My Youth Began With Him

“Oh. I’m… fine.”

“Yuning, you must return the favor. My neighbors told me these gifts cost more than 100,000 yuan. Mrs. Gao bought them from her own pocket. What a nice woman.”

Chen Yuning could no longer hear her mother’s babbling; she felt restless.

“I know, Mom.”

Tossing the words over her shoulder, she walked out of the restaurant and entered the room behind it.

“Zhu Lingling, I underestimated you and forgot that you have a powerful bestie…”

Chen Yuning had complicated feelings inside. She had investigated Zhu Lingling and thought the woman had no virtues but a pretty face and the luck to give birth to a son for the Gao Family.

Knowing Zhu Lingling was hot-tempered and not very shrewd, she had thought she could remove Zhu Lingling with a few tricks.

But to her surprise, Zhu Lingling had a helper.

“Want to play with me? Well… Bring it on…”

Chen Yuning smiled sinisterly…

That night, Gao Ran returned home at 7 PM.

Of course, he didn’t drive the BYD to the bureau, afraid his colleagues would laugh at him.

He had taken a taxi to work, and when someone asked, he had said his car was at the dealer’s for maintenance.

When he came home with fatigue, he was stunned again.

Everything was tidy and clean in the room while Zhu Lingling sat on the sofa in her black lace nightgown.

Their son was not home.

“Honey, you’re back.”

Warmly, Zhu Lingling walked up and took Gao Ran’s bag.

“Um… What demon is possessing my wife’s body? Get out now, or I’ll beat you out of her.”

“Damn it. What are you talking about?” Zhu Lingling grabbed his ear.

“Yeah, this is my wife…” Gao Ran relaxed; he had thought she was a ghost or something.

“Honey, where’s our son?”

“He’s at Mom’s home.”

“Your mom or my mom?” Gao Ran froze.

“Of course, your mom’s. He complains my mom’s place doesn’t have Wifi. You know it.”

“Haha. My son can’t live without the internet.”

“Fine. Wash your hands and have supper.”

“Supper?”

Gao Ran had thought he’d get the same treatment as last night, so he had grabbed a bite at the small deli near their home.

Hearing the supper was ready, he was surprised.

He washed his hands and walked to the dinner table; he was stunned again when he saw there were ten courses. Zhu Lingling hadn’t made such a fuss even on his birthdays.

“Honey, what special day is today?”

“It’s not a special day.”

“Impossible… Come on and tell me… You’ve been weird lately… Did you cheat on me?” Gao Ran joked.

“Yeah. I cheated on you with Old Wang living next door. Boyuan is my son with Old Wang.”

Gao Ran: “…”

“Be serious…” Gao Ran’s face turned dark.

“I told you it’s not a special day. Do you want to eat or not?” Zhu Lingling was almost at the end of her patience.

“I do. I do.”

Not daring to say that he had eaten, Gao Ran sat down and ate slowly with Zhu Lingling.

“Honey.”

“Yeah?”

“How do you like the BYD?”

“It’s… fine.”

“I did some thinking and feel that the car doesn’t fit you. After all, you’re the chief of the bureau… So, I decided to return the Land Rover to you.”

“Um…”

“Here are your credit cards and salary card… You’d be embarrassed if you need to pay for a meal when you go out with Qin Chu and find you don’t have enough money.”

“Um…”

“By the way, I bought you some new arrivals from Burberry. This cashmere coat costs 16,000 yuan. The blue color suits you; you’ll look younger in it.”

Zhu Lingling picked up a bag and showed the clothes to Gao Ran.

“Honey, can you be straight-forward with me? My heart… feels as if it is going on a roller coaster.” Gao Ran looked confused, wondering about the sudden change of his wife’s attitude.
