Tian Niu, in such a sorry state, was clutching a bouquet of bright red roses as he trudged upstairs.
It happened to be right around dinner ti, so a lot of officers were heading ho to eat. Seeing Tian Niu dressed like that, they couldn’t help but tease him.
"Captain Tian, you sure have a romantic side!"
"Captain Tian, your outfit is truly... creative!"
"What’s the story? Did your wife make you suffer again? Captain Tian, that delicate little wife of yours seems to give you a hard ti often, huh?"
After being mocked like this, Tian Niu couldn’t even lift his head anymore. "Brothers, I’m begging you, go easy on ! Give your old pal Niu a shred of dignity!"
He finally reached his doorstep and steeled himself before knocking on the door.
The door opened, and Gu Shuangshuang, heavily pregnant, stood in the doorway. When she saw Tian Niu looking this pathetic, she didn’t know whether to laugh or be mad.
Then her gaze fell on the bouquet of bright red roses in his arms, and her anger instantly subsided by half. "So? Took you this long to finally figure things out?"
"Yeah, Shuangshuang, I was wrong. Please forgive !" Tian Niu offered the roses to her with both hands. "In my eyes, my heart, it’s only you! I’ll love no one but you for my entire life!"
"That’s more like it." Gu Shuangshuang accepted the flowers, lowered her head to kiss them, and a smile appeared at the corner of her lips. "Now tell , what’s the story with that girl?"
"What girl?" Tian Niu was stunned and completely clueless. "Shuangshuang, why are you bringing up a girl again? No, seriously, I don’t get it—why have you been mad at these last few days?"
"You don’t know?"
"I don’t know!"
"You’re apologizing without even knowing why?" Gu Shuangshuang’s temper flared up instantly. "So you’ve just been brushing off, haven’t you?"
"No, no! Shuangshuang, if you’ve got a problem with , or if I’ve done sothing wrong, just tell ! You leaving in the dark like this—I can’t figure it out even if I try!" Tian Niu was genuinely panicked, his face flushed red all the way to his neck.
"Can’t figure it out? You did sothing like that and still won’t admit it? If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, who knows how long you’d hide it from Shuangshuang?" Duan Aihua stord out of the kitchen, wielding a spatula and looking furious.
These past few days, she had figured Shuangshuang was close to her due date, so she had specifically taken a bus from Jiangning to co over.
But not long after arriving, she unexpectedly ran into her son-in-law doing *that* kind of thing.
"Mom, what exactly did I do? Can’t you just spell it out for ?" Tian Niu was so anxious he wanted to bang his head against the wall. "The way you’re saying it all vague like this, I have no idea what it is I did!"
"With that attitude, there’s no way we can talk! Let tell you, Tian Niu—you may look honest, but you’re sneaky as hell! You act all upright and simple, but your heart’s full of dirty tricks!" Duan Aihua was practically about to explode, pointing at Tian Niu while unleashing an avalanche of scolding.
"Captain, sister-in-law! See what I’m dealing with here? Look at how wronged I am! Co on already, don’t keep hiding over there in the corner!" Tian Niu couldn’t take the barrage from his mother-in-law anymore and called out for backup.
At this, Qin Jian and An Hao erged from the corner downstairs. Originally, they’d thought if a bouquet of flowers could smooth things over, there was no need for them to step in.
It’d be easy enough to resolve the issue between Gu Shuangshuang and Tian Niu, but once Duan Aihua got involved, it inevitably beca an all-out family battle. So Qin Jian and An Hao had wisely chosen to avoid getting involved.
But now, given the situation, avoiding it wasn’t going to cut it.
It was ti for them to show themselves.
