Tang Jiao returned to her parents' home and locked herself in the room, crying. Her mother knocked on the door for a long time, but she didn't answer.
Chen Xiangnan chased after her back, but Tang Jiao ignored him all the way. No matter how he explained or promised, it was useless.
"Xiao Chen, what happened to you? Why did Jiaojiao cry as soon as she came back?" Tang's mother was extremely anxious.
Only Tang's mother was at home. Tang's father was on duty at the hospital, and the other children were out.
Chen Xiangnan couldn't possibly reveal that he almost cheated on his wife, so he could only whisper a few words: "Mom, it's nothing, Jiaojiao and I had a few arguments, it was all my fault, she was pregnant, I should let her go."
Tang's mother handed him a glass of warm water. She thought her daughter and son-in-law were being petty and was afraid that they would quarrel, so she said, "Jiaojiao is just a little spoiled sometimes. Don't be angry with her."
Chen Xiangnan said calmly, "Mom, I'm older than Jiaojiao, so I should give in to her. Don't worry about it, I'll coax her."
Tang Jiao was so absorbed in crying that she didn't even listen to the noise outside. Little did she know that Chen Xiangnan had shifted the problem to her, characterizing her crying as a quarrel between husband and wife, mainly because she was too willful.
If Tang Jiao knew about this, she would probably be angry again.
Tang's mother, who was outside, didn't know the whole story and thought it was just a small quarrel as Chen Xiangnan said. She planned to wait until Tang Jiao calmed down before having a good talk with her, telling her that after getting married, she could no longer be as willful as she was at home.
She hesitated and was pushed by Chen Xiangnan to cook, while Chen Xiangnan... jumped in through the window.
"Jiaojiao." He squatted beside the bed and touched his head, but was pushed away by Tang Jiao.
Damn, he really is not a good guy, he even learned to climb through the window. If Tang Jiao had asked around or come to Chen's house earlier, she would have known that Chen Xiangbei was very familiar with this technique.
"I was wrong, okay? I really know I was wrong. I only looked at my watch to compensate that woman for the dean's sake. We had no contact at other times. If you don't like it, I won't get close to or talk to other women except you and my family members in the future, okay?" Chen Xiangnan said this, and he really admitted his mistake in his heart. As for whether he would not be able to resist the temptation in the future, he himself was not sure.
Anyway, let's get through this difficult time today first.
He spoke every word sincerely, and even said that he would let her collect his salary in the future and he would not be responsible for money anymore.
Because his job at the hospital was a formal one, he had never done any black market business since he started working there.
If he couldn't get a penny of salary in the future, Chen Xiangnan's mind became active again. How could a man be without money? The money he earned from black market business was much higher than the salary of this regular employee. If he really started working again, the salary would be disdainful to him. Tang Jiao could intervene if she wanted.
Before Tang Jiao forgave him, Chen Xiangnan had already thought of a way out.
After a while, Tang Jiao was coaxed by Chen Xiangnan so hard that she couldn't cry anymore. She slowly sat up, her eyes red, "Are you serious?"
Chen Xiangnan immediately swore, "Of course I'm telling the truth. I swear if any of what I just said is false, then let me be struck by lightning."
Before he could finish his oath, Tang Jiao covered his mouth and said, "Don't talk nonsense."
Chen Xiangnan laughed and hugged her in his arms. "Wife, from now on, the two of us and the baby in our belly will live a good life. We must live happily every day. If I do something wrong, you can hit me. Don't be angry. It will hurt me, and our child will be sad too."
Tang Jiao rolled her eyes at him, "Where's Lingling? Have you forgotten Lingling again?"
Chen Xiangnan hugged her tighter: "How could I marry such a good wife? She cares about Lingling more than I do. Our family of four will be fine in the future."
Although Tang Jiao was still thinking about what Chen Xiangbei had just said, she was still coaxed into submission by his constant sweet talk. However...
For dinner, the family gathered at Tang's house.
Tang Jiao was halfway through her meal when she suddenly put down her chopsticks and said, "Dad, please help me take care of Xiangnan in the hospital."
Tang's father was confused, "Huh?"
Tang Jiao: "Dad, please tell all your colleagues to take good care of him. I'm worried he'll be bullied or...harassed by others in the hospital since he's new here."
Chen Xiangnan's face froze. "Look after him?" What did he mean by "look after him"? It was clearly an attempt to get everyone in the hospital to keep an eye on him. He'd already sworn an oath, saying he'd give all his salary to Tang Jiao. What else could she possibly be dissatisfied with that she had to have Tang's father tell everyone in the hospital to "look after him" at this moment?
"Jiaojiao, that's not necessary. Dad is very busy and tired every day. I'm fine in the hospital by myself. I don't need anyone to take care of me." Chen Xiangnan said gently.
Tang Jiao smiled with a dagger hidden in her heart, "Xiangnan, when you first arrive, you need someone to take care of you. My dad has been in the hospital for many years, and he helps you with your work. He will definitely have the energy to take good care of you. I've also been in the hospital for many years, and I have many young women there. I'll tell them when the time comes."
Chen Xiangnan: "...Thank you, wife."
Tang Jiao picked up a piece of his least favorite dish with her chopsticks and said, "We are a family, what's there to thank me for?"
Under her gaze, Chen Xiangnan forced the food into his mouth and swallowed it with difficulty.
This is... still angry, right?
Tang's father and several other people didn't know what Tang Jiao was going to do. What was there for Chen Xiangnan to take care of? He should take care of Tang's father. He was just a smart guy, so what could Tang's father do to take care of him?
But Tang Jiao's condition was obviously not right, so she decided to agree first and let Tang's mother ask the couple what happened before making any plans.
Tang's mother could hear something was wrong, but she felt that there was no need to make a big deal out of such a small conflict in front of everyone, so she also picked up some meat for Chen Xiangnan and said, "Xiangnan, have this. It's been cold lately, so you'll need to eat more."
Chen Xiangnan took it and said, "Thank you, Mom."
After dinner, Tang's father took the initiative to wash the dishes. Since his father-in-law had already done the dishes, Chen Xiangnan felt embarrassed to sit in the living room and went in to help. Although he refused for a while, the father-in-law and son-in-law still worked together.
"Jiaojiao, what happened between you and that kid Xiangnan? I've never seen you so angry with him before. Let me tell you, don't be so cold to your husband after you get married, especially in front of outsiders. Men have to save face. You and your husband are one body. You can do whatever you want behind closed doors, but you still have to be nice to him in front of outsiders." Mother Tang pulled someone into her and Father Tang's house.
Tang Jiao sniffed, and her mood became depressed again after hearing this. "Mom, he's flirting with other women. He wants to mess around."
Tang's mother's face darkened instantly, and she quickly stood up. "I'm going to kill him. I'm going to kill him right now, you bastard."
