Chapter 100: Chapter 100: Martial Arts Enlightenment

Fu Xiaoxiao stared wide-eyed, pointing at the man in front of her who suddenly became too much for her to handle. "You... you weren’t like this before..."

"You’re my wife, we got the certificate." Lu Feng grabbed Fu Xiaoxiao’s hand, saying seriously, "I’ll spend more time at home with you in the future, and just hand the tasks over to Fu Cheng so he can earn more military merits."

Fu Xiaoxiao was stunned. "But..."

Hearing that Lu Feng was giving all the tasks to Fu Cheng, she knew Lu Feng wanted to help Fu Cheng establish himself quickly in the army, but wouldn’t such a loss of opportunity be his own...

"I’m already the youngest current regiment commander in the army, even if I gain more military merits, they’d only suppress me. I’d rather give this opportunity to Fu Cheng and use this time to turn my fake wife into a real one. Don’t you agree?" Lu Feng chuckled lightly, his indifferent tone made it seem as if he were giving up only small benefits.

Fu Xiaoxiao listened to his words, and her heart couldn’t deny feeling touched.

"Since it’s not for me, I don’t need to feel moved." Fu Xiaoxiao smiled lightly.

"...How is it not for you? I did it all for you." Lu Feng switched his tone from indifferent to eager.

"Nonsense, you’re clearly doing it for yourself." Fu Xiaoxiao huffed and turned to walk into the courtyard.

"...You’re not wrong there." Lu Feng nodded, indeed he was doing it for himself.

The girl he liked was already his wife; if he still didn’t seize this heaven-sent opportunity to pursue his wife, he’d be a fool!

"I heard there’s a market before the last winter days. Do you want to go?" Lu Feng caught up with her and asked with a smile.

"Can we go?" Fu Xiaoxiao’s eyes lit up, she wanted to go.

"I... I want to go too!" Lu Chen, who was playing with a little wolf cub, jumped up to express his presence.

"Our whole family can go." Lu Feng smiled.

"Before that, there’s something we need to do." Fu Xiaoxiao looked at Lu Feng seriously.

"You want to take Xiao Lin to see his mother?" Lu Feng hadn’t forgotten, but he didn’t want Lu Lin to get hurt again. "What if... he gets hurt again?"

"It’s the child’s own wish; if you don’t let him go, it will become a thorn in his heart." Fu Xiaoxiao looked at Lu Feng, she couldn’t refuse Lu Lin due to fear of getting hurt. Having promised him, she couldn’t go back on her word.

Besides, wanting to see his mother is natural, how could anyone stop him?

She didn’t want Lu Lin to harbor any kind of thorn in his heart during their interactions.

"You’re right, let’s go! I’ll personally drive you all there!" Lu Feng thought it over and supported Fu Xiaoxiao’s decision; she was right.

"On the way, let’s visit Mr. Bai; it’s been a while since we saw him." Fu Xiaoxiao ruffled Lu Chen’s hair, Lu Chen pouted, not wanting his brother to be upset.

But his brother insisted, even after many attempts to persuade him.

"Mom, brother just doesn’t listen to me; I said mom would scold him, but he didn’t believe me." Lu Chen pouted unhappily.

"Why do you dislike your mother so much?" Lu Feng asked curiously, grabbing Lu Chen’s head to turn it toward him.

Lu Chen was switched to face Lu Feng. "Dad, before uncle came to take mom away, grandma came over once."

Their mom had met her mother before she was taken away, and Lu Chen was catching ants when he overheard the conversation between them in the room.

Young Lu Chen didn’t know what being abandoned as burdens or remarrying meant, but he remembered their conversation.

Until later, he and his brother were abandoned by their mother and left to wander the streets.

At such a young age, he finally understood that mom decided not to want him and his brother on that day.

"I heard grandma say she didn’t want us as burdens, and mom remarried... Later, uncle came and took mom away, leaving me and brother at home." Lu Chen turned and hugged Fu Xiaoxiao, needing her embrace.

Fu Xiaoxiao held Lu Chen with heartache; he was so young when he heard his mother didn’t want him, not understanding at the time, but understood only after suffering, equating to being hurt twice.

"No wonder you accept things faster than Lu Lin; that’s the reason. It’s tough for you." Fu Xiaoxiao ruffled Lu Chen’s hair, his young head was supposed to be carefree.

But at his young age, he learned to observe and judge.

"It’s not tough! I have a mom now." Lu Chen snuggled against Fu Xiaoxiao, voluntarily kissing her cheek.

"You brat, she’s my wife." Lu Feng, expressionless, pulled Lu Chen out of Fu Xiaoxiao’s embrace.

He hadn’t kissed her yet, and this brat kept kissing and hugging and even slept in the same bed with her!

"Dad, how can you make Mrs. Fu like you like this? I’m mom’s son." Lu Chen was hoisted into the air without fear. "If you dare bully me..."

"You brat want a spanking?" Lu Feng’s eyes narrowed.

Feeling the animosity, Lu Chen pouted. "Mom, dad wants to hit me! Save me..."

"Why are you competing with a child! Bullying kids, you’re really capable." Fu Xiaoxiao quickly took Lu Chen back, glaring at Lu Feng.

"..." Lu Feng pointed at himself in shock, then looked at Lu Chen in Fu Xiaoxiao’s arms, making faces at him.

Of course, the kid sided with outsiders.

"I think? At his age, it’s genuinely time to start knowledge-building; didn’t you want to become stronger to protect your mom? Now’s the time to lay down good foundations, how about I start training you now?" Lu Feng smiled at Lu Chen, the meaning behind his words was clear.

Fu Xiaoxiao considered it, looking at Lu Chen.

Lu Chen looked conflicted; on one hand, he indeed wanted to learn from Lu Feng, yet intuition told him Lu Feng wouldn’t easily let him off, unsure how he’d be bullied.

"Maybe he’s too young? Should we wait a couple more years?" Fu Xiaoxiao looked at Lu Chen’s tiny arms and legs, wondering if training was too early.

"It’s not too late; good foundations are laid in childhood, accumulated step by step to bring massive success." Lu Feng said earnestly.

"You see, rapid movement like this suits him just right." Lu Feng lightly tapped his feet on the ground, suddenly appearing in front of Fu Xiaoxiao with a speed she couldn’t even react to, then returned to his original position.

Lu Chen remembered the scene when Fu Xiaoxiao was injured protecting him; if he had learned this move then, perhaps he could’ve dodged and Fu Xiaoxiao wouldn’t have been hurt.

"I want to learn, I want to learn! I definitely want to learn this!" Lu Chen indeed fell for it.
