Fu Mingxue hadn’t expected Qin Wenhao to be so good at making zhajiangmian.

She couldn’t help but give him a thumbs-up in praise. "This is really good! Delicious!"

Qin Wenhao was thrilled.

"If you like it, have some more. The next time you’re craving it, I’ll make it for you again."

"Alright!"

The couple finished their zhajiangmian.

Qin Wenhao rose to clear the dishes.

Once he finished washing up, he said to Fu Mingxue, "Honey, I’m heading out for a bit. You can take a nap."

"Sure, you go ahead. Don’t worry about me."

Fu Mingxue hadn’t been expecting Qin Wenhao to stay home and keep her company all day.

Qin Wenhao walked out. He didn’t go far—just straight to the apartment across from theirs.

When Sister in law Liu saw Qin Wenhao walk right in, the color instantly drained from her face.

"Qin... Qin Tuan, what brings you here?" she stammered.

Her expression was wrought with guilt, and she didn’t dare to meet his gaze.

Her husband, Vice Commander Liu, was taking a nap inside. Hearing his wife call out for Qin Tuan, he immediately got up and came out.

He was quite surprised; after all, Qin Tuan rarely visited their home.

"Qin Tuan, what brings you here? Is something wrong?"

Qin Wenhao ignored Sister in law Liu, his gaze fixed on Liu Gui, radiating unconcealed murderous intent.

"Liu Gui, you’d better keep your wife’s mouth in check. Whether or not my wife has children is none of her business. What gives her the right to spread rumors about it all day long?"

With that, he turned and strode out, not bothering to see how the couple would react.

Vice Commander Liu’s expression instantly soured.

He glared at his wife. "What did you do now? What did Qin Tuan mean by that?"

Sister in law Liu was frantic. "I... I didn’t say anything..."

Her words only made Liu Gui angrier.

His voice rose. "If you didn’t say anything, why would he come all the way to our door to call you out?"

"Did you go around the family compound telling people that Qin Tuan’s wife can’t have children?"

Sister in law Liu’s face paled. "I... I only mentioned it once. Besides, I’m not wrong. She really can’t have kids. Are people not allowed to state the facts now?"

Liu Gui’s face went livid.

"Are you out of your mind? It’s not that she can’t have children; she’s devoted to her work! What would an illiterate person like you know about that?"

"Do you think all a woman is good for is having children? Don’t be so shortsighted! Some women contribute far more than men do."

"Besides, what business is it of yours whether they have children or not? What gives you the right to run your mouth about it?"

"Great. Now you’ve really gone and offended them for good. How am I supposed to face them in the future?"

"And another thing, do you really think Qin Tuan is just going to let this go?"

Sister in law Liu hadn’t really been listening to her husband’s tirade, but his last sentence made her face change completely.

"I... I only said one thing! Why is he making such a big deal about it? Fine! If it’s that important, I’ll apologize to Fu Mingxue."

Inwardly, she seethed with hatred for Wang Xiang.

She was convinced it was Wang Xiang who had snitched. ’That woman is such a vile, shameless snake!’

Seeing that she was still completely unrepentant, Liu Gui’s expression remained grim.

He didn’t bother arguing with her further and walked straight out the door.

By the time he returned from a walk around the compound, he had a good grasp of what had happened that day.

Sister in law Liu, who was already on edge, grew even more anxious when she saw her husband return with a thunderous expression.

"You’re coming with me to Qin Tuan’s place right now to apologize to Comrade Fu."
