Chapter 183: Chapter 185 I’m Your Man_1
"Wife, don’t be angry, I’ll go to town later to find a doctor to take a look at you," Tan Zhenghong said softly. "But we can’t rush things; if we nurse you back to health slowly, your body will surely recover."
Qiao Duo’er rolled her eyes, still in a bad mood.
"Now that you’re my wife, you’re not any kind of hero. Having me to protect you is enough."
Qiao Duo’er was covered in black lines. When had she ever been a hero?
Uh... she was a special agent!
Tan Zhenghong thought Qiao Duo’er didn’t agree, so he added, "If I can’t even protect my own wife, what kind of man am I? You see, I’ve learned martial arts, and I’ve even caught wild boars and Bear Blind Man. I absolutely won’t let anyone bully you!"
"Actually, being sick hasn’t been without its benefits. Look, the spots on your face have faded."
With that said by Tan Zhenghong, Qiao Duo’er immediately found a mirror to look at herself, and indeed, the spots on her face had faded considerably.
Without the quail-egg-like skin, her attractiveness immediately climbed a notch.
This finally gave Qiao Duo’er some comfort for her injured heart.
The body of her original self was in terrible shape; it definitely couldn’t be healed in one or two days, and dreaming of developing the physique of a special agent was even more fantastical.
It had taken her last life ten years of hard training before she started taking on missions. Expecting to achieve that overnight was just wishful thinking—her body would tell her that much.
However, once she had recovered her health, she still planned to find a way to improve her combat power.
In the future, if any Tom, Dick, or Harry came knocking on her door, she could beat them up, and just thinking about it felt exhilarating.
"I’ve set up a little nest by the stove. Want to go see it?" Tan Zhenghong smoothly changed the subject at the right time. 𝖓𝔬𝔳𝔭𝖚𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
Qiao Duo’er’s eyes lit up, and she strode out to see.
Tan Zhenghong had built a nest out of wooden planks and even made a thatched roof on top, making it look like a miniature wooden cabin, practical and pretty.
The two little ones seemed a bit shy around strangers, but Qiao Duo’er squatted down and stroked their heads.
Seemingly sensing her kindness, they even wagged their little tails.
"Wife, there’s still a bowl of porridge from this morning, should we give it to them?"
Seeing Qiao Duo’er looking delighted, the corners of Tan Zhenghong’s mouth couldn’t help but turn up.
Having two dogs to keep her company wouldn’t be bad. Then, when he went hunting in the mountains, his wife wouldn’t feel lonely at home alone.
Qiao Duo’er nodded and found a chipped plate to serve as their food bowl.
The two little ones joyfully ate together, and soon the plate was licked clean.
Qiao Duo’er poked their round bellies with a finger and said with squinted eyes, "You two greedy guts, from now on you’ll be called Fatty and Fat Fat."
The two small creatures didn’t understand human words and thought Qiao Duo was just playing with them, so they wiggled their little butts and cuddled closer to her.
One wonders how they would feel if they knew the real meaning of their names?
After playing with them for a while, Tan Zhenghong finally urged her to go back and rest.
With a smile, Hu’s Clan said, "Those two little pups have found a good home, you can rest easy now."
"Sister Duo’er is really kind!" Chao Lian nodded vigorously.
At the Tan Family, the two little ones would surely not be beaten or starve, and to the dogs, that would be a life of happiness.
"Indeed, no wonder Fourth Boss is so devoted to her."
"Seeing them together is really enviable, all smiles and so carefree."
"You’ll also come of age soon, and will be able to find a perfect mate yourself."
"Sister Lan, how can you tease me too?"
While Hu’s Clan and Chao Lian chatted and laughed, their hands didn’t slow down, and they would surely finish braising the meat by noon.
