Chapter 116: Chapter 116 Two Men Fighting Over a Woman

Tang Chuxia and Gu Nanzhi pulled Dangdang behind them to protect her.

They were genuinely afraid that Hu Kai would strike out and hurt the adorable Dangdang.

Dangdang thought so too, after all, by the look on Hu Kai’s face, it seemed like he was going to tear her apart.

Just as Tang Jianjun was about to kick out, Hu Kai covered his face with his hands and squatted on the ground, crying loudly.

For a moment...

Everyone...

Rubbed their faces...

After all, seeing Hu Kai cry like a three-year-old child was a stark contrast; it was a bit hard to accept.

Hu Kai’s parents were somewhat embarrassed, but still struggled to muster a smile, "Sister-in-law, look at this mess, my Kai must really fancy Dangdang. He’s just too honest, that’s why he said things that weren’t settled yet!"

Hu Kai’s mother was painstakingly trying to mend the situation, but the elder sister-in-law interrupted her:

"Sister-in-law, don’t beg my mother-in-law for mercy. She definitely can’t decide for Dangdang. I’m Dangdang’s real elder sister. Before coming here, my mother told me to let the kids meet and see. If they liked each other, they could get engaged. If not, then forget it!"

She glanced at Dangdang peeking from behind Tang Chuxia, and seeing no signs of sadness, she realized that her little sister really hadn’t figured things out yet and didn’t have much thought about relationships between men and women.

"It’s not that our Dangdang is incapable of accommodating others, but from what I know, your place is not big. After your daughter brings her child back, Hu Kai will probably have to live with you and his wife might end up taking care of the whole family. My little sister has been pampered by our parents since she was young; she’s not used to serving others!"

Marrying into a family carries its own lifestyle burdens.

This Hu family, although they are city folks, they have too many trivial concerns.

Hu Kai’s mother still wanted to speak, but Dangdang leaned in, "Sister-in-law, my sister is right. Hu Kai is a good person, but I want to marry a man who stands tall and proud, not a crybaby!"

She had a baby face without much authority herself; marrying someone with a similarly soft character would mean future bullying would leave them both weeping.

Better forget it.

Hu Kai wiped his tears and stood up: "I don’t usually cry!"

Dangdang still shook her head: "You’re too frail!"

Hu Kai couldn’t refute, how many strong men were there in the city these days?

"Dangdang, although rough men are not like Hu Kai, he is tender!" Hu Kai’s mother was very clear about her son’s affection for Dangdang and tried hard to find reasons.

Dangdang was at a loss for words until Tang Chuxia nudged her, signaling her to look at the door.

Dangdang’s eyes lit up immediately, and she exclaimed: "Who says rough men are worse than him? Here comes one, and he’s especially caring!"

After saying this, she ran out from behind Tang Chuxia, went straight up to Wu Haipeng, who had just entered the yard looking baffled, and grabbed his arm. Wu Haipeng instinctively tried to shake her off, but Dangdang quietly sought his help:

"Brother Haipeng, help me, I’ll treat you to a meal afterwards!"

Wu Haipeng was essentially a food lover, and even though Dangdang had a baby face, she was a skilled cook.

He immediately nodded; whatever Dangdang said, he’d go along with.

"Sister-in-law, before my parents sent me and my sister to the city, they didn’t just ask me to meet Hu Kai, but also him. Isn’t he stronger than Hu Kai? Look at his affectionate eyes, aren’t they full of affection for me? He’ll definitely dote on me, right?"

Wu Haipeng: ...What?

Affectionate eyes?

Him?

Confused and wanting to verify, he felt a pinch at his waist and remembered he was supposed to play along.

"Yeah, I really fancy Dangdang!"

Wu Haipeng scratched the back of his head with a silly smile.

How silly can one be?

Only Tang Chuxia and Gu Nanzhi, who knew him well, shuddered together and then grabbed each other’s arms, fearing they couldn’t control the goosebumps that were breaking out.

With Wu Haipeng having more tricks up his sleeve than holes in a sieve and ideas more cunning than the last, who could find a fault in his scheming when he played the sentiment card?

But none of the guys hanging around with Gu Beihuai were simple, and Wu Haipeng, who could pose as anyone, truly lived up to his scout background.

Hu Kai’s face turned beet red.

"How can you do this? If you look down on me, just say it directly, why do you have to humiliate me?"

Dangdang stomped her foot, feeling a bit guilty, but Wu Haipeng spoke up, "Bro, don’t be like this. When a daughter is of marrying age, many seek her hand. What’s wrong with comparing two at the same time instead of one by one? It’s not as if they are married and in the bridal chamber. You’re just not being broad-minded enough!"

Dangdang nodded vigorously.

Right, right, right—

That’s exactly the point.

For the first time, she thought Wu Haipeng made a lot of sense.

Hu Kai pointed at Wu Haipeng, "Are you even a man? Being compared as a commodity, and you’re not angry?"

Wu Haipeng shrugged, "Why should I be angry? Either way, I’m going to win the beauty!"

Hu Kai: (╬◣д◢)

Dangdang looked at Wu Haipeng with admiration; he was really good at infuriating people.

Wu Haipeng just couldn’t resist the temptation, pinched Dangdang’s cheek, which was irresistibly soft and rosy.

Dangdang’s face turned bright red instantly, and she tried to shake off his hand and run away, but Wu Haipeng held her head down, and she couldn’t escape.

Gu Nanzhi tapped Tang Chuxia’s shoulder, "Why do I feel like pink bubbles are bursting out?"

Tang Chuxia nodded in agreement.

"You never know, maybe something good is coming?"

The two exchanged glances and snickered together.

Ignoring their little antics, when Hu Kai was about to lose his mind and pull at Dangdang, Wu Haipeng kicked him away.

"How dare you bully my wife? Get lost!"

Wu Haipeng’s face changed instantly, full of menace.

Although he usually seemed harmless and simple, he had emerged from deadly battlegrounds after all. With so many life-and-death missions under his belt over the years, his deadly aura was not something ordinary people could withstand.

Hu Kai turned pale, and his parents quickly helped him up and threw out some harsh words before running off.

The farce ended, and Dangdang peeked at the doorway to confirm they had really gone. She then let out a sigh of relief, let go of Wu Haipeng’s arm and took a few steps back, "Thanks for today!"

Wu Haipeng scratched the back of his head, "What’s there to thank? I didn’t do much!"

And he had gotten to squeeze a charming cheek, which was satisfying!

From deadly to naive, Wu Haipeng switched roles effortlessly, while Dangdang’s eyes sparkled.

She turned to her elder sister-in-law and said, "Sis, I need to talk to Brother Haipeng for a sec!" Then, pulling him outside, Wu Haipeng, confused, responded, "But I have things to do!"

Dangdang had already dragged him out, calling back from the doorway, "Let’s talk about my thing first!"

The elder sister-in-law wanted to follow, but Madam Tang stopped her, "Don’t worry, Dangdang knows what she’s doing!"

Elder sister-in-law sighed, "I’m just worried she might scare him off, Dangdang tends to get carried away!"

Tang Chuxia and Gu Nanzhi smirked as they came closer, "Elder sister-in-law, don’t worry, the worst Dangdang will do is find you a new brother-in-law, and certainly no worse than the Hu family!"

Next to them, Tang Jianjun was all smiles, "Are you two planning some sort of internal siege here?"
