Chapter 870 - 603: You’re Not Getting Cold Feet and Wanting to Quit, Right? If So, It’s Just Fine to Admit Defeat

Chapter 870: Chapter 603: You’re Not Getting Cold Feet and Wanting to Quit, Right? If So, It’s Just Fine to Admit Defeat

At one point, he really had the thought of simply shirking the responsibility and letting his son order takeout to solve lunch on his own, so that he’d have time to accompany his wife and daughter to that gathering.

But as soon as this thought emerged, he sensibly dismissed it.

Firstly, if he really did that, his wife would definitely be very angry, and the family atmosphere would instantly be shrouded in tension and awkwardness.

Secondly, he knew well that doing so was inappropriate.

After all, it’s a party among the kids, and Huang Jun hadn’t explicitly invited the parents to join.

His wife had already decided to crash the party for a meal, which made him feel a bit embarrassed. If he joined too, the scene would become quite awkward, and their eating habits wouldn’t look very good.

Both emotionally and rationally, he felt he should stay at home and handle the logistics...

"Alright, alright, I get it!"

He sighed helplessly and continued, "So you’ll take Niuniu over, and I’ll stay home handling the logistics..."

Liu Jinyan gave him a "good you know what’s right" look, her lips curling into a satisfied smile: "Thanks, hubby. With you handling logistics, I’m fully reassured. Now, could I trouble you to fold these clothes?"

Before she finished speaking, she stuffed the freshly collected laundry into Wan Zhenhong’s arms.

Then, she gently took Niuniu’s little hand, speaking softly: "Niuniu, let’s go inside and discuss what kind of gifts to pick for Qingqing and Weiwei, shall we?"

"Okay!"

Niuniu blinked her big eyes, nodded joyfully, and followed her mom into the room to start their little secret plan.

...

Tonight, Wan Zhenhong’s family was not the only one troubled by this matter.

In the families of Qianqian, Tiantian, and Yuanyuan, there was also a fierce debate over the issue of "who goes to deliver".

Indeed.

The argument went on without conclusion.

In the end, the families of Qianqian and Tiantian decided through their own "authority ranking" who would take on the duty.

The result!

The two pillars of the family, like Wan Zhenhong, had to accept the outcome of being excluded, as they didn’t hold dominant positions in their households.

In Liu Yuanyuan’s family, the situation was slightly different.

Li Xiuxian and Liu Qiangtao abandoned their long-used "rock-paper-scissors" method and opted for a more direct and challenging approach—an arm-wrestling contest.

Of course, this innovative proposal was made by Liu Qiangtao.

Who could blame him when he always lost at "rock-paper-scissors"!

So he wanted to change the method, and unexpectedly, his wife agreed readily.

"Honey, just wait a moment..."

Right before the match was about to start, Li Xiuxian suddenly interrupted the upcoming atmosphere.

Liu Qiangtao teased: "Wife, are you chickening out and wanting to forfeit? If so, just admit defeat already."

Li Xiuxian smiled slightly and retorted: "Whom do you doubt? Rest assured, I might not vie for bread, but I’ll fight for dignity."

With that, she lightly entered the room, found from the secret corner of her wardrobe a "charm battle dress" she had cherished for ages, and slowly put it on.

After that, she meticulously picked a coat to wear, skillfully covering up the subtle hint of allure and style.

All done, she returned to the table, smiling, and said to Liu Qiangtao: "Honey, let’s start..."

"Alright..."

Liu Qiangtao, suspecting nothing, responded with a smile, simultaneously extending his right hand and placing it firmly on the table, his eyes full of expectation and fighting spirit.

Li Xiuxian, without hesitation, reached out her right hand, gently placing it on Liu Qiangtao’s hand, their hands tightly clasping each other.

"One, two, three!"

Liu Qiangtao whispered, blowing the horn for the contest.

As "three" was uttered, both exerted force nearly simultaneously, their arm muscles instantly tensing.

However, at this crucial moment...

Li Xiuxian suddenly made an unexpected move—she swiftly unzipped her coat, revealing the unique, eye-catching sexy lingerie underneath.

Liu Qiangtao’s pupils instantly dilated, his face showing a blend of surprise and admiration, almost causing a nosebleed the next second.

Seeing the perfect timing, Li Xiuxian took a deep breath, gathered her full strength, and suddenly exerted force, smashing Liu Qiangtao’s arm firmly onto the table with a "thump".

"Haha, I won, I won..."

Li Xiuxian cheered exuberantly, her face brimming with the joy and pride of victory.

Liu Qiangtao, with a trace of unwillingness and helplessness, said: "Doesn’t count, doesn’t count, you cheated..."

Li Xiuxian playfully blinked and smiled: "Haven’t you heard? In warfare, deceit is acceptable. A real man should honor his bets."

Liu Qiangtao: "..."

Careless!

Really careless!

I should have known that anything abnormal has to be deceptive!

Now it’s settled...

There’s nothing left but to honor the bet...

Of course.

He couldn’t just concede defeat; he had to earn some benefit back.

Hehehe~
