Chapter 388: Chapters 390-391 Is the Battle Intense?_1
Thankfully, Aunt Huang invited them to come over for dinner the next day, since it was Aunt Huang’s birthday.
Actually, it had been three days since Qiao Duo’er had gone back to her maiden home, and she was worried the child would feel uneasy.
After taking a bath in the evening, Qiao Duo’er sat in front of the mirror to comb her hair, when she suddenly discovered she was sporting two dark circles and her complexion was a bit yellow.
This... this was a sign of indulging in excess!
It’s only the fourth day since the wedding, and she already looked like this, how was she supposed to face people tomorrow?
Oh my God, she could almost picture the mockery from Big Sister and the others.
Qiao Duo’er bit her teeth, instantly deciding that if someone was up to mischief tonight, she’d knock him out cold to see what he’d do then!
Tan Zhenghong also knew he had gone too far, so he behaved himself that night and just held his wife to sleep.
Even though she went to bed early, the dark circles didn’t completely fade by the next day, and Qiao Duo’er had no choice but to dab on some powder to cover them up.
Ah, she felt like killing someone!
When Qiao Duo’er and Tan Zhenghong arrived at the Huang Family’s place, Erhu, Chao Lian, Big Sister, and Ruo Ruo were there, as well as Chen Yiling.
Seeing the couple holding hands as they made their entrance, everyone became unsettled. 𝒏𝒐𝒗𝒑𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Sun Erhu teased, "Brother Hong, haven’t seen you around these past couple of days."
Thinking about the last three days without stepping foot outside, he felt an urge to nosebleed.
Ahem, it seemed the battle had been fierce these past few days.
Tan Zhenghong glared at Sun Erhu, "If you don’t speak, no one will take you for a mute."
Not only was Sun Erhu not annoyed, but he also laughed heartily; his Brother Hong was always so serious and rarely showed shyness. How could he let this chance slip by easily?
Big Sister quickly made room to sit, "Sister Duo’er, come and sit down. You must be exhausted these past days?"
"Brother Hong, you really love your sister-in-law too much, huh? Take it easy."
Qiao Duo’er felt helpless and could only pick up a cup from the table to start drinking water, while also sneakily glaring at Tan Zhenghong.
It was all this guy’s fault, acting like he’d never seen a woman before!
Tan Zhenghong coughed uncomfortably a couple of times, his ears turning red.
Moreover, Sun Erhu had confirmed something: before their marriage, the two were undoubtedly pure, but now that they were married, his Brother Hong was showing his mighty prowess.
"Stop teasing the two, or be careful they’ll take their revenge when you get married."
Aunt Huang came to the rescue, also bringing out freshly washed fruit.
Sure enough, upon these words, everyone besides Chen Yiling instantly calmed down.
They were still single, and one day they would surely marry. Qiao Duo’er was one to hold grudges and had numerous tricks up her sleeve, so they really had to be careful.
Chen Yiling found a kindred spirit and felt inclined to empathize rather than tease them.
Because making fun of Qiao Duo’er was nearly the same as making fun of herself.
"You guys snack on some pastries and fruit first. Just don’t eat too much, because we’ll be having a meal soon," Aunt Huang advised.
Sun Erhu stuck out his tongue at Tan Zhenghong, "Brother Hong, sister-in-law, I was just joking earlier."
Tan Zhenghong gave him a knowing look.
When the time came for Sun Erhu to get married, he only wanted to say two words to him: hold on, because his wife-to-be was no ordinary woman.
Sun Erhu grimaced; why couldn’t he keep his mouth shut?
As mealtime approached, Huang Zhong returned with his wife and kids.
Huang Zhong and his wife from the Bao family had two sons, nicknamed Big Dog and Second Dog.
Both kids were healthy and boisterous and not the least bit shy. After Aunt Huang introduced them to everyone, they were soon playing merrily with the crowd.
