At first, Lu Jueyu didn’t see anything wrong with what she said. When she saw her husband trying to hold back his laughter and looked at her meaningfully, she realized that she had praised her husband to the heavens without realizing.
She buried her head in the bowl embarrassedly and continued eating as if nothing had happened. After all, what she said was the truth, she was just stating the fact.
Knowing that his wife was thin-skinned, Li Chenmo didn’t tease her and looked at Dong Li.
"Do you know why he thinks the losses outweigh the gains?" he asked.
Dong Li thought for a while and said, "Does he want my foster father to divorce my foster mother before matching you with his daughter?"
"This is only part of the reason." Li Chenmo said.
Hearing this, Dong Li’s eyes lit up and she said, "Foster father, I understand."
"He thinks you are not worthy of his daughter. When you divorce your wife, you have the title of divorcee. Not to mention that you already have two children, so you must be old. Therefore, if his daughter marries you, she will become a stepmother of two children and need to take care of another woman’s child."
Li Chenmo smiled at him and said, "Xiao Li is very smart."
Dong Huang was confused and asked aggrievedly, "Foster father, why did you want to divorce my foster mother and marry that bad woman?"
Seeing her pouting and looking sad, Dong Li said, "Xiao Huang, we are just talking about what that bad grandpa wants to do."
"Xiao Huang, your brother is right. If your foster father dares to find another woman, your foster mother will take you two away from here. Let’s find a handsome younger brother and let him be your new foster father," Lu Jueyu said jokingly.
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Chenmo’s face darkened. He gritted his teeth and said gloomily, "Wife, what did you say?"
Sensing the anger in her husband’s voice, Lu Jueyu realized that her joke had gone too far and said quickly, "Husband, I was just joking. How can I find another man who is better than you? What’s more, you alone already occupy all the places in my heart. There is no longer a place for another person."
Hearing his wife’s flattering words, Li Chenmo’s anger dissipated in the blink of an eye. He sighed, put some fish meat in his wife’s bowl, and said helplessly, "Be careful with what you say, lest the children learn bad things."
"I know, I won’t do it again," Lu Jueyu nodded obediently.
"Mhmm."
