At this moment, he was practically panicking, afraid that Yingying would think he was too cunning and would never pay attention to him again.

Actually, Liang Yuening had realized long ago that sometimes, his wife had to play smart with the eldest brother and the others because they were deep thinkers and skilled in strategy, and smart people have some unspoken rules when interacting.

But in front of him?

Maybe, maybe it’s because he’s naïve.

From the very beginning, when his wife’s relationship with everyone was still very tense and hostile, she had never hidden anything from him. It was more like she said whatever came to mind without thinking, and Yuening really liked that feeling.

Privately, he even secretly rejoiced because it meant his wife trusted him very much and felt at ease with him.

But after acting out a scene, what if his wife started to hate him?

At this moment, Liang Yuening was so worried he felt like pulling out his hair.

Dong Huiying: "..."

She watched Liang Yuening with a blank expression, trying hard to mimic the icy expression of Fourth Brother Haoming, then plagiarizing the mysterious demeanor of the eldest brother, and afterward, imitating Second Brother with a faint look in her eyes and a mocking expression, all while staring at Liang Yuening without moving.

Liang Yuening: "..."

I’m under so much pressure!

He was so worried he was about to cry.

He gently tugged at his wife’s sleeve with caution.

"Wife?"

Dong Huiying: "..."

"Yingying?"

Dong Huiying: "..."

The man’s eyes were a bit red, and he pouted.

"I really didn’t do it on purpose? Please don’t hate me, okay?"

Dong Huiying: "... Pfft!"

She couldn’t hold it anymore, she couldn’t keep it up, or else this guy might really cry in front of her.

She held her stomach and laughed so hard, tears started streaming from her eyes.

After a while, her stomach was cramping from laughter, she rubbed it hard, wiped away the tears at the corners of her eyes, and continued to laugh.

"Fifth Brother Liang, you’re really something, aren’t you? You’re so sneaky, I actually fell for it?"

Her eyes curved in a smile, gleaming brightly.

Originally, she thought Little Wu was the most innocent in the family, but unexpectedly, close associations bring influence. Being around all these Bai Qiehei, Little Wu gradually acquired the scheming traits of these guys.

This isn’t just a matter of gaining a little intelligence!

He’s practically a goblin now.

The naïve guy managed to hide it from her for so long, and the most important thing was that she never saw it, always thinking he was still the impulsive hothead he used to be.

Who would have thought he’s long transformed into a butterfly, achieving a perfect inner metamorphosis.

Seeing his wife laughing so heartily, Yuening blushed and realized afterward that he had been played by her.

He looked at his wife dumbly and innocently.

"Yingying?"

Then gently, with small motions, tugged at Dong Huiying’s sleeve again.

"Not angry with me?"

It sounded like he was testing the waters.

Dong Huiying was barely able to contain her laughter, almost bursting again.

"Why would I be angry?"

Despite him being more cunning than before, she understood that all his cleverness was meant for outsiders, not for those at home.

Otherwise, with his level of craftiness, if he really used it on his brothers at home, he wouldn’t often get scolded for being dumb by Second Brother, nor would he frequently get bullied.
