Chapter 525: Chapter 525

Chen Ke immediately felt that Mai Qiqi was behaving like a fool, knowing she was in the wrong yet still making a scene. His face showed his disdain, which only made Mai Qiqi feel both embarrassed and angry.

He didn’t have the slightest bit of gentlemanly demeanor, a far cry from the likes of Yan Hui.

Chen Ke said, "You definitely won’t be able to raise kids properly in the future."

Mai Qiqi’s eyes widened in disbelief, thinking she had heard wrong. "What did you say?" She was so angry she could barely breathe.

Chen Ke felt he shouldn’t be arguing with Mai Qiqi, who still hadn’t grown up, so he cleared his throat awkwardly, trying to backtrack, "I said you should reconsider what I just mentioned."

Mai Qiqi was relentless: "Not that sentence. Repeat what you just said. I heard it clearly."

She heard it clearly yet still asks, Chen Ke remained silent.

Mai Qiqi, grinding her teeth, asked, "Did you just say I won’t be able to raise kids properly in the future? What gives you the right to say that about me!"

Chen Ke shrugged, "Because you have no principles and might let the kids go astray, just like with your friends, even knowing they’re in the wrong, you still indulge them."

With every word Chen Ke said, Mai Qiqi’s expression worsened.

"Never thought that a man in uniform could be such a busybody like a woman. Too bad you’re too dark-skinned, otherwise, I might actually consider being good sisters with you in the future." Mai Qiqi’s sharp words were spat out.

Now it was Chen Ke’s turn to look displeased. The two of them stared each other down, neither willing to back down. Anyone looking over would notice the high-voltage tension crackling between their gazes.

Eventually, Chen Ke was the first to snap out of it, ridiculing himself for getting so easily angered by this young woman. It was ridiculous to be glaring at each other over a few verbal disputes.

After calming down, he didn’t confront Mai Qiqi head-on and even graciously apologized, "I’m sorry for what I said earlier, I take it back. If it caused you any trouble, I apologize."

Mai Qiqi huffed loudly.

"I won’t say those things about you anymore. If you’re still not satisfied, why don’t you beat me up? I can take a hit; I’m thick-skinned." Chen Ke tried to remedy the situation, thinking to himself how impulsive he had been. He still needed to ask a favor from this young lady today.

Since the other party had apologized and gone so far as to say that, Mai Qiqi, not one to hold a grudge when she had the upper hand, decided to let it go, "Fine. Your lady here will be generous this once and let you off the hook."

Chen Ke sighed in relief and warned himself to be more composed in the future.

"Let’s get back to the topic of Wan Chu’er and Captain Jiang... Everyone makes mistakes. If we execute everyone for a single fault, the world wouldn’t be able to function. We need to give each other a chance."

Mai Qiqi interrupted him, "Chuchu has already given chances, not just once but twice. No woman can tolerate her man being entangled with another woman. It’s Jiang Kechu who didn’t treasure what he had."

Chen Ke quietly admonished himself, reminding his future married self never to get entangled with other women—it’s just too much trouble.

Why was he having such thoughts?

Before he could figure it out, Mai Qiqi spoke again, "I’m not going to tell you where Chuchu and the others are. Chuchu doesn’t want to see Jiang Kechu right now."

Huh? Chen Ke blurted out, "You know where Chuanqi and the others are?" He still felt awkward calling Wan Chu’er by her name, so he just used Chuanqi’s name instead.

"I don’t know, didn’t you hear it yesterday? Chuchu said she would tell me the place once she’s settled down," Mai Qiqi spread her hands. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on N0veI.Fiɾe.net

Chen Ke looked closely at her expression for a few seconds and knew she was telling the truth.

"Then if you contact her again, could you inform Captain Jiang about Chuanqi and their situation? Captain Jiang is really concerned about them. Or, could you pass a few words from Captain Jiang to Legendary Mother?" Chen Ke pondered for a moment before speaking.

Mai Qiqi thought about it and felt that Chen Ke’s words made some sense. Wan Chu’er and Jiang Kechu shouldn’t just part ways . Since Captain Jiang regretted his actions and had rectified his ways, it made sense to give him another chance.

Seeing that Mai Qiqi didn’t speak, Chen Ke thought she was still hesitating and reflecting, so he added, "Anyway, Captain Jiang is after all Chuanqi’s and Hunter’s father. He has the right to be concerned about them."

"Alright," Mai Qiqi agreed.

Chen Ke secretly made a V sign inside, truly feeling that this task was difficult. He would rather face armed terrorists.

"So, could you firstly inform Legendary Mother that Captain Jiang has realized his mistakes? He promises that if his sister-in-law doesn’t agree, he won’t even spare a second glance at a hen."

Mai Qiqi couldn’t help but chuckle.

"Captain Jiang has broken up with Wei Feng. If his sister-in-law agrees, Captain Jiang could even send Wei Feng out of the country."

"Captain Jiang is now full of regret and pain, and he hopes his sister-in-law would be magnanimous and give him one more chance."

Mai Qiqi thought about it, deciding these things weren’t too much to ask. Wan Chu’er should be made aware of these matters, so she nodded in agreement.

Chen Ke thought about it, finding nothing else to add, and said, "I hope we can keep each other informed in the future." Then he stretched out his fist.

In the army, when brothers reached an agreement, they would usually bump fists. Feeling happy, he stretched his fist towards Mai Qiqi.

Mai Qiqi was taken aback at first, then quickly caught on and found it amusing. Before Chen Ke could retract his hand, she quickly made a fist and bumped his.

Ouch, that really hurt. His fist must be made of stone, Mai Qiqi thought, pursing her lips.

Chen Ke almost burst out laughing, but he held it in, fearing that he might upset Miss High-and-Mighty again.

Chen Ke sent Mai Qiqi home again, and once more, she got off the car a block early.

When she got to the door, she saw Mother Mai pretending to take a walk, peering continuously from inside the gate outwards.

Mai Qiqi was speechless and felt lucky that she got off early; otherwise, being caught by this old lady would be troublesome. "Mom, what are you doing?"

However, Mother Mai ignored her and instead looked in the direction she came from, seeing nothing after a long while and couldn’t help feeling disappointed.

"Did you come back by yourself? Who did you meet with, and why didn’t that person send you home? It’s not good ," Mother Mai muttered.

Mai Qiqi twitched the corners of her mouth, fully aware of what her mother meant, but she didn’t engage, instead saying, "If you don’t go, then I’m going home first."

Mother Mai had no choice but to follow, trying to pry and probe all the way, yet failing to find out anything.

As soon as they got home, Mai Qiqi went into her room and called Wan Chu’er, recounting her conversation with Chen Ke.

"Chuchu, that’s the situation. Whatever you decide, I’ll support you."

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, and then Wan Chu’er said, "I know." But she didn’t mention what she actually thought, causing Mai Qiqi great anxiety, although she didn’t want to interfere.

After hanging up the phone, Wan Chu’er let out a cold laugh: Guarantees? He had made plenty of promises before, but still continued to make mistakes. Hmph!
