Imperfect Desires

766 Physical Assualt?

Since the husband has asked her to stay quiet, Wen Ai didn't dare to say another word even when they got to the hospital. Even the doctor cleaning up Wen Ai's wounds was sighing helplessly. How could he not? She was a regular visitor to this place. It was a mystery how she managed to live up to this age. After all, she had been getting into fights since she was young. It was really in her nature!

"How do you do this?" asked the doctor. "You're just here last week. At this rate, you should start living here." He really thought it'd be better for her to just live here now.

"Exactly!" said Xin Zimen gnashing his teeth.

Wen Ai cleared her throat, "Doc, don't say it like that. I might really buy your hospital. Would you dare talk to your boss like this?"

The doctor shook his head and said, "I don't think I need to repeat myself. You must have memorized everything by now. So, take care of your wounds." He stood up and looked at Xin Zimen. Patting his shoulder, he added, "I really admire your patience."

Xin Zimen couldn't even say anything to the doctor. When the doctor left, he looked at his wife who was staring at the gauze wrapped around her hand. Suddenly, her eyes brightened up, "Husband, I'm hungry! Let's go have some beef noodles!"

He took a step towards her and looked at her face. "We are not moving until you tell me why you fought again?"

Wen Ai scratched her head sheepishly as she said, "Is it important? I just had an itch in my hand or maybe, I just didn't like their faces." She shrugged her shoulders, "Whatever! They were meant to taste the might of my hands." She smiled at him as she continued, "And don't you say that what's meant to be can't be changed?"

Xin Zimen rubbed his forehead trying to ease up the headache she brought into his life! "Are you gonna speak the truth or not?"

Wen Ai cursed under her breath before answering honestly, "That Young Master Ye and his minions were saying something about you. I couldn't just let it go."

"What were they saying?" he questioned calmly.

"They said you married me because you're greedy for power and whatnot! You want to fight your elder brother for the Head of Xin clan's position and you also want to devour the Wen clan. What rubbish!" she was grumbling with hostility in her eyes. She was really tired of listening to this. It's been a month since they got married and she was still hearing such rumors flying around. It pissed her off! And she was never the one to hold back. Who cared about being civil and ladylike? The only civility she could show people were letting them escape with their life!

Xin Zimen was silently observing her expressions. In fact, he could read all her thoughts right now. She was being too obvious about what was concocting in that brain of hers. He finally sighed out heavily, "Ai, it's not the first time someone said it. It's not even the last time they are gonna say it either. Everyone in our circle is saying the same things. Are you gonna beat all of them?"

Wen Ai nodded her head repeatedly, "If I have to, why not? If they have the courage to speak like that about my husband, they should also be prepared about dealing with me. If one talks, I'll beat one. If two talks, I'll just beat two. If a hundred talks, I'll still beat those hundred. And if someone does escape from my hands, I'll make sure my bodyguards give them a lesson!" Before Xin Zimen could say anything, she stood up and touched his hands with her injured ones as she continued, "Ah-Xin, you can't always ignore what people say and expect them to change because of your kindness. Kindness has a limit and so does my patience. In fact, I don't have patience at all! I have to teach these people a lesson to set the record straight!"

Xin Zimen placed his forehead against hers as he said, "But I really don't care about any of it. What people say doesn't concern me. I grew up in the shadow of my exceptional brother. I'm used to people telling me I'm trying so hard just to become better than him. It doesn't have any effect on me. Not any longer!"

"I've told you," began Wen Ai. "I don't ever let my people get wronged. You're my person! You might be used to it, I am not! And I'll never be!"

"Do you even realize how people will look at you if you continued this?" he said. "Your family has a name in the society. You're like the last descendant of a Royal Bloodline. Does it suit you to act like this?"

"It definitely goes with my image," she retorted while patting his chest. "Open any history book, all Royals were tyrants! Bloodshed is in my blood!" Xin Zimen pursed his lips at her response as she continued, "So what if I'm a modern tyrant? I'm still better. I didn't ask for their lives... Yet!"

Xin Zimen hit her head with his own making her groan in pain.

"What was that for?"

"To knock some sense into your head which seems to be missing!"

Wen Ai rubbed her forehead and pouted at him, "I'm already hungry and you're even physically assaulting me now?"

"Physically assaulting?" he repeated with wide eyes. "You're impossible!"
