Chapter 1016: Chapter 1021: The Adorable Man
By noon, when the other guests began their meal, Duo’er took the opportunity to carry the two soundly sleeping children back to the master bedroom, to ensure the little ones slept undisturbed.
After settling the little things down, she also lay on the bed, her face completely filled with satisfaction.
She had finally made it through the postpartum confinement, and from now on, she would be free!
And with both a son and a daughter, her life could be considered complete.
After lunch, the guests slowly started to leave, and Bai Yifan finally found the chance to speak with Tan Zhenghong alone.
"I have some not-so-great news, but I can’t keep it from you," Bai Yifan said with a sympathetic look at Tan Zhenghong.
Tan Zhenghong rolled his eyes, "Spit it out!"
What’s with a grown man hemming and hawing like that? Today, no news could bother him because he was finally out of confinement and could do something that would make him very happy.
"I just took Duo’er’s pulse, and her body hasn’t fully recovered yet, probably needs another month," Bai Yifan said slowly.
This meant that the thing Tan Zhenghong had been looking forward to for so long was going to be delayed.
Tan Zhenghong was stunned, then said casually, "Bai Yifan, you think I would believe your nonsense?"
"If you don’t believe it, that’s up to you, but don’t say I wasn’t kind if something goes wrong," Bai Yifan’s eyes suddenly lit up.
This gave him another opportunity. 𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝙤𝒎
Tan Zhenghong rolled his eyes again, but he thought that if having one child requires a month’s confinement, it seemed reasonable that Duo’er’s twin confinement would take two months.
Well... he had endured for so long, did one more month really matter?
But could they not wait until he had planned for several days and made all the preparations before telling him?
Even if his heart were made of iron, he would still feel heartbroken!
Bai Yifan secretly rejoiced, but he did it not only to give Tan Zhenghong a hard time. A month truly wasn’t enough for a woman’s body to fully recover, at least forty days were required.
The extra half month was simply a trap for Tan Zhenghong, who rushed to stop him as soon as he held Tangyuan.
It seemed a bit underhanded, but... it was not a big issue.
Finally, Bai Yifan patted Tan Zhenghong on the shoulder, "A man has to bear a little more. But if you can’t stand it, don’t force yourself. You could consider finding someone else."
"In your dreams!"
Tan Zhenghong shot back an eye roll without hesitation.
The corners of Bai Yifan’s mouth lifted ever so slightly. As a man, he admired Tan Zhenghong.
But in Tan Zhenghong’s eyes, his expression was nothing but a blatant provocation.
Returning to his room, Tan Zhenghong hadn’t yet recovered from the shock of the bad news.
Alas, why was his life so hard?
"Why such a gloomy face?" Qiao Duo’er sensitively sensed Tan Zhenghong’s mood.
Tan Zhenghong replied irritably, "Isn’t it because of that bastard Bai Yifan? Every time I see him, my mood turns sour."
Qiao Duo’er couldn’t help but laugh unkindly, "You’re already a father, can’t you be a little more mature?"
If Green Group and Tangyuan could talk, they’d probably give Tan Zhenghong a good scolding too.
"The childish one is Bai Yifan; he’s just jealous I married a good wife and always trying to set me up. That guy is too bad, stay away from him from now on," Tan Zhenghong said with disdain.
Bai Yifan appeared innocent, but he could not hide his ulterior motives.
Had it not been for Old lady Bai, Tan Zhenghong would have kicked Bai Yifan out long ago.
Qiao Duo’er pursed her lips, silently thinking how cute Tan Zhenghong’s jealous look was.
No wonder Bai Yifan and Luo Qingfeng always said he was a petty cat – indeed quite petty, but when it came to his wife, it would be a problem if he weren’t!
