My Wife Longs for Divorce Every Day

Chapter 728: 728, the dog returns to its original owner

It was only six in the evening, the sky still bright, but colorful lanterns had already been erected on the lawn. A long table covered with a clean white tablecloth had been set, topped with various types of alcohol and beverages. Beside it was an entire row of self-service barbecue grills, with servants continually shuttling back and forth carrying plates.

The scene seemed less like an outdoor barbecue and more like the set-up for a formal dinner party.

The back car door opened.

“Woof!”

KO had eagerly jumped out of the car.

Its agile figure was running wildly on the green grass. However…

“Holy shit!”

Nangong Ci looked at KO, his peach blossom eyes widening in surprise, “Who the hell dressed up KO like this?”

KO’s head was adorned with a red fisherman’s hat, its brim properly fastened under his chin so he couldn’t shake it off, and he was wearing a pink vest.

The originally majestic German Shepherd suddenly looked somewhat effeminate.

“Big brother, when did your taste turn so poor?” Nangong Ci said, taking a sip of red wine, “Why have you dressed KO up like a love-struck little female dog?”

“Your sister-in-law did it,” Huo Jingshen said indifferently.

“Pfft!” Nangong Ci almost spat out his red wine.

Ming Jing was still asking, “My sister-in-law? I thought she was afraid of dogs?”

“Not anymore.”

The two looked over.

Indeed, KO had run a lap and returned to Su Wanwan’s side again, circling around her legs, while Su Wanwan was taking photographs of him with her mobile phone. The two seemed to be getting along quite well.

“Fantastic!” Nangong Ci snapped his fingers, “Finally, I don’t have to serve your dog anymore!”

“Me neither,” Ming Jing shared his sentiment.

The dog was as difficult as its owner, haughty and hard to cater to. It insisted on eating only the freshest meat and bones every meal, hated staying indoors, and always caused trouble when they went out. If it wasn’t scaring children to tears, it would be unable to move after spotting beautiful women, and even hooted and chased after pretty dogs. It was practically the Wei Xiaobao of the pet world.

Now, the dog could finally be returned to its rightful owner.

“Who else is coming?” Huo Jingshen asked.

Besides the servants, the two of them were the only ones there, dressed casually, holding wine glasses, and exuding the aura of single men.

“They should be here soon. Second brother is helping his wife and niece put on clothes,” Nangong Ci finished speaking. Seeing Su Wanwan coming, he eagerly tried to curry favor, “Sister-in-law, what would you like to eat? I can grill something for you.”

“Sure,” Su Wanwan grinned, “I’m not picky, anything is fine.”

“Alright!” Nangong Ci put down his wine glass and went to work.

With the servants’ help, the charcoal was quickly lit. Nangong Ci stood behind the grill, fanning it with a small handheld fan and holding skewers, squinting his peach blossom eyes, starting to grill in earnest.

Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow.

Ming Jing had utter disdain for such a bootlicking behavior, “Big brother, doesn’t third brother tightly grilling these skewers make him look like one of those guys applying screen protectors on Sky Bridge?”

“Pfft!” Su Wanwan couldn’t hold back her giggles.

…

Soon, two more luxury cars drove in one after another.

The first was a black Cayenne. As soon as the car stopped, Gu Haohao, dressed in a middle school uniform, jumped out of the passenger seat and came running.

“Sister Wanwan! Sister Wanwan…”

Su Wanwan quickly looked over.

“Run slower,” Gu Huai’an reminded her from behind.

Gu Haohao didn’t listen at all, panting as she ran up. She was just about to speak when suddenly a dark figure leapt out from the side.

“Roar!”

The little girl was immediately scared out of her wits, “Ahhhhhhhhh…”

She turned around and immediately threw herself at Gu Huai’an who was walking towards her, climbing onto him with her hands and feet.

Because she was short and terrified, her little leather shoes, which had just crossed the lawn, left several footprints on Gu Huai’an’s immaculate black suit.

Su Wanwan was dumbfounded, “I didn’t know Haohao was so afraid of dogs?”

“Mmm,” Huo Jingshen murmured, “That’s what you used to be like.”

