My Husband Is Not Easy To Mess With. - Chapter 72: It's Normal for the Outrageous Father to Say Anything

Chapter 72: It’s Normal for the Outrageous Father to Say Anything

As soon as Prince Duan left, Nie Yao clocked out of work.

He returned to the palace.

He saw his wife and father chatting happily.

“Dad, why are you here again?” In just a few days, his good wife had learned to sneak snacks behind his back, following his father’s lead.

Nie Yao had a headache.

He worried that the two of them might eat too much of too many different things, which their stomachs couldn’t handle.

“What, I can’t come?”

Qi Hewen didn’t even look at his son, carefully fussing over his son-in-law.

As an experienced person, he already knew his son-in-law was carrying a baby!

Only his silly son was completely clueless, still thinking his wife was merely unwell.

Tsk~ How did he give birth to such a fool!

Since his son-in-law asked him to keep it a secret, Qi Hewen didn’t pry. He just came to the palace every day to bring good things to his son-in-law and help arrange the palace to be suitable for a pregnant person.

His son came back a bit late today.

Qi Hewen loudly chastised him: “What’s wrong with you? Why are you back so late? Don’t you know Baby Lanlan has been waiting for you at home!”

Nie Yao: He had only been out for two hours, right?

Why did his father make it sound like he had been out carousing for several days?

Speechless.

Nie Yao walked straight to his wife, touched his forehead—too embarrassed to kiss him with his father present—”How is your body today? Are you okay?”

“I’m great!”

Du Suilan ate an extra half bowl of pudding today, led by Father Qi.

He was in a very good mood.

Qi Hewen was perceptive, knowing he had become a bright candle, so he got up and retreated home.

Unexpectedly, halfway there, he ran back.

“Son, son, son!”

Qi Hewen started shouting before he even entered the door.

Nie Yao, who was affectionately kissing his wife, was startled and almost bit his wife’s tongue.

“What is it this time, Dad?”

Releasing his wife, Nie Yao opened the door for his father with a fake smile.

Qi Hewen: “Son, don’t smile like that. Your dad is timid and has to walk at night!”

Seriously, didn’t his son know who he took after?

That smile was truly terrifying.

Qi Hewen patted his chest and calmed down, then got to the point: “That person, that idiot from Yuan Kingdom, is in the palace. I heard he wants to discuss some matters with Baby Lanlan!”

“Prince Duan?”

“Yes, him!”

He came really fast.

Nie Yao had just arrived not long ago, and he immediately came to complain.

The eunuch who came to report to Du Suilan wasn’t as fast as Qi Hewen. Du Suilan, escorted by his husband, had already left the palace gate when the eunuch arrived.

“Eunuch Xiaodouzi, Prince Duan said he must see His Majesty.”

“Mm, understood. You may leave.”

The job of serving the Emperor was no longer needed for him, so Xiaodouzi had been busy with other matters lately.

He didn’t even lift his head, said he understood, and dismissed the person.

The old eunuch was confused but obediently retreated.

“Husband, did that Prince Duan bully you?” Du Suilan asked on the way. If he was bullied, he would take revenge for his husband!

“No.”

How could Nie Yao allow anyone outside his wife to bully him? He roughly explained today’s situation.

He wanted his wife to be aware.

He exchanges information with his wife every time he comes back from work, so they can smoothly complete the grand project of unifying the world.

“You say you weren’t bullied!” Du Suilan huffed. “How dare he play tricks on you! Don’t worry, husband, I’m going to deal with him!”

Pushing the door open, he saw Prince Duan waiting inside.

Nie Yao found it inconvenient to enter, so he waited outside with his father.

“Bastard!”

Nie Yao was inexplicably scolded by his father.

He was even hit on the arm. “How could you make Baby Lanlan angry? Is this how you’re a husband? I don’t remember teaching you this way!”

With how absent-minded his father was, what could his brain possibly remember?

Nie Yao was seriously listening to the commotion inside.

But his father kept nagging in his ear.

He sighed.

“Dad, what exactly do you want to say?”

“You must treat Baby Lanlan well! You must love and care for him, putting him first in everything!”

“And then?”

“And you must indulge him, not make him angry, not force him to do things he dislikes, and especially not let him get hurt!”

Qi Hewen counted on his fingers, listing many precautions for a pregnant person.

Afterward, he still felt it wasn’t enough and insisted on writing them all down for Nie Yao, demanding he memorize them seriously and put them into practice.

Nie Yao: ???

Dad, you’re being ridiculous.

His wife was very healthy, not a fragile person who needed such meticulous care.

“Did you hear me?” Qi Hewen saw that his son hadn’t been listening seriously and slapped his back again.

If Nie Yao hadn’t been forewarned and kept a distance, the people inside would have noticed the commotion here long ago.

“I heard it, I heard it.”

“Then tell me, what did I just say.”

Nie Yao repeated it without emotion.

Word for word.

Truly his son, with a sharp mind!

Qi Hewen: “A ge’er needs careful nurturing. If you can’t even manage this level of care, how can you be a husband? Actually, I’ve observed these days, what you usually do is acceptable, but you need to pay more attention to these points.”

He listed several pregnant person precautions, insisting his son remember them well.

Nie Yao reminded him: “Dad, my wife isn’t pregnant. There’s no need for…”

“What ‘no need’!” Qi Hewen said righteously. “Does Baby Lanlan have to be pregnant before you treat him this carefully?”

What on earth was this logic.

Nie Yao couldn’t stand his father’s nagging, so he wrote down everything he said and swore, as requested, that he would strictly abide by every rule and treat his wife well.

“Good son~” Qi Hewen stroked his son’s head. “Your dad knows, my son is the best~”

He smiled sweetly, patting him as if he were patting a puppy.

Nie Yao complained that he was annoying, but stood still, allowing his father to jump up and pat his head.

Qi Hewen: “Baby Lanlan doesn’t have it easy. Be more understanding of him in everything. My baby is so amazing, I believe you can take good care of Baby Lanlan!”

“Alright Dad, my head is going to swell if you keep hitting it.” Nie Yao told his father to rest properly.

Qi Hewen sighed, “My son has grown up. He used to love it when Dad did this.”

“I didn’t, Dad, don’t talk nonsense!”

“Tch~”

Still dishonest after all these years of teaching.

Qi Hewen lightly slapped his precious son again. “Still lying to Dad? Tell me that when I’m eighty and my eyes fail!”

“Dad, I’m married!” Nie Yao whispered, asking his father to save him some face.

Alright, alright.

Seeing that his precious son was about to become a father, Qi Hewen promised not to tell his son-in-law about his childhood “black history.”

Anyway, he had said almost everything. It didn’t matter if he didn’t mention the remaining little things for now.

He would save them for his future precious grandchild.

The baby would surely like to listen, too.

Nie Yao, unaware that his father was plotting to undermine him, listened intently to the movements inside.

Inside the grand hall.

Prince Duan was currently threatening war, demanding that Du Suilan properly discipline the lawless Nie Yao, making him apologize, or else he would not let the matter rest easily.
