Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 392: Becoming More and More Useless_1

Because it’s your responsibility, it’s mine too.

This love confession was a hundred times more straightforward and clearer than "I should be dunked in a pig cage."

Ding Jianwei’s eyes reddened instantly, filled with emotion, tenderness, and a multitude of complex feelings that Xiao Ming couldn’t comprehend.

He thought he was about to receive a passionate kiss and was hesitating whether to accept it calmly or to feign reluctance, when suddenly a kick sent him flying off the bed.

Next, Ding Jianwei got up, put on her shoes, grabbed her coat, and left.

"What’s wrong?" Xiao Ming asked, utterly bewildered, as he pulled her back.

Without turning around, Ding Jianwei fell silent for a moment before saying, "Although I’m very happy with your attitude now, and I really like it,

What I want is not pity."

After saying that, she yanked her hand from Xiao Ming’s grasp and strode out of the room.

Xiao Ming sat stunned for a while before shaking his head with a wry smile.

"Qingfeng."

Qingfeng pushed the door open. "Uncle."

"Jianwei will probably personally participate in the operation to capture Cui Zhibo. Please go and watch over her in secret."

Qingfeng frowned. "Mingyue and Furukawa are at the antique appraisal conference, and Xiao Qing is not with you. I must stay to ensure your safety."

"Don’t worry, I’m not as weak as you think. Even if I’m not very agile, I can last until you and Mingyue arrive if I really face danger.

Go now! Ding Jianwei is your uncle’s conscience.

She’s more important than me."

Qingfeng took the order and left, leaving Xiao Ming sitting on the floor, leaning against the bed for a long time without moving.

In just half a year since being reborn, the number of women around him had multiplied to the point where he could easily gather two tables for mahjong and still have some to spare.

Whether intentional or accidental, before he came to Qingyang, he could confidently say he was a good man who loved his wife.

But after that sudden kiss in the restroom stall, he realized the defenses around his heart had begun to crack.

Strangely enough, looks-wise, whether it was Yang Hanqing, Yun Shi Yu, or Zhou Qingyuan, or even Bai Xuechao, Gu Xiangmeng, and Lu Lichun, they were all top choices.

Not to mention Xiao Li and Xiao Bing, even the two Japanese girls, Fujiwara and Furukawa, were more tempting than Ding Jianwei.

In terms of personality, she was not as compliant as Yang Hanqing, as stubborn as Yun Shi Yu, didn’t have Zhou Qingyuan’s enthusiasm, nor could she match Gu Xiangmeng’s liveliness or Lu Lichun’s flirtatiousness.

Even the time she spent with Xiao Ming was the least.

However, in the face of these women, even Zhou Qingyuan, with whom he shared a past life connection, Xiao Ming could stay calm and even cold.

Only with Ding Jianwei.

Only this woman could make him willingly endure, again and again, and step back, again and again.

The reason for this, he also only realized belatedly.

On the gambling boat, Ding Jianwei’s lone-wolf behavior and the words "This is my responsibility" had deeply imprinted in his heart.

If Jiang Xue was the lighthouse where his wandering soul could find respite, then Ding Jianwei was the North Star guiding him through the dark ocean.

The coordinate his conscience wouldn’t easily lose.

Environmental corrosiveness is powerful.

Many soldiers go mad, or even become murderers, after returning from the battlefield because they’ve stayed too long in a high-stress environment that resolves issues through killing, forgetting how to be ordinary people.

The Infinite Society and Red Lotus Society were no places for good people, and Xiao Ming was worried that he might get used to swinging the hammer and start seeing everything as a nail.

Therefore, he needed a reference that is nobly selfless.

Therefore, Ding Jianwei couldn’t come to harm.

Therefore, he wanted to carry as much of Ding Jianwei’s burden as he could, to give her some more ease and keep her farther from danger.

She interpreted this as pity, which wasn’t entirely wrong.

"Can’t even be a proper scumbag, I’m really getting more and more useless!"

After smoking a couple of cigarettes and mockingly slapping his face, Xiao Ming had just gotten up when he heard a knock at the door.

Opening the door, he found An Kefang standing outside.

"Huh? I thought Qingfeng would answer the door!"

Xiao Ming laughed. "What, you’ve got your eye on our Qingfeng? Then you’ll need to be extra careful! Mingyue is not very charitable; remember to check your bed several times at night to see if there are any spiders or centipedes hiding in there."

"How can you be so annoying!"

An Kefang couldn’t help laughing and crying. "I was just wondering why you came to open the door personally. Are you too scared to sleep alone at night now?"

Xiao Ming almost blurted out, "I’ll keep you company," but instead, he smiled and asked, "Did you need something?"

The girl suddenly became serious, looking around sneakily. "Can I talk to you inside?"

Xiao Ming stepped aside. "As long as you’re not afraid of the dangers of a man and a woman alone together."

"You’re really sick in the head, you should see a doctor soon," An Kefang muttered as she entered the room. Once the door was shut, she asked, "Will you have time later?"

"It depends," Xiao Ming didn’t commit.

An Kefang pursed her lips. "I’m here on behalf of my grandfather, he wants to meet with you."

Xiao Ming raised an eyebrow. "Meet me for what?"

"My grandfather said that because Lin Jingyou has abandoned the Hao Family, and Hao Xiangyu’s tongue got cut out, Hao Taixing is ready to go all out against you and even wants to drag the four families into it," she said.
