Chapter 283: Lacking in Common Sense


    "Why were you standing in a daze just now beforeing upstairs?" Jiang Yao asked as she opened


    the door for Lu Xingzhi.


    "You''re very beautiful," he answered sincerely, then only he noticed her hairstyle that she had set up


    meticulously. He stroked her head gently and said, "Your hair has grown longer now. I bet it will be

    longer than it is now during New Year''s Eve."


    "You said you like me with long hair, so I''m letting it grow." Jiang Yao chuckled. She was a little


    surprised that Lu Xingzhi would say such a sweet thing. It was as sweet as honey even though it was


    just a simple You''re very beautiful.


    Lu Xingzhi nodded earnestly, then asked her to put on her shoes. They were going to the cafeteria for


    dinner.


    Before going out, he pressed her against the door and kissed her passionately for a while. But as soon


    as they were out the door, he did not even have the intention to walk with her hand in hand.


    Jiang Yao was finally able to grasp Lu Xingzhi''s behavior. He was automatically in the ascetic mode


    whenever he was wearing his military uniform, but behind closed doors, he would instantly switch to the


    rogue mode.


    However, he was reluctant to leave his wife in the cold. Although he did not hold her hand, he was


    walking side by side with her, their hands would brush against each other asionally.


    There was some distance between the family building to the cafeteria. As they were walking, Jiang Yao


    told him about Mrs. Ge''s visit.


    "Honestly, I don''t like her. She''s greedy, selfish, and petty."


    Jiang Yao expressed her displeasure frankly as she felt that there was nothing she should hide or keep


    secret from Lu Xingzhi. She was able to state her real thoughts and opinions to him because she was


    absolutely certain that he would not see her as a narrow-minded person at all.


    "She is somewhatcking inmon sense. You don''t have to mingle with her, just be polite and


    diplomatic, that''ll suffice." Lu Xingzhi furrowed his eyebrows in annoyance upon the mention of Mrs.


    Ge.


    "Just now, she came to our house with a handful of vegetables, saying that she was worried that I have


    nothing to eat tonight since I had just arrived, so I told her about the wee feast. Do you know what


    was her response? She whined about not having a party for her and Wenwen when they first came


    here right in front of me."


    Jiang Yao continued, "Do you think she will be so petty that sheins to her husbandter?"


    "Not all army wives get to have a wee feast," Lu Xingzhi sneered in disdain. "The expenses for


    tonight''s party are from the Head''s own pocket money, and also because I have a great rtionship


    with him."


    As for the vegetables, Lu Xingzhi found it very amusing and he was bewildered.


    "The whole base knows that I don''t even have a bowl in my house and I never cook, how can she not


    know? She just went to you with the vegetables as a prop, she knew you wouldn''t take it," he blurted


    without hesitation.


    Jiang Yao was d that Lu Xingzhi did not mind her whining, and that she did not stir up the hos''


    nest the moment she got here. Nheless, she grimaced in agitation when she learned about Mrs.


    Ge''s behavior of using vegetables as a prop.


    "Head will just ignore her even if she throws a tantrum at her husband." Lu Xingzhi squinted his eyes


    into a frown as he continued, "When she first came here, she had already caused a scene because


    she insisted that she wanted the farmhouse for her family''s amodation. She liked it there with its


    long. But the problem was, the houses were fully upied at the time. Eventually, she stopped her


    nonsensical shenanigans when the leader came forward and said that they would vacate a plot ofnd


    for those of us who are staying in the apartment building to do some farming."


    Jiang Yao was slightly taken aback. It seemed that Mrs. Ge''sbat power was really powerful.


    "Oh yes, Mr. Ge is still at the hospital, isn''t he? How''s his injury? Is it serious? Why doesn''t his wife go


    take care of him at the hospital? Is there a reason I''m not aware of?" Jiang Yao was concerned about


    this. What kind of wife would stay at home and enjoy her life like nothing had happened when her


    husband had been hospitalized?


    Upon mentioning the matter, Jiang Yao clearly felt a metaphorical cyclone slowly forming around Lu


    Xingzhi that was drastically lowering the pressure in their surroundings.
