Chapter 388 - President Lus home-cooked meal (2/2)

”Really?” Lu Aotian looked at her mischeviously. Without any form of warning, he took her in his arms and carried her to the bed, laying her on it carefully. ”If you want to get tired, there are other ways.”

Wan Jia blocked his incoming kiss. ”Don't try to change the topic.”

Lu Aotian held her hands above her head and kissed her. ”I want to protect you, not put you in danger.”

All of a sudden, Wan Jia pushed him off her disdainfully and got up. ”It's always about protection. Do you know, I'm actually tired of this so called protection you talk of every time. What do you take me for, a two year old?”

Lu Aotian was not surprised. He knew it would come to this one day. It just came sooner than he expected.

He pulled her back to bed and held her in his arms. ”Shaoting and I never seem to be in danger because we are fast and can fight.” Although Lu Shaoting wasn't nearly as good as his brother, he was better than special class mercenaries. On the other hand, after training for so long, Wan Jia couldn't be considered as good as an A level mercenary. She still had much to learn.

”But you are a woman, and you are not as strong as us. If you knew too much, it would be dangerous. What if someone kidnapped you to get information about me?”

Although his reason was more or less plausible, she was not convinced. ”You are saying that if I stay at home and be obedient, I'll be safe, but if I follow you to where you are going, I'll be in danger? This reasoning doesn't hold water at all.” Wasn't she supposed to be safer near him, since he was able to protect her?

He understood what she was thinking from her tone. ”Normally, you will be safe around me. But how can you be safe if I'm doing something...”

”Dangerous?” She completed the word he was unable to say using her own. ”Why would my husband be doing such things? Do you really expect me to be fine knowing that my husband is putting his life in danger?”

”That's not what I was going to say.”

”What's the difference? Or are you saying that I'll be a burden to you?”

Lu Aotian was helpless. What kind of logic was this, and did she have to be so stubborn? ”Baby, can you not be like this?”

She remained silent.

Lu Aotian kissed her head. ”Are you worried that I'll be in danger? Listen, I'll get back here in one piece. Not a single hair missing. I promise.”

She looked at him strictly. ”Not a single drop of blood missing either, right?”

”Mmh.”

”Shaoting must be safe too. Nothing must happen to him either.” Naturally, she was worried about her brother-in-law too.

”Don't worry. As long as I'm alive, nothing will ever happen to my brother.” He would protect him with his own life.

Half assured, Wan Jia got out of his arms. ”I'm going to take a bath. Do you want to come too?”

Lu Aotian was stunned from the sudden invitation. She was not one to say such bold things. ”Should I take that as some sort of invitation?” He teased.

”Maybe.” She grabbed his hand when she saw that he wasn't moving, and placed it on her chest. ”Come on, I dressed up for you. Aren't you going to undress me?”

Ahem...indeed, bath it was.
