Chapter 1776 - 1775: Look at You, Such a Mess
"Wife, what’s going on between Tian Niu and Shuangshuang? I haven’t had the time to check in on them lately. Isn’t Shuangshuang about to give birth? Tian Niu pampers his wife like crazy—how could they possibly be fighting?" Qin Jian was baffled.
"No idea. Just some misunderstanding." An Hao sighed, "How long have they been married? How come they’ve got misunderstandings every other day? If their life continues to be this chaotic every day, how are they supposed to live like this?"
Qin Jian drove all the way to the entrance of the military compound, passed the guard post, and after about ten more minutes, arrived at the family quarters.
He parked the car, and An Hao stepped out, holding a bouquet of fiery red roses in her hands. She didn’t rush upstairs but stood downstairs, glancing around in every direction.
"Why aren’t you heading up? What are you looking at downstairs?" Qin Jian hopped out of the car and asked.
"Tian Niu. That guy is definitely waiting downstairs!" No sooner had An Hao finished speaking than Tian Niu emerged sheepishly from the small grove in front of the family quarters.
"Commander, Sis! You’re finally here! Please save me! I can’t live like this anymore!" Tian Niu poured his grievances without holding back.
"Seriously?" An Hao had only gotten halfway through her sentence when she noticed Tian Niu’s pitiful state.
It was already autumn and cooling down. The noon temperature made wearing long-sleeved military uniforms perfectly comfortable, yet Tian Niu was wearing only a sleeveless undershirt, shorts, and one shoe on one foot while the other foot, barefoot, was planted on the ground.
Seeing Tian Niu’s current appearance, Qin Jian couldn’t help but lecture him, "Just look at yourself right now! I can’t even bear to look at you! If your subordinates saw you like this, what a disgrace it’d be! Just because we’re in the family compound doesn’t mean you shouldn’t pay attention to your military bearing and discipline!"
"Commander, go easy on me! It’s precisely because I feel embarrassed that I didn’t dare wait for you at the door—I snuck into the grove to wait for you!" Tian Niu’s face was scrunched up like a bitter melon.
"Alright then, spill it. What’s the story?" Qin Jian stood with his arms crossed in front of Tian Niu, scolding him in a low voice, "You’ve been married this long, and you still can’t handle your own wife? Your backyard catches fire every other day—is it because you’re incompetent or is your missus a firecracker?"
"If my wife’s a firecracker, then my house is hosting a firecracker plus a ton of TNT!" Tian Niu said helplessly.
"TNT?" An Hao’s curiosity was piqued. "Who are you talking about when you say TNT?"
"Who else? My mother-in-law!" The mere mention of Duan Aihua made Tian Niu’s head feel twice its normal size. "You see this? My current state is all her handiwork! She said if my attitude while admitting fault wasn’t good enough, she wouldn’t let me have a single decent day!"
"Now I’m even more intrigued. What on earth did you do that was so outrageous?" Qin Jian was growing more confused, "Did you hit your wife?"
"No!"
"Did you swear at your wife?"
"No!"
"Did you slack off and make Shuangshuang do all the work?"
"Heaven help me, I treat her like she’s made of gold! I treasure her like she’s my own precious eyes!"
"Then what exactly did you do?" Tian Niu scratched his head indignantly, "That’s what’s driving me crazy—I don’t even know what I did to make her this angry!"
"Alright, enough talking. Let’s go check out the situation upstairs." An Hao said, shoving the bouquet of roses into Tian Niu’s hands, "Come on, lead the way!"
