Reborn as Zhao Ruilong of Handong, I will defy fate.

Under the cover of night, Yanjing is bustling with traffic.

A brand-new Passat sedan sped off the main road and turned toward the main gate of the residential area.

"Slow down when you turn!"

"I almost hit someone riding a bike on the side road!"

Sitting in the passenger seat, Zhong Xiaoai reprimanded him like a queen.

Hou Liangping, who was driving, quickly explained:

"I saw him in my rearview mirror a long time ago, and only after I made sure I wouldn't hit him did I speed up and turn in."

Zhong Xiaoai snorted coldly: "Yielding to oncoming traffic when turning is clearly stipulated in the traffic regulations. How many traffic accidents have occurred because people thought they were good drivers and tried to save a little time?"

Hou Liangping would never dare to argue with his wife.

After waiting for a full seven days, my wife's period finally ended.

Tonight, I specially drove my newly bought Passat to a low-key yet luxurious restaurant for a delicious meal.

I'm almost home, about to take the next step in our romance and enjoy happiness, so how could I possibly offend my wife?

"Yes, yes, yes, my wife is right to criticize me. I humbly accept it and promise to strictly abide by traffic regulations when driving in the future!"

"That's pretty much it!"

Zhong Xiaoai turned around and looked ahead.

The guardrail lifted, and the Passat slowly drove over the speed bump.

There was no violent shaking or jolt, just a gentle vibration.

"This car is definitely more comfortable to ride in than the Santana at work!"

"Not only is it quieter, more spacious, and has more comfortable seats, but the chassis also filters vibrations quite well."

Upon hearing his wife's words, Hou Liangping immediately smiled smugly:

"This is a Passat, honey!"

"A mid-size sedan that was only officially launched in the country in January!"

"Just the price alone is more than 100,000 yuan more expensive than the Santana, so it's naturally much more upscale!"

Zhong Xiaoai laughed and said, "Yes, the total cost for everything is almost 300,000 yuan. It's true that you get what you pay for."

"Of course!"

As Hou Liangping made a gentle, slow turn, he spoke unhurriedly:

"For industrial products like cars, you get what you pay for."

"It's more expensive than the Santana, and there's a reason why it's more expensive!"

"The reason I advised you to buy the Passat was actually because it was a Volkswagen brand and not so eye-catching."

"Think about it, given our current job levels, it's obviously inappropriate for us to drive an Audi, while Mercedes and BMW are too tacky and don't quite match our status within the system."

"The Santana isn't very high-end, so the Volkswagen Passat, with its moderate and elegant appearance and comfortable and high-end features, is the most suitable for us. It's understated yet classy."

Zhong Xiaoai gave Hou Liangping an approving look.

"You have good taste, alright?"

Hou Liangping turned to look at Zhong Xiaoai.

Their eyes conveyed affection, their gazes were intense.

"Of course I have good taste, otherwise how could I have found such a wonderful wife like you?"

"Slick!"

Zhong Xiaoai pouted and feigned anger, saying:

"Focus on backing up! It's a brand new car, don't scratch it!"

"Have you forgotten my colleague, Sister Wang? She saved up for several years and finally bought a new car, ready to happily go back to her hometown for the Chinese New Year."

"On the day she picked up the car and drove it home, her husband backed it up and scraped off a large patch of paint. She was so upset that she couldn't sleep well for several days."

Hou Liangping sneered dismissively:

"Her husband is bad at it, but I'm different!"

“I drive the company car almost every day, and I’ve long since become a skilled and experienced driver.”

As he spoke, Hou Liang steadily backed the car into the parking space.

"See? One hit and it's perfect! That's the skill of a veteran driver!!"

"Tch, look at you, acting all high and mighty!"

Zhong Xiaoai unbuckled her seatbelt and glanced at Hou Liangping with a hint of disdain.

"Don't brag about being an experienced driver!"

"Would a truly skilled driver stall the car in less than two minutes on the road?"

"..."

Hou Liangping was instantly embarrassed.

But with his quick thinking, he immediately said:

"Don't worry, honey, I definitely won't tonight!"

"why?"

"I ate at such a high-end restaurant today, and I feel really good!"

"What if you turn off the engine in less than two minutes again tonight?"

"Don't worry, don't worry, I promise it won't happen!"

When he said this, Hou Liangping had already thought of a solution.

