Pretty idiots are born to be played with and ruined by their husbands.

Chapter 94 Give this dog a compliment

In the past few days, the temperature in Fucheng has started to drop slightly, making it less unbearably hot.

The government's highway construction project is now more than halfway complete.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Zhou Gangxun opened the door and came back. As soon as he entered the house, Xiao Hei wagged its tail and pounced on him. Then it sneezed. Zhou Gangxun had a very bitter and spicy smell on him. Ruan Zhijuan frowned, wrinkled her face, and kept sniffing. It was the smell of alcohol.

Zhou Gangxun glanced at the snacks scattered on the ground, then picked up the person. Every night when he didn't come back by nine o'clock, Ruan Zhijuan would wait for him here with a cushion, a snack cart, and Xiao Hei.

He pinched Ruan Zhijuan's nose, "What kind of shady behavior is this, constantly sniffing?"

Ruan Zhijuan looked up at Zhou Gangxun, her voice slightly distorted from having her nose pinched, and asked, "Were you bullied, Zhou Gangxun?"

When Zhou Gangxun was rich, he always smelled nice because no one could force him to drink alcohol.

He doesn't smell bad now, but he has a bitter smell that makes my stomach feel uncomfortable. He must have been forced to drink alcohol.

Zhou Gang followed up on Ruan Zhijuan's words and asked, "Are you going to back me up?"

Ruan Zhijuan squinted and snorted viciously, "Hmph, I'll call the police to arrest them and bring them all to justice." Isn't there a saying that you have to consider the owner before beating a dog? He's a vicious person, so his dog shouldn't be bullied.

"Silly wife," Zhou Gangxun said, biting and sucking on Ruan Zhijuan's cheek. "You're really something."

He reported, "It's a government banquet. The project is in its final stages, and we need to socialize and entertain people to avoid delays."

As he spoke, Zhou Gangxun took something out of his pocket and put it on Ruan Zhijuan's finger.

Ruan Zhijuan spread her five fingers and showed them to herself; it was a red gemstone ring about the size of a thumb.

But this is nothing new. Starting with the gold bracelet, Zhou Gangxun would bring back such beautiful things for him every now and then. Sometimes it was a gemstone ring, and sometimes it was a green bracelet.

It's not like a dog, which usually picks up bones.

It's a bit like a crow picking up pretty stones, glass shards, and colorful seashells.

The encyclopedia that Zhou Gangxun bought for him said that crows obtain sensory and behavioral pleasure by manipulating and moving beautiful stones, which is a typical characteristic of highly intelligent animals.

However, Ruan Zhijuan still thought gold was the best, because it was shiny and looked very valuable.

Zhou Gangxun's gifts were all jewelry that held their value and appreciated. He didn't buy gold because Ruan Zhijuan knew that gold was expensive and she wouldn't want to wear it. Both gold locks were tied with red strings and hidden in her clothes.

If we hang it any longer, it'll turn into a Christmas tree, jingling every time we go outside.

"Buzzing—"

Zhou Gangxun's phone rang. He answered it casually and handed the sweet soup to Ruan Zhijuan.

"Zhou Gangxun, I sabotaged another project of the Ruan family's subsidiary today. I estimate they'll lose four or five million in the stock market." Huo Wenyong said excitedly on the phone, "What's the use? Even if we snatch it, we can't hold onto it. It's all for nothing now."

For the past two weeks, Huo Wenyong and Zhou Gangxun have used this remote method to poach two of the Ruan family's partners, taking up their government funding quotas, and also acquiring shares in some of the Ruan family's peripheral companies at low prices.

Huo Wenyong did not use his own name; he either used resource exchanges or leaked rumors.

The Ruan family hasn't had a peaceful day in the past two weeks.

The worst is yet to come.

Zhou Gangxun smirked, covered the phone's receiver, and said to Ruan Zhijuan, "My friend's dog has learned to pee in a designated spot today. Can you praise this dog?"

Ruan Zhijuan swallowed the cassava syrup she had just put in her mouth. It's amazing that the puppy can learn this; Xiao Hei learned it in just one or two days after Zhou Gangxun taught it.

But Zhou Gangxun didn't give him the phone; he kept it to his own ear. Ruan Zhijuan had no choice but to move closer to Zhou Gangxun, press her ear against his, and praise him into the phone, "You're great. Keep it up next time."

Zhou Gangxun raised an eyebrow, then heard a questioning voice on the phone: "What's going on? Who was that just now? It definitely wasn't you speaking in a high-pitched voice. Your wife? Why does your wife talk like she's coaxing a child? No, it sounds more like she's teasing a dog... Zhou Gangxun, have you done something inhuman again?"

Zhou Gangxun seemed to have just remembered that there was someone else on the phone. "Oh, you're still here."

Huo Wenyong immediately retorted, "So you've sent your wife to tease the dog, huh? Zhou Gangxun, did you lose your mind after getting married? Am I the spice of your marriage...?"

"You're great, keep it up next time, Mr. Huo," Zhou Gangxun joked, then hung up the phone.

"Buzz—buzz—buzz buzz—"

Is having a wife such a big deal?

[Don't let your heartless and wicked nature corrupt your wife.]

I'm telling you, I'll be getting married soon too, and I've already started arranging blind dates.

One message after another popped up.

Zhou Gangxun put his phone aside and asked Ruan Zhijuan, "There's a political and business reception between Hong Kong and Fuxing on a cruise ship for the Mid-Autumn Festival in a couple of days. Would you like to go?"

"A cruise ship!" Ruan Zhijuan had seen yachts on TV, but had never seen a cruise ship. "What's fun about a cruise ship?"

"That sounds fun..." Zhou Gangxun thought for a moment and listed some things, "Maybe feeding seabirds and fish, enjoying the sea breeze? Hot springs and saunas, outdoor swimming pools, marine parks, auctions, song and dance performances, magic shows, circus performances, fireworks..."

Ruan Zhijuan's eyes sparkled; these were all things he had never seen before. He quickly replied, "Yes, yes, I'll go."

Zhou Gangxun's face turned slightly towards him.

Ruan Zhijuan's pretty face fell instantly. He sighed helplessly, awkwardly lifted his clothes, pouted, and leaned in to kiss Zhou Gangxun's cheek. "Hmph, there's nothing I can do. A dog of a man is a dog of a man. Zhou Gangxun is such a lewd person, and their family is such a lewd family..."
