My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 591 - 002: Grandmother

Listening to his teasing words, Yun Xi’s face suddenly changed, and she angrily walked to his side, ruthlessly kicking his shin with her high-heeled shoe: "Would you feel uncomfortable if you didn’t have a sharp tongue for a day? Hurry up and get your crappy car out of here."

"Hiss—"

The pain in his shin made Lu Xize gasp for air, and the expression on his face wasn’t so relaxed anymore. He angrily looked at her: "Can’t you be a bit more ladylike and graceful, and stop using your hands all the time?"

"No, if it can be solved with action, why waste my breath and energy arguing? Besides, there’s nothing to say between us. Anyway, what does my personality have to do with you? Is it any of your business?" Yun Xi rolled her eyes at him. Whenever she thought about the scene when she confessed that day, she got furious. She had clearly said that she never wanted to see him again, nor would she appear in front of him anymore.

Yet, just a few days later, she unexpectedly ran into him here. Should she go to a temple and ask for a charm for protection?

"You just kicked me! Can’t I say something?"

"Who told you to appear in front of me? Move your crappy car." Yun Xi raised her head angrily, stubbornly refusing to give in at all.

"You’re so strange! I..."

"Why are you wasting time? Are you going to move it or not? If not, I’m going to ram into it later. Don’t doubt whether I dare to or not—try me. Except for killing, arson, and robbery, there’s nothing I dare not do, especially when it comes to you, Lu Xize. I’m more than willing," Yun Xi impatiently interrupted him, seeming to have no more mood to argue with him. Her face clearly showed some displeasure and annoyance.

Lu Xize chuckled, his eyes slightly squinting as if he was scrutinizing something. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Have you been drinking?"

"What’s it to you?"

"It’s not related, but I can’t just watch you drive under the influence! If you get caught later, and tomorrow’s headlines read that the eldest daughter of Yun Group was caught for drunk driving, wouldn’t you and Yun Group both lose face? I’m just looking out for you!" Lu Xize shrugged indifferently, seriously analyzing the situation for her: "How about this? I’ll be a good Samaritan until the end, being generous, not bickering with you, and reluctantly acting as your chauffeur, how about that? I can even let you enjoy a free ride in my limited edition car, are you tempted?"

Yun Xi’s mouth twitched hard a few times. His solemn words sounded extremely irritating to her, so she couldn’t bear it any longer. Without further ado, she slapped his arm and gritted her teeth, shouting, "Reluctantly, generous, a good Samaritan until the end, and you want me to enjoy it for free? I think you have a death wish, have a death wish, have a death wish!"

"Ah, pain, pain, pain, be gentle." Being hit like this by Yun Xi, Lu Xize naturally couldn’t retaliate, so he could only keep retreating, even pretending to defend himself. But Yun Xi’s strikes grew heavier, making him hiss in pain, and finally, after retreating a certain distance and seeing Yun Xi had no intention of stopping, Lu Xize, somewhat amused and exasperated, grabbed her wrist: "Two hits are enough, look, my arm is all red from your hits. Are you addicted now?"

Her wrist was suddenly grabbed, and Yun Xi was momentarily stunned. When she met his bright eyes, a trace of unnaturalness appeared on her pretty face, and she quickly averted her gaze, pouting discontentedly, "Who told you to have a sharp tongue first."

"Look, it’s all red." Lu Xize held her hand and rolled up his short sleeve, extending his arm in front of her, where several red palm prints were clearly visible.

Yun Xi merely glanced at it indifferently, pursed her lips, and although she felt a bit guilty inside, she had to maintain her stance and couldn’t back down in front of him, so she defiantly glared at him: "Who was being cheeky and shameless first? You deserve it. People like you will get beaten to death sooner or later, doing a favor for the people, got it?"

"Hey, are you reasonable at all? Which of my words was wrong?"

"Hmm, there’s nothing wrong with what you said, but do you feel satisfied if I say there’s something wrong with your brain?" Yun Xi grinned insincerely, revealing eight white teeth, then rolled her eyes. Only then did she realize her wrist was still held in his palm; unconsciously, her eyebrows furrowed. She tried to shake it off twice, but Lu Xize, instinctively, tightened his grip a little.

"What are you doing? Let go! How long are you going to hold it? Taking advantage of me, are you?" Yun Xi discontentedly scrunched her face, angrily glaring at him, and gestured at the hand he was holding.

Lu Xize paused for a second, raised his eyebrows, and slowly released her hand, smiling as he said, "Don’t go around calling yourself an ’old lady’ at such a young age; it sounds so unrefined. Someone who doesn’t know better might think you’re an old woman, right?"

