My Aloof Husband Can't Stop His Devoted Affection-Chapter 595 - 004: Share weal and woe_2

However, at that time, her dad also got remarried, marrying a girl eleven years younger than him. She was quite beautiful, but she was too pretentious. Yun Xi has always been straightforward; if she doesn’t like someone, she just doesn’t like them. She couldn’t pretend to like someone, not in her mindset or expressions. Her younger brother, Yun Yisheng, also didn’t like their so-called ’stepmother,’ so their relationship with their dad was a bit strained, not as close as she was with that German dad abroad.

Moreover, her biological dad and his young new wife weren’t in Nancheng; they were often away, only occasionally coming together for a meal during festivals. Yun Yisheng had been living in Yun Qi’s house since he was young, naturally feeling more affection for Yun Qi’s parents than his own dad.

Yun Xi’s mother also frequently returned to visit Yun Yisheng and often took him to Germany during holidays. So, Yun Yisheng lived quite harmoniously with the German family, much more comfortably than with his biological dad.

It was this kind of family that shaped her into someone who seemed spoiled and stubborn but was actually very fragile inside. She had her bottom line and knew what she wanted. Even Yun Qi pampered her, but Lu Xize was one of the very few who would deny her and even disdain her. This easily triggered her inner fragility and stubbornness, along with some defiant perseverance.

She never cared about competing with others, believing that what’s hers is hers, and what’s not isn’t worth insisting on. She wouldn’t give up her dignity and bottom line for anyone or anything, nor compromise to please anyone.

She was just Yun Xi, a spoiled, willful, and stubborn girl who believed she was the best Yun Xi.

"What’s wrong?" Just as Yun Xi was sinking into infinite panic, a familiar, pleasant voice suddenly came from beside her, seemingly with some concern and interest. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"Hmm?" Yun Xi suddenly looked up at him, quickly shaking her head when she met his gaze: "No, nothing."

"Nothing’s wrong, my ass. The words ’something’s wrong’ are written all over your face. Come on, spill it out, let me hear it, give me a laugh." Lu Xize looked amused, glancing at her unbelievingly.

The expression on Yun Xi’s face almost instantly turned to utter despair. She glared at him fiercely: "Lu Xize, why don’t you just drop dead?"

"No, I plan to live a long life."

"I think you’re more suited to die young."

"Look at that sharp tongue of yours, really not likable."

"As if talking to you is so pleasant, get lost."

Lu Xize raised an eyebrow: "You know, today was a great survival story. The car was wrecked, but we’re perfectly fine. Isn’t that good? We’ve been through thick and thin together, haven’t we?"

"Bullshit, get away."

"I saw the way you looked just now... were you scared?" Lu Xize glanced at the queue screen and saw her name was next, with his just after hers, so he teased her tentatively.

"No." Yun Xi puffed her cheeks, seriously rebutting.

"Oh really, ’no’? It’s clear you were. Were you really scared? It’s just a CT scan, no needles or anything. If you’re really that scared, I guess I can go in with you." Lu Xize said, trying hard to hold back his laughter, afraid that he might accidentally burst out laughing.

Looking at his expression, Yun Xi raised her hand and hit his shoulder twice: "Is that funny? Is it? Still laughing, still laughing, go far away, don’t come near me."

"Hey hey hey, when are you going to stop this habit of hitting people? If I ever die young, it will definitely be because you beat me to death. Can you be a little more ladylike, a bit gentler, please?" As she was about to hit him a third time, Lu Xize stopped dodging and simply caught her wrist, very seriously suggesting.

"No can do. If that day really comes, you should reflect on why you ended up beaten to death. Either your words were too harsh, or you deserved a beating. Moreover, if I beat you to death, you should feel honored. I’ll make sure to send you off properly, and next year’s Qingming Festival, I’ll burn a lot of paper money for you."

"That would be a lonely journey to the afterlife! Why don’t you accompany me then? Maybe we can reincarnate together and meet in the next life, what do you think?"

"Next life? I already find this life too long. Spare me in the next one!"

"I’ll just have to compromise! I’ll find you in the next life?"

"Forget it! With the kind of person you are in this life, it’s uncertain if you’ll even be a human in the next. But you might reincarnate as a roast suckling pig and reunite with me at the dining table." Yun Xi said, becoming quite pleased with herself, her expression turning quite delightful.

"Oh! So young, yet you think so far ahead. As if I’d be keen to run into you in the next life. With someone as handsome and dashing as me, how many chances do you get to meet someone like me in this life, huh? Don’t take it for granted."

"Lu Xize, you..."

"Alright, alright, my fault, I took it for granted. Look, it’s your turn. Let’s go! I’ll begrudgingly accompany you inside. Don’t get emotional; that’s just how generous and upright I am." With that, he stood up, not letting go of her wrist, and led her inside.
