“You didn’t drink the medicine. You didn’t have to suffer the pain.” Cai Anqi angrily snapped.

  Wang Bo’s face dimmed a little. Cai Anqi never talked to him nicely and never cared about his feelings.

  When Wang Bo saw Ning Shu staring at him, he nervously gulped and lowered his head to eat his noodles.

  Seriously, every time Ning Shu saw Wang Bo acting like this, she felt her heart itch with the desire to just grab Wang Bo’s collar and scream: would it kill you to talk back to your wife?

  Who else would people choose to bully, if not people like you? People with no bottom lines were either always bullied or were utterly presumptuous and unrestrained.

  Obviously, Wang Bo and Yang Ziyi were the type to be bullied.

  Cai Anqi chose this family because honest people were easy to bully.

  “I don’t want to interfere in the affairs between husband and wife, but Wang Bo is your husband. At the very least, there should be respect,” Ning Shu said to Cai Anqi.

  Cai Anqi curled her lips in disdain and muttered, “What part about him is worthy of respect?”


  Ning Shu put her chopsticks down and asked, “Then what part about him has let you down? Is it because his salary isn’t high? He’s honest and doesn’t understand romance? This is how he is. This was what you chose at the beginning. Now you blame Wang Bo for your mistake.”


  “I was blind back then.” Cai Anqi said indignantly.

  “Mom……” Wang Bo called out for Ning Shu in a low voice. His expression dimmed. He had no choice but to ask Ning Shu to stop the dispute.

  Ning Shu didn’t talk anymore. She picked up her chopsticks again and resumed eating.

  Wang Bo exhaled in relief and turned to see Cai Anqi stabbing at the noodles. It was obviously not to her taste, so she was furious.

  After supper, Ning Shu poured more medicine for Cai Anqi.

  Cai Anqi looked at the bitter medicine, and her face grew darker than the medicine. It was smelly and hard to drink.

  Cai Anqi gulped the medicine down in a hurry. This wasn’t to have a child but to cure her illness.

  As soon as she finished drinking the medicine, she headed back to her bedroom and played with her phone and computer.

  Wang Bo sat alone on the sofa in the living room, stupefied. He always looked honest and bad with words, but now he looked even more stupid.

  Ning Shu cut fruit and brought it in front of Wang Bo. She said, “Try to communicate with your wife more.”


  “She doesn’t listen to me at all,” Wang Bo said, frustrated.

  “And I can’t beat her with words.”


  If it weren’t for the fact that he was currently her son, Ning Shu would’ve laughed in his face.

  They all said that taking a wife was to marry virtue. However, men always wanted pretty and flirtatious sluts, yet they also wanted those beauties to be virtuous. Those daydreamers never checked if they even had the ability to subdue them.

  It was human instinct to worship the strong. Women were eager to be conquered by powerful men.

  If Wang Bo was a CEO, he didn’t have to do anything. Money and social status would automatically add layer after layer of charm to Wang Bo. Silence could turn into calm confidence, and stupidity could turn into endearing silliness.

  Ha. Ha. Ha……

  Ning Shu asked Wang Bo, “Do you want to live like this in the future? If I die, you may not even have a warm home-cooked meal when you come home.”


  “I’ll do it myself.” Wang Bo said after a moment of hesitation.

  Ning Shu nodded, “You have a backbone. Your mother is proud.”


  Wang Bo: ……

  Wang Bo took the summer mat and laid it on the floor of the living room.

  “Not going back to your room?” Ning Shu asked. Wang Bo had slept on the floor for a long time.

  Wang Bo shook his head. “I want to think through things.”
