Chapter 37

There was protective masculinity in the way he expressed his concern, and her heart melted away in raptures. “Yes, they did,” she teased.
“Who did?” Lu Beixiao became angry upon hearing the wrongs that she had suffered in her family. He gave his cigarette a tight squeeze as he waited for her response.
He meant it. He would not mind seeking revenge for her.
Ye Qiao understood his rage. She could almost picture his angry face in her mind. He was still the same man, with the same tendency to protect her. No matter what she did to thwart or push him away, he remained protective of her under all circumstances. Absolutely no one could point a finger at her.
He came to her rescue when Ye Cheng once reprimanded her for something that she did with Shen Xichuan.
“Ye Cheng, that’s enough! I don’t need your disapproval of my wife!”
“Lu Beixiao, open your eyes! She desperately needs to be taught a lesson!” Lu Beixiao’s attitude dumbfounded Ye Cheng.
The two ended up in a fight back then.
Ye Qiao’s eyes became teary at the thought of their bitter past, but she hid it away with a smile. “Xiao, I was just joking. No one has the guts to bully me when grandpa is in the house! I haven’t been to my hometown for six years, so I figured that it might be a good time to visit my foster parents, my siblings, and my childhood friends.”
