I keep scrolling through Douyin's treasure chests; they're showing me their loyalty.

Chapter 117 The Charming Wife

Dai Shuai Mao didn't sleep all night.

After receiving a message from Qian Baobao in the middle of the night, I had no idea where to look for her, so I went back to my rented apartment from the bar.

But I couldn't sleep at all after I got home.

He was actually quite satisfied with Qian Baobao. After they got married, she would listen to his arrangements in everything, big or small. Although she would occasionally complain, he could usually get things sorted out by coaxing her.

These days, what girl doesn't have a temper?

Too many women treat their small family as a mere stopover in life, focusing only on themselves; some even transfer all of their small family's funds to their mother's family.

At least, Qianbaobao isn't like that.

Besides, she's very beautiful. Although it's a bit annoying that she doesn't usually let me touch her, such a beautiful woman is willing to follow me. What more could I ask for? It would be so prestigious to take her out.

Every time his colleagues had a get-together, he would bring Qianbaobao (a brand of instant noodles). Seeing the envious and jealous looks in his colleagues' eyes, his vanity was incredibly strong!

In today's society, to find such a beautiful woman willing to endure hardship with someone is like finding a treasure.

Some people privately told him: "You have to keep a close eye on such a beautiful wife, otherwise, with your abilities, you'll probably have a hard time keeping her."

He has also seen far too many negative messages online.

So after they got married, he strongly insisted that Qian Baobao stop working as a sales clerk, a job with a very high risk rate, and Qian Baobao agreed to his request.

At that time, Qian Baobao still felt that since they were married, she should give her partner a guarantee and reassurance.

But time is the most agonizing thing.

After marriage, Dai Lumao's possessiveness grew stronger and stronger, and he eventually stopped Qian Baobao from going out to work!

Qian Baobao was happy to be carefree, but gradually, this idle life and lack of social interaction made her very dissatisfied.

Despite repeated requests to go out to work, Dai Shuai Mao refused.

She gradually realized the profound meaning of the saying: "Today we lose five cities, tomorrow we lose ten, and then we can have a peaceful night's sleep. When we rise and look around, the Qin army is already at our doorstep."

Dai Lumou was proud of his "taking an inch and wanting a mile" approach, feeling that he had completely taken control of the beautiful woman's life.

But his absence last night made him realize that something was wrong!

Could it be that I pushed her too hard, and that's why she's starting to rebel in this way?

Dai Shuaimao squatted by the flower bed in the community, smoking one cigarette after another, his eyes bloodshot as he pondered a solution.

Perhaps it's related to meeting Liao Yuqian yesterday afternoon, and that Luman G-Class.

Seeing Liao Yuqian's different life and the luxury car within reach, Qian Baobao finally couldn't hold back any longer.

She used to work as a sales clerk!

The people and circles I come into contact with are all elites who can afford to consume luxury goods.

A bird that has been flying in the sky for too long and has grown too proud can hardly be tied down by the cage of marriage.

Unless it's a golden cage.

The cigarette butts scattered on the ground, combined with his bloodshot eyes, made Dai Lumao look extremely haggard.

He would call Qian Baobao every now and then, and if he couldn't get through, he would send a message.

He tried sending messages to her through WeChat, Weibo, Douyin, QQ—anywhere he could contact her—but a whole night has passed, and it's almost noon now, and there's still no word from her.

If they didn't reply until morning, that would be somewhat understandable.

I forgot to charge my phone when I went to the hotel to rest.

But it's already midday, she can't just stay off her phone forever, can she?

With no cash on him and his phone dead, he was trapped in this city.

A bad feeling gradually crept into Dai Lumao's heart. The face of the man who drove the Luman G-Class yesterday, greeting him and Qian Baobao, kept flashing through his mind.

He's Liao Yuqian's friend; the baby said he's with Liao Yuqian...

That evening, he said he went to a hotel with other friends.

Could the friend in this hotel be him?

……

Riverside Garden.

Qian Baobao, who was having dinner with Ning Xiuyang, couldn't help but have a slight change in expression when she saw the barrage of messages on her phone.

"Baby, where did you go?"

"Baby, it wasn't easy for us to get together, and I've always worked hard for our family. If you have any unhappiness that you want to vent, just tell me, and we'll figure out a way to deal with it together!"

"Baby, are you still asleep?"

"Baby, I love you..."

"..."

Looking at the different messages at different times, Qian Baobao frowned slightly, her eyes showing disgust, but more than that, she was uneasy and didn't know how to reply.

In particular, last night in front of Shen Yourong, she made a promise to Ning Xiuyang that only Mr. Ning would touch her.

This made her even more unsure how to face Dai Lumao.

"What's wrong?"

Noticing Qian Baobao's expression, Ning Xiuyang couldn't help but ask with a smile.

Qian Baobao pursed her lips, finding it difficult to speak, and looked at him timidly.

Ning Xiuyang smiled and immediately understood her situation. He then smiled and said to Shen Yourong, "You can take her home later."

Shen Yourong paused for a moment, then nodded with a light laugh, her eyes filled with a strange expression, and said, "Yes, sir~"

The three continued eating in silence.

Qian Baobao was filled with mixed emotions, and even the big meal tasted bland to her.

After finishing his meal, Ning Xiuyang, brimming with pride and thinking about the newly acquired Guizhi Commercial Center, pulled Shen Yourong and Qian Baobao to the floor-to-ceiling window to admire the beautiful view outside.

Meanwhile, Dai Lumao, after finishing a cigarette...

I casually opened a location sharing app.

When he discovered that Qianbaobao, which had disappeared overnight, had reappeared in the software's location, his eyes lit up.

"Riverside Garden?"

He muttered something to himself, and Dai Shuaimao became even more nervous. He immediately made a video call to Qian Baobao.

Since the location has been established, the phone must be powered on.

But after waiting for a long time, the other end of the line did not answer the phone.

"Unable to connect temporarily, please try again later..."

Upon seeing the notification message displayed on his phone screen, Dai Lumao frowned and, refusing to believe it, dialed a second time.

This time, just as the call was about to automatically disconnect, it finally connected.

However, it wasn't a video call; Qianbaobao converted it into a voice message.

"Hey baby, where are you?"

"Why is it just voice chat? Turn on the video! Do you know how worried I was about you all night?"

"Baby, why aren't you saying anything?"

Staring at his phone with the speaker on, Dai Lumao looked tense and bombarded him with questions.

"I'm at my best friend's house. Uh... it's not convenient for her to video chat at home."

Finally, Qian Baobao's voice came through the phone.

But this sound...

Dai Lumao frowned slightly. Why did he sound so weak and breathless, as if he was still panting?

Having been married for so long, he had never truly witnessed Qian Baobao's alluring side, and naturally had no idea what Qian Baobao's state was like in this situation.

But as a man, I still have some feelings about my woman's behavior.

His heart skipped a beat, and he asked nervously, "What...what are you doing?"