Su Wanwan: “…”

Did she used to disgrace herself by climbing all over him like this?

No way!

Su Wanwan refused to admit this.

While KO was still howling on the side, Gu Huai’an decided to carry the crying child to the other side to comfort her. On the way, he bumped into Xiao Yebai and Mo Weiyi, who were walking over.

“Mr. Xiao.”

Gu Huai’an finished greeting everyone before turning to Mo Weiyi, “Mrs. Xiao.”

Out of everyone present today, Gu Huai’an and Xiao Yebai are the most familiar.

In the business world, public opinions of the so-called President of the Mo Group are mixed. Most people flatter him superficially, but deep down, they look down on him.

However, after several collaborations between Huanyu Media and Mo Group, his opinion of Xiao Yebai changed.

When conducting business, this man is modest and courteous. Despite not being nearsighted, he enjoys wearing a pair of scholarly glasses, concealing his cold and arrogant nature.

Hidden but not exposed.

He’s a typical double-faced individual.

Compared to him, Gu Huai’an prides himself on being smooth and worldly. As he exists in the complex media industry, the Gu family is more intricate than the Mo’s. Thus, he is willing to befriend him, reducing his future enemies.

Xiao Yebai slightly nodded, “Mr. Gu.”

Mo Weiyi, on her husband’s arm, wore an off-shoulder long-sleeved dress. The provocative color of her dress matched her bright smile.

This was the first time Xiaobai and she attended a friends’ gathering!

Initially, she was worried that he wouldn’t want to come, even preparing herself to cry, make a scene, or commit suicide. She was surprised when Xiao Yebai agreed readily, especially when Gu Huai’an called her “Mrs. Xiao”…

That made her happier than being called “Little Princess”.

Perhaps she laughed a little too brightly that an earlier tearful Gu Haohao suddenly blurted out, “Sister, you’re so pretty!”

Mo Weiyi felt her heart blossom, and reciprocated the compliment, “You’re Haohao, right? You’re very pretty too!”

Gu Haohao, while encircling Gu Huai’an’s neck, immediately broke into a smile from her earlier tears.

While they were exchanging pleasantries, a seemingly indifferent voice of Chu Xiuhuang rang out, “Oh, everyone is here.”

One of his hands comfortably held the five-year-old Little Luoluo, while the other held Shi Huan’s hand.

The trio chose matching casual, vacation-style clothes. At a glance, their coordinated family attire was visually pleasing, except… trailing behind them was an annoying light bulb wearing glasses, dressed in a full suit and unexpectedly cradling a soft toy cat with a pink polka dot bow tie.

Nangong Ci quickly stepped forward to pull Lu Chenyu, “Hey, what are you doing?”

This insensitive fool!

No sooner had he arrived than he went to find Chu Xiuhuang. Regardless of their unresolved love, they can’t be so oblivious to the time and place!

Lu Chenyu adjusted his glasses, “Why didn’t you tell me Little Princess was coming too?”

Not only was she here, but she brought her husband too.

Ha-ha.

Are they going to start a fight?

This Xiao Yebai, who appears refined and gentle, pretentiously wears glasses. However, he—as a top lawyer—is not for nothing!

He has long trained his piercing gaze!

At a glance, he knows this man is not as docile as he appears. He’s a trained fighter, a tough character!

Will he sail through tonight safely?

Nangong Ci burst into laughter, “Little Princess has made you her mentor, isn’t she? Why are you, her mentor, afraid of seeing your student?”

Lu Chenyu: “…”

You must be afraid I’ll haunt you!

It’s clear that he’s frustrated, repelled, and resigned, alright!

After coughing twice, he silently found a seat with the plush cat.

As for Chu Xiuhuang.

The man who previously always projected a casual demeanor seems mellower, possibly because of his soon-to-be-marriage or his new darling daughter.

After helping Little Luoluo find a seat, he announced, “You can get the maids to grill, or you can do it yourself. I won’t host you tonight, the main purpose is to celebrate my fiancee’s successful discharge from the hospital and to assemble everyone.”

After finishing, he particularly glanced at Mo Weiyi, “Little Princess, please take care of your husband, Mr. Xiao.”

