The boss gave him an annoyed look and said, “I’m paying your salary, but you’re not doing any work. Be careful, or I’ll deduct your salary.”

The waiter heard this and quickly hurried away. The boss then glanced at Zhou Chao and Jiang Li and muttered, “These two don’t look like freeloaders, do they?”

“I’m so full. I didn’t expect this hot pot stew to be so delicious. I ate two big bowls of rice and so many dishes. If I gain weight, it’s all your fault, Zhou Chao,” Jiang Li complained while rubbing her belly, speaking softly.

Hearing this, Zhou Chao was instantly bewildered. “Blame me again??? Who was the one saying I should eat more just a moment ago? Leave this piece of meat for me.”

“Well, what else could I do?”

Zhou Chao shook his head helplessly, shouldering the blame. After all, reasoning with a woman was a losing battle, and when it came to a pregnant woman... well, it was better to just admit defeat.

Looking at the nearly empty pot with only some soup left, Zhou Chao, who was only sixty percent full, decided against ordering more dishes.

“We’re done eating. Let’s go back.”

Zhou Chao paid the bill to the boss directly. The passing waiter glanced at Zhou Chao’s phone balance and was dumbfounded.

“What are you standing there for? Get out of the way!” The boss shouted sternly. The distracted waiter finally snapped out of it and quickly made way for Zhou Chao and Jiang Li. Rread latest chapters at novelhall.com

Hearing this, Zhou Chao clenched his teeth in frustration. “It’s all your fault. If it weren’t for you being pregnant, I’d show you who’s boss!”

“Ha, ha, ha,” Jiang Li playfully stuck her tongue out, released Zhou Chao’s hand, and briskly walked ahead.

“This girl, I’ll see how I’ll deal with you when we get back tonight!” Zhou Chao sighed as he glanced down at himself, then started running to catch up with her.

“Hey, are you newlyweds going for a jog after dinner? You’ve worn the lady out,” they encountered the landlady resting at the door as they entered the guesthouse.

Jiang Li’s eyes twinkled as she walked up to the landlady and said loudly, “Auntie, you don’t know. He bullies me. I just ate a bit more, and he made me walk back. We walked for a whole half an hour. It really tired me out.”

Hearing this, Zhou Chao turned into a stone statue, staring dumbfounded at his wife. Was she really setting him up like this? And who insisted on walking in the first place? Now she was blaming him, what a twist of fate!

“Young man, you can’t do this. A wife is meant to be cherished. You shouldn’t treat her like this in the future,” the landlady scolded, and Jiang Li, standing behind her, secretly chuckled. She enjoyed watching Zhou Chao’s reaction.

“Understood, Auntie. I’ll definitely cherish her from now on!” Zhou Chao said with a humble and obedient expression. He had to keep up the act, even though he was biting his teeth in frustration.

“Good, good. Now go take a shower quickly, so you don’t catch a cold later,” the landlady advised.

“Let’s go, my dear!” Jiang Li walked out from behind the landlady, smiling.

“Auntie, we’ll head back to our room now,” Jiang Li waved her hand and followed Zhou Chao towards their guesthouse.

As soon as they entered the guesthouse, Zhou Chao pulled Jiang Li into his arms. “Little lady, your courage is growing day by day. Do you realize you’re playing with fire?”

“Do you want me to help you put out that fire?” Jiang Li stared at Zhou Chao with wide eyes and a mischievous smile.
