The Marquis' Wife

Prefect Zhong Response

Lu Xiang went home and immediately looked for Adelia and smiled with relief at her wife explaining the multiplication calculations to Lu Cheng and Lu Shan patiently. He sat down next to his brother and listened in silence.

A gentle yet strong affectionate gaze made Adelia realize her whereabouts. "Lu Xiang's. You're home yet?".

"Pur".

Adelia saw her husband who did not want to get out of his seat and went back to explain the multiplication calculation to his two sisters-in-law.

"That's the explanation, now you have to memorize multiplication 1x1 to 10x10 to make it easier for you to calculate, this is the multiplication table". Adelia gave one large piece of paper which she had written multiplications of 1 to 10 to Lu Cheng and Lu Shan.

Lu Cheng accepted it with a serious face and was convinced that he could memorize the multiplication while Lu Shan accepted reluctantly, alas~ his homework was increasing.

Heavy breathing made Adelia smile amusedly, she stroked her sister's hair with anxiety. "You don't have to hurry in memorizing what's important you know where the multiplication you've memorized comes from. You understand Lu Shan?".

"Understand brother" Lu Shan nodded strongly then quietly breathed a sigh of relief. The words of his sister-in-law released the burden on his shoulders.

Finished studying, Lu Xiang's family dined harmoniously. Adelia looked at her husband who did not say anything whether he told her about what happened today to Prefect Zhong.

Lu Xiang placed the side dish onto his wife's plate which was reciprocated with a sweet smile.

Lu Cheng who saw that also gave a side dish to the plate Adelia followed by Lu Shan.

Adelia became speechless looking at the side dishes stacked on top of the rice dishes. "I can't eat this much".

"Eat, you must eat a lot to be healthy baby".

"Yes brother. Don't get sick, you have to eat a lot to stay fit" Lu Cheng agreed to her brother's words.

Adelia twists a speechless eyeball. "Don't you see that my body has become fat?" He even puffed his cheeks to make it look that he was really starting to get obese.

Lu Xiang smiled cutely, chubby cheeks making Adelia look even more cute in addition to her round and bright eyes. Can't stand it, he pinched the cheek of the bakpao that made Adelia snort riled.

"You're not fat, baby. You only contain because there's our son in your stomach. So eat a lot so you and our kids can be healthy". Lu Xiang put the side dish back on his wife's plate.

Afterward, Adelia ignored her husband and focused on his food but secretly pinched his waist which began to contain and became increasingly irritated but could not do anything about his condition.

After dinner, Adelia sees Lu Yan, Lu Mei and Lu Fang's work on parfait, their new summer menu.

Adelia has conducted a trial to make a refrigerator that has a front side to store the parfait and behind it is given ice cubes, the middle side of the connector he gave a small hole of two marbles so that the parfait became cold but did not succeed because the thin glass shelf was unable to hold ice cubes.

After several times he ordered the glass cabinets that he improved his design finally he was able to make manual refrigerators for parfait.

Adelia also needs time to order a lot of parfait jars so that in July she can bring out the new menu. The response of jam and bread is quite good but because the manufacture is easy, not how long there are others who sell the same products with De Xiang store so that fruit jam and bread are not in line with tart cakes.

Adelia dried her long hair in front of the mirror, looking at her increasingly filled and chubby self, she let out a long sigh, he felt distrustful of his current body even though he knew that he was wrong to think that way but still he felt insecure.

Lu Xiang who finished the bath saw his wife who was in a bad mood. He took over the towel and gently wiped his wife's long hair.

"What do you think, baby?".

Adelia looked at Lu Xiang in the mirror. "Lu Xiang, tell me the truth. Am I just full and not fat?"

Lu Xiang hugged his wife from behind. "No dear. You're just pregnant, now you look sexy in my eyes".

"I don't like thin, full or fat women. I just like you no matter whether you're direct or fat, I just like Miao Adelia" Lu Xiang kissed his wife's cheeks and neck.

Adelia smiled sweetly and haru although she knew Lu Xiang's words were just persuasion but her heart was like doused in sugar, sweet feelings, happy and happy mixed with could not be described.

"Hehe, you're so good at persuading me".

"I'm telling you the truth" Lu Xiang said with a serious face. Her response further made Adelia's smile expand.

"Oh yeah. What about your meeting with Prefect Zhong? Is it going well?".

Lu Xiang again dried Adelia's hair while replying. "Everything went well. In two weeks I will go to Shu village with Prefect Zhong to see the final result of the embankment project".

Adelia nodded in understanding. "How many days are you going to go?".

"I don't know, maybe 3 to 5 days".

Adelia was weaving her lips, it had been a long time that Lu Xiang had not traveled making her become unaccustomed to taking her husband out of town again.

"You miss me already?" The ignorant tone made Adelia shake her head not to confess.

"No. Who is jealous".

"really?" Lu Xiang slowly combed his wife's hair.

"Yes. I. I'll miss you after you're gone, now no".

Lu Xiang laughed happily making Adelia's face flushed in embarrassment. "You're so sweet dear".

She held Adelia in bridal style and laid her on the bed and lay by her side, looking gently at her beloved wife, playing with her long hair and kissing her.

"You don't have to worry. The woman who came to you this afternoon won't bother you anymore".

"Eh! You reported it to Prefect Zhong?!" Adelia thought that Lu Xiang did not inform Prefect Zhong in the meeting earlier this afternoon because he did not discuss it at all.

"Yes. How could I have been silent to hear my wife being angered by someone else".

Adelia clasped Lu Xiang's hand which played her hair while looking worriedly at her. "Is it okay you do that? What if your relationship with Prefect Zhong becomes tenuous just because of this trivial matter".

"Sayang~. The trivial matter you think about is not trivial in my eyes. My wife who I never got angry with was scolded by others how could I just keep quiet?. Besides you don't worry, I told Prefect Zhong subtly, Prefect Zhong will definitely find out in detail and will judge for himself. I also want to test whether my relationship with Prefect Zhong can be strained again or not".

The long explanation finally made Adelia feel relieved, she kissed Lu Xiang's lips and smiled sweetly. "Thank you dear. You always prioritized me over yourself".

Lu Xiang did not waste the rare opportunity that Adelia took the initiative, he cupped his wife's cheek deepening a kiss that turned into a wet kiss.

His hands move down and prepare Adelia to be able to accept her man, that night the two men began a sweaty relationship with a tempestuous heart.

The next day, Qiao Xue visited Adelia's house with a hand. He did not discuss about the problems made by the mother-in-law's nephew, just chatted and talked about asking about the news and rumors circulating in Fucheng.

But Adelia knew that this was the response that Prefect Zhong had given her over the matter, perhaps Liang Chenyue would come back to apologize. Prefect Zhong's response made Adelia breathe a sigh of relief as her husband was able to forge even closer ties with the wise official.
