"Shut up!" Lu Xingzhi growled. "Let me make it clear, Jiang Yao! You stop yourself from doing risky things! If you die, I am going to make you into a mummy and keep you with me for all eternity!"
Jiang Yao shook her shoulders instinctively. She was not startled by the contents of his outburst but more so at his unchecked anger.
"Speak! Didn't you hear me?" Lu Xingzhi's anger rose when he did not receive any reply from Jiang Yao.
Was she protesting in silence?
"Lu Xingzhi, what is wrong with you? You asked me to keep my mouth shut first!" Jiang Yao retorted.
"That was before, it's different now!" Lu Xingzhi was choked by Jiang Yao's response, he seemed to have made a blunder.
Anyway, he cooled down a little after the exchange.
He sighed resignedly.
"Darling, let's talk." As he tried to speak in a relaxed tone, "I am sorry for getting mad at you. Let's have a civil discussion on the matter of you coming to Rong County."
"Your apologies mean nothing to me!" Jiang Yao did not believe that Lu Xingzhi was genuine in his apology. She knew that he chose a different approach trying to get her to talk.
"If you are still mad, you can hit me all you want after our discussion," said Lu Xingzhi earnestly.