However, Mo Weiyi winked at Shi Huan, “Huanhuan, you’re really going to cohabit before marriage?”

Shi Huan seemed a bit embarrassed, “I…”

“We’re getting our license tomorrow!” Chu Xiuhuang interrupted, “Certified to start work! Legal cohabitation!”

You say!

Speak!

Continue speaking!

Under his intimidating gaze, Weiyi shrugged, “That’s fine then.”

…

With two kids, two pets, and naturally lively personalities like Nangong and Chu Xiuhuang, tonight’s barbecue didn’t turn out awkward as Su Wanwan had imagined.

The night gradually set in, the lights took effect, casting a colorful glow on the green grass. Reflecting under the night stars, it emanated an inexplicable sense of romance and comfort.

The air was filled with the aroma of various meats and the “sizzling” sound of the barbecue grill, mixed with the fragrance of wine, carrying laughter and talking that passed through the slightly cooled evening breeze.

It was divided into two areas.

On one side, Huo Jingshen quietly flipped the steak on the grill, judging the heat perfectly. When it was about right, he took the steak and put it on a chopping board nearby, quickly cutting it into small edible pieces, sprinkled some seasonings, put it on a dish, and served it on the table next to him.

Su Wanwan immediately reached out with her chopsticks and picked up a piece.

“Be careful not to burn yourself.”

“Mm,” Su Wanwan obediently blew on it before putting it into her mouth.

Gu Haohao followed suit, picking up a piece of meat, cooling it down, and then popping it into her mouth.

“How does it taste?” Huo Jingshen asked.

“Delicious!” Su Wanwan squinted her eyes, marveling at her husband’s magical culinary skills.

So it turns out that barbecue can also make such delicious steak!

Gu Haohao also chimed in, “Delicious!”

Huo Jingshen glanced at her.

Then he looked at Gu Huai’an.

Gu Huai’an pretended not to understand, “Haohao, feed me a piece.”

Gu Haohao immediately picked up a piece of meat with her chopsticks, blew on it earnestly a couple of times, and then put it into his mouth, before tilting her small face and innocently asking, “Big brother, is it delicious?”

Gu Huai’an chewed slowly, “Mm, not as good as mine.”

Huo Jingshen took the dish back immediately, “Do it yourself.”

Gu Huai’an clicked his tongue, “Can you stop being so petty? Is it wrong even to eat a few pieces of meat?”

Besides, these meats were provided by the host.

…

As the host, Chu Xiuhuang was somewhat frustrated because there were people all around him.

Nangong Ci, Ming Jing, Lu Chenyu were all seated across the dining table, even Mo Weiyi and Xiao Yebai were also there.

He couldn’t even get a moment to cuddle with his wife.

Watching his wife, who was passionately chatting with Mo Weiyi, Chu Xiuhuang silently flexed his fingers.

He was waiting.

When everyone leaves, he was definitely hit a home run tonight!

…

Shi Huan was unaware of what Chu Xiuhuang was thinking, she was looking at Mo Weiyi’s left foot.

She hadn’t noticed before, but now as he sat, she could see the plaster on his ankle.

“Weiyi, is your foot okay?” she asked.

“It’s not in pain anymore, I should be able to go to work tomorrow.”

Shi Huan nodded, “You can keep a pair of comfortable slippers in the office. Standing for several hours a day can be unbearable.”

“Really?” Mo Weiyi was surprised, “But my master said I must wear high heels.”

Lu Chenyu across the table: “…”

Even drinking his liquor quietly, he gets called out?

“That should be fine.” Shi Huan glanced at Lu Chenyu, “You usually work at a law firm and don’t have to meet any clients.”

“Master, is that okay?” Mo Weiyi asked directly.

Lu Chenyu chose not to speak.

“Master?” Mo Weiyi asked again.

Lu Chenyu decided to stand up and leave, “I’m going to barbecue.”

The skewers on the table were almost eaten.

Mo Weiyi’s eyes brightened, “I want to eat chicken wings. Master, can you help me roast a few more?”

With a dark face, Lu Chenyu left.

Pretending not to hear.