"Do you want to get hit again?" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"No, definitely not. Don’t over-interpret it." Seeing Yun Xi raise her hand to act as if hitting him, Lu Xize wisely chose to take two small steps back, putting some distance between them, to avoid suffering at her hands again.

"Are you going to move your crappy car or not? My car is stuck, and I can’t get out!" Yun Xi rolled her eyes at him again, not in the mood to banter with him anymore. Her tone resembled someone delivering a final ultimatum.

"Come on! I’ll take you. Even standing here, I can smell the scent of alcohol on you, and if you run into traffic police, you’ll be in trouble. Are you seriously planning to make headlines? Don’t rely on luck in these matters, understand?" Seeing her ferocious little figure, Lu Xize sighed, walked back to her, took out his car key from his pocket, and walked toward his car.

But he found her stubbornly standing there without moving when he opened the car door to get in. He raised his hand to scratch his forehead out of slight frustration and went back to grab her wrist: "Come on, why are you standing here like a statue?"

"I don’t want you to give me a ride. Just drive your car away, and I’ll call a driver myself." Yun Xi had an innate sense of pride and was notoriously stubborn, with a particularly strong sense of self-respect.

Her confession a few days ago was dismissed as a joke, with his words laced with all sorts of ridicule and disdain. Anyone would feel uncomfortable hearing that. Even though Lu Xize took a slap from her, it was definitely insufficient to vent her anger.

Now looking at his carefree demeanor, he clearly didn’t take that confession to heart. He still probably thinks she was just babbling nonsense after drinking, joking around!

So now, just thinking about it inexplicably pisses her off!

If she had a brick in her hand, she wouldn’t hesitate to smack it right on his thick-headed forehead.

"Come on, now’s not the time to be stubborn, okay? Drunk driving is not a joke. Be sensible, let’s go!" Lu Xize pulled her along, but Yun Xi refused to give in, remaining resolute.

"In the middle of the night, can’t you just have a calm conversation without being stubborn?"

"No."

"Then what will it take for you to leave?"

"Grovel."

"Hey! Yun Xi, don’t push it too far! I’m purely looking out for you. Why can’t you tell right from wrong?"

"I can’t tell, so what. You mind your own business. Since you’re not begging, let go of me. I said that day, from now on we’ll go our separate ways, and we’ll never interact again. We’re not familiar with each other." Yun Xi said angrily, with her chin lifted, exuding arrogance.

Lu Xize felt helpless, seeing her stubborn demeanor. He took a deep breath, finally choosing to compromise, lowering his tone: "Alright, consider it as me begging you. Would you please do me the honor of sitting in my limited edition car? Could you embellish it for me? I won’t say thank you for that, okay?"

Even though his attitude was a bit unwilling, Yun Xi felt quite pleased listening to his words. She pouted, raising an eyebrow: "Since you’re so earnest, I guess I can’t not give you face. So... I’ll reluctantly let you take me home! Be grateful!"

Lu Xize nodded with a wry smile: "Yes, yes, yes, I’ll go home and put your picture up and burn some incense, offering daily tributes to thank you for this opportunity." While speaking, he started pulling her towards his car.

"Scram, I’m not dead yet! You’re already cursing me. I’m a person destined to live to a ripe old age. Keep your lousy self far away from me," Yun Xi said with disdain, shaking off his hand, the look in her eyes full of contempt and pride.

Lu Xize laughed at her words: "Tch! Living to a ripe old age, huh?"

"Of course, I’m a person who cherishes life a lot."

"Alright, alright, you cherish life, you cherish life, no one cherishes life more than you. Hurry up and get in!" Lu Xize opened the car door for her. Seeing her standing at the car door of the passenger seat without moving, he simply nudged her in, walking around the front of the car himself before getting into the driver’s seat.

"Seatbelt." As he started the engine, he instinctively glanced at Yun Xi, noticing she hadn’t fastened her seatbelt, prompting him to remind her.

"I know." Yun Xi was taken aback for a moment and retorted defiantly before pulling the seatbelt over and fastening it.

"You know and yet don’t fasten it? Waiting for me to tell you for comfort?"

"Shut your mouth! Such a nice guy, wasted with that lousy mouth."

"Hmm, likewise, such a nice girl with a stubborn temper." Lu Xize started the car, merging slowly into the traffic flow, casually retorting her words.

"Lu Xize, are you deliberately trying to argue with me? Stop the car, I want to get out. If you don’t, I’ll jump out."

Seeing Yun Xi make a move to unfasten her seatbelt, Lu Xize quickly reached out to stop her, his other hand simultaneously locking the car doors, seriously scolding: "Stop making trouble, we’re already on the road, with so many cars around! It’s dangerous! Sit still and don’t move around."
