Chapter 278: Chapter 203: The Trinity Great Chapter

The flickering red candles magnified their silhouettes several times over, projecting them onto the wall. Chuxia stared at the bulging shapes on the wall, lost in a daze.

She hadn’t been held in someone’s arms to sleep since she was three years old, and now, locked tightly in Zhou Mikang’s embrace, feeling his warm breath, she couldn’t fall asleep.

His stiff, backward-leaning posture and the slightly heavy breathing made it clear that he wasn’t asleep either. She wanted to chat with him but didn’t know what to say, so she simply stared at the wall in a daze.

Ever since she asked Zhou Mikang if he knew how to be in love, he had been silent, obviously protesting her questioning.

Such a proud man!

She wasn’t questioning him, but rather, she disagreed with some attitudes toward emotions in this era and wanted to communicate with him. If she could prompt some proper changes, it would be a win.

But from his attitude, she knew it was pointless to try, so she simply shut up and didn’t make another sound. However, this silent coexistence was very uncomfortable.

Her body was becoming stiff from lying still, and she really wanted to turn over—but she didn’t know how to face him and so tried hard to endure it.

"So stupid!"

Before Chuxia could grasp what "So stupid" meant coming from someone else, her head spun, and then... she was face-to-face with Captain Tongzi.

With tightly furrowed brows, Captain Tongzi said, "If you want to turn over, just do it. Why be as stiff as a plank? Didn’t I say I’d give you time? Don’t you trust me?"

Chuxia reflexively shrank her head back at being so abruptly face-to-face, "Can’t you speak nicely? Just now, I asked if you knew how to be in love and you got upset. With your rotten attitude, how can we have a proper conversation?"

"Reading too many nonsense books gets you all these wild thoughts!"

Chuxia suddenly sat up, angrily widening her eyes, "Do you know what I dislike most about you? It’s your habit of making decisions without consulting me!"

"When have I ever made decisions without consulting you? What have I done without asking for your opinion? Lie down and sleep, stop the fuss!"

"When have you ever asked for my opinion? Whether it’s my work or our marriage, haven’t you been the one making all the decisions? Do I have a say in anything? Since you want me to be your wife, you should treat me equally, respect me!"

Zhou Mikang also sat up abruptly, "Is it that you really want to work with Jing Zhe?"

Seeing Captain Tongzi’s furious face and hearing his angry tone, Chuxia’s irritation fizzled out and she couldn’t help but smile, revealing small dimples, "Can I take that as you being jealous?"

"Jealous of what? I’ve married you home, why would I be jealous?" Zhou Mikang glared at her resentfully, "I see I’ve spoiled you too much, letting you develop all these bad temperaments!"

The smile on Chuxia’s face instantly stiffened, "What do you mean by that?"

"Chuxia..." Zhou Mikang softened his voice, "Today is our big wedding day, can we not make a fuss, please?"

"I..." Chuxia exhaled deeply, looking at Zhou Mikang earnestly, "I’m not making a fuss with you; you’re the one who made me angry, saying that you’ve spoiled me too much and let me develop a bunch of bad habits.

You knew I had a temper from the start, and I told you that I couldn’t suddenly become an obedient, good wife and mother just because I married you.

I can’t do submissive and silent; if you want a wife who centers her life around you and agrees with everything you say, I might not be the right one."

"What are you trying to say with that?" Zhou Mikang’s expression turned cold, "On a day like today, you’re saying these things to me—Lin Chuxia, do you think that’s appropriate? I can indulge you because you’re young, but you’re not a child anymore, and you should think before you speak. You can be willful about other things, but not this one!"

"Actually..." Chuxia’s shoulders suddenly slumped, "Actually, our personalities aren’t compatible. You’re so stubborn and I’m not someone who’s submissive. It’s only the first day, and we’ve already started arguing, in the future..."

Hearing the choke in her voice, Zhou Mikang felt his heart uncontrollably pinch with pain. He had already planned to indulge her and treat her well, so how did he end up upsetting her like this?

With a deep sigh, he gently pulled Chuxia into his embrace, "I’m sorry!"

"Actually, you haven’t done anything to apologize to me for, maybe I’m a bit too radical in my thinking. Marrying you is, in everyone’s eyes, me climbing the social ladder, and I should be content with that. Originally, I thought so too.
