After a day of training, Qi Taiguo returned home with some anxiety, as it seemed Cheng Su hadn’t come back yet. But as he entered, he paused at the sight of a fast-food box on the table.
She’d come back, but hadn’t cooked, instead bringing a takeout from the restaurant?
As he was wondering, Cheng Su walked out from the room, carrying clothes to bathe, and Qi Taiguo scratched his head, just about to speak.
Cheng Su brushed past him without uttering a word.
Qi Taiguo’s head buzzed.
Was she still angry?
Before they got along, he would order Cheng Su around, and she being stubborn, would either push back or comply, but never indifferent like now.
Qi Taiguo felt as if he were sitting on pins and needles, uncomfortable all over.
When Cheng Su came out of the bathroom, drying her hair, he looked over and coughed loudly, but she didn’t look his way, going straight into the room and slamming the door shut.
This temper!
Qi Taiguo clenched his teeth, snorting, and then started eating from the fast-food box.
Was it necessary to be so prickly just because he mentioned she came back late? She had her pride; as a man, he had his dignity!
If she wanted to be stubborn, let her be. He was not going to coax her. A woman must be kept in line every three days, otherwise, she won’t know who’s the head of the household.
Cheng Su, in her room, couldn’t concentrate on her book, listening to the noises outside. She didn’t know how much time had passed when she heard the door slam, and looking over saw darkness beneath it, pressing her lips together.
So he really wasn’t coming to coax her, to admit his mistake, that jerk!
Cheng Su threw her book on the bed and lay down.
After another restless night, Cheng Su, groggy, washed her face and went out, pushing her bicycle, her mind not completely clear.
As she pedaled away, Cheng Su yawned, and the autumn wind swept through, chilling her. She sneezed, lowering her head to wipe her nose, but when she looked up, her eyes widened, a scream escaping her.
Screech!
The urgent sound of brakes filled the air.
