Qi Taiguo rushed home from the military, ascending the stairs to their apartment door. It was only then that he deliberately slowed his pace, straightened his face and thought, "I can't let Cheng Su continue to be so capricious, I can't let her think I'm without a temper and will always yield to her."
Standing at the kitchen entrance, he purposefully glanced around, no one was there.
Then, stepping inside the house, he announced loudly, "I'm back!"
Mother Qi was playing with Xiao Bao on the sofa, while Qi Fenglian was about to rinse rice to cook with the electric rice cooker, but Cheng Su was nowhere to be seen.
Qi Taiguo checked the guest room, then peered into their bedroom. Cheng Su was not there; not even a shadow, which made him frown.
"Stop looking, she hasn't returned yet!" Qi Fenglian said, "Go check the restaurant, see if she's there, at least bring her back, it's almost dinnertime!"
