Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Even though Qian acts defiant outside and fears nothing, it doesn’t mean she’s not fuming inside.

Yu Minglang takes a deep sniff in the air.

"Ah~ such a strong smell."

"Acting crazy for no reason?" She just bathed, where would there be a smell?

"A nose-searing smell of gunpowder! Qian, didn’t you have enough fun outside today?"

Apiao had already reported back to him about his wife’s stellar performance at the research institute; it gave him quite the vicarious face, yet why was she so mad the moment she got home?

"When did I not have enough fun? I might not be as addicted as you, being such a crowd favorite, though. By the way, I forgot to ask, when do you have some free time?"

The sarcastic tone ringing alarm bells in Yu Minglang’s head, he cautiously responds.

"I’m free now."

Could it be that she wants to settle accounts with him? The promised honeymoon evaporated after the wedding, and they worked non-stop for two days causing endocrine disorder for his wife?

"Alright then, go meet with your fangirls."

"Oh, okay." He nods.

Upon hearing this, Qian yanks off her face mask, ready to slap it on his face. How shameless, this guy dares to agree?

"Sister, I’m here~" As he says this, he’s unbuttoning Qian’s clothes, with his "sister" all wrapped up inside them.

Though what’s on his mind is that his wife indeed has endocrine disorder, busy for two days with no time for their ’activities’, no wonder she’s so feisty, despite having set a time with his second brother, he thinks perhaps he can tackle his wife’s need swiftly?

"Quit your nonsense! Who said anything about that sister!" She blushes, slaps the mask onto his face, turning Xiaoqiang into a comical dark face.

"Not this one, which then? Wife, you only have this one, right?" Couldn’t be, does she want something hardcore today?! Xiaoqiang has misunderstood.

Qian’s nostrils flare in anger, this guy is unbelievable!

"I’m talking about Liu Miao, Liu Miao!"

"What does she do?" What Miao? Never heard of her.

"The ’flower’ at the institute, she came looking for me, asked about your free time, wants a ’chat’ with you alone!" She emphasized ’alone’ heavily.

It took Yu Minglang several seconds to come to his senses, "Oh, you’re talking about Master Miejue."

"Master... Miejue?" These words miraculously soothe Qian’s jealousy.

"This isn’t my nickname; Apiao started it, said she always acts sarcastic yet carries herself with superiority like no one is worth her attention. I find it pretty apt; why does she want you? See me? What for?"

"Who knows why for, you go and you’d find out."

"I’d have to be out of my mind to see her, I’m not familiar with her." Yu Minglang finally figures out why his wife is displeased, decides not to rush the shower but heads to the kitchen messing with something.

He comes out after a while with a cup of light brown liquid.

"Here, Qian this is a drink I made, have you tried? Vinegar mixed with baking soda and sugar, we used to drink this as soda when I was a kid."

"I have indeed, it’s actually a pointless concoction, the neutralization results in carbon dioxide and water, destroying any original nutrients." When she couldn’t afford soda as a child, she’d ask her mom to make this; most kids in Q City have this kind of childhood memory.

"Drink what you lack, today my wife drank vinegar excessively, have some vinegar to replenish yourself."

"Go away!" She knew this guy had no good intentions!

"Okay, I’m leaving." He pretends to leave, quickly folds back while she’s not looking, and pounces onto the sofa.

"No way, experience tells me that if I don’t figure this out, I might end up sleeping on the floor tonight. Wife, there’s still time; shall we do it once?" Saying this while stripping, he jokingly sketches a cross in front of him.

"Thanks to Master Miejue’s opportunity, I get to sleep with my wife before it’s dark, Amitabha! Wife from now on, just ask directly for some affection, don’t pretend to be jealous, tut tut!"

"You faithless man who mixes Buddha and God together, get away from me!"

Annoyed, Qian tries to kick him away but is pinned down, just about to get caught as her brother’s call comes through.

"Second brother, what’s up?" Yu Minglang keeps a lazy stance while pressing Qian, with his chin resting on her shoulder, holding the phone lazily in one hand while the other tries to stir trouble, and Qian bites it.

"Come outside for dinner, hurry." Second brother sticks to his succinct style.

Second brother and Dayi are stabilizing pregnancy in Q City, pilots have ample vacation.

"Got it, on the way." Yu Minglang gritted teeth from the bite yet couldn’t cry out.

"We are downstairs at the BBQ shop, give you ten minutes, if Dayi gets hungry you face the consequences."

After hanging up, Yu Minglang feels like he’s been handed a heart-piercing dose of dog food.

"Look at Mr. Yu, what has he come to? Threatening his own brother just so his wife doesn’t go hungry?"

Subtext: In this world, who could love their wife more than I do, I protest!

"Ever since Dayi got pregnant, second brother seemed to change a lot, more sympathetic than usual, it’s a good thing. However, you are becoming more childish and shameless! How do you remain immature after marriage?" After Qian finishes, she notices Yu Minglang showing a face of grievance, like a child who can’t get candy.

"Fairytales lie to us all!" He protests!

Qian doesn’t understand why he randomly comes up with such a line.

"What are you talking about?"

"Isn’t there a saying that hard work pays off?" Xiaoqiang looks at Qian’s belly with grievance.

Qian nods, "Yes, what does that have to do with your immaturity?"

"We confirmed our relationship first, right? Then why are those who started later all getting pregnant? I’m so hardworking, why doesn’t it pay off for me? Look, ever since Mr. Yu became a dad, isn’t he getting all arrogant?"

This Mr. Yu is flying high, even outdid the Yu family’s little overlord aura! Oh, right, he’s a pilot, so he’s indeed soaring high!

Narcissus is expecting too.

Dayi is expecting as well.

This afternoon, Yu Minglang was also teased by Qiao Zhen, who mentioned Shi Tou seemed late this month, suspecting pregnancy and plans to get a blood test tomorrow.

They each prance around Xiaoqiang here, stimulating Xiaoqiang into questioning his life.

How "hardworking" is he!

He grabs any chance to strive for a baby with his wife!

Since his wife said they could start trying for a baby so long ago, he’s been diligent ever since!

Contraceptive measures all ceased, and his wife began planned nutritional supplementation, why hasn’t heaven "rewarded" him?
