Chapter 125 - Perfect Shot

Even after dinner, Xiu Mei didn't spare a single glance to Lu Chen. Lu Chen didn't give up and stuck close to his wife even after dinner.

"Wife, I'm sorry." He continuously apologized to Xiu Mei while hugging her from the back. Xiu Mei who was busy placing the dirty plates on the dishwasher nudged him with her elbow. After setting the dishwasher, she stepped on his foot and pinched on his hand that was on her stomach.

"!" Lu Chen jumped in surprise after being pinched by his wife with her nails. The back of his hand was stinging and thankfully, she wasn't wearing her heels else his feet would be a victim too ah.

Xiu Mei pushed him away as soon as his hold on her loosened. She walked over to Lu Qiang who was waiting on the sofa. Their son was enjoying watching his parents on the side while his father chased after his mother.

"Darling, let's get you to bed?"

Lu Qiang peeked at his Dad behind his Mom. He thought that he looked pitiful so he still lent him some helping hand.

Lu Qiang tugged on his Mom's clothes, pulling her so she would bend down.

"What is it, Baby?"

"I'll sleep on my own today. See you tomorrow for breakfast, Mom!" Then he kissed her on the cheek and dashed upstairs leaving no room for Xiu Mei to react.

"..."

Did her son just ditch her with his Dad?

Xiu Mei was planning to go straight to her room since Lu Qiang didn't need her to read for him tonight but she was startled when Lu Chen suddenly knelt in both knees in front of her.

Oh my G.o.d, what was Lu Chen suddenly doing?

She finally looked at him wide agape, baffled by his actions.

"What the heck are you doing?" She asked.

"We don't have any washboard at home since we use was.h.i.+ng machines for laundry but I promise to bring back one tomorrow. So wife, could you please forgive me this time? I know I am in the wrong ah." Lu Chen blurted out.

"..."

So he was originally thinking of kneeling on the washboard ah? That's… not so bad.

But even though Xiu Mei was fascinated with that idea, she wasn't going to forgive Lu Chen that easily. This man in front of her ignored her messages and calls making her worry for him for a whole week. And now, he popped out at home and acted as if he didn't go missing for a few days?

What? Did he not think she would worry? Did he really think of her as his wife?

Xiu Mei just glanced at him for a second before pa.s.sing by him to climb upstairs. She finally decided that she should torture him for a little longer ah. It's the price to pay for making her worry so much.

On the other hand, Lu Chen who was still ignored by Xiu Mei felt more dejected. Why did he forget that his wife was the type to be the hardest to coax ah!?

He felt like slapping himself for suddenly disappearing on her. He didn't even need to ask why Xiu Mei was angry, and he thought that he was actually prepared for it. But why does he never learn from his mistakes ah?

It's not like this is the first time Xiu Mei ignored him when she's angry ah.

After seeing Xiu Mei disappear from his line of sight, he deeply sighed as he weakly stood up. He sat on the couch and pulled out his phone. He opened Baidu and searched for different ways to coax a wife.

The next day, Xiu Mei was woken up by her son who looked very excited. He even almost jumped on her when he climbed on her bed.

"Baby, what is it?" Xiu Mei uttered while groggy. She rubbed her eyes and glanced at her clock.

It was half an hour past six.

Why did Lu Qiang wake up so early ah?

Xiu Mei rose from her bed and pulled the little kid into her arms for a cuddle.

"Why did my darling baby wake up early ah?"

"Dad said he'll bring us today at the shooting range!!"

"Mhm, that's goo—ah?"

Her mind instantly cleared up after hearing that.

"Come on, Mom! Let's go!!" Lu Qiang wiggled in her arms to escape. After kissing her on her cheeks, he swiftly exited her room.

Xiu Mei chuckled while rising from the bed. He's really excited ah.

