"You better treat her like a treasure. If you ever dare to make her sad, I will not hesitate to snatch her away and take her away from here, so you won't even have a place to cry."

Before An Rong could even cry, she started crying herself.

She was sobbing like a woman.

"Don't cry."

A grown man was leaning on another grown man's shoulder and crying, which attracted the attention of passersby. Everyone looked at them with strange eyes, as if to say that the two of them might be homosexual.

Lu Chaoyang cried even harder. Why was he not even given a chance to compete, and was being held hostage by this jerk?

He would give me attitude and yell at me all the time.

"Why are you being so fierce? Believe me or not, I'll tell DouDou on you," Lu Chaoyang threatened, completely ignoring An Rong's darkening face.

It took a lot of effort for An Rong to finally get Lu Chaoyang into the carriage. It was a carriage from Lu Chaoyang's residence. The driver was dumbfounded when he saw them entangled together.

"You must be happy."

Lu Chaoyang got into the carriage and kept shouting inside, his voice filled with reluctance.

Yuan Doudou could hear Lu Chaoyang's shouts from inside the house. She was holding Tangtang and trying to lull her to sleep. "Tangtang, are you laughing at him too?"

"Who is Tangtang laughing at?" An Rong came in from outside and asked curiously when she heard Yuan Doudou talking to her daughter.

Yuan Doudou laughed and said, "Who else could it be but Lord Lu?"

An Rong's face darkened upon hearing the name. "Dou Dou, it's best to avoid provoking him in the future."

He had no good intentions whatsoever. An Rong felt uneasy, knowing that as long as Lu Chaoyang was there, his position would be threatened.

Yuan Doudou was stunned. What did An Rong mean by this?

She never intentionally provoked Lu Chaoyang unless she had no choice but to use his connections.

An Rong realized he had said the wrong thing, his face turned red, and he couldn't bring himself to apologize for a long time.

Yuan Doudou looked down at Tangtang, who was already asleep. She calmly walked back to the backyard and didn't come out again before closing time.

After the tavern closed, An Rong packed up her belongings, washed up, and opened the door. She saw Yuan Doudou sleeping with her back to the outside and Tangtang. Anji was sleeping soundly on the small bed next to her.

Feeling guilty, An Rong tiptoed, afraid of waking the sleeping Dou Dou.

As he took off his clothes and was about to lie down on the bed, he heard a cold voice.

"Sleep on the floor."

An Rong froze, his face instantly falling.

"DouDou, I was wrong."

Yuan Doudou remained silent, determined to teach him a lesson.

"DouDou, don't do this, it scares me." He had lost DouDou once, and he couldn't afford to lose her again.

Even the most ruthless Yuan Doudou softened instantly upon hearing his trembling voice.

"You know fear, yet you still said those things. Wasn't that a bit thoughtless?" Yuan Doudou asked, turning to look at An Rong.

An Rong lowered his head, like a child who had done something wrong. He was prepared to be scolded. In his opinion, when his wife was angry, he should let her treat him like a tree stump. Once she vented her anger, she would naturally be fine.

"What do you mean by not saying anything? You don't even know where you went wrong, do you?" Yuan Doudou crossed her arms. Actually, she didn't know how to argue; she was just putting on an act.

An Rong realized that silence wouldn't solve the problem, so she quickly said, "I was wrong. I was wrong to say that you provoked Lu Chaoyang. Actually, it was Lu Chaoyang who provoked you."

He felt he was telling the truth; from beginning to end, Yuan Doudou had only been thinking of himself and his family, which was why she had gotten involved with Lu Chaoyang.

Lu Chaoyang's fondness for teasing is not something that teasing can decide.

Yuan Doudou sneered inwardly. He really knew everything. He was just deliberately trying to make her angry. Men are all big pigs, not a single one of them is good. She had just given birth to her second child not long ago, and her body and mind had not yet recovered to their best state. In other words, her estrogen levels were not balanced, making her prone to suspicion, anger, and sensitivity.

"DouDou, don't be angry with me. Sister Juan said that getting angry is bad for a new mother's health, and in severe cases, she might not have enough milk." An Rong blurted out her thoughts in her anxiety.

Yuan Doudou was so angry she almost laughed. He wasn't concerned about her at all; he was clearly concerned about whether his daughter had enough milk.

"I mean, if I say something wrong, you can scold me or hit me, but you can't keep it to yourself." An Rong realized he had said something wrong again and quickly tried to explain himself.

Yuan Doudou burst out laughing.

She's really not a cunning person; she's usually cheerful and loves to laugh. It's rare for her to pretend to be angry, but she couldn't hold it in for long before she broke down.

An Rong is a person who is both loved and hated. He is handsome and easy-going, but he doesn't know how to say sweet words, let alone flattery.

"It's good that you're smiling." An Rong breathed a sigh of relief. Yuan Doudou's cold face had really frightened him. He had known her for so long, and this was the first time Yuan Doudou had ever treated him with such a cold face.

Yuan Doudou put on a stern face again: "Is it that scary when I'm angry?"

An Rong nodded seriously; it was no ordinary thing that was frightening.

Yuan Doudou couldn't help but chuckle. An Rong's frightened look, whether real or fake, was hilarious to watch.

"Alright, go and get some rest."

Yuan Doudou also knew that An Rong was sore all over from working so hard that she needed to rest well at night to recover her strength and cope with the busy day ahead.

And so it went, day after day.

Seeing that her mood had returned to normal, An Rong was immediately overcome by drowsiness, which rushed over him like a thousand horses galloping, directly pinning him down on the bed. Soon, he fell fast asleep.

Hearing his even breathing, Yuan Doudou was both angry and amused. Men fall asleep so quickly; they fall asleep the moment their heads hit the pillow. She was so envious. She couldn't do that. An Rong had been asleep for half an hour before she finally drifted off to sleep. Before she could even get some rest, Tangtang woke up and stretched out her arms and legs, wanting to nurse.

Yuan Doudou was so sleepy that she fed herself with her eyes closed and then fell asleep just like An Rong.

The next day, Yuan Doudou woke up to find An Rong lying next to her, still in bed.

"Anrong, it's not dawn yet?" She looked out the window, where there seemed to be light.

An Rong woke up groggily and glanced at the water clock by the bed. It was past breakfast time. He must have gone to bed too late last night and accidentally overslept.

Yuan Doudou comforted him, "It's okay, it's fine to eat breakfast later."

During her postpartum period, she ate breakfast before dawn every day, as An Rong was afraid that she would feel particularly hungry while breastfeeding.

"What do you want to eat? I'll make it now." An Rong knew right away that she was hungry, and the hungrier she was, the more she would say she wasn't hungry.

To him, the words "it's okay" meant "it's okay," because if she didn't cook soon, she would starve to death.

Without hesitation, Yuan Doudou replied, "Chicken soup wontons."

She was feeling a bit anxious because she hadn't had wontons all day.
