Ai Changhuan was so irritated with Lu Zhanqing that she really left without saying a word.

Instead of being embarra.s.sed, Lu Zhanqing even looked indifferent. He sat down in a chair by the bed, and the driver also his secretary opened the briefcase. Inside it was an ultrthin laptop. He handed it to Lu Zhanqing who started to work silently beside Lu Zhanke, acting naturally as if he were at his own home.

When Lu Zhanke woke up, he saw Zhanqing's profile. He looked attentive, but Ai Changhuan had already disappeared.

Lu Zhanke coughed with difficulty and said, "Why are you here? Where's Changhuan?"

He still didn't give up and kept searching the room. As for Lu Zhanqing, Zhanke didn't give a glance at him.

The main point of his words was definitely the second sentence, so Lu did not explain why he came. He just closed the computer, then said indifferently, "No need. She is gone."

"Huh?" Lu stopped. He was totally disappointed when he heard it. "Alright."

Lu Zhanqing's face became stern, "Why do you like her so much?"

Somehow, it sounded he was jealous.

His blood was drumming in his temple. Oh no! He almost forgot his brother had strong affection for him. When Ai was asked to marry one of them, Zhanqing would rather die than marry her, and he even didn't let his bother marry her, either. If it were not for his father's command, he would insist till the end.

His affection for his brother had already shown at an early age. When Lu Zhanke was a child, he thought it was good to have a brother to protect himself. Later, when he found that his friend circle was completely controlled, he gradually grew rebellious. In order to get rid of the increasingly terrible control from Lu Zhanqing, he chose to join the army.

Fortunately, after their lives were diverged, his control seemed to relax a little bit. And his affection wasn't not as obvious as before, but he treated Lu Zhanke more and more indifferently. The expression in his eyes was always cold. If he didn't know his brother was good inside, he would have been frightened by what he looked like.

Did Ai changhuan escape by his indifference?

Thinking about all of it, Lu was a little bit worried, "Can you give her a call? Her number is..."

Before he could utter the number, Lu Zhanqing cut in coldly, "No, she'll come back if she wants."

Lu Zhanke was still worried. He felt time hanging heavy when lying on the bed. He stared at the door obsessively, looking forward to seeing Ai Changhuan there. He was absolutely an infatuated patient in the ward.

Lu Zhanqing looked at him, sneering. His expression was becoming even terrible. He turned the emerald ring on his index finger and said in an unpleasant tone, "It's just woman. Why do you care so much?"

Eh-huh? Was he jealous? Lu Zhanke never cared about him in this way. “'How could his brother, who had lived with him for more than 30 years, compromise with a woman, who Lu Zhanke knew just for less than 3 months?” How could he try to be calm about it? It felt like that one raised his daughter for twenty years and she married a stranger one day, but she was even willing to follow the stranger without any regret.

Sensing his jealousy, Lu realized that he couldn't skirt this topic easily. But he had nothing to say about relations.h.i.+p if he was faced with a man.

He finally squeezed some words after a while, "Changhuan is fine. She is fine now."

It could be told from how Ai looked after him recently that if she was a spoiled princess, she would definitely turn around and leave as soon as she saw it.

Before that Lu Zhanqing had already tested Ai Chuanghuan and he was satisfied. But he still harbored the grudge because she took Lu Zhanke away from him so he couldn't easily accept her.

"You are still injured now. Have a good rest. Don't think too much." Lu Zhanke said without any emotion. He almost wanted to say, "Don't think about your wife. It's enough to have me."

But how could Lu not be worried. He was on the edge of being anxious. He tossed and turned on the bed, "It seems to be late now. She hasn't been back yet..."

Lu Zhanqing c.o.c.ked his eyes to the driver, "It's time to eat. Go and prepare."

The driver was about to laugh when he saw the obsessed expression on Lu Zhanqing's face. But he held back for fear that he would lose his job if his boss was irritated. After he heard Lu's order, there was a flash of excitement in his eyes. “My G.o.d. I am free!”

