My Sweet Physician Wife Calls The Shots

Chapter 1858: Responsible for Being a Beautiful Flower

“And I’m not the only one who’s been coming back late these past few days. It’s been 17 years. Don’t tell me that my coming back late a few times is cause for concern? Don’t overthink it. It’s really fine.”

“Jitong! Do you still see me as your wife?” Zhou Ruxue looked at the stubborn man in front of her with heartache and sadness. Her heart was filled with anxiety.

“Of course!” Pei Jitong could not help but laugh out loud. “I spoiled you so much that you aren’t even aware about the minor problems I have to deal with.”

“Jitong!”

Zhou Ruxue was so anxious that she was pacing and fidgeting around, but Pei Jitong still refused to say anything. He pulled her to one side and said, “Look, over there are the pastries you like so much. You didn’t eat much in the morning, so let’s have some now.”

“Jitong, you still haven’t told me what’s wrong yet!”

“There’s nothing to tell. It’s men’s matters. You’ve been watching those dramas and their advertisements all day, right? Isn’t there a saying in one of them that goes, ‘I’m responsible for earning to support my family, and you’re responsible for being a beautiful flower’? Women should lead stress-free lives. Why bother yourself with men’s issues? Do you think your husband is so helpless?”

“Pfft... you even memorized that commercials?”

“That series you were watching was stuffed full of that commercial. I was working next to you, so it was hard to forget.”

“I always tell you to go to the study to work. It’s your fault for always sitting on the sofa to accompany me, wasting your time and hurting your efficiency.”

“If I can’t accompany my own wife, who will? In life, one does not only need to build a career but a good life too. And you’re my entire life.”

After watching Pei Jitong and Zhou Ruxue leave, Pei Jicheng walked out from behind a tree nearby. Grandma Pei, who had said she wanted to talk to her brother earlier, followed him out too.

Pei Jicheng could not help but chuckle. “Mom, I reckon that you passed all your EQ down to my brother and not a single point went to me. Look at how Big Brother just coaxed Sister-in-law. He’s like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl who’s just fallen in love.”

Grandma Pei sneered beside him. “I think it’s not just EQ, but IQ too.”

Pei Jicheng felt his scalp go numb when he saw Grandma Pei’s fierce expression.

“Mom, okay, okay, I know. I’ll definitely handle this matter well.”

Grandma Pei slapped his arm a few times in disappointment. “You, you, you! If you were half as smart as your big brother, would our Pei family have to worry about becoming a first-class wealthy family?”

“Hey, Mom, what are you doing? I’m already more than 40 years old. How can you still hit me?”

“You’re complaining about me hitting you? I really want to beat you to death! You married a crook and lived with her for 20 years. You’re really pissing me off!”

“Weren’t you the one who first took a liking to Leng Jinjie and said that the Leng family would definitely prosper because of Leng Jinpeng? Now you’re blaming me for a mistake you’ve made. Who knew at the time that Leng Jinjie was just an orphan the Leng family adopted? The Leng family is crazy, too. They aren’t even related, but they gave her shares as soon as they took her in. How could I have known that she was such a high and mighty young lady? In the end, she wasn’t even worth a cent.”

“I asked you to divorce her, but you still haven’t yet. What are you waiting for?”

“It’s not that I don’t want to divorce her. She’s a shrew, I want to keep my property, no matter what. She’s been married to me for 20 years and even gave birth to a son for me. If I really divorce her, wouldn’t I suffer a great loss?”
