You need to raise your pet using a system [Era]

Chapter 340 Timely Communication

Lu Mingdong was speechless, and decisively defended himself, saying, "I'm very wronged, and you need to apologize to me."

Cheng Xia was dumbfounded: "Me? I apologize to you?"

The disbelief on his face was palpable.

Lu Mingdong nodded seriously, "Yes, you need to apologize to me. I'm innocent! You have something on your mind but you don't tell me. Do you still consider me your husband? You've wronged me, treating me like a heartless man who would abandon his wife and children and regret marrying you. Besides, I've never looked down on you, yet you've judged me guilty on your own."

After saying all that, the most important thing is, "So, you need to apologize to me!"

Cheng Xia was speechless, utterly speechless.

"Please, shouldn't the usual procedure be for you to comfort me, then we resolve our conflicts and take our relationship to the next level?"

Now you're making her, the one who's truly wronged, apologize? What kind of development is this?

Lu Mingdong gave a haughty snort and said, "Whoever is wrong should apologize."

Cheng Xia found it amusing. "Who was it that couldn't wait to say 'sorry' as soon as they came out? Generally speaking, the one who can't say sorry is the one at fault."

and so……

Lu Mingdong remained completely calm and said, "That's right! I apologized for the one thing I did wrong, and now it's your turn to admit your mistake and apologize to me."

Cheng Xia: "..." Shameless!

Lu Mingdong: "Just tell me if what I just said was right or wrong! Was it your fault?"

Cheng Xia: "..."

At this moment, Cheng Xia's expression was indescribable!

"No, according to what you're saying, in the end it'll all be my fault?"

Lu Mingdong snorted, "It wasn't originally your fault, but your actions have ultimately made you the one who bears all the responsibility."

Cheng Xia: "..."

"If you can't argue with me, then go ahead and bully me all you want!"

If you can't win an argument, can't you at least play the victim?

Besides, Cheng Xia said that she was already pitiful.

When one side weakens, the other side will subconsciously weaken as well.

They are husband and wife, not enemies, so naturally they won't become smug just because one of them shows weakness.

Lu Mingdong pursed his lips and said, "I didn't bully you, you're the one who bullied me!"

"Comrade Cheng Xia, I'm three years younger than you, how can you be so shameless?"

Cheng Xia choked, speechless. Her arrogance vanished, and she was no longer willing to play the victim. "Yes, it was my fault. I should have told you about the problem in time. I shouldn't have made wild guesses and insulted your character!"

Lu Mingdong was satisfied and spoke up more quickly, "I was also wrong. I've been busy with my studies lately and neglected your changes. And Mu Mu and the others... I didn't do as much as you did, so I wasn't very responsible."

This might be why Lu Mingdong doesn't care about others.

At home, Lu Yuanqing and his elders treated him very well and were very tolerant.

He married Cheng Xia, who was three years older than him, and she took care of him as both a husband and a younger brother.

Because he was a good person and willing to be a live-in son-in-law, Cheng He treated him like his own son.

Every time Cheng He calls out Mu Mu's name, especially the one with the surname Cheng, he develops a very positive view of Lu Mingdong. He treats Lu Mingdong the same way he treated Cheng Xia before.

Everyone doted on him, allowing him to take for granted the benefits his family gave him.

He was a good student and was well-liked by his supervisor, so he began to do experiments with his supervisor.

His family members gave him their full support after they found out.

Cheng He never made things difficult for him when he came home.

Cheng Xia took on the responsibility of caring for the children himself, constantly reminding them not to disturb him.

Lu Yuanqing provided for all his needs, no matter what they asked for.

Lu Mingdong has never had any trouble with either the experimental materials he wants or the money involved.

Lu Mingdong suddenly felt that his status at home was a bit too high.

Therefore, this incident temporarily halted Lu Mingdong's busy schedule, allowing him to see the kindness everyone had shown him, while he had overlooked their true feelings.

“Wife, we are married and we are going to live together for a lifetime.” Lu Mingdong’s tone was extremely gentle. “My third uncle said that they can’t be with me for a lifetime, and the children will leave us when they grow up. Only you and I will be together forever. So, I want you to understand one thing: we can rely on each other.”

That's right, it's mutual. It's not a one-sided effort from one person.

Cheng Xia's eyes shone as she slightly raised her head and gazed at Lu Mingdong.

“We are the closest of people. I am also a father. You still spoil me so much. You will spoil me so much that I will forget myself.”

Cheng Xia chuckled and said, "You have so little confidence?"

"But I trust you completely! I know you won't! In my heart, Lu Mingdong is a wonderful person, and marrying you and having children is the one thing I regret the least!"

Many people may think that she was very good to Lu Mingdong and made a lot of sacrifices in this marriage.

The people of Shihua Village have the most say in this matter.

They understood perfectly well that they couldn't say a bad word about Lu Mingdong in front of Cheng Xia, otherwise, the gentle Cheng Xia would turn into a tyrannosaurus.

They also witnessed firsthand Cheng Xia's care and concern for Lu Mingdong.

Therefore, everyone has witnessed Cheng Xia's kindness towards Lu Mingdong.

However, they were unaware of how much Cheng Xia liked Lu Mingdong.

This man, unafraid of gossip and bearing the stigma of being a live-in son-in-law, never lost his temper with her after marriage. He was very reasonable, respectful, and extremely kind to her.

When Cheng He had his accident, Cheng Xia gave up her job in the city to come back and take care of him, and was prepared to marry just anyone.

At that time, she had already considered all the worst possibilities for the potential suitors who might come to her door.

After all, men value their reputation, and a son-in-law who marries into a family will not do it unless there is a very special reason why he will be criticized for his entire life.

Cheng Xia thought that even if the other person had a physical disability, came from a very poor family, and had terrible family members, as long as it wasn't a matter of personality, she could convince herself to be willing.

It was Lu Mingdong's insistence, his personality, and their happy married life that told her it wasn't like that; not just anyone would do, and she still had high standards.

From her current perspective, the requirement is that the person must be Lu Mingdong.

"Lu Mingdong, do you think he would agree if I told Uncle San now that I'm willing to go to Shenzhen with them?" Cheng Xia asked with a smile.

To hell with all the grievances, inferiority, and doubts!

She shouldn't have been so internally conflicted; she should have trusted herself and Lu Mingdong.

Lu Mingdong smiled, not his usual slight upturned smile, but a wide, unrestrained laugh, his eyes crinkling into crescents, the kind that would make Cheng Xia swoon.

"Go and ask him, Uncle San will definitely agree!"

It's essential for couples to communicate regularly; even the best relationships require this.
