Chapter 501: Chapter 504: How to coax a man? _1
Tan Zhenghong lazily lifted his eyes to glance at Qiao Duo’er, then continued to immerse himself in writing practice.
Qiao Duo’er was eating breakfast alone, feeling so wronged she wanted to cry.
She tore off a piece of steamed bun and fed it to Fat Fat, and seeing Fatty approaching, she alternated between feeding the two dogs.
Before long, a steamed bun had been polished off.
"You two are just heartless creatures. Can’t you see I’m in a bad mood? And still, you can eat so happily," Qiao Duo’er looked at the fluffy pair with disdain.
They say dogs understand human emotions, but why not these two? Shouldn’t they be coaxing Tan Zhenghong right now?
Fat Fat wagged its tail and rubbed against Qiao Duo’er, as if that were meant to be comforting.
Fatty pawed at Qiao Duo’er’s leg, seeming to ask for a hug.
Qiao Duo’er sighed, "What do you think I can do to make your daddy stop being angry? It’s killing me!"
Just the thought of Tan Zhenghong’s almost furrowed face drained her of all energy. n𝚘𝚟𝚙𝚞𝚋.𝚌o𝚖
Qiao Duo’er wiped her face and tidied up the bowls and chopsticks before wandering back into the room. She sauntered around Tan Zhenghong, hoping to make her presence felt.
But that guy, Tan Zhenghong, didn’t even bother to lift his head to look at her!
Qiao Duo’er felt as if there was a clot of old blood stuck in her chest. She wanted to roll on the floor in frustration but refused to let herself do something so foolish.
Throwing a tantrum and rolling around for comfort was a move reserved for Fat Fat and Fatty.
Forget it, she picked up a book and lay on the sofa to read, still occasionally glancing at Tan Zhenghong’s expressionless face.
At that moment, Qiao Duo’er regretted not watching more romance dramas in her past life. At least then she wouldn’t be so anxious.
After reading for a couple of hours, Qiao Duo’er started to feel sleepy. She tossed the book aside and closed her eyes.
Since Tan Zhenghong was ignoring her anyways, she might as well sleep!
Half-asleep, she felt someone gently covering her with a blanket.
Damn it, could he not be so kind to her?
It almost made her die of guilt!
Qiao Duo’er racked her brains for a solution, but as someone almost clueless in matters of affection, she accidentally fell asleep.
She didn’t know how long she had slept; all she knew was that the aroma of food wafted into her nostrils.
Without thinking, she knew it must be Tan Zhenghong who had secretly cooked and, due to his pride, brought the food over while she was asleep.
Mm... A man who was extremely considerate even when he was angry.
After setting down the meal, Tan Zhenghong silently walked away, aware that Qiao Duo’er had woken up.
Qiao Duo’er touched her protesting stomach and ate the meal without any pride.
She thought that her eating would ease the tension between them, but the afternoon remained the same: one practiced writing while the other read, neither disturbing the other.
This guy’s temper was too much, actually giving her the cold shoulder all day long!
Dinner was prepared by Qiao Duo’er, who deliberately cooked Tan Zhenghong’s favorite dish, stir-fried pork with spring onions.
Someone ate quietly, then turned and entered the bedroom.
Qiao Duo’er wished she could beat Tan Zhenghong up. A beating would probably end this awkwardness.
But not only did she not hit him, but she also prepared a big pot of water with medicinal herbs.
To prevent secret recipes from leaking, whether it was buying spices for braised meat or ingredients for facial masks, she had bought some foot-soaking medicinal herbs, accumulating quite a lot by now.
Soaking the feet can speed up blood circulation, and with the blood flowing faster, one’s mood can improve as well.
With a better mood, he should stop giving her the cold shoulder.
Qiao Duo’er poured the hot water, prepared the towel, and then called out, "Husband, come soak your feet."
Tan Zhenghong shook his head, "No."
Although it was a rejection, at least he spoke. Qiao Duo’er comforted herself with this thought.
