Chapter 426: Cleansing (1) (1/2)

If it had been any other day, Chu Lian would have just ignored her lunatic husband.

However, considering how he was currently her patient and how injured he was, Chu Lian suppressed her rage and forced herself to calm down.

She shot a sideways look at He Changdi before resigning herself to her fate. She picked up one of the wontons on the side table with her spoon and blew on it before sending it to He Sanlang’s mouth.

He Changdi’s dark eyes lit up and sparkled like the stars of the night sky. His lips parted and Chu Lian shoved the spoonful of wonton right into his mouth.

She thought gleefully to herself inwardly as she looked at He Changdi with disdain. There! He could have his fill of wontons!

It was obvious that He Sanlang’s stiff features had softened into a warm expression. He followed Chu Lian’s movements closely. Every time she moved the spoon close to him, he would open his mouth obediently.

While eating, he didn’t forget to add, “It’s pretty good, but it’s not delicious as the ones you made.”

Chu Lian rolled her eyes. She felt that He Changdi was just lying brazenly. Setting the matter of the taste aside, Wenlan had already surpassed her in the skill of folding the wontons up into their ingot shape. Furthermore, Wenlan had come up with this chicken broth herself after much trial and error.

Chu Lian snorted in dismissal, but there was still a trace of warmth in her heart from his words.

When Sanlang’s band of brothers entered, they were met with the scene of Chu Lian patiently feeding He Sanlang.

Xiao Hongyu was stunned and the corners of his eyes immediately turned red. He showed his usual loud personality as he quickly strode towards the bed and wailed, “Brother He, so it wasn’t just your leg that was hurt, even your hands have been crippled! Just… How can this be?! Tell your little brother which damned bastard did this, I’ll kill them all!”

He Sanlang’s warm expression immediately froze over into his usual cold one. He glared once at the wailing Xiao Hongyu before taking the bowl from Chu Lian’s hands and gobbling the rest of the wontons down.

Xiao Hongyu watched his movements with a stupefied expression before understanding dawned upon him. He pointed at He Changdi’s arms, “Brother He, so your arms aren’t injured at all!”

Following that, his gaze landed upon the awkward Chu Lian, “Sister-in-Law, since Brother He’s arms are completely fine, you don’t have to wait on him. Brother He is actually really tough when he’s in our army camp! There was even this one time when…”

Before Xiao Hongyu could finish, he felt an eerily icy gaze fall upon him, which sent a chill down his back. When he looked up, he was met with He Changdi’s warning gaze. His voice trailed away and his throat clogged up.

He scratched the back of his head and chuckled sheepishly.

Captain Guo came up and delivered a smack on the head to Xiao Hongyu, “Alright, that’s enough nonsense from you. Single brats can go wait over there.”

Xiao Hongyu held the back of his head and gave off another pitiful wail before going off to one corner to lick his wounds.
