Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife novel Chapter 185

Chapter 185: Chapter 185: A Soldier Deals with a Thug?

Cheng Su and Qi Taiguo had been flirting and sparring with flower spears since early morning, their laughter reaching all the way outside. When Hualing stepped out of her room, she faintly heard their laughter, and couldn’t help butset her face.

Ever since the day she had argued with Chen Shouwang and he didn’t come home, it was as if an invisible wall had been erected between the two of them— they were no longer as close as they used to be. Even though Chen Shouwang had knelt on the ground admitting his mistakes, and assured her that he had done nothing to wrong her, that he had only failed to return home because he was drunk, and that he would never do it again, she just couldn’t shake off her discomfort.

And even after Chen Shouwang admitted his errors, he was extremely cautious, creating a palpable strangeness and gloom between them.

Now, hearing the laughter from Cheng Su’s place, Hualing felt even more disconcerted. Why should someone uneducated and nouveau riche enjoy a more comfortable life than hers?

Hualing flicked the strap of her handbag and huffed a low curse, "Let’s see how long your happiness lasts! Bumpkins!"

Cheng Su, sipping her white porridge, told Qi Taiguo about the success of the previous day’s meal. At the end, she said, "Come August, I’ll go register and prepare the materials for my studies."

Qi Taiguo nodded, indicating he understood, then took out sixty yuan from his pants pocket, placed it on the table, and pushed it towards her.

"What’s this for?"

"It’s the allowance I got this month. Didn’t you ask to send money back home earlier? Now it’s for you," Qi Taiguo replied.

Cheng Su responded with an "Oh," took the money, and continued drinking her porridge without making any pretentious offers for him to keep it, as she had money of her own.

In her view, it was only right for a man to provide for the family; why would she hypocritically refuse it?

Yet, she didn’t even inquire about the other thirty yuan.

Qi Taiguo was slightly surprised but also greatly relieved inside.

"Oh, has Ning Ge called you? I’m not sure if he has made it back home yet," Cheng Su suddenly asked.

Qi Taiguo felt a sourness in his heart and said, "You’re still worried he won’t remember the way home?"

Cheng Su shrugged and said, "Just asking. I’ll head back to the restaurant in a bit. Are you going to the unit?"
