“Engineer Zheng is her husband?” 

Chu Qiao asked.  

Xuan Hongxia nodded. 

“Those two are always fighting. I think Zhang Suqin has gone a bit crazy, she’s like a rabid dog, biting anyone she can get her teeth into!”  

“Then why did she only attack me?”  

Chu Qiao asked resentfully. Did she really seem that easy to bully?  

Xuan Hongxia blurted out, “Because her husband likes you.”  

Chu Qiao’s expression darkened. 

“Don’t talk nonsense. I’ve never even spoken to that Zheng guy. Today was the first time I’ve ever interacted with him.”  

Xuan Hongxia regretted her slip of the tongue. 

Seeing that Chu Qiao was genuinely upset, she decided not to hold back. 

“That’s what everyone at the factory is saying. It began in the electrical department, where they said Engineer Zheng has a thing for you. Eventually, the rumors circulated throughout the workshops. Zhang Suqin heard them and grew paranoid. She went home and had a disagreement with Engineer Zheng, which turned into an argument about having children. Zhang Suqin had always wanted a second child, but Engineer Zheng refused. He even used you as an example, asking her to learn from your ‘exemplary character’.”  

Chu Qiao was furious. 

“Are both of them insane? Whether they have children or not is none of my business! And when did I ever say I didn’t want children? Who’s spreading these baseless rumors?”  

Xuan Hongxia’s expression turned odd. 

“Xiao Chu, are you and Section Chief Gu still planning to have children?”  

“Nonsense, of course we are! We’re just not having one for now. Who’s been gossiping again?” 

Chu Qiao was truly exasperated. 

Why were there so many busybodies with nothing better to do than meddle in other people’s lives? They were like stirring sticks in a cesspit.  

Xuan Hongxia breathed a sigh of relief. 

“It’s good that you think that way. Even though Dabao and Xiaobao are good children, it’s still important to have one of your own. Biological children are the ones you can truly rely on. I was actually planning to persuade you, but I’m glad you’ve already figured it out.”  

“Sis, first tell me who’s been spreading these lies. I want to confront them face to face!”  

Chu Qiao, caught up in her anger, didn’t notice Xuan Hongxia’s increasingly strange expression. 

She was still fuming when Xuan Hongxia suddenly burst into laughter, leaving Chu Qiao even more bewildered.

Only after Xuan Hongxia had laughed her fill did she finally explain, “This isn’t just baseless gossip, it’s because your husband, Section Chief Gu, went to the family planning director to get contraceptives and said it himself.” 

Chu Qiao felt a surge of anger stuck at her throat and clenched her fists. 

If Gu Ye were in front of her right now, she would have slapped some sense into that blockhead.

Can’t he watch his own words? He had caused such a huge misunderstanding and even got her cursed at by a lunatic. 

Tonight, she was going to make a bitter melon feast, bitter enough to torture that guy.

Meanwhile, at the automotive parts factory, Gu Ye, who had been chatting with the installation technicians, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and couldn’t help shivering. 

A nearby technician joked, “Who’s thinking about Section Chief Gu?”

“It must be my wife! Every day when I leave, she’s reluctant to see me go and waits for me to come home like she’s counting the stars and the moon!”

Gu Ye spoke with such sincerity that even he believed it. 

Since their wedding night, his relationship with his wife had been hotter than a June day. 

Leaving for work every day was pure torture for him, and surely it was the same for Qiao Qiao.

“Section Chief Gu, you’ve got it wrong. Women only look forward to their men’s wallets returning home. After handing over their paychecks, men can roll as far away as possible.” 

Another technician voiced the sentiment of most middle-aged men.

The other technicians burst into laughter, though their laughter was tinged with helplessness.

“That’s because your wives aren’t like mine. My wife is absolutely the gentlest, most virtuous, and most beautiful woman in the world. Every day when I get home from work, there’s a lavish feast waiting, with all my favorite dishes. My wife adores me so much that she’s afraid I won’t eat well.”

Gu Ye looked at these technicians with pity. 

Heh… these weak, humble men… How could they possibly understand the happiness of a great, strong man like him? 

After finishing his chat with the technicians, Gu Ye eagerly headed home.
