Chapter 83: Call Me Husband
The war between Lin Chengdu and Chu Ge finally ended before dinner. Lin Qin exhaled a long sigh of relief while holding his bowl, grateful for the peace and quiet.
After dinner, Chu Ge looked at Lin Qin as though she wanted to say something but hesitated. Her eyes darted toward the darkening sky, and she seemed restless.
Lin Qin more or less understood Chu Ge’s meaning. He said, "Mom, it’s getting late. Why don’t you stay here tonight?"
Chu Ge was just about to nod when Lin Chengdu, who was sitting nearby watching TV, interjected faintly, "Are you my wife or my girlfriend? Staying overnight at my house—aren’t you afraid of what people will say?"
Chu Ge nearly choked on this, her anger bubbling to the surface as she gritted her teeth and hissed, "Fine! I’ll leave right now!"
Without waiting for Lin Chengdu’s response, she grabbed her bag and stormed out, slamming the door shut with a loud bang. It was clear she was utterly fuming inside.
Lin Qin glanced at the door, which had been gently closed earlier, then turned to his father and asked, "Dad, is it really okay to let Mom go home alone so late?"
Lin Chengdu furrowed his brows, and suddenly said, "I just remembered—my car door might not be locked. I’ll go check it now." As if he’d found the perfect excuse, Lin Chengdu left in a hurry after saying this.
Lin Qin watched his father’s hurried retreating figure, smiling without saying much.
Lin Chengdu might actually have gone to escort Chu Ge home, because he didn’t return for a long while. Just then, Lin Qin received a call from Meng Chao.