Mo Weiyi, laughing, leaned onto Xiao Yebai.

Bringing Xiaobai along was indeed useful. Her husband looked so stone cold, scared her into silence, hahaha.

…

Compared to the other men who frequently party together, Xiao Yebai was noticeably quieter, giving off a “everyone drunk but I’m sober” vibe.

A servant occasionally came by with freshly grilled food. Whenever someone came over with a toast, Xiao Yebai would pick up his wine glass and clink it with them.

They continued to eat, drink, play, and make a noise until Lu Chenyu returned with the food he had barbecued.

“Holy shit, fourth bro, why did you only barbecue vegetables?” Nangong Ci couldn’t help but complain.@@novelbin@@

If it wasn’t golden mushrooms, it was king oyster mushrooms. Did he have a thing about fungus?

Mo Weiyi also protested, “Master, where are my chicken wings?”

“None.” Lu Chenyu picked up a squid skewer, “Do you want this?”

“Pfft!” Chu Xiuhuang burst out laughing.

Squid?

Is he trying to say he wants to fire the Little Princess?

The others didn’t know why.

Mo Weiyi was quite frustrated.

She didn’t like squid.

However, since her master rarely cooked for her, and with so many people around, she decided to let it pass just to save his face.

She extended her hand and accepted the large skewer of barbecued squid.

It really was a huge skewer!

She didn’t even know where to start eating.

Mo Weiyi set the squid on her plate, turning to Xiao Yebai, “Xiaobai, can you help me eat half of it?”

Xiao Yebai reached over and took her plate, using a knife and fork to cut it into small pieces.

This Lu Chenyu’s cooking skills really weren’t up to much.

Most of it had burnt to a crisp and only a small part was edible.

He deftly prepared the edible squid and then forked a piece.

Mo Weiyi moved her mouth to meet the fork.

With a bite, she leaned back against the man, lifting her little face and slowly chewed.

Xiao Yebai forked another piece to her mouth, and she opened her mouth to eat again.

The three single guys across the table: “…”

Contrasting with Shi Huan’s conservative style as she had yet to marry, and Su Wenwen’s restraint in public, Mo Weiyi, who had been married for more than two years, really didn’t care about time or place when she served up her ‘dog food’.

And here we go again.

“Xiaobai.” Mo Weiyi looked at the red wine on the table and coquettishly whined, “Can I have a little red wine? Just a little!”

He had been giving her fruit juice this whole time!

And it was the same fruit juice that Little Luoluo was drinking!

Even Su Wenwen was drinking red wine!

“You’ll be drunk if you have a bit more.” Xiao Yebai coolly replied, “And don’t you have work tomorrow?”

Mo Weiyi glanced at Lu Chenyu across the table.

Alright.

She’d have to tolerate it.

…

After more than two hours of barbecuing, everyone was basically well-fed and merry.

As tomorrow was Thursday and the children had school while the grown-ups had to work, Gu Huai’an took Gu Haohao home early.

Little Luoluo was also taken back for rest by a maid.

Another hour went by, Huo Jingshen took a look at the time, “Shall we go home?”

Su Wanwan had eaten quite a lot tonight and drunk a fair amount, but given her high alcohol capacity, her cheeks were just slightly flushed and she was still clear-headed at this moment.

She was half-closing her eyes against the back of the chair, “Let’s play some more.”

It was a rare occasion for so many friends to have an outdoor barbecue together. The night breeze was slight, the night scenery beautiful, and the ambiance was just perfect.

Then the ringing of a phone broke the silence.

Huo Jingshen picked up the phone on the table. Upon seeing the name on the screen, he raised an eyebrow and handed the phone to Su Wanwan.

Su Wanwan instantly furrowed her eyebrows, but picked up the call anyway.

“Hello?”

“Wanwan, I’m so sorry for bothering you this late, but I really don’t have a choice. Zhexi won’t let me tell Boss Huo, and I can’t find anyone else who might be able to help…”

“What happened?”

Bai Ruwei burst into tears, “Zhexi got into a fight and we’re at the police station now. The other person isn’t backing down, I really don’t know what to do, Wanwan, can you and Boss Huo come over?”
