Wan Jia pondered whether to wait for him to calm down before talking to him. However, he seemed to be getting angrier by the minute. Even Little Jia was so frightened by him that she fled to play in the garden.

In the end, she decided to bite the bullet and explain things to him.

After the 11-hour long flight, he was very tired and did not go to Lu Enterprises. She guessed that he must be resting in his room. Gathering her courage, she stealthily opened the door to his room and peered inside.

Lu Aotian was lying in bed with his eyes closed when he heard the door open very carefully. "Why are you here?" he asked coldly.

Wan Jia knew that she had already gone too far. She walked to him and sat on his bed. "My love, listen to my explanation, okay?"

"What do you have to say?"

"I was curious. Aotian, If you were in my shoes, wouldn't you want to seek the truth too? I didn't want to believe anything without confirming it."

"So you couldn't ask me for help and decided to go down the dangerous road instead? You should get your brain checked; an insect must have crawled in there." he scolded.

"How was it dangerous? We were very careful and didn't everything turn out fine in the end?"

He glared at her. "You call that fine? From what I saw, you got Madam Yun's location wrong. What if the person you were wrong about was that man instead? Would you still be alive? You even think it's something to be proud of? You should be ashamed of yourself!"

Wan Jia had no way to refute this. He was right. If the person who went back home at that time was not Madam Yun, they would be dead. She was in fact only alive because Madam Yun liked her. What if she hated her?

She had been wrong. He had agreed to investigate the matter safely but she went behind his back and did it in a dangerous way, even dragging his only brother into the pit with her. She had been selfish...

Lu Aotian continued to scold. "I only went away for three days and you were already all over the place seeking death. If I went for a week, would you grow tiny wings on your back and fly to the sky? Do you think you're a bird?"

He grabbed her chin and looked into her eyes. "Do the two of you know how worried I was? You only cared about your own curiosity. Did you think about what would happen if anything happened to you and Shaoting? Did you even think about how father, Little Jia and I would feel? There are only five people in this family. By endangering two of them, do you want the three of us to die in agony?"

This was the first time he had scolded her for this long. She hung her head low and didn't say anything, silently admitting her fault.

"You...I have said everything I had to say to you. You may leave."

She looked up at him innocently. "My love, I was wrong. I'm sorry."

He ignored her and lay back down, closing his eyes.

She grabbed his arm and swayed it sideways, speaking in a very cute voice. "Baby, I will not do it again."

Lu Aotian knitted his brows with his eyes still closed. "Even if you act cute with me, I will not forgive you."

"Husband..."

"Not even if you call me 'husband'.

Wan Jia heard what he said and let go of his arm. He was still angry. After thinking a bit, she bolted into the kitchen and came back minutes later with two durians. She was out of breath as she said coaxingly, "My love, I'll punish myself by kneeling on durians, okay?"

Lu Aotian did not even open his eyes. "Even if you crawl on a path full of durians, you will not get away with this."

She put the durians away in disappointment. Just what should she do?...Got it!

Lu Aotian was surprised when the girl went away with the durians and didn't go back even after a long time. Had she given up? Disappointment crept into his heart.

In actual fact, he was not angry anymore after scolding her. He just wanted to be coaxed a little. But wasn't she giving up too early? He was pondering whether to call her when he heard her footsteps approaching. He lay back down and pretended to close his eyes.

When the door opened, the sweet aroma of food wafted in. "Baby, I cooked for you something yummy. Do you want to try it?"

"No."

"It's your favorite..."

"I don't." he dismissed it.

"Oh..." she went away sadly.

Minutes later, she came back with massage oil. "Baby, you must be tired after the long flight. Can I give you a massage? You will definitely like it.

"No." Unless you massage a certain part of my body, he thought.

Wan Jia set aside the massage oil, took a deep breath and whipped out her ultimate weapon.

The room sank into silence. Just as he was about to open his eyes and see what she was doing, he felt someone crawl onto his body and kiss his lips.

She had taken off her dress and only had her undergarments on now. She rubbed her body against him and whispered in his ear. "Husband, forgive me this once, okay?"
