My Adorable Wife Drives Me Crazy

Chapter 020: The Man Who Achieves Great Things

Yu Qingwei was still thinking about the incident in the morning, feeling somewhat embarrassed in her heart. She wanted to go in and help but was afraid of displeasing the eldest sister, so she stood at the kitchen door, hesitating. Just as she was undecided whether to go in, a car noise came from the entrance; it must be Quan Zhendong arriving. She hurriedly followed Chen Lidan out to greet him. As the car door opened, a tall man got out of the car. Yu Qingwei looked up and saw him dressed in a crisp suit without a tie, the first two buttons of his white shirt casually undone. Looking further up, she saw a handsome face with a sharpness to it, and the most striking feature was his eyes—clear yet containing an unfathomable depth, revealing a gaze that seemed to look down upon the world. Yu Qingwei thought to herself that this man possessed all the qualities that a man destined for great things should have; his future was bound to be limitless. After getting out of the car, Quan Zhendong bent down to pick up a child from the vehicle. The child was probably asleep, lying motionless on him. Yu Qingwei watched, dumbfounded. Did Chen Hanxue already have a child? While she was in a daze, Chen Hanxue rushed out swiftly, pushing Yu Qingwei aside as she sprinted to Quan Zhendong, her face beaming with extreme excitement as she said, 'Zhendong, you're here?' Her loud voice made Quan Zhendong frown slightly, and the child in his arms stirred restlessly. Quan Zhendong gently patted the child's back until she fell asleep again before he slowly spoke, 'Ker is still sleeping.'

His voice was very deep, with a cold and sharp texture unique to metal, like a sudden cold wind blowing on a sunny day, catching one off guard. Chen Hanxue felt a bit embarrassed, but she still smiled happily. Quan Zhendong didn't show much expression. He handed the child to Chen Hanxue, then waved to the driver to bring all the things they brought into the living room. Passing by Chen Hanxue, he walked up to Chen Lidian, a slight smile appearing on his face: 'Dongzi is back? I've been too busy recently, and I haven't had time to get together with you.' Chen Lidian quickly said, 'It's okay, brother-in-law, we're family, no need for formalities.' Quan Zhendong grunted, his gaze then turned to Yu Qingwei standing beside Chen Lidian, and there was an almost imperceptible tenderness in his eyes: 'Is this the younger sister-in-law?' Chen Lidian put his arm around Yu Qingwei's shoulder and laughed: 'Yes, her name is Yu Qingwei.' Yu Qingwei also hurriedly squeezed out a smile: 'Hello, brother-in-law.' Quan Zhendong was about as she had imagined, tall with a resolute face, but there was always a faint sorrow between his brows, which made him look a year or two older than Chen Lidian. Quan Zhendong nodded, and waved for the driver to bring over two boxes: 'I didn't know what you liked, so I bought you an Apple computer, and the other is a game console, for you to pass the time.' Yu Qingwei smiled and accepted them: 'Thank you, brother-in-law.' Then she opened the game console and saw it was an iPad, and suddenly felt a bit overwhelmed.

I never thought that this unsmiling brother-in-law could be so trendy. A hint of jealousy flashed in Chen Hanxue's eyes. You see, Quan Zhendong had never given her anything. Once, when she pestered him to give her a pair of bracelets, he got so annoyed that he simply threw her a credit card. Chen Lidong said, 'Let's all go in, dad and mom are still waiting inside.' After the formalities, Quan Zhendong returned to his cold demeanor, and even when Chen Hanxue stuck to him proactively, he didn't show a hint of a smile. Yu Qingwei thought to herself that Chen Lidong was better; at least he looked a bit gentler and wouldn't casually release cold air. Little did she know, Chen Lidong was only gentle with her, and he was also cold towards others. Quan Zhendong entered the living room and greeted Commander Chen and Mrs. Chen proactively: 'Father-in-law, mother-in-law.' Although his attitude was respectful, his tone was incredibly distant. Commander Chen and Mrs. Chen were already used to it. After all, they had forced him to marry Chen Hanxue, and the hurdle in his heart had been there since the marriage, and he still hadn't gotten over it. 'Well, Zhendong is here, let's all take our seats,' Commander Chen said, his attitude not very enthusiastic. Some things just need to look okay on the surface. Yu Qingwei felt that the atmosphere was strange. Apart from Chen Hanxue, who had a smiling face, everyone else at the table had stern expressions, extremely serious. She silently complained to herself, was this a family gathering or... a memorial service? Halfway through the meal, Mrs. Chen spoke up. 'Snow, after you finish eating, go back with Zhendong. Look how Zhendong brought the child to pick you up, it shows he really knows he was wrong.'

You know, you should stop being petty and try to be more understanding towards Zhendong. You need to change your stubborn and willful temperament. Don't always hold onto trivial matters. Let bygones be bygones. Chen Hanxue was actually overjoyed, but she still put on airs, acting as if 'it was magnanimous of her to forgive you'. She coughed and said with her chin raised and eyes slanted: 'Then he must promise me not to do it again. All the women in his unit must be transferred away. Those who can't be transferred are not allowed to show up where he appears.' 'This...' Mrs. Chen turned her face with some concern, looking at Quan Zhendong.
