Chapter 1236: Chapter 1208: Doing Mischief Together, Feelings Skyrocket

Yu Minglang saw her expression and feared she would get angry, so he quickly changed his tone, fully revealing his essence of being afraid of his wife.

"My wife can’t cook now, mainly because of the saying ’three years of pregnancy stupidity,’ it’s the baby in her belly affecting my wife’s culinary skills!"

The baby in Qian’s stomach was just over 3 months old, and hadn’t developed good hearing yet. If it could hear the father shifting blame like this, it might have cried out with innocent grievance!

"Every wrong has its head, and every debt has its owner. I cooked today’s meal, so don’t blame her," Qio Yu Xuan stood up for her. Qian gave him a discreet thumbs up, thinking that recognizing this master wasn’t in vain; he’s truly handy at crucial moments!

Xiaoqiang’s face turned even darker, glaring at Qio Yu Xuan while resisting the urge to flip him off and cuss him out. If it weren’t for him being the wife’s master, he’d want to beat up this old man.

The smell in the house finally dissipated after a while. Yu Minglang looked at the messy kitchen with a twitching mouth; he really couldn’t believe this was his home. How could these two be so talented?

"How about we just eat out?" Qian suggested.

"You go to the living room and play chess with that old guy, give me an hour," Yu Minglang didn’t want to take Qian to eat takeout, which was greasy and salty, not good for a pregnant woman. Rolling up his sleeves, he started tidying up the kitchen while cooking.

Qian and Qio Yu Xuan exchanged glances that had the mutual admiration of heroes, feeling a rush of camaraderie after doing something mischievous together.

After having the meal and seeing off Qio Yu Xuan, Yu Minglang adopted a posture as if to settle accounts. But Qian, being so smart, realized he was about to lecture her again. She acted first, not giving Xiaoqiang a chance to speak!

"After being out for so many days, are you tired?"

"Not tired, not as tiring as you hard cooking at home without me,"

Seeing it wasn’t working, with him still harping on the same issue, Qian unleashed her second move.

"I went to the maternity and child health hospital with my master today, do you know what we did?"

"What did you do?" Yu Minglang felt a bit annoyed.

Qian intended to divert his attention but didn’t expect this sentence to turn over the old jealousy brewing in Yu Minglang’s heart.

It’s not that he’s jealous of Qian but of himself. His work has been so busy that he hasn’t had time to accompany her for check-ups. How could it be possible for Qio Yu Xuan to accompany her on such matters?

He does believe it’s purely a teacher-student relationship between them, but after all, men and women are different. Although Qio Yu Xuan sees Qian as his deceased daughter, Xiaoqiang knows that, but the old guy is well-maintained, and standing with Qian, they don’t quite look like father and daughter. He understands Qian getting close to Qio Yu Xuan, but can others?

He could endure them cooking together, but going to the hospital together as well?!

To put it simply, Xiaoqiang was jealous.

Qian hadn’t noticed his displeasure yet and continued speaking excitedly.

"Master found me an amazing job, where I can play parent-child games with a group of babies. His teaching methods are especially novel, I was watching and—"

"Aren’t you supposed to be resting at home? What’s the point of going out? Isn’t the money at home enough for you?"

Yu Minglang’s words were like a cold shower pouring over her, leaving Qian upset.

"Is this about money? I’m just pregnant, not disabled. What’s wrong with finding something to do if it’s boring to stay at home all day?"

"Can’t you discuss it with me beforehand? At least let me know if it’s dangerous, or tiring!"

Yu Minglang rarely spoke to Qian like this. But today, he had already been through the kitchen burning experience and then got jealous of Qio Yu Xuan accompanying her, so he spoke without holding back.

Qian had a hot temper too, but thinking that they hadn’t seen each other for days, they shouldn’t fight as soon as they met, she restrained her anger to explain.

"How could Master’s job be dangerous? He’s so considerate, he wouldn’t let me do tiring tasks. It’s just playing games with a few kids, and learning some professional skills, it’s not tiring."

Hearing her say this, Yu Minglang was about to ask her more details when she added.

"Besides, what difference does it make if I discuss with you; can you surpass world authorities?"

That sentence was like stirring a hornet’s nest.

The fire in Yu Minglang’s heart flared up in an instant.

"Yes! I’m not as good as him, Qio Yu Xuan is so great; you find him more agreeable than me! But don’t forget, I’m your husband, what does Qio Yu Xuan count as! It’s alright when I’m home if he comes over, but when I’m not home, doesn’t he know to avoid suspicion?"

"Avoid what, you big-headed fool!" Qian couldn’t take it anymore, grabbing a pillow and throwing it at him, listening to him grumble in jealousy got her pissed off. She stood up and started to leave.

"Where are you going!" Yu Minglang reached to stop her, but Qian pushed him away.

"I’m leaving home—no, wait, this is my home, why should I leave?"

Qian pointed at Yu Minglang, "You, get out!"

Hearing Qian ask him to leave, Yu Minglang’s temper flared up too. His temples throbbed as he gritted his teeth and asked her.

"Say that again!"

Qian was also angry by now, repeating it three times in one breath.

"You get out, you get out, you get out!"

"Fine! If I step back into this house today, I’ll take your last name!" Yu Minglang, infuriated by her, turned to leave, not forgetting to stir up some family drama on his way out.

"Beauty, come with me! Let this capricious woman stay home and reflect by herself!"

Beauty usually preferred Yu Minglang over Qian, but sensing the tension between the couple at this moment, it looked at Qian, then Yu Minglang, finally siding up to Qian refusing to come out from behind her.

Seeing this made Yu Minglang even angrier, pointing at Beauty he shouted.

"You ungrateful, white-eyed dog, wasted so much good food on you!"

When Qian heard this, her anger flared even more, feeling he was lecturing her through the dog, she pointed at him in fury,

"Yu Minglang, what right do you have to scold my dog! When you leave, it’s all on me to take care of everything at home and raise Beauty too. Why are you so aggressive!"

Yu Minglang turned stone-faced, not looking at her angry face, which she took as even looking at her was unnecessary.

"If you dare to leave, don’t come back!"

Words coming to this point, he strode out the door, and Qian’s pillow hit the door.

Once only Beauty and herself were left in the house, Qian sat on the couch, feeling both angry and somewhat regretful.

She knew that during a quarrel with a man, saying something like ’If you dare, don’t come back’ is the most taboo. Why couldn’t she control her mouth, feeling annoyed as the heat of the moment rose.

Perhaps initially he hadn’t even thought of leaving, but such words bound him to leave, proven by experimental data. Men’s pride is a psychological taboo not to be touched, and what she did was almost textbook contrary behavior.

Beauty watching Qian’s face change from side to side, snuggled up close to her, seemingly comforting, yet asking, "Aren’t you the expert? Why do you knowingly commit such acts?"

Qian spoke to it.

"Even experts are of no use; when it’s personal matters they easily become short-sighted. There are so many people like this, knowing it all but unable to do it."

If everything could be rationally controlled with calm thinking, that wouldn’t be human—that would be a god.
