Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 1111: Chapter 1123: Playing Dumb While Knowing the Truth

Sun Lufang paused slightly while opening the soy sauce bottle and asked, feigning calmness, ”What do you mean?”

”What do I mean? This morning there was such a commotion at the small store, and you claim you don’t know? Stop pretending to be clueless here.” Li Dajun knew Sun Lufang liked to go to the small store to chat with the sisters-in-law. Most of the Guard Team’s family members stayed home with nothing to do, and he never cared about that. But he never expected Sun Lufang was gossiping with those sisters-in-law.

”Oh, you’re talking about Liu Hu and Captain Jia’s fight? I know about that. I was there with Sister-in-law Qian sorting the vegetables. To be honest, Liu Hu is extremely rash. This is the Guard Team. Even if his issue was exposed by Captain Jia, he shouldn’t have started a fight within the Guard Team. You didn’t see it, Liu Hu was really fierce. Captain Jia, a veteran for so many years, didn’t fare well under his hands...”

”Sun Lufang, stop playing dumb with me,” Li Dajun interrupted Sun Lufang, angrily snatching the soy sauce bottle from her hands and smashing it onto the floor with a loud bang.

The soy sauce bottle instantly shattered into pieces, the reddish-brown soy sauce spilling onto the floor, splashing on the pure white kitchen cabinets, tiles, and large swathes of it trickling outward.

”What the heck is wrong with you, Li Dajun? Their fight has nothing to do with me. Why are you taking your anger out on me?” Sun Lufang, seeing the soy sauce mess all over the floor, got irritated.

Li Dajun was strict with his team members outside, but at home, he was always a peacemaker with Sun Lufang, especially after the last incident, being completely compliant and never losing his temper with her.

”Are you really unclear about why I’m angry with you? You know better than anyone why Liu Hu fought with Jia Chenggang. Let me ask you, did these rumors originate from you or not?” Li Dajun’s temples were pulsating with anger, his face burning like fire at the thought of the words he just overheard outside.

Feeling chilled by the stare from Li Dajun, Sun Lufang pushed him aside and exited the kitchen. ”Which damned person did you hear that from? I was there when they were talking this morning, but all the sisters-in-law were saying the same thing in the courtyard. Why is it my words that are considered malicious? And if they say it’s me, you immediately believe them? Are they your wife, or am I your wife?”

Seeing Sun Lufang refuse to admit it, Li Dajun stepped forward, grabbed her wrist, and led her to the balcony, pointing at the building opposite, ”Let me ask you, you don’t do housework all day and night, why are you constantly watching the building opposite? Sun Lufang, let me tell you, it wasn’t just anyone who told me this. I overheard it when Liu Hu was investigating with Mu Xingfeng’s trusted aides. One person’s accusation could be slander, but how do you explain all the sisters-in-law saying they heard it from you? Others might not know you, but as your husband, I know you well enough. Why are you defaming An like this? Do you realize how important a woman’s reputation is? You’re damaging hers, how will she ever establish herself in this Guard Team compound? Sun Lufang, I am truly disappointed in you; I didn’t realize you are such a malicious woman.”

Upon hearing the last sentence, Sun Lufang abruptly raised her head, ”I’m malicious? Li Dajun, ask your conscience, why am I malicious? Everyone in the courtyard knows about the new Guard Team being established in S Province. We’re hearing that only two captains will be promoted to Chief Guard. Among the captains in our courtyard, in terms of experience and capability, who has more than you? But it just so happens you’re stuck in the same zone as Mu Xingfeng; don’t you feel frustrated?”
