Jiang Jingchen looked at his wife’s disappointed expression and comforted, “Obedient Beibei can always cheer me on. I’ll find a good job. Don’t listen to Ruan Qi’S nonsense. She’s been recuperating at home for so long and has been spoiled by Song Zhou. She even speaks so rudely now.”
Ruan Qi pointed at herself. Was she speaking rudely?
She swore that she was only kidding.
Besides, didn’t she always speak like that?
Song Zhou saw his wife’s aggrievement and patted her back so she wouldn’t argue with Jiang Jingchen.
She wouldn’t win against him.
Because if Jiang Jingchen said that he was number two when it came to quarrelling, no one would dare to claim first place.
Because the person who claimed first place would have either been injured by
Jiang Jingchen, or maimed.
He comforted Ruan Qi. “Prenatal education, prenatal education. Civilized language and healthy growth!”
Ruan Qi took a deep breath. She wanted to be a gentle mother. She mustn’t lose
her temper…
At this moment, Tang Beibei, who had been acting wronged, suddenly looked
up and made a face at Ruan Qi.
“Ruan Qi, take good care of your baby. You can’t help my husband find a job
either, so you can’t criticize me.”
F*ck!
Ruan Qi realized that she had been tricked and rolled up her sleeves in anger. Before she became a gentle mother, she would teach her best friend a lesson.
“Tang Beibei, you’ve been getting more mischievous lately. You need to be taught a lesson!”
She reached out to pinch Tang Beibei’s cheeks. Tang Beibei still had some baby fat on her face, which made her look very cute and pinchable when she was in a daze.
But before Ruan Qi’s hand could touch Tang Beibei’s face, a pair of chopsticks clamped it.
Jiang Jingchen pinched her fingers with his chopsticks and warned, “Don’t touch my wife’s face. She belongs to me. Ruan Qi, are you staging a rebellion?
“So what if I am? She’s your wife and my best friend. Why can’t I pinch her? Tang Beibei, you need to grow a backbone and not be suppressed by men. Come here and let me pinch your face.”
Tang Beibei covered her face. “No, no. I’m still a baby. How can you bully me?”
“… That’s enough, Tang Beibei, what’s wrong with you!”
Tang Beibei covered her mouth and laughed. “I’m just teasing you. Come, come, 1’11 let you pinch me but don’t pinch me too hard, okay?”
“My husband said that pinching my face improves his mood. Will you feel better after you pinch my face?”
When Ruan Qi heard that, she suddenly couldn’t bring herself to do it.
She raised her hand to pinch her gently but saw Jiang Jingchen’s raised eyebrows. It was just a quick eyebrow raise but she was so scared that she retracted her hand.
She was really afraid that Jiang Jingchen would reach out with a kitchen knife
in the next second instead of chopsticks to chop off her hand!
Jiang Jingchen watched Ruan Qi back down knowingly but raised his hand to pinch his wife’s cheek as he said, “Ruan Qi was just kidding. Why would she pinch your face? Right, Ruan Qi?”
“Yeah, I was just kidding.”
Ruan Qi said with a fake smile. She could only ha-ha in her heart.
Ding-dong. Ding-dong.
It was the doorbell.
Song Zhou turned on his tablet to check and saw a plainly dressed middle-aged man standing outside the door.
The dark-skinned middle-aged man looked very uneasy as he waited outside
the door.
“I’ve never met this person.”
Ruan Qi craned her neck curiously to look. She stood up immediately and walked out.
Song Zhou was worried. “Wifey, slow down. Pregnant women shouldn’t walk so fast.” Song Zhou nagged as he stood up and followed Ruan Qi out.
After Ruan Qi opened the door, she walked up to the man and hugged him.
“…?”
Song Zhou was stunned for a second before his face turned sour.
Why was Ruan Qi hugging another man?
“Ruan Qi, who is this?”
Song Zhou tried to pull them apart.
Ruan Qi sobbed as she replied, “Dad. This is my dad.”
