Chapter 142: About Acting Spoiled 6_1
As he left the guesthouse, the corners of He Teng’s lips were lifted in a smile. Worried about waking the woman whose actions did not match her words, he moved lighter on his feet than he ever had in the past.
"Did you see that? A man in love behaves differently. It’s midday and He Teng is caught smiling." Chen Zheng and Lan Li chanced upon He Teng exiting the guesthouse. At first glance, Chen Zheng thought his eyes were playing tricks on him.
Lan Li looked towards He Teng. But He Teng had already walked far. His paced had quickened, so he didn’t see him smiling as he came out of the guesthouse.
"What do you think Lan Li? Isn’t He Teng’s wife nice? To see this introverted man so happy, she must be good! Lan Li, aren’t you jealous? You and He Teng are of the same age. He’s got a wife now. What about you? When will you get serious about your own life? Power and rank are not achievements. If you are a real man, you better marry a sweet wife soon. Then you’ll know how intoxicating it is to be in love!" Chen Zheng teased He Teng in a slightly off-beat manner and also took a jab at Lan Li.
"Corporal! Why didn’t you bring Sister-in-law to join us for lunch? Niu Rang and I even saved seats especially for you both. We didn’t let anyone else sit, and almost got beaten up for it." Upon seeing He Teng, Kang Xing ran up to him, expressing his woes with a pitiful look.
Niu Rang sneaked a glance at Kang Xing, cursed him for being an idiot in his heart, and sped away like the wind.
"Kang Xing!" He Teng glanced at the fleeing Niu Rang, and bellowed, "Niu Rang!"
"Present!"