But then she frowned, thinking about the fact that Lu Qiang likes to go to shooting ranges ah. Right now, she was actually considering bringing her to her Mom or her Grandfather so they could at least discipline him that guns are not toys that he should randomly use. Besides, going to the army can be his option since he seems to like using guns. In the army, he can train by using guns.

Xiu Mei quickly changed and went downstairs. The maids have already served breakfast and her husband and son were already waiting for her at the table. She greeted Lu Qiang but ignored Lu Chen.

"Ehem!" Lu Chen started, clearing his throat. Xiu Mei glanced at him and saw him pulling out something from behind him.

"Goodmorning, Wife." Lu Chen said while handing over the bouquet of red roses to her. She paused for a second, considering whether to accept it or not. She looked at the roses again and thought it was beautiful.

Fine, she can accept the flowers ah.

"Oh." Xiu Mei dryly replied, accepting the flowers. Lu Chen felt elated when his wife accepted the flowers. He was contented with the short reply he received and didn't push for it anymore.

Slowly ah, slowly. He has to coax and spoil the wife so she can forgive him.

After that breakfast, the three of them finally went to the shooting range. With Lu Qiang sitting in between them, Lu Chen didn't have the chance to b.u.t.t in and stick to his wife.

When Xiu Mei finally arrived at their destination, she was pleasantly surprised at the scenery the moment she got off the vehicle. Just like the property she brought her before, this was also surrounded by greeneries but this time, it looked more like a private resort with modern touches. Inside, she gasped in awe by the vast green gra.s.s that looked very scenic in front of her. She was very tempted to take a picture of it ah!

"What is this for?" She couldn't help but ask Lu Chen. Her eyes curiously and excitedly scanned the new surroundings.

Lu Chen felt happy when Xiu Mei first talked to him. He quickly responded to her question.

"It's a private property that my friends and I own. I have the golf course here, as well as a shooting range, archery area, and a ski area just around the back of this area. Lu Qiang also trains his horse riding here."

Xiu Mei gasped in awe. She really wondered how much is actually Lu Chen's wealth ah. To be able to own this place really costs a fortune. She really wanted to show this place to the people who gossip about her seducing Lu Chen because she has money ah.

Look, she was even thinking that Lu Chen might be even richer than her right now. Her family doesn't even spend this much just for this kind of thing ah!

After walking for a few minutes, they finally arrived at the shooting area. The three of them changed into a more appropriate attire. After that, he brought them to the armory area where they get to choose the gun for their liking.

Lu Qiang excitedly pointed at a gun he liked so Lu Chen grabbed it for him. Xiu Mei chose a revolver for a start. Since she grew up in a military family, she had a decent experience and knowledge for firing a gun.

Lu Chen stood behind Lu Qiang for the first few shots to correct his posture and teach him stuff. On the other hand, Xiu Mei stood at the next cubicle and started shooting on her own. After the mother and son pair were done, they checked their paper shooting target.

"Mom, you…" Lu Qiang quickly shut his mouth without even finis.h.i.+ng his sentence. He threw a pitiful look at his Mom and the holes on the paper with the majority of the holes outside of the circle. It looked like his Mom even missed some shots ah.

Xiu Mei embarra.s.sedly tore the paper in front of her. Now that she thought about it, it's been years since she last had practice ah. My gawd, did her shooting ability deteriorated that much after not practicing?

She quickly refilled her bullets. She put up a new paper and waited for it to move away in front of her.

Seeing that the paper was already far enough, she positioned herself and raised her arms. She was still trying to fix her hold while targeting it at the center when she felt something warm enclosing her body. The next thing she knew, another hand was resting on hers as it guided her to a better position.

"Loosen up, then shoot." A voice whispered behind her.

Xiu Mei unconsciously listened to his words and relaxed. Then she pulled the trigger and the resounding sound of the gun she fired echoed in the room.

The three people looked at the monitor just above her.

It was a perfect shot landing on the smallest circle in the middle of the paper.
