Chapter 973: Why are you bothering my wife?

No matter if it was working or being a full-time parent, Ye Qiuqiu had her troubles; she found she couldn’t find a balance point and felt exhausted.

“Haobo got transferred to S City, and although he’s been promoted back to a manager position, I’m not happy at all,” Ye Qiuqiu said with a downcast tone.

In the beginning, she chose to follow Chen Haobo to his hometown, H City, because she didn’t want a long-distance relationship; otherwise, she could have opted for the better prospects in C City.

As a result, their relationship went smoothly until marriage, after which they ended up in a long-distance situation.

The separation between husband and wife affected their relationship, and it was when Ye Qiuqiu thought of this that she felt unhappy.

“How often does he come back?”

“It’s been three weeks since he returned. He’s quite busy with work, often doing overtime,” explained Ye Qiuqiu, “He promised to come home whenever he has a holiday, after all, he misses Qianqian. Now we video call every evening.”

Lin Gantang asked, “Did his salary increase?”

“Yeah, the salary is higher there. He accepted the transfer to provide for the family,” Ye Qiuqiu spoke as if convincing herself, “Adult life isn’t easy.”

Seeing Ye Qiuqiu’s low spirits, Lin Gantang found it difficult to voice some things.

No matter how busy Chen Haobo was, he wasn’t busier than Wen Yanqing, who would fly back overnight from abroad just because of a single word from her, but Chen Haobo might not necessarily come back home to see his wife and daughter in just two or three days because Ye Qiuqiu missed him.

It wasn’t that she maliciously speculated about Chen Haobo’s feelings towards Ye Qiuqiu, but a man claiming to be busy was in itself a dangerous signal.

Lin Gantang suggested, “Why don’t you go work in S City too, if you can bear leaving Qianqian.”

Ye Qiuqiu couldn’t bear it.

She scratched her head vigorously: “Ah, this is so annoying, I don’t want to think about it anymore. Whatever will be will be.”

Seeing her distressed, Lin Gantang comforted her, “It’s okay, you still have me. No matter what, I will definitely help you.”

“Exactly,” Ye Qiuqiu perked up, “If one day I find my husband annoying, I’ll just pack up and seek refuge with you!”

Lin Gantang smiled warmly, “Right, we’re not going to be upset by them.”

It got particularly cold early this year in C City. Standing on the balcony, the north wind howled.

Big Mi followed Lin Gantang out onto the balcony, frolicking on a patch of cat grass she had specially planted.

Wen Yanqing embraced her from behind, chin resting on her shoulder, gazing out at the scenery ahead.

“You’re home early today?” Lin Gantang turned her head and kissed his chin.

“Didn’t want to be busy, I came back to be with you and the baby,” Wen Yanqing said, liking the feeling of holding her in his arms, feeling secure.

His warm hand touched Lin Gantang’s belly, his brows softened with tenderness.

The fetus moved, coincidentally kicking his hand.

Wen Yanqing gently stroked it, feeling the baby’s movement, his eyes smiling, “I think it just turned over inside your belly.”

Lin Gantang also laughed, “The baby likes Daddy, seems a bit excited at your voice.”

Seeing that he was lightly dressed, she asked worriedly, “Aren’t you cold? Let’s go back inside.”

“I’m not cold.” But Wen Yanqing still went inside with her.

He wasn’t afraid of the cold, but he feared Lin Gantang might be.

He casually closed the door to the balcony and walked a few steps before suddenly remembering something. He turned back, picked up Big Mi, who had flattened a portion of the cat grass, and brought it back inside.

“Meow~”

After escaping his hands, Big Mi ran towards Lin Gantang’s feet and affectionately rubbed against her.

The cat, with its round and bushy face, looked incredibly cute. Lin Gantang fondly rubbed it a few times.

Wen Yanqing, observing the harmonious scene, wasn’t moved.

Why tangle with my wife when you have one of your own?

He turned and sprayed catnip water onto the multi-million-dollar cat, then tossed Big Mi onto it, he was thoroughly satisfied watching Big Mi obliviously lick his own “wife.”
