Chen Yanqiu came with a full of apologies and returned to Zhu's house in confusion. It was just past ten o'clock and the house was already dark.
Why are you going to bed so early today?
Chen Yanqiu tiptoed upstairs with full of doubts, as cautious as a thief. Finally, after entering the room, he breathed a sigh of relief: I'm finally back. Fortunately, Dad and Mom didn't find out.
Just after he entered the room, Zhu Mingchuan and his wife, who were hiding in the corner, looked at each other and realized that something was wrong!
He sneaked out so late and came back only now. He must be hiding this from me on purpose!
Zhu Mingchuan stood up straight, shook his legs which were numb from squatting, and whispered to his wife, "Go ask?"
Qin Rouan's legs were also numb. With Zhu Mingchuan's help, she stood up tremblingly. After a while, she said, "Forget it. She didn't intend to let us know. Go and ask her. Isn't she angry?"
Zhu Mingchuan was speechless after hearing this. He knew what his daughter was like. If he asked her now, she would probably ignore him for several days.
He shook his head helplessly, looking at his wife with a pitiful look in his eyes: "I'm her father, her biological father! Can't I ask?"
"I'm still her biological mother! If you want to ask, go ahead and ask. Don't bring me along."
Qin Rouan was annoyed. It was he who spoiled his daughter to be like this. Now she feels bad, right?
“I…I…”
Zhu Mingchuan said "I" several times but still couldn't figure out what he meant. He shook his arms violently, stomped his feet hard, stared at his daughter's door, and refused to leave.
Qin Rouan tried to pull him but failed. She took out her dissatisfaction with her daughter on him and stretched out her foot to step on his instep.
Zhu Mingchuan cried out in pain, but his wife quickly covered his mouth. Turning around and seeing his wife's angry face, he didn't dare to say a word and just followed her obediently.
Back in the room, Zhu Mingchuan immediately showed his feet and said pitifully to his wife: "Look at you, you've used so much force, your feet are almost swollen."
Qin Rouan glanced at his foot, but didn't see even a red mark. She squinted at him and said, "Where? Show me."
Zhu Mingchuan did not wait for his wife's concern. He reluctantly put his feet away and snorted softly, dissatisfied: "You, you don't cherish what you have. Back then, I didn't say a word, but you couldn't take your eyes off me. Now! I'm old and useless!"
Qin Rouan heard this and was about to hit him: "How old are you? What are you talking about? When did I become reluctant to look away? It was you who was staring at me the whole time!"
Zhu Mingchuan took the opportunity to hold his wife's hand. After so many years, her hands were still so white, tender and smooth. Every time he saw these hands, he felt a sense of accomplishment.
She did not become worse after marrying me. She was still as radiant as ever, both her hands and her figure.
Just like she said, the one who stared at her closely and was unwilling to look away was never her, but myself!
Like before, like now.
His scorching gaze made Qin Rouan's face slightly hot. They were already an old couple, so why was he still like this? If others saw it, they would laugh at him.
As if he knew what she was thinking, Zhu Mingchuan said, "Your life is your own. Why do you care about other people's opinions? Besides, do you want to see others say that you are not living a good life, that your husband doesn't love you, and that your husband doesn't care about you?"
Nodding helplessly, Qin Rouan sat close to him and said, "You are so frivolous all day long, aren't you afraid that your daughter will laugh at you if she sees you?"
Zhu Mingchuan was not afraid. He said confidently, "Why should I be afraid? I am setting a good example for my daughter. If she wants to find a husband, she should find someone like me who can love her. Don't you agree?"
He became more and more excited as he spoke, bragging about himself shamelessly. Qin Rouan couldn't listen any more. She had heard these words for more than 20 years and they were no longer new to her.
Zhu Mingchuan did not forget to look at his wife while he was speaking. He noticed that she ignored him and became even more dissatisfied: "Qin Rouan, listen carefully, do you think I am too long-winded? I am only in my fifties, young and strong, and you despise me?"
Qin Rouanhai was still thinking about the changes in his daughter during this period of time, and didn't expect to hear such words from him.
What does young and strong mean? He is already over 50 years old? What else does he want to do? Give his daughter another brother or sister?
He waved his hand and hit him on the leg mercilessly, without even looking at him, and said, "You shameless old man, what are you talking about!"
Zhu Mingchuan swore to heaven that he didn't, he was not!
But he was too lazy to explain. Perhaps the image of himself when he was young was deeply rooted in his wife's mind, and no matter how he explained it later, it was of no use.
After getting punched, Zhu Mingchuan was even happier, because he knew that his wife was reluctant to exert any strength, so this punch was just like tickling him, and it didn't hurt at all, and it made him feel very happy.
Qin Rouan had known that he would be like this, so she turned around and left without saying anything.
Zhu Mingchuan is sick and cannot be cured!
As soon as she left, Zhu Mingchuan followed immediately.
When they slept, she lay on her left side, and Zhu Mingchuan lay close to her on her right side, holding her in his arms.
He stopped saying those cheesy words and added that it was uncertain whether he could sleep in this room today. He knew his wife's temper very well.
It has to be said that my daughter's temper is more like hers. She gets angry when she disagrees with someone, and this is not something she has spoiled me with, it's completely genetic!
Qin Rouan struggled, not understanding why this man hadn't been hugged enough after more than 20 years. It must be tiring to sleep in this position every night, right?
Zhu Mingchuan spoke before his wife lost her temper: "Don't you think your daughter has changed a lot recently?"
Sure enough, Qin Rouan stopped struggling and followed his words and said, "You just found out? It's been more than a month, and she doesn't talk much to us, and her way of doing things is different. She also took the initiative to ask to go to work. Do you think she has someone she likes?"
Zhu Mingchuan didn't expect his wife to draw such a conclusion from a lot of anomalies. He didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Well, it's possible. How about you ask tomorrow?"
When Qin Rouan heard this, she pushed the person away.
"Why don't you ask? You're a good father and I'm a bad mother? I've been made to do everything that offends people!"
"Okay, okay, I was wrong." Zhu Mingchuan hugged her again, held her in his arms, and flattered her, "I just think my daughter is closer to you. If you don't want to, then I'll go ask."
Seeing through his little thoughts, Qin Rouan was annoyed: "Come on, you only know how to pamper her. When she gets angry, do you dare to speak?"
"hey-hey!"
Zhu Mingchuan smiled. His wife was right. When his daughter got angry, he wanted to slap himself in the mouth. He was really bad at talking. How could he make Yueyue angry?
In his opinion, his daughter is the second most beautiful person in the world, even when she is angry. How could he bear to let his daughter get angry?
"Go to sleep, I'll ask tomorrow."
Qin Rouan turned over and stopped Zhu Mingchuan from saying the next word.
Zhu Mingchuan stretched out his arm and followed him, saying again, "Sorry to bother my wife, my wife is the best!"
