Looking at the bright red handprint on Ding Jianguo's face, Li Chu felt like his head had swelled up three times.
He had repeatedly warned him before, but now, how is Ding Jianguo supposed to go back? How is he going to explain this to his parents and his wife?
Seeing that Ding Qiunan had already left the study, Li Chu quickly said, "Jianguo, this time it was my fault. I didn't expect those few photos to cause so much trouble."
"It's okay, brother-in-law. In the end, it was my own mistake. It's normal for my sister to be angry."
"Did you see that photo just now?"
"I saw it."
"So, are you finally completely over that woman now? She won't let herself be idle."
“Brother-in-law, I’ve given up on her a long time ago. I haven’t thought about her at all in the past month. Now I just want to live a good life with Nana.”
"Yes, Xu Damao is planning to open another store this time. You will need to continue investing money in it. But don't worry, it's very stable. You'll make your money back in no time. The good days are yet to come."
“I know, brother-in-law. Nana and I have already discussed it. No matter how much it costs, we will invest.”
"Okay, wait here, I'll go get some ice to put on your face."
"No need, I've already brought it to him."
As soon as Li Chu finished speaking, Ding Qiunan pushed open the study door and walked in.
She handed the ice cubes she was holding to her younger brother, saying with a hint of exasperation, "Keep acting up, I'm waiting for the day Mom and Dad kick you out of the house."
"Sister, I will never do this again, ouch..." Ding Jianguo held an ice cube in one hand, grimacing as he covered his face.
"I hope you can keep your word and not forget who you are just because you've started to have a good life."
After saying that, Ding Qiunan turned to look at her husband: "And you too, you didn't even discuss such a big thing with me. I'm his sister, after all."
"Don't worry, don't worry, my wife, this will definitely never happen again... no, it will never happen again."
Ding Qiunan rolled her eyes at her husband, then plopped down in the chair behind the desk.
"You two sit down, why are you standing?"
"How are you going to explain this to Nana when you get back?"
"I..." Ding Jianguo didn't know how to explain such an obvious handprint.
"Forget it, Jianguo. Wait until they're all asleep before you go back. Go inside in the dark, and it should be ready by tomorrow morning."
Li Chu thought for a moment and then said.
There's no way to explain this, so it's best to just avoid it to avoid causing more trouble.
That was the only way. Ding Jianguo nodded silently.
It wasn't until after 10 p.m., after confirming that all the lights were off and everyone was asleep, that Ding Jianguo quietly slipped away.
Looking at his wife who was already asleep on the bed, he knelt down beside the bed and gently kissed Chen Na's forehead.
"Huh? Jianguo, you're back. Did you finish taking care of things for our sister?"
"I'm done. I'm sorry, honey, I woke you up."
"It's okay, are you hungry? I'll go get you something to eat."
"No need, I'm not hungry." Ding Jianguo pushed Chen Na, who was about to sit up, back onto the bed.
"You go to sleep first, I'm going to take a shower."
"Go ahead, I'll wait for you!"
His wife's words, "I'll wait for you," almost brought him to tears. He leaned forward and kissed her forehead deeply again.
"Ugh, go take a shower." Chen Na said with a laugh, giving her husband a nudge.
Under the showerhead, Ding Jianguo wept silently.
For so long, he has been carrying a heavy burden in his heart. Although he had broken up with that woman before, he always felt that he had let down his family and Chen Na.
Every night when he slept in the same bed, he felt dirty and dared not touch his wife beside him.
Although the slap from his sister today was heavy, it completely removed the burden from his heart.
Inside the bathroom, Ding Jianguo secretly vowed that from this day forward, he would cherish his wife even more and be a good husband, a good father, and a good son.
When Chen Na discovered that her husband had started to touch her inappropriately after taking a shower, she was still somewhat incredulous.
She couldn't remember how long it had been since she had done it. As a traditional woman, she had always been dutiful and had never complained.
She has never asked for anything in this regard, as it would make her feel embarrassed.
Finally, tonight, she felt that long-lost joy again, and she also found that her husband seemed even gentler towards her than before, which she liked.
This was the last thought in Chen Na's mind before she drifted off to sleep.
...
Where is Ding Qiunan? She lay on the bed, tossing and turning restlessly, like a pancake being cooked.
She only calmed down a little when Li Chu held her tightly in his arms, preventing her from moving around.
"Darling, how did Jian Guo end up like this?"
"Who knows what he's really thinking? But since he was transferred to the Municipal Bureau, he's been going to get off work on time every day and even helps Xiaona with housework when he gets home. This shows that he's determined to change."
You don't need to dwell on his previous thoughts; just observe what he does in the future.
"Sigh, I just feel so sorry for Nana, she's such a good wife!"
"Don't think about it, darling," Li Chu reached out and patted his wife's buttocks. Hmm, it felt good, as always.
Ding Qiunan, who was being held in his arms, twisted her body in protest.
...
Upon arriving at the hospital in the morning, before Li Chu even got out of the car, he saw three police officers in their newly issued Type 83 police uniforms standing in front of the administration building, one of whom was holding a box in both hands.
This olive-green police uniform is currently in the experimental stage and has only been issued to a few major cities such as Beijing and Shanghai. The nationwide uniform change will not be implemented until next year, and it was worn until 2000 before the uniform was changed again.
Upon seeing a black sedan approaching, the three police officers all looked in their direction. When they saw that the person getting out of the car was the one they were looking for, the three of them quickly walked over.
"Li Chu, are they looking for you?" Ding Qiunan looked at the three police officers who walked over with some suspicion.
Tian Jun had already gotten out of the car and walked to Li Chu's side.
"It's alright, Tian Jun, go and park the car. They made an appointment with me."
"yes"
"Brother Meng sent me to find him; he needs my help with something."
Hearing her husband's explanation, Ding Qiunan finally felt relieved. Otherwise, seeing the police coming so early in the morning would have worried anyone.
"Hello, Dean Li. Director Zhang sent us to see you. I am Li Desheng, a forensic doctor from the Municipal Bureau."
The three of them stopped three steps away from Li Chu, and the two who were empty-handed saluted.
"Hello Dean Li, I am Chen Chao from the Municipal Bureau of Laboratory Medicine."
"Li Chu, I'm going to my office now. You two talk."
"Okay, you go ahead, I'll take them to the lab building."
