Chapter 52 - ~Hard Training~

Xiao Long finally decided to ignore Qiao Xin, who kept screaming in pain. The training she was going through was a military drill that would kill her, causing Xiao Long only to hold his breath while massaging the bridge of his nose. After entering the room, his mother immediately followed Xiao Long, which made Xiao Long turn around. Again, his mother brought a tray with a crystal glass on top of which contained herbs that Xiao Long didn't like, causing Xiao Long, who had just taken off his coat, to hug. Even Xiao Long didn't seem to be given the time to take a shower.

"Xiao, you should drink this," his mother said. Xiao Long seemed to be holding his breath, walking closer to his mother while pulling an eyebrow with that annoyed look on his face.

"Mom, isn't there any other potion as weird as this one? why after i got married i had to drink this weird potion every night? Why does it have to be night? Why not morning or afternoon?"

"Because you work in the morning, you are still at the office in the afternoon," replied his mother, which managed to silence Xiao Long. What his mother said was true. "This Xiao is just a potion, is there something wrong?"

"I always find it weird drinking that, Mother. I feel that if…." Xiao Long's words fell silent. How could he possibly tell his mother that he had such feelings of excitement just from drinking the potion? "Never mind, I don't want to drink it anymore. I couldn't sleep all night and my heart was pounding just because of the potion."

"That means there is a lot of poison in your body," said Xiao Long's mother, Xiao Long immediately raised an eyebrow at his mother's answer. "Yes, because this potion will remove the poison in your body, so after the poison is gone you will feel physical and spiritual health," his mother smiled again, making Xiao Long a bit unsure. If Qiao Xin could have been fooled because Xiao Long knew she was very innocent, she was easily fooled. That's why she wanted to be fooled by her ex-boyfriend for years, even more so by her best friend. Xiao Long never expected that he would marry the dumbest woman in the world. "Qiqi has already drunk her share, you drink your share, Mother will not go anywhere before you drink this,"

Since Xiao Long couldn't stand his mother's scolding anymore, Xiao Long immediately took a sip of the drink without further ado, after which he looked at his mother to let her out. Seeing his mother come out, Xiao Long started to take off his clothes. Going to take a warm bath would probably put his mind at ease now.

Meanwhile, Qiao Xin seemed to have finished training. However, she was already determined to continue his training in the room. She rushed into the room and put some of her practice equipment. Qiao Xin also took a bath towel, stepped into the bathroom, but the bathroom was locked. She knew that Xiao Long had gone home, and now she had to give in and wait again until Xiao Long came out of the bathroom. Qiao Xin sat in front of the door, hugging her legs, not feeling her eyes starting to feel heavy. This practice from early in the morning until this late made Qiao Xin's body uncompromising, and she was tired, very tired. But she can't give up, the weekend is just around the corner, and until now, she hasn't mastered any of the lessons given by her private tutor. If only this didn't affect the work of all her private tutors, maybe Qiao Xin would have given up. But she didn't want them to lose their jobs just because of her.

Not long after, Qiao Xin fell asleep in her seat, making Xiao Long, who just came out of the bathroom, seem surprised to see Qiao Xin sitting so calmly. Xiao Long almost shouted at Qiao Xin, but he stopped when he saw that Qiao Xin's breathing seemed to be irregular. Yes, Qiao Xin was asleep.

Xiao Long was now squatting in front of Qiao Xin, he wanted to wake her up, but he was silent. He saw bruises on her arms, then the rest of her body. Xiao Long fell silent again, without a word, he immediately lifted Qiao Xin's body and walked towards the bed. Xiao Long was again silent, between the floor below and his comfortable bed. Then he laid Qiao Xin on his bed, and he decided to change into his clothes to get back to work quickly.

It had been almost an hour, Qiao Xin began to stir restlessly in her sleep. After realising that she hadn't showered yet and needed to practice again, Qiao Xin immediately woke up. She sat up, looking at the place she was sleeping on.

Bed?

