As soon as Wan Jia got back home that evening, she hurriedly went to find Lu Aotian. "Teach me how to fight."

Lu Aotian gave a sideways glance at his wife. What did she just ask him to do?

"Who do you want to fight?"

Wan Jia sat beside him and clung onto his arm. "I only want to defend myself."

Lu Aotian pinched her waist slightly like she was being unreasonable. "You don't have to defend yourself. I will protect you. If I can't do such an obvious thing as protecting my wife, how do I deserve to be her husband?"

Wan Jia had been prepared for that answer. She turned into her serious mode. "If Little Jia and I were both in danger, who would you have to protect?"

"Both of you." He made it sound as though she had asked a very stupid question.

"…"

Of course his answer wouldn't play by her rules.

"But I still can't let you worry about me every time. in small cases of danger, you shouldn't need to bother about it."

Even a dumb idiot would be able to tell by now that his wife was under a threat. It's not that he was completely clueless; he was just amazed that his little wife now wanted to be less dependent on him and able to protect herself.

He pulled her onto his lap. "I will teach you."

Wan Jia was happy now. "I knew my husband loves me the most!"

She kissed his cheek and skipped away.

Lu Aotian: "…"

Can you not be so obvious when you toss me aside after using me?

...

The next morning, Wan Jia didn't have to go to work early, so Lu Aotian pulled her to the training ground. Opposite his personal training ground, a few bodyguards were sparring against each other. They were not surprised to see Lu Aotian but why was the madam with him? Why was she wearing a training outfit?

Surely…he was not planning to teach her martial arts, right?

"Small Xing."

The man called Small Xing rushed over and bowed to them. "Master, madam."

He awaited his orders like he was on the verge of death. He hoped the master was not going to ask him to…

"Teach her some self defense skills."Lu Aotian's voice interrupted him even before he finished hoping.

He looked at Lu Aotian then fearfully glanced at the cute little thing beside his master. He was supposed to teach her? She was so little and soft. Could she even withstand training for a single minute? He would die if he accidentally hurt the madam.

Wan Jia was stunned too. He was not going to teach her himself? But she understood. Perhaps he thought that if he was the one teaching her, she wouldn't pay any attention.

Although Small Xing was scared, he was even more scared of disobeying the boss. He nodded like a rattle drum.

Lu Aotian turned to his wife. "Small Xing will teach you. When you have learnt some skills, you will spar with me."

"Huh?"

Spar with him?

Small Xing was stunned too.

Was the master joking? It couldn't be that he was tired of his wife and was finding an excuse to kill her, right?

Not wanting to waste time, Wan Jia stepped into the training ground with Small Xing.

The young man was very nervous. After giving her some tips, he launched a small attack. Even as a complete novice, counterattacking was too easy.

Lu Aotian glared at him. "Don't go easy on her."

Small Xing was on the verge of crying. Master, did I do something wrong? Why do you have to make my life so difficult?

The next time, he increased his strength a little but still received a dissatisfied glare from his master.

Wan Jia paused and smiled at Lu Aotian. "Honey, could you leave a little? Small Xing is scared of your presence.

Sure enough, the young man was less scared when Lu Aotian retreated a distance away.

…

"Madam, your progress is quite fast. Within just a few months, you might become a professional."

"You are too kind. I still have a very long way to go."

Somewhere in the distance, the other bodyguards were looking at them with jealousy. They started putting their feelings into words as soon as they saw Lu Aotian disappear from his watching spot.

"Tsk, he's just a little boy. Why does master have to give him such an important role as teaching madam?"

"He must have sucked up to Master."

"Do you think anyone can suck up to master? It's obviously because his skills are the most horrible. The rest of us would hurt madam."

When Small Xiao overhead them, he squinted his eyes. Horrible skills? If the master thought so, he wouldn't ever let him near his wife.

They had always looked down on him because of his age and physique that was smaller than them. He really wanted to prove to everyone that he was not some useless pretty boy.

Wan Jia looked at him clench his fists. "Ignore them. If a blunt rookie like me learns a thing or two, who would I have to thank for that?"

The young man felt a smile surface on his face when he heard Wan Jia's words. That was right. If he could actually teach the madam, it would prove his ability.

After training for a while, Wan Jia felt more confident in herself. She looked for Lu Aotian and saw him on a phone call with his back to her. Sneakily, she rushed up and tried to sneak attack him from behind.

In the next second.

"Ouch! Aotian, I'm your wife, okay?"

"If I go easy on you, you will never learn."
