Chapter 478: Ample Gratitude


    "My wife said she''s going to start a pharmaceutical manufacturingpany when she returns to


    Nanjing City. Along with that, she''ll have a production line ready just for the military." Lu Xingzhi spoke


    with immense pride.


    Colonel Lin raised his head and observed Lu Xingzhi. Not surprisingly, even as he was bragging, his


    face remained emotionless. His eyes, however, betrayed a certain gentleness, only seen when the


    words "my wife" were mentioned.


    "She''s a good one." Colonel Lin suddenly found himself in an awkward situation, not being able to


    Instead of being stingy with his words, Colonel Lin realized he was not able toe up with a suitable


    description for Jiang Yao. He owed his life to her, without whom he would have been a crippled former


    soldier.


    "We''ll have to thank your wife one way or the other." Colonel Lin hobbled out in crutches with Lu


    Xingzhi''s report in his hands. He was clearly in a hurry to submit the report to the higher-ups, as it was


    something he had great expectations on.


    Lu Xingzhi was very pleased. He tucked his hands into the pockets of his trousers, he wanted to thank


    his wife too.


    How should he go about it?


    By showing his gratitude on bed, she would probably like it very much.


    Lu Xingzhi went for a long walk around the huge center field after leaving Colonel Lin''s office. This was


    his only way to keep fit and get some exercise under his belt. Without it, he would have to expend all


    his pent-up energy onto someone else, whom he believed, would not be pleased at all.


    His return to the toon did not mean that he was back to his usual grind as he was still nursing his


    injuries. With plenty of time to spare, he took a detour to the canteen and had a talk with the chef since


    he wanted to cook some dishes up for lunchter.


    Jiang Yao took a little over two hours to finish her grocery trip. She was on her way upstairs when Lu


    Xingzhi returned.

    "I''ll take it." Lu Xingzhi quickly seized the bag of groceries from Jiang Yao''s hand, ignoring her feeble


    attempts at wrestling it back.


    After entering the house, Jiang Yao took a long hard look at Lu Xingzhi. "Are you alright? Don''t force


    yourself!" The much cooler weather now meant that the vegetables and fruits could be kept longer than


    usual, hence Jiang Yao bought quite a lot of produce.


    Lu Xingzhi ignored Jiang Yao; was she doubting his masculinity? Instead he carried everything into the


    kitchen.


    His cell phone started ringing as he entered the kitchen, with his hands full, he turned his body toward


    Jiang Yao and said, "My phone''s in this pocket, can you help me answer it?"


    Everyone in the toon knew he was on medical leave, so it could not be anything from work, which


    meant that it could only be one of his buddies or the Zhou and Du family calling.


    Jiang Yao''s hand was a little icy. As she inserted her fingers into his pocket, they brushed his skin


    through the thin barrier of fabric. Lu Xingzhi let out a small yelp.


    "HA!" Amused, Jiang Yao inserted her entire hand into the pocket and rubbed his thigh, only retrieving


    the cell phone after seeing his face twisted in agony.


    "It''s Xuyao, pick it up." Lu Xingzhi saw the caller ID, and looked at Jiang Yao, giving her a solemn look


    before putting his attention into organizing the just-bought products.


    Even though Chen Xuyao was calling Lu Xingzhi, he was not at all surprised to hear Jiang Yao on the


    other end of the line.
