Chapter 43: Grand Entrance
"Dr. Si always behaves indifferently towards others, but surprisingly, he is extremely tender to his wife—it feels like he is about to spoil her and send her to heaven. Since his wife’s arrival, he hasn’t done any laundry. I heard he’s also the one cooking and cleaning."
"If you put it nicely, it’s called loving his wife. If not, it’s considered coddling."
"Wasn’t it said that he did the housework simply because his wife injured her arm and couldn’t? I mean, there are people who disagree with Si Chen’s approach and others question after realizing the actual situation since Si Chen doesn’t seem like the kind of man who’s afraid of ’her indoors’."
"Would you even consider such a tiny wound as an injury? I think she’s just lazy. I don’t know what kind of love potion she used on Dr. Si that he’d choose a wife like her. If she were even a little bit beautiful I wouldn’t say a thing; but she looks uncouth and ugly, like a dampercake! His taste just dumbfounds me. A good cabbage has been ruined by a pig. Even if I were a man with no other options, I wouldn’t go for someone like her—-the village lunatic is more capable."
Of everyone there, it was Qian Niannian who spoke the harshest words. She used to have feelings for Si Chen, but because of Yu Shiya’s affection for Si Chen, she didn’t dare to confess. A Cheng Yaojin came out of nowhere and Tong Yao ended up taking the advantage right in front of her.
If the wife was beautiful, Qian Niannian wouldn’t be so furious. They say every pot finds its lid, but the pairing here seems off.
Do all handsome men prefer these ugly ducklings?
Guo Nan was left tongue-tied and stared in surprise at Qian Niannian. "Niannian, it seems like you haven’t met Dr. Si’s wife yet? You sound like you hold a deep grudge against her."
