Lu Xingzhi thought that Zhang Xiqing had only used her tongue but not her fists, so he had only given her a mere kick to teach her a lesson.
If he knew that Zhang Xiqing and Qi Xiang had ganged up, he would not let Zhang Xiqing get away with it that easily.
He did not care about the reason why Zhang Xiqing and Qi Xiang had ganged up, however, the name Qi Xiang' was well-known in Jindo City. If his wife had not run away quickly at that time and really ended up in Qi Xiang's hands, the consequences would be...
That was why Lu Xingzhi felt that he would definitely have no pity for the Zhang family.
Zhang Xinan, the eldest among the Zhangs, Zhang Xiyuan, the second eldest among the Zhangs, and Zhang Xiqing, the youngest... good job...
They had done a really good job!
"Jiang Yao." Looking at Jiang Yao who was holding a glass of water with her head lowered but without knowing what she was looking at, he reached out to the glass half filled with water and took it away before drinking the remaining water in just one gulp. He then put the glass on the table and lowered his head while looking at the woman who responded to him with an "Ah?".
Then, he made a request. "Hug me."
Jiang Yao was stunned. "Hug...?" She had no idea why Lu Xingzhi had said that out of the blue.
"You don't want to? Or you're not willing to? Or perhaps you don't dare to?" Lu Xingzhi's gaze wavered. "Are you scared of me?"
Jiang Yao was stupefied for a few seconds. She suddenly remembered Chen Xuyao asking her whether she was starting to be afraid of Lu Xingzhi.
Therefore, did he want her to hug him all of a sudden because he wanted to test whether she was afraid of him due to his exposed temper?
Upon seeing that Jiang Yao did not budge, Lu Xingzhi's heart sank and he almost blurted the words "forget it", but just then, she suddenly nestled into his arms and hugged him softly. She rested her face on his chest and leaned onto him in a clingy way.
