144 The Fluff 6 - Rapid Update 1 (1/2)

Lin Kang recovered quickly and realized this was an opportunity set up by his mother for him to get close to his wife. 'Mom, why couldn't you just tell me that in person?' Lin Kang grumbled in his mind, failing to understand he did not actually give his mother the opportunity to do so.

However, seconds later, he started to doubt himself. After all, it was not to his knowledge that Mrs. Lin had finally approved of Xiu Ling. Lin Kang thought they were still at each other's throat.

'Have I envisioned this wrongly? Perhaps mother did have an important brunch to attend to?' Lin Kang thought to himself, 'In any case, I'll be the biggest idiot in the world if I do not make use of this perfect opportunity.'

With that purpose in mind, Lin Kang sidled to his wife and said, ”Since mother has said so, let's get moving then.”

Xiu Ling reared her head at Lin Kang, and confusion was apparent on her face. 'Wait, you're going along with it? Weren't you just trying hard to squirm out of it earlier?!'

Xiu Ling was understandably confused by the sudden change in her husband's attitude. She was about to ask him about it when Lin Kang took her hand and ushered her into the kitchen. ”Lin Kang... Wait...” Xiu Ling said as she was practically dragged away.

Lin Kang wanted to push things along before his wife changed her mind. He placed Xiu Ling before the working table and said, ”Please show me the way, Teacher Xiu Ling!”

It was definitely out of character for him to do something like this. After all, the man had not begged another human being for any help in his life. Normally, it would be the other way around, others came to him begging for help.

However, it was as they say, love could change a person and before Xiu Ling, Lin Kang did not feel that out of place humbling himself.

Lin Kang had a hard time telling whether the changes were positive for him or not. He had difficulty gauging whether he appreciated the man he was slowly becoming. However, one thing did help tremendously in easing him into acceptance of the change.

It was how his wife reacted to him. During the initial stage of their marriage, Xiu Ling was jumpy around him like a little rabbit. At the time, Lin Kang had to admit he did not think much of his so-called wife. Like a little rabbit, he kept her around like how one would treat a pet.

Then, as time passed and Xiu Ling grew more into herself, Lin Kang realized the mistake that he had done. The woman was a veritable diamond. With added confidence, she started to shine and Lin Kang found himself attracted to her glow...

Thus came the desire to get to know her better, to bath himself in the glory of her presence.

However, he knew better than to force himself on her like how he did in the start of their marriage. He believed that would only make Xiu Ling hide away from him and even worse, cause her to reverse back to the jumpy little creature.

He wanted to know Xiu Ling in her full capacity and not just a shell of who she was. For that, he knew he could not act all forceful and brash.