When Cai Chenggong came to Yanjing before, he secretly gave him a box of medicine.

They say that after eating it, even a soft man can turn into a tough guy.

Even an old man can regain his youthful vigor!

It can perfectly solve the embarrassing problem of insufficient combat power.

of course.

Cai Chenggong also said that nothing in the world is perfect.

This miracle drug, Viagra, also has side effects.

Besides its exceptionally potent and powerful therapeutic effects.

After using it, you will feel physically and mentally exhausted, as if your body has been hollowed out.

Some people may even experience palpitations, dizziness, and facial flushing.

but……

Tonight, I'll make sure I'm no longer just all show and no substance.

In order to prevent his wife, Zhong Xiaoai, from thinking that besides being handsome, he was not a qualified driver at all.

Hou Liangping decided to give it his all.

Even if there are side effects, even if you feel sore in your lower back and knees, or dizzy and lightheaded the next day, so what?

Tomorrow is Saturday, no work!

If you sleep in late and then get up, your wife won't notice anything unusual.

Having made up my mind, I quickly got off the bus.

I picked up the shopping bags from the trunk.

Then they held hands affectionately and went home.

As I entered the elevator, I smelled the high-end perfume Zhong Xiaoai was wearing and put my arm around her soft, slender waist.

Hou Liangping was immediately distracted and became somewhat impatient.

So when they got home, he wouldn't let Zhong Xiaoai unpack the new clothes and shoes she bought while shopping.

I coaxed and tricked her into going to wash up and take a shower first.

Then he quickly went to the kitchen.

He is a 'stay-at-home dad'.

The main reason he was able to win over Zhong Xiaoai back then was his excellent cooking skills; he successfully captured a woman's heart through her stomach.

However, this also meant that cooking and housework became his sole responsibility.

of course.

This isn't without its advantages.

After he was transferred back from Jingzhou, neither his wife Zhong Xiaoai nor his father-in-law Zhong Zhengguo ever cooked.

Therefore, Hou Liangping could confidently hide Viagra, the miracle drug that Cai Chenggong had personally tested, in the cupboard.

Peel back the various seasonings to find the hidden magic medicine.

Hou Liangping quickly unscrewed the cap, tore off the sealing film, poured out a pill, and swallowed it immediately.

"Cai Chenggong said he tried it more than once, and the effect was particularly good."

"I assured my wife that I'd be in exceptionally good shape tonight!"

"Then I'll take another one, double the effect, I have to make my wife happy!"

Hou Liangping quickly ate another one.

Immediately afterwards, like a thief, he hurriedly screwed on the cap and put the medicine bottle back in its original place.

Then, various spice bags were pressed down to restore the original shape.

I left the kitchen and carefully made my way to the door of the master bathroom.

Hearing the rushing water inside, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm still so young, and my combat strength isn't enough, so I'll make up for it with medicine!"

"If my wife finds out, she'll definitely laugh at me, so I absolutely can't let her know about taking this medicine!"

Hou Liangping secretly made up his mind.

Then we quickly began decorating the master bedroom.

First, light the candles and sprinkle flower petals.

Find another romantic movie DVD.

After confirming that the movie could be played, Hou Liangping quickly paused it.

Then, after finding my pajamas, I rushed to the master bathroom.

Turning the doorknob, I found the door wasn't locked.

Hou Liangping's mouth was splitting open with a wide smile.

"Seven days...it seems my wife misses me too!"

"Luckily, we had the magic potion tonight, otherwise it would have ruined her good mood!"

open the door.

I saw that graceful figure beneath the misty water vapor.

Hou Liangping's eyes widened and his heart raced.

"My dearest wife, I'm here!"

"Ugh, get out of here! How annoying!"

……

Ding dong ~ ding dong ~

The doorbell rings.

Qin Siyuan stood at the door with a gloomy expression.

At this moment, his feelings were extremely complicated.

Who would have thought that Hou Liangping, who was in charge of fighting corruption, would become corrupt himself?

This guy was still the subordinate I valued and trusted the most.

Previously, she tried to please Zhong Zhengguo and Zhong Xiaoai.

He was also exceptionally kind to Hou Liangping!

Whenever something good happens in the bureau, they think of him.

When there is an opportunity to make a contribution, he is the first person they think of.

This allowed Hou Liangping to rise rapidly in rank after being transferred from Handong to Yanjing.

however……

The person who thought he was least likely to get into trouble ended up getting into trouble.

