Chapter 744: Henpecked

“Hey, Alex, what do you mean? Are you helping outsiders bully your bro?” Mu Zichen looked at Qiao Yu and said with anger. “Are you still my bro?”

“To tell you the truth, Zheng Ziming and Wen Yue are good friends,” Qiao Yu said calmly. “Don’t you know what you are like when you go to a bar?”

“What am I like?” Mu Zichen stuck his neck out and said.

Qiao Yu frowned slightly and looked at Mu Zichen. “Since you have a kid, you should stay put and take care of yourself. When you were single before, it doesn’t matter how you play. Now, you have a kid and a wife. Don’t be so self-centered.”

“You also know what is being self-centered. Don’t you know it’s very painful to suppress your real self?” Mu Zichen looked at Qiao Yu. “Plus, you don’t know how annoying Wen Yue is lately. She said she didn’t have a good appetite. Fine, whatever she wanted to eat, I bought it for her She thinks the ones that are bought are not good, she wants me to cook. Sure, I went to learn how to cook. But when I finished cooking, she said she didn’t want to eat anymore. She tortured me with all her might. The most upsetting thing is that she loses her temper at me every single time. I couldn’t even say anything and could only listen to her like a little bastard. After staying a little longer outside, she said I went to meet a girl. When a girl chats with me on WeChat[1], she grabbed my phone and yelled at her. I don’t even have many friends with the opposite sex anymore. I’m so f*cking done.”

“She’s pregnant. Can’t you understand?” Qiao Yu said calmly.

“Ha…” Mu Zichen sneered and looked at Qiao Yu. “Alex, it’s easy for you to criticize me from the sidelines. You didn’t experience this when Xia Ning had a baby back then.”

Qiao Yu heard this and his expression changed a little. He suddenly remembered Xia Ning’s appearance when she was pregnant. She was very quiet and had never been in a fight with him. In fact, they did not even have a lot of communication.

Now that he thought about it, he could not help but feel a bit bitter in his heart. She said she had depression before. Did she fall sick at that time? He had heard that pregnant women who were not cared for can easily get depressed.

“You should be glad.” Qiao Yu looked at Mu Zichen. Be glad that he can stay with his wife when she gives birth.

“What’s there to be glad about? Be glad that I have a tigress at home now? Be glad that I have to wait upon my wife and kids every day?” Mu Zichen smirked. “Alex, to be honest, if Wen Yue is half as gentle as Xia Ning, I would be happy.”

Qiao Yu looked at the pendant on the table. He really wanted Xia Ning to act cute with him and lose her temper.

She did not seem to have any expectations for him. She would accept whatever he gave her. That was too passive.

Just at this time, Mu Zichen’s phone rang. He took a look and was so upset that he laughed. He pointed to the phone and said to Qiao Yu, “See, I’ve only been out for a short while and the Reaper is here again.”

Qiao Yu darted a look at him and did not speak.

“Hello, Xiao Yue. I’m at Alex’s place and didn’t go out to play. Am I that kind of person?” Mu Zichen was smiling. “If you don’t believe me, I can ask Alex to talk to you.”

“Yes, yes, yes. He has a better character than me. I’ll be back soon and won’t drink. Relax, Honey. Be good at home. Miss you.” Mu Zichen hung up and felt relieved.

“Looks like you are very good at changing faces lately.”

Mu Zichen looked at Qiao Yu who was smiling and sneered. “Don’t talk bad about me. I won’t lower myself to her level.”

“Okay, go home early.” Qiao Yu kicked him out directly.

Mu Zichen looked at Qiao Yu. “Didn’t Xia Ning say no to you? Why don’t we go out and play together tonight?”

“I won’t be your shield.” Qiao Yu picked up the files and started to read.

“No!” Mu Zichen snorted. “Which one of us is henpecked? Fine, I’m leaving.” As he spoke, he walked out.

Qiao Yu looked at Mu Zichen’s back and his eyebrows twitched. Henpecked? That title sounded good.
