Chapter 212: A Public Acknowledgement

There were no doubts regarding Lu Xingzhi’s ability to obtain whatever he wanted, and this was not even taking into account the influence his buddies had. Seeing as the Zhang family had the power to let just about anyone enroll in Nanjiang Medical University, why couldn’t Lu Xingzhi and his gang do the same in Jindo City?

However…

Even though Jiang Yao was reluctant to part with Lu Xingzhi, she could not leave Wen Xuehui just like that. She still had to protect her from a certain two-timer.

Jiang Yao’s absence from school this weekend might have given that douchebag just the right opportunity to get closer to Wen Xuehui!

“We will see, alright? I will let you know when I decide to move to Jindo City,” Jiang Yao said.

A tinge of regret flashed across Lu Xingzhi’s face. Nevertheless, he had somehow expected that response and was not too disappointed.

“Jiang Yao, you do know that Jindo Medical University is better than Nanjiang Medical University! Think this through, and whenever you change your mind, you are always welcome here!” Chen Xuyao added. He could not stand being left out of their conversations.

“Brother Lu seems happier with you being here, Jiang Yao. You probably do not know this, but when you were away, your husband acted as though he was the Grim Reaper. We never see him smile or talk. That was scary! We need you here to save Zhou Weiqi and me from his madness!” Chen Xuyao continued, taking a dig at Lu Xingzhi.

Lu Xingzhi knew that Chen Xuyao’s intention was to help him in persuading Jiang Yao to come to Jindo City, otherwise, with that ridicule he had received, he would have booted Chen Xuyao out of the car.

In just the blink of an eye, they arrived at the airport.

Seeing the various masses of people moving about in the airport, Jiang Yao felt a strong sense of reluctance to part with Lu Xingzhi.

“Alright, your darling husband is leaving.” Lu Xingzhi patted Jiang Yao’s head as if she were an adorable pet. “Your hair has grown longer, don’t cut it. I like it that way.”

Jiang Yao muttered under her breath, “Who’s my darling husband?”

“Come on! Call me darling, just this once!” Lu Xingzhi insisted. “I’ve never heard you call me that even though we’ve been married for so long.”

Jiang Yao had never had a pet name for him even after they had gotten married. She was used to calling him by his name, including his last name when she was angry.

Jiang Yao looked at Lu Xingzhi but her mouth stayed shut.

There was nothing wrong with calling each other by some cute names. Jiang Yao, however, was embarrassed to say it. She did have it set as Lu Xingzhi’s contact name in her cell phone though, and that proved to be something she preferred.

“If I remember correctly, you had my name in your cell phone set as ‘darling’.” Lu Xingzhi had stumbled upon this little piece of information when he had picked up her phone that had fallen out of her pocket accidentally. Mistakenly accessing her messages, he had seen a screen full of the word ‘darling’, all from the texts he had sent to her.

In the dead of the night, he had held on to her phone and smiled like a fool.

“Zhou Weiqi gave me the phone with that name already saved.” Jiang Yao explained. “Maybe it was either one of you that entered the name.”

“But you did not change it, right?” Lu Xingzhi knew how easily embarrassed she was, so he did not insist for her to call out his pet name in public.

Lu Xingzhi gave Jiang Yao a quick hug. Unlike the previous time when he had lost control and held on to her like a clingy spouse, he knew that they would be meeting each other again in half a month, and seeing that there were so many people around, he let her go after a short embrace.
