Chapter 197: Is your husband not worth your sacrifice?
Feeling helpless, Di Mingjue strode over and pulled her into his arms, "Silly girl, what are you thinking about?"
"I’m not thinking about anything." Gu Qibao retorted, hitting him, "Don’t hold me. I don’t want you to! What are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be with Di Xiaxia, why come to me?"
"You silly thing, you’re my wife." Mingjue was displeased as he pinched her face, "If you talk nonsense again, believe it or not, I’ll spank you."
"I’m not talking nonsense." Qibao glared at him, "I’m telling the truth! You don’t help me when she bullies me, you even instructed me to get water for you in front of her. Shouldn’t you be getting water for me in her presence?"
What she said was the truth. Mingjue asked her to fetch water. How would Xiaxia feel? Would she feel triumphant, thinking Mingjue was treating her like a servant?
Qibao felt angrier when she thought of this and pushed him away forcefully, "Get lost, I don’t need your pretentious act here!"
"Are you jealous?" Mingjue raised an eyebrow, teasingly looking at her, his heart filled with joy.
Qibao was furious, "Yes, I am jealous! I am very jealous, and I give all your actions just now a zero! You’re completely unqualified!"
Mingjue, who was still delighted earlier, suddenly became cold and asked, "So, just because of this, you think your husband isn’t up to the mark?"
"Yes!" Qibao pushed him away, "Regardless, you’re just not qualified!"
Mingjue was suddenly furious as well, just because of this trivial matter she thought he wasn’t up to the mark? Did she just dismiss him completely?
"Then are you qualified?" Mingjue retorted, "When your husband asks you to get him a glass of water, shouldn’t you get it for him?"
"Why should I get it for you!" Qibao got angrier, "I refuse to get it for you!"
Hearing Qibao’s words, Mingjue’s face wore a cold expression, "Baby, you’re just being unreasonable!"
Could she just not be nice to him?
Although Xiaxia is his adopted daughter and he doesn’t like her, they’ve lived together for twenty years. Xiaxia has indeed liked him for twenty years, something well-known in the Di family.
He knew that he has a clear conscience regarding his relationship with Xiaxia.
Furthermore, even though Xiaxia likes him, she has done nothing excessive.
Even today, although Xiaxia intentionally made things difficult for Qibao, it is understandable.
According to Qibao’s theory, she can’t suffer even the slightest embarrassment. Not even for him? Not even a tiny bit?
Even though he doesn’t like Xiaxia, he is aware that liking someone, to have liked someone for twenty years is not easy.
Qibao married him, can’t she show a bit of magnanimity?
If Xiaxia was giving her a hard time, she could always come to him, be close to him!
Is it so difficult to take the initiative to be close to him, to act coy? As his wife, she should act like one. When he asked her to fetch water for him, what he actually wanted to express was that only she was qualified to do so. Little did he expect her to throw a tantrum at him.
He indulged her and didn’t really argue with her, instead, he was happy that she could bravely shout at him. But then...
Seeing Mingjue’s face turn cold, Qibao’s heart ached inexplicably, and she shouted in rage, "Fine, I am unreasonable!"
"You..." This was the first time Gu Qibao had left Mingjue speechless.
"Alright, stop making a fuss. I don’t like her, she’s just a sister to me. Come here." Mingjue, suppressing his anger, extended his hand towards Gu Qibao.
"No!" Qibao turned her head away stubbornly, sniffed and said, "This is not about liking or disliking, it’s about attitude. Di Mingjue, your attitude is the problem!"
Mingjue was confused, how was his attitude a problem?
Looking at her stubborn childishness, Mingjue felt a bit sad. He suddenly asked her in a hoarse voice, "Baby, do you think I’m not worth your efforts?"
