Chapter 1152: Peace
In the end, Fan Zijin did not settle the score with his son because Mu Yangling was right. "Considering the children are still so young, how would they know what their type is? He could fancy someone like me today, but if I beat him up tomorrow, he would prefer another type."
Qi Haoran’s intuition told him not to let the two of them quarrel, so he said cheerfully, "That’s right. When I was young, I thought that women were troublesome and there was no need to get married. But look, I married Ah Ling the moment I grew up, and now I’m living quite well."
Fan Zijin rolled his eyes at him, while Mu Yangling looked at him approvingly.
At this moment, Qi Haoran could only vaguely guess that the two of them were having a disagreement over the children. However, he did not know what Fan Zijin had said about Mu Yangling. When he asked Mu Yangling at night, he jumped up from the bed in anger and snapped in fury, "How can Zijin say that about you? What’s wrong with you? And me, henpecked?"
Mu Yangling lay on the bed and applied a facial mask. Without opening her eyes, she said, "Alright, stop pretending. I’m not angry with him. There’s no need for you to pretend to be indignant."
Qi Haoran’s body stiffened. He sat cross-legged beside her ingratiatingly and said in a low voice, "Actually, he’s just stubborn on the surface but he’s actually quite soft-hearted. Even though he often says that he disdains me, he always puts my matters first. Look at our shops. Whenever we encounter any unsolvable problems, isn’t he more anxious than us?"
Mu Yangling applied her homemade facial mask mixture evenly and said casually, "That’s towards you, not me."
Mu Yangling took the handkerchief and wiped her hands, then looked up at him carefully and sighed. "Since Zijin treats you so well, you shouldn’t be throwing tantrums at him all the time. Do be more understanding."
"..." Qi Haoran was jealous and felt that he had been wronged. Wasn’t he being preemptive and worried that Ah Ling would be mad at Zijin because of this? In the end, he somehow ended up the bad guy. If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have said anything.
Qi Haoran subconsciously poked her cheek and pouted. "Then promise me that you won’t be mad at him. Promise me that we’ll get along like before."
