As soon as Du Guoqiang finished speaking, he lowered his head and ate a lot of rice without picking up any vegetables. He stuffed a big mouthful of rice into his mouth, feeling so bitter and his eyes were hot. He felt so wronged!
Only today did he realize that in his wife's and son's eyes, he was such a terrible father and husband. He used to be quite proud of himself, thinking that he was handsome, successful in his career, and had a happy family, making him a winner in life.
It turns out... it was just his misperception.
Zhou Yueyun was stunned for a moment. When she saw Du Guoqiang's expression, she knew what he was thinking. She was both annoyed and amused. She slapped him hard on the back. "Can't I praise other men? You get all grumpy when I do. You used to plaster the whole house with posters of Bai Suzhen, didn't I tell you?"
Ever since she became pregnant, Du Guoqiang bought a bunch of movie posters of the Legend of the White Snake and plastered them all over the house. You could see them everywhere you went. He said it was a folk remedy he heard from someone: if you look at pictures of beautiful women and handsome men during pregnancy, the baby will grow up to look like them.
Du Guoqiang dodged his wife's slap and muttered, "I just want our daughter to grow up to be a beauty. It's not like I like that White Snake."
"You just think I'm not good-looking. If I had someone with a youthful appearance, would you have brought back a photo? Humph, I've been so tolerant and forgiving that I'm not holding it against you, but you're so petty. William is good-looking, and I'm praising him, not saying I want to be with him. Besides, he wouldn't even look at me. He's Bai Wei's man. What are you thinking about all day long!"
Zhou Yueyun became increasingly agitated as she spoke, and slapped Du Guoqiang hard a few times.
Du Guoqiang smiled and said nice things, which finally made Zhou Yueyun laugh. He felt better and wanted his wife to hit him a few times to make him feel good. He was just being cheeky.
"Is that William really that good-looking?" Du Guoqiang was not quite convinced.
Lin Baiwei is at most pretty, not a virgin. This William sounds like he's rich and good-looking, and younger than Lin Baiwei. He could easily find a young and beautiful girl. Why would he want to be with Lin Baiwei, a middle-aged woman?
Zhou Yueyun leaned closer. "He's really handsome. I'll point him out to you when he comes over. Not only is he good-looking, but he also speaks beautifully. His voice is even more captivating than singing. Bai Wei is so lucky."
Du Guoqiang felt a pang of jealousy and developed a strong curiosity about William. He deliberately said, "Young, handsome, and rich, he sounds perfect. Why would he be with Lin Baiwei? Is he a fraud?"
“I’m worried about that too, but even if it’s a scam, it doesn’t matter. Bai Wei will definitely be willing.”
"You're willing to let a man like that deceive you?" Du Guoqiang blurted out.
Zhou Yueyun blurted out, "I really am willing."
But as soon as she said it, she realized something was wrong. She patted Du Guoqiang, whose face had darkened, and said, "Stop being so suspicious all the time. That swindler doesn't even want your wife. Let's just make do with this misfit. If you dare to cheat on me, I'll divorce you!"
Du Guoqiang felt a chill run down his spine and shuddered. He made a show of determination and swore an oath before he could finally get past the situation.
Everyone was worried that Lin Baiwei would be deceived, but as time went by, Lin Baiwei's condition improved day by day, and she became more and more youthful. She was full of energy at work, and on weekends she would go on dates with William. The two were very affectionate and loving, so everyone stopped paying too much attention to their relationship.