He bowed and said 'yes', and then he rushed out of the room. He didn't laugh until he ran far away and found a tree to lean on. He laughed so wildly that the pa.s.sers-by were frightened. They thought there must be something wrong with the man.

As for Lu Zhanke, he grew more anxious when Lu Zhanqing didn't answer. Unfortunately, he couldn't even move, not to mention going out to look for her.

Lu Zhanqing started to have small talk in order to draw his attention back.

"Why don't you ask about our father?"

Lu asked listless, "Oh. How's he doing?"

"He is good."

"..." Lu Zhanke was speechless.

"So why don't you ask how I am doing?"

"...Is there any need to ask? You are here, sitting right in front of me?”

"Anyway. If you don't ask, let me ask you. How are you doing?"

"..You are totally talking rubbish, OK? How good could I be since I am injured, lying here? And, bro, could you please talk with expression? No one will be willing to talk with a poker face.”

Lu was suffering now. He was about to cry, feeling increasingly stressed.

Perhaps Lu Zhanqing sensed that Lu Zhanke didn't want to talk about it. After silence, he asked unwillingly, "How is Ai Changhuan? Does she have a lot of shortcoming?"

Talking about Ai Changhuan, Lu's eyes lightened up. He smiled hurriedly, "No.No.No. She is good. Really good."

His besotted expression gave away the fact that he always listened to his wife unconditionally. Lu started to be jealous again. His tone was full of grievance.

“Oh, in what aspects is she excellent?”

“She is gentle, brave, clever, considerate. She is lovely, though fondly foolish, sometimes. She does what I ask her to do. You know, I asked her to grow fruits, and she did grow! Do you think she was foolish? In fact, she could refuse me! She took the things seriously, and never defied me! She is quite different from the women I met. She is frank, sincere, and outspoken. She is really a beauty.” Lu's eyes shone when he said about her.

And what was more important was that she should use many adjectives to compliment Ai Changhuan. If she were here, she would probably be flattered and surprised.

"So she is flawless?" Lu Zhanqing didn't believe it. It was true that Ai wasn't affected. He had seen too many affected women in A Town. They could do anything in order to have relations.h.i.+p with him. He had already been too annoyed. It made him feel like throwing up.

"Shortcoming?" Lu thought for a while, "She probably did have."

Lu Zhanqing was satisfied. There couldn't be such a perfect person in the world in his opinion. So he asked, pretending to be calm, "Really? What is it?"

Lu said with determination, "She is too beautiful to let me have a sense of security.."

"..." Lu had a complicated feeling. He felt excited. He felt entangled. It was very...It was too complex to explain. He just felt as if he were struck by thunder and couldn't figure out the situation. He sat there without making any move.

He shouldn't be blamed. After all, he saw what "showing-off-relations.h.i.+p" looked like for the first time. As a man who had been solo for thirty years, it was hard for him to undertake it.

“Is it because beauty is in the eyes of the beholder? But why do I feel gooseflesh?"

If he could, he really wanted to hang Lu Zhanke up and torture him. He wanted to ask, "What's wrong with you? Are you awake?"

“And, is Ai beautiful? A plain face with black circles. She doesn't have to wear a makeup to play as a panda. She is too sloppy. He has never seen such a sloppy woman.” In a word, if he was Lu Zhanke, he would never fall in love with her.'

But, think it in another way. Maybe it was because Lu had stayed in army for too long. He hardly saw a woman, so he would consider a sow beautiful. Lu Zhanqing felt much better.

He patted Zhanke's shoulder. He said with sympathy, "I see. After you cure, ask for a leave and go back to A Town."

"Go back? For what?" Zhanke didn't know why Lu Zhanqing looked at him with sympathy.

"Let me take you to Huang Di. Women there should be called beautiful." Although they wore heavier makeup, they looked much prettier and smoother than Ai, who was far away from interesting.

"I..." Lu was going to refuse. There was a knock on the door.

"I didn't expect that you are going to do another mission after the last one." The person who was standing at the door was Ai, the woman Lu was dreaming of.
