Lu Xiaoting had not expected to be hit with such explosive news just as he entered his home, and, surprised, his voice unintentionally amplified a few notches.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law duo on the kang were startled by the sudden noise, unprepared and shuddering.
The two hurriedly checked on the triplets nearby, seeing that the little ones were not awakened by the commotion, they both sighed with relief.
Mrs. Lu glared at her second son standing at the doorway, "Why are you yelling so loudly?! Huh? Trying to scare your mother to death?!"
Susu clutched her wildly thumping chest, glaring at the man with no good humor, "You nearly scared my soul out of me."
Lu Xiaogu watched her nephew being scolded, and couldn't help but hide her smile behind pursed lips.
Chastised by both his mother and his wife, Lu Xiaoting scratched his head in chagrin.
"Mom, wife, I was wrong."
