Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Yu Minglang’s mouth twitched as he sympathetically looked at the bound Beauty, her eyes filled with pleading, save me, your wife is too ruthless!

Xiaoqiang walked over, wanting to untie Beauty, but was pushed aside by Qian.

"Stay where it’s cool and don’t interrupt my serious business!"

"Wife, why are you competing with Beauty? Besides, does hypnosis even work on pets?"

"I’m competing? Is it me competing or is she just too unruly? Look at what mess the house is in because of her! Playing and tearing paper daily is one thing, but biting my notebook, barking at me, turning into a coward outside, and constantly getting chased by the neighbor’s little dog is too much. I’ve had enough!"

That home-bossy green tea dog, the more Qian looked, the more annoying Beauty became. Even a dog dared to challenge her; if she didn’t discipline this pest, would she be worthy of her prestigious name as Qian?

"Beauty is a working dog, it’s not as terrible as you say. Of course, a little naughtiness is understandable. After strict discipline at work, once relaxed, she just—"

"She just let loose, right? I’m telling you, and you too!" Qian pointed at Yu Minglang and then at the bound Beauty, with a fierce aura said, "If anyone under this roof dares not to be on my side, I’ll kick them out, and that includes you two!"

Being unjustly blamed! Yu Minglang felt utterly wronged.

But faced with his wife’s authority, he didn’t dare say much, only giving the tied-up Beauty a sympathetic look before scurrying off to make dinner for Qian.

While cooking, he listened to the commotion outside, curious about how his wife would hypnotize Beauty. If it worked, it might just be a scientific breakthrough, as he had never heard of a dog being hypnotized.

For dinner, since they had leftover food from the housekeeper stored in lunch boxes, Yu Minglang decided to steam some rice and make a popular dish that his wife loves — fresh handmade Northeast-style glass noodles. Using the sweet potato starch his mother-in-law sent, proportionally mixed, one circle in the hot water using an iron plate, chilled in cold water, made for a chewy and refreshing treat.

Yu Minglang made several plates when he heard his wife calling from the living room.

"Honey!!!"

"Coming!"

Yu Minglang walked over, smiling, and asked, "Wife, did your groundbreaking research on hypnotizing dogs succeed?"

Qian, angry and embarrassed, said, "Success my foot! She peed on the floor... and stop laughing! Quickly think of what to do!"

Poor Qian’s groundbreaking plan of hypnotizing a dog ended in failure.

Yu Minglang, holding tissue and a mop to clean up the mess, painfully refrained from laughing and told himself internally to hold it in! Absolutely not to laugh; his wife is petty. If she saw him mocking her, she would surely think of ways to retaliate!

Even though Lang saw through it all and really wanted to laugh, he still seriously comforted, "Wife, don’t take it to heart, research always requires numerous failures before one learns by trial and error..."

Oh dear, he really couldn’t keep making things up anymore. How did his wife even come up with this weird idea of hypnotizing a dog? Hahaha! It’s just too funny!

"Are you secretly laughing inside?" Qian squinted.

Yu Minglang immediately put on a standard serious face, "No! Absolutely not!"

Yu Minglang thought his wife was just too clever; when smart people reach a certain level, they do tend to do silly things. Hahaha, this joke will last him a lifetime, enough to laugh out some ab muscles.

This time Qian was truly embarrassed, in fact, even she felt a bit foolish trying to hypnotize Beauty.

Fortunately, Qian’s phone rang, and Shi Touyu arranged a patient for her to meet.

"Why so late, and you still have to go in person?" Yu Minglang asked.

Qian hung up and touched her chin, "Shi Tou just told me this family is here on vacation, but their base isn’t here, and the old man fell ill. Because Shi Tou’s family has a good relationship with theirs, they wanted to ask if I could go check it out, with the price up to us to decide."

Having just bought two cars, Qian hardly had any cash left, and hearing this offer was certainly appealing. It’s natural to prioritize such work, especially for a friend of Shi Tou’s family.

Yu Minglang looked at the address, it was in the suburbs of Lishi, quite a distance from home, and it was already dinner time. By the time they finished eating and went, it would be dark.

"Let’s eat first, after dinner I’ll take you, and bring Beauty along for a walk. I remember there’s a forest in the villa area there, and Beauty loves running outdoors. By the time we’re done, you should be too, and we can head home together." All in all, he wasn’t comfortable with his wife going out alone at night for house calls.

"Heh heh, thank you for the opportunity to ride with your precious dog," Qian said coldly.

"No sarcasm now, I’ll cook, you hurry and untie Beauty, we need to keep time after dinner."

Qian pouted at him, and while Yu Minglang was cooking, she and Beauty engaged in a staring contest.

After eating, Yu Minglang drove Qian to the villa area, personally escorting her to the house. Seeing that the people receiving Qian were women, and he knew them, he felt relieved.

The woman receiving Qian was Mrs. Li, who should be in her sixties, but well-maintained, looking only in her forties, appearing to be a well-educated and sensible person. Yu Minglang recognized her, but Mrs. Li’s focus was on Qian, neglecting Yu Minglang, and he didn’t bother to introduce himself since it was his wife’s domain here; there would be time for catching up later.

Leaving Qian to treat the patient, he took Beauty for a stroll in the woods near the villa area.

He hadn’t been to this area before, only seeing the woods while driving past, which left an impression.

Beauty seemed excited once in the woods, running around freely. With no one else around, Yu Minglang let Beauty off her leash, allowing her to run wild.

Though Beauty seemed timid, only bullying Qian, it was because she had been traumatized. Her previous handler died in her view, causing a significant personality change, so Yu Minglang was particularly attentive to her.

He knew that despite Qian’s complaints, she took meticulous care of Beauty, buying good dog food and, despite verbally disdaining, taking Beauty downstairs for walks daily, and even getting her some luxurious pet items.

This kind of life was just perfect for Minglang.