Song Zhou’s hands froze as he turned to look at the middle-aged man.
It was his turn to feel uneasy as he said with embarrassment, “Father.
Ruan Quan frowned when he heard this strange man call him “Father”, but he didn’t look at him.
He stared at his daughter. After looking her up and down, he asked, “Why didn’t you listen to me and study hard? Why did you marry a random man?”
The random man Song Zhou was speechless.
“Dad, did Ruan Xue badmouth me again?”
“She said that you married a pauper, but this place…”
Song Zhou quickly said, “Father, let’s talk inside.”
Ruan Qi chatted with Ruan Quan from time to time and gave him her address.
She didn’t expect her father to come looking for her.
Ruan Qi quickly wiped the corners of her eyes. “Dad, please come in and have some tea. I’ll catch you up.”
Ruan Quan pursed his lips unhappily, but he didn’t want to make a scene where there might be neighbors or passersby.
He walked in and saw the luxurious decorations inside. He did not dare to look around and talked to Ruan Qi about her marriage after he sat down.
“Qiqi, it’s wrong to not inform your mother about getting married. “Getting married without consent from your parents is elopement. You’re educated, so you should know that elopement doesn’t end well. You…”
Ruan Qi interrupted her father’s nagging and pulled Song Zhou next to her,
“Dad, I’m already married. This is Song Zhou, the man I love!
Song Zhou immediately greeted his father-in-law respectfully again by calling him “Father”.
Only then did Ruan Quan look at Song Zhou. This man was quite good-looking.
It was no wonder that young girls would fall for him.
“Is this villa yours?”
Song Zhou shook his head. “No, I work and live here. Ruan Qi lives here with
me.”
Ruan Quan chided, “If you really love my daughter, why didn’t you inform her mother and me about getting married?”
“You haven’t even had a wedding ceremony and you asked my daughter to live with you? How is that proper?”
“Is it because you think that my daughter is young and easy to bully, so you toy with her feelings?”
His father-in-law’s questions came in rapid succession.
Song Zhou hurriedly explained, “Father, I…”
“Don’t call me that so quickly. I haven’t accepted you as my son-in-law yet.”
Ruan Quan’s tone was harsh as he said, “To marry someone’s daughter, you must go through the traditional rites and ceremonies. This is the rule and a form of respect for the bride.”
“YOU are such a reckless young man. If you are already so disrespectful before marriage, how will you treat my daughter after?
Song Zhou didn’t know what to say. He felt guilty about his father-in-law’s questions and couldn’t refute him.
“Dad, don’t scold him. I was the one who wanted to get married.”
Ruan Quan looked at his daughter. “You’re still young and don’t understand these things, but he’s already working. He can’t not understand these things. It’s wrong for him to skip all the steps that the man is supposed to go through.” “Qiqi, listen to your father. A man won’t cherish the woman he didn’t take seriously.”
Ruan Qi listened to her father’s earnest advice and knew that he was doing this for her own good.
But she couldn’t help herself and asked, “Dad, didn’t you take Mom seriously back then? Didn’t you cherish her? Why did she still leave you?
Ruan Quan was stunned for a long time before he said slowly, “Qiqi, how can you compare yourselves to me and your mother? We’re from the old days. We met through blind date and our relationship wasn’t deep. She fell in love with someone else and I accepted it.”
Ruan Qi gritted her teeth in anger when she saw how kind her father was and how he even found excuses for Ruan Xue.
“Dad, times have changed, but people haven’t. As long as it’s the right person, I’m willing to do anything. Stop blaming Song Zhou.”
Ruan Quan stared at his daughter for a long time after she scolded him before he finally said, “Do you despise your father and think that I nag too much?
“No. I just…”
“Since you said no, then listen to your father and leave with me.”
Ruan Quan stood up abruptly and grabbed Ruan Qi’s hand to take her away. “Father, please calm down.” Song Zhou said when he saw Ruan Quan pull his wife away. Men were stronger and he was worried that Ruan Qi would get hurt..
