Bonus Chapter: Scenes from Married Life

After marriage, the two will inevitably quarrel, usually over trivial matters.

Li Yanzhou is a master of verbal sparring; when he's being sarcastic, he can be incredibly sharp-tongued, while Luo Tingwei is the one who's clumsy with words.

She couldn't argue with him, so she got so anxious she wanted to cry.

In TV dramas, when couples argue, the wife usually goes back to her parents' home, but Luo Tingwei has no parents' home to go back to.

Although Ron is her biological father, Fatton is thousands of miles away, and she can't just go there every time something goes wrong.

So, after arguing, they could only sulk there.

In truth, Li Yanzhou was reluctant to really say anything to her; he mostly teased and provoked her, but she always took it seriously.

Without a doubt, in the end he still had to coax her gently.

The two lived on the top floor of the villa.

After each argument, Li Yanzhou would see her feeling stifled and say to her, "Anyway, the two apartments on the second floor are empty. They'll be your parents' home from now on. If you don't want to see me, go downstairs and stay for a while."

He swore he was completely sincere and acted from her perspective, but Luo Tingwei saw it as irony.

"Waaaaah, are you mocking me on purpose? You're just taking advantage of the fact that I'm all alone and helpless in Black City."

Li Yanzhou was puzzled: Alone and helpless?

So he's just invisible?

Li Yanzhou said sincerely, "Baby, if you don't want to see me, I'll go back to the old house for a few days so I won't be in your sight."

Luo Tingwei threw a pillow at her, her eyes wide with anger, "Fine, if you want to leave, leave now and never come back."

Upon hearing this, Li Yanzhou was unsure whether he should leave or stay.

After thinking for a long time, I walked over to her and said, "Come here, let me give you a hug."

Luo Tingwei turned her head away.

Li Yanzhou circled around again, walked up to her, and opened his arms to her. "Are you going to hug me all the way through?"

Luo Tingwei glanced at him, making up her mind that if he said another word to coax her, she would immediately stop while she was ahead.

Then, she turned her head away, looking very arrogant.

Li Yanzhou's expression changed slightly, and he slowly withdrew his hand, his usual coldness returning to his face.

"Then I'm leaving."

After saying that, he actually started walking away.

Luo Tingwei's heart skipped a beat, and she panicked instinctively, quickly turning around.

The next second, before she could even see what was happening, her body was suddenly pressed down without warning, and a tall figure pinned her against the wall.

"hiss……"

My earlobe was bitten.

"Why turn back? If you don't want me to leave, why didn't you just say so?"

"It itches... let go."

But the man in front of her clung to her like a big dog.

"What should I do? I just wanted to hug you, but now... I want to eat you."

"don't want……"

What's going on? They're clearly arguing.

"Don't want it? Then call me 'good husband'."

Luo Tingwei's face turned bright red, and she couldn't stop talking at this moment.

"Weiwei, you can either call out now or call out in bed later. You choose one."

"You...you're being completely unreasonable!!"

What's wrong with me?

"You know perfectly well that you did something wrong, but now you're trying to change the subject and smooth things over."

Okay, we've come full circle back to the initial issue, which is also the topic of their argument.

Li Yanzhou looked aggrieved. "I've said it so many times, I just asked Jessica to charge my phone."

Jessica is his secretary.

Since Li Yanzhou took over the family business, he has naturally had more female employees around him.

"I don't care, she answered your call."

Luo Tingwei persisted, "What right does she have to answer your call?"

Li Yanzhou narrowed his eyes, his voice sounding innocent, "That's because there was an important phone call that day, and I was in a meeting at the time, so I asked her to keep an eye out for me."

"I don't care, I don't like this Jessica!"

Although the company doesn't have strict dress requirements for its employees, Jessica wears a bodycon skirt and black stockings all day long, strutting around in front of Li Yanzhou in high heels, and often showing concern for her boss, acting very considerate (a green tea bitch).

All of this struck Luo Tingwei as extremely irritating.

Although Li Yanzhou's gaze never lingered on her, it must be said that Jessica's professional skills are quite good.

A secretary is just a tool; as long as they're useful, that's enough. He doesn't care about anything else.

But this time it was his wife who spoke up.

Seeing that she had finally gotten to the point, the man's eyes curved into a smile, a hint of sudden realization in his eyes, "Why didn't you say so sooner?"

After arguing and making a scene with him for so long, I'm still demanding an explanation from him.

The reason she didn't say so earlier is because she doesn't like this Jessica.

If you had said so earlier, you could have saved yourself a lot of trouble.

Besides, he was quite pleased to hear her say it herself, with a sullen expression on her face.

"Okay, if my wife doesn't like it, then let her go."

"real?"

"Hmm, what's the big deal?"

Li Yanzhou readily agreed, even jokingly saying, "Baby, why don't you take her place? That way I can see you every day at work."

Luo Tingwei calmed down, and the expression on her face relaxed a bit.

Summer is gradually approaching, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter.

Something occurred to her, and she suddenly looked at him, "Are you free tomorrow?"

"What's wrong?" He paused.

"It's getting hot, and I've been feeling very tired lately. My stomach is also very uncomfortable, and I even vomited a few days ago. I'd like to go to the hospital to get checked out."

Li Yanzhou tensed up, "How could this be..."

The next second, the words caught in his throat and he stopped speaking.

"Baby, what did you say?"

"Um?"

Luo Tingwei glanced at him curiously, her reaction even slower than his.

Seeing her so dazed, Li Yanzhou felt a bit exasperated and cautiously asked, "Have you... ever used a pregnancy test?"

"Pregnancy test..."

Luo Tingwei muttered to herself, then looked as if she had just realized something, "Ahhh, how come I didn't think of that..."

"Stay home and don't move around. I'm going out to buy it now."

Li Yanzhou hurriedly put on a coat and went out.

He returned quickly with the items.

As Luo Tingwei entered the bathroom, the man outside was even more nervous than she was, his heart clenching involuntarily.

Ten minutes later.

...

"Lie still and don't move."

Li Yanzhou carefully covered her with the blanket, his voice trembling with excitement, "Baby, is there anything you want to eat or drink? Just tell me."

"I want to drink milk tea."

"no."

Li Yanzhou's fingers flew across his phone, searching quickly. "Look, it says that pregnant women can't drink milk tea."

"I want to eat ice cream."

Li Yanzhou searched for a moment, then frowned again, "No."

Luo Tingwei's ears drooped.

"Then... salmon sashimi?"

Li Yanzhou couldn't hold back any longer. "Luo Tingwei, give me cooked meat! Don't you have any common sense?"

Luo Tingwei really didn't understand these things...

During her pregnancy, her maid was in charge of all three meals a day, and the kitchen strictly followed the requirements of the doctor and nutritionist to prepare food for her.

At that time, she had no freedom; she couldn't eat whatever she wanted, and had to eat whatever was given to her.

Now, it's just the two of them enjoying their time together.

Everything depends on yourself; everything must be figured out gradually.

Helpless, Luo Tingwei gave a bitter smile.

"Honey, just tell me what I can eat..."

...