Qiao Xin didn't feel like she was sleeping on the bed? From her last memory, she sat beside the bathroom door, and then she fell asleep. So, how's the story now that Qiao Xin is in bed? What if Xiao Long found out he would burn his bed because Qiao Xin slept in his bed.

Qiao Xin then turned her head, from the direction of a room with a glass door wide open, there was a fairly large room containing shelves full of neatly lined books, an L-shaped sofa along with the table, a table on the other side. In the middle, a computer screen complete with a keyboard and several piles of files, Xiao Long sat there quietly, opposite Xiao Long's chair. Qiao Xin was sure that the room was Xiao Long's study.

With the courage that Qiao Xin mustered up, she walked over, stepped closer to Xiao Long, then stood on one of the chairs in front of Xiao Long's desk.

"I…" Qiao Xin paused. Xiao Long just kept quiet, and he continued to type some work quietly. "Why am I on the bed? Were you the one who moved me there?" she asked then.

Hearing this, Xiao Long pressed his keyboard keys hard, causing Qiao Xin to almost jump in shock.

"Don't you know what you've done? You walk like a fool when you sleep, then you climb on my bed. I really don't know, how can there be a terrible woman like you. I think you should have yourself checked, you are most likely not a normal woman, and unfortunately I married you," Xiao Long replied, which hurt Qiao Xin.

"Esteemed Young Mr. Han, is it true that I sleepwalk or whatever. but I think, this is the first time I experienced it. The problem now is that there are only two, the first is this is the first time I've experienced it, and the second you're just bragging. Well, since I don't remember anything, I'll give in, because I don't want to waste this precious time of mine just messing around with stupid things like that!" said Qiao Xin. She started walking towards the bathroom, making Xiao Long chuckle at that.

"Strange woman," Xiao Long muttered, returning his focus to his work.

Before long, the silence that made Xiao Long focus on work changed instantly. How not, the noise from Qiao Xin's cell phone bothered Xiao Long. He saw in his bedroom, Qiao Xin seemed to be practising dancing to the accompaniment of quite loud music.

Xiao Long initially tried to ignore that, and he tried his best to ignore whatever Qiao Xin did. But over time,

Brake!!

"Ouch! Sick!" shouted Qiao Xin. She fell perfectly on the floor, causing Xiao Long, who had been desperately holding back his emotions and patience, to explore as well.

Xiao Long walked with wide strides, approached Qiao Xin and turned off the music coming out of Qiao Xin's cell phone.

"Are you never satisfied with interfering with my life, Qiqi? How can you play music that loud in your room in the middle of the night like this? Don't you know that I'm at work? You're distracting me!" Xiao Long snapped.

Qiao Xin, who was still sitting on the floor, looked at Qiao Long with great hatred, she immediately pushed Xiao Long's body, but it was impossible. Xiao Long's huge body would never be able to move an inch back with her little fingers.

"Don't you understand who forced me to do this? it's even you and your family that require me to train like a horse like this. and you just say it and blame it all on me? If you don't want to be disturbed, then just plug your ear with an airphone, won't that way you don't need to hear me practice anymore? And you can also close your study door so you don't have to watch me practice. You're a crazy, mean, and meanest man I've ever met!"

Xiao Long's jaw tightened, but he didn't say anything. He went straight back into his work, closed the work room door tightly, then he sat down, hitting his desk. Xiao Long really can't understand why he has to deal with such an annoying woman like Qiao Xin, and this is a curse that makes Xiao Long want to end it immediately.

After the fight, both of them were silent, and the atmosphere was equally silent. Xiao Long seemed odd, even though he wasn't using the airphone or anything, but he didn't hear any music anymore, only the occasional noise because Qiao Xin had fallen. Then, Xiao Long started walking and opened the study door slightly, peeking in the smallest gap there. Xiao Long saw Qiao Xin using the airphone, the woman seemed to sit back down while stroking her knee, it was obvious that the knee was bruised, and that again silenced Xiao Long.