Qin Siyuan was filled with deep regret.

I feel that I shouldn't have been so nice to Hou Liangping before.

But now that things have come to this, what else can we do but quickly distance ourselves from it?

Otherwise, it will inevitably affect one's career and hinder one's progress!

How will directors become deputy bureau chiefs, and deputy bureau chiefs become bureau chiefs in the future?

and so……

Qin Siyuan volunteered to lead the way for Tan Yaoming, the second deputy secretary of the Discipline Inspection and Supervision Commission.

“That’s strange. We saw them drive into the residential area with our own eyes.”

"I saw his lights were on in his apartment downstairs just now!"

No sooner had Qin Siyuan finished speaking than someone reminded him:

"The gas meter is moving; it must be taking a shower!"

"You took a shower as soon as you got home?"

Qin Siyuan took out his phone and looked at Tan Yaoming with a questioning gaze.

"Tan Shuji, should we call Hou Liangping to open the door?"

Tan Yaoming shook his head decisively.

"We mustn't alert them!"

"Someone, pick the lock!"

soon.

The door was easily pried open.

As soon as the group entered the house, they heard Hou Liangping's loud singing coming from the direction of the master bedroom.

"You are like a fire in winter, your blazing flames warm my heart."

"Every time you quietly approach me, the firelight illuminates me..."

Qin Siyuan's face darkened upon hearing the singing.

Damn Hou Liangping!

Her singing skills are indeed excellent!

No wonder he was the campus heartthrob of Handong University back then; he captivated the young girls.

However, it's not winter now, but almost summer.

Your fire in winter should be extinguished now!

Bang!

The door was kicked open forcefully.

Hou Liangping, shirtless, holding a rose, and wearing only his underwear, sang in front of Zhong Xiaoai.

He was immediately stunned into silence.

He was completely still, as if he had been struck on acupoints in a martial arts drama.

Zhong Xiaoai, who was applying makeup in front of the mirror, turned her head in surprise while wearing a face mask.

"Qin..."

"Let's go out first!"

When Qin Siyuan saw that Zhong Xiaoai and her husband were dressed very provocatively, he immediately led the others to avoid them.

Tam Yiu-ming stood at the door with his hands behind his back, exuding an imposing aura.

"Uncle Tan, oh no, Tan Shuji, what brings you here?"

Zhong Xiaoai stood up in a state of fear and trepidation, her whole body trembling.

Tan Yaoming didn't look at Zhong Xiaoai, who was wearing a black halter dress, but instead looked at Hou Liangping.

The tent was pitched high, clearly indicating that the young man was eager to get started.

"You two should know very well why I'm here!"

"Don't ask anything, don't say anything, you two get dressed right now and come with me!"

Zhong Xiaoai immediately collapsed to the ground.

"No! No, Tan Shuji, I..."

Tam Yiu-ming raised his hand and pointed.

He glared at Zhong Xiaoai with a cold, angry look.

"I'm giving you face, don't push your luck."

"Now, immediately, get dressed!"

"And you, Hou Liangping!!"

Hearing the angry shout, Hou Liangping shuddered.

Didn't you hear what I just said?

"Do you really want to be taken away like this?"

Tan Yaoming's questioning voice finally brought Hou Liangping back to his senses.

There was no time to think about what had happened.

I glanced down instinctively and was immediately embarrassed.

In an instant.

I felt dizzy and my heart was pounding.

Add to that a feeling of fear and unease.

My mind went blank immediately, and I had absolutely no idea what to do.

He didn't stop until he saw his wife get up, open the wardrobe door, and take out her clothes.

He then remembered that he should also find some clothes to put on.

otherwise……

If he were taken away like that, he would definitely become infamous very quickly.

But soon, something happened that made him feel utterly ashamed.

The clothes are easy to put on, but the pants are hard to zip up.

This scene.

Zhong Xiaoai was stunned and speechless.

I've never seen you, Hou Liangping, so full of fighting spirit before.

Why is the momentum so fierce at this time?

And Tam Yiu-ming was truly amazed.

I've been handling cases for so many years.

I've seen plenty of people get terrified on the spot.

But this is the first time I've seen someone in such a high-spirited state as Hou Liangping.

"Is the impending doom making you incredibly excited?"

"Never mind if the zipper won't zip up. Put on that long trench coat and come with me right now!"
