Chapter 933: Chapter 933: Do I Deserve to Be Your Punching Bag?
Ye Qiuqiu was just about to speak when Chen Haobo said, “Don’t buy these things anymore. It’s a waste. Let’s save so money at ho.”
“I will save where we need to save, but these are…”
“Forget it, they are already bought. I have a bit of a headache now, let rest a bit.” Chen Haobo said, supporting his forehead.
Originally, she had a lot to share with him when she ca back, but seeing him like this, Ye Qiuqiu felt it was tasteless and said nothing.
She picked up the gift box and was about to put it on the table when she saw the baby formula she had bought before leaving, unopened and untouched in the room.
“Has Qianqian not had any milk these past few days?” Ye Qiuqiu asked.
“Mum was looking after her. Go ask her.”
Ye Qiuqiu was dissatisfied with his answer: “Qianqian is your daughter, and you don’t even know what she’s been eating? Didn’t I tell you before I left that even though Qianqian can eat solid food, milk should still be her primary diet?”
“I’m so busy everyday, how could I have the ti for that? Isn’t my Mum taking good care of her?” Sohow, Chen Haobo got angry: “You’re so concerned, why didn’t you co back earlier? Going shopping and taking photos with celebrities, and yet you bla for not taking care of our child?”
Ye Qiuqiu, inexplicably accused, was also getting angry, but she still kept her temper, asking, “From the mont I was pregnant with Qianqian until now, suffering from morning sickness, cramps, sleepless nights, I haven’t had a single comfortable day, nor have I had proper rest. So what if I had fun for a couple of days? Do I deserve to be worked to death?”
“You think I’m not tired? Do you know how much pressure I’m under working all day to earn money? You’re tired just from taking care of our child at ho?” Chen Haobo retorted angrily, “You have my Mum to help you, what about ? I’ve been pulling all-nighters these past days, did I say anything?”
Ye Qiuqiu stared incredulously at the man in front of her who dismissed all her hardships with a single sentence.
Ye Qiuqiu watched him silently, and Chen Haobo, realizing his tone was too harsh, sat on the bed trying to calm his emotions. After a while, he said, “The company brought in a departnt manager from the headquarters to take over my job.”
Although the boss said that the salary would remain the sa and that the company would not mistreat an old employee, Chen Haobo knew it ant he was demoted from middle managent to a regular position. He would no longer be privy to insider information of middle managent, and any hopes for a promotion or pay raise were now bleak.
Thinking about the future educational expenses for his child and household expenses for a family of five, he had planned to push on in his business and aim for a promotion and pay raise. But now, it seed to be an unlikely dream; even discussing it with the boss would probably be in vain.
Facing this sudden setback, Chen Haobo had been very depressed these days.
“So, you take out the frustration you feel at work on because you are unhappy?” Ye Qiuqiu looked at her husband, breathing faster, angered: “Just because I’m soone close to you, I deserve to be your punching bag?”
“I didn’t yell at you, it was you who kept nagging in my ear. Don’t you know I’m irritated?” Chen Haobo said irritably.
Ye Qiuqiu’s eyes reddened, and she burst out: “You never ntioned a word, how the hell would I know you’re irritated! If you have the guts, go yell at your boss. If you don’t dare, then just bear with it. Who hasn’t worked before, who hasn’t been mistreated at work?”
In the midst of their argunt, neither of them noticed that Qianqian had managed to crawl by herself, falling off the bed.
With a “thud,” the subsequent loud cry suddenly tightened their hearts.
Seeing her daughter fallen on the floor, Ye Qiuqiu fiercely threw the gift box at Chen Haobo and rushed over to pick up Qianqian.
With a clattering sound, the perfu bottle fell to the floor and broke, filling the room with a strong woodsy scent.
