anticipated the move. Swiftly, he shielded Hee Jingyan's face with his hand and gently pushed him away, a faint twitch at the corner of his mouth as he inquired, “What's your intention here?”
This guy must have figured out that I'm a bit reserved, so he's trying to provoke me. Damn it, adults can be incredibly vexing, often more so than my actual age suggests!
“Darling, you emerged victorious, didn't you? Hubby, allow me to grant you a victory kiss,” Hee Jingyan suddenly chuckled, showing no signs of relenting in his quest to kiss Xu Yangyi. The two of them playfully jostled each other, a blend of amusement and warmth permeating the air.
“No!!! Get out.” Xu Yangyi didn't even spare a glance at his kiss.
Damn, you only know how to tease me, but I'm a man. Don't you feel disgusted being together with me all the time?
“How long are you going to hold her? He's dead from the heat.” Xu Yangyi had a look of disdain on his face. As he said, he was about to struggle to get down, but Hee Jingyan refused. “I'll rub some medicine for you when we get back.” It looked as if he wanted to carry him back.
Xu Yangyi was dumbstruck and then shouted, “What the hell! You can't be thinking of carrying me back like this, right?”
After all, this is a training ground. He wants me to never meet anyone in this whole life! What was it like to be carried by a man full of troops?
In any case, Xu Yangyi wouldn't let him do that no matter what, so he would come down at once. However, a cold light suddenly flashed in Hee Jingyan's eyes, “Wife, you can try to get off my chest and see how I'll treat you.” He was threatening Xu Yangyi!
A wry smile tugged at the corner of Xu Yangyi's mouth. He realized he might have pushed too far; Xu Yangyi appeared genuinely irked. It was unwise to provoke him, especially in a place bustling with people; who knew what tricks this cunning man might have up his sleeve if pushed too far.
Seeing Xu Yangyi fall silent, Hee Jingyan immediately broke into a smile. It appeared that the young man still knew when to back down.
Loong Shen, observing from the sidelines, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow when he noticed Xu Yangyi's sudden quietness. It seemed that this feisty horsewoman hadn't completely tamed the colonel. The days ahead promised to be quite eventful.
As usual, Loong Shen watched the spectacle unfold, finding it rather entertaining.
Despite being the colonel's spouse and having triumphed over a member of the Dragon Riding Team, there was one aspect of their relationship that Hee Jingyan disliked: the public display of affection. Constantly being watched like this, she feared that one day her interest in the opposite sex might wane, and she would be pressured into something she didn't desire.
Tank was dumbfounded, gazing at Hee Jingyan's displays of affection toward Xu Yangyi. He rubbed his eyes and muttered to himself, “Is this really our colonel? When did our colonel become so gentle…”
Tank stared stiffly at Xu Yangyi, almost petrified. This guy was his sister-in-law? The colonel's spouse? This couldn't end well. If the colonel got wind of his sister-in-law's injured ankle, would he take it out on Tank?
Tank immediately sought Rosen's assistance with his eyes, but Rosen wore a helpless expression. The two of them simultaneously turned their attention to Ji Guangming. Ji Guangming's hair stood on end as he vehemently shook his head, disavowing any involvement.
“Sister-in-law, you're causing me so much trouble,” Ji Guangming lamented inwardly.
