Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 420 Standing Straight When Getting Hit_1

"Really? Boss lady, I’m going undercover, and you’re still insisting on me being lawful? Isn’t that a bit too much?"

The meeting was on the eighth floor, and both elevators were on the first floor, so Xiao Ming and Ding Jianwei stood outside waiting.

"If I were to ask you to strictly abide by the law, I would never have let you off in Cao Bangxi’s case in the first place."

Ding Jianwei shook her head and sighed again, "Don’t think I don’t know, you’re a daredevil, accustomed to doing as you please, treating rules as if they were nothing, and apart from the people close to you, the things you care about can be counted on one hand.

If I gave you even a small opening, you would definitely turn it into a large hole.

To an organization like the Red Lotus Society that defies taboo, in your eyes, they’re just a stepping stone, and I’m very worried that one day I’ll have to lead a team to catch you."

Xiao Ming grinned cheekily, "Do you have a feeling that you’ve accidentally boarded a ship of thieves?"

Ding Jianwei still shook her head, nestling into his embrace, "What I regret most now is forcing you to help me on that gambling ship.

If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have gotten so deeply involved with the Infinite Society, to the point where you end up like this now.

Not public, not private; not black, not white.

No guarantees and just as dangerous."

"Look at you, starting to talk nonsense too?"

He kissed her on the forehead and Xiao Ming said, "After knowing each other for so long, you should understand my nature very well.

I’m ambitious, I can’t stand to be idle, and I’m not good at self-deception. The reason I managed to be an ordinary businessman in the past was only because everything was just beginning and I didn’t have the conditions to run wild.

Actually, I’m not someone who can stay put by nature. It’s just your bad luck that you happened to become one of the excuses for me to indulge myself.

The most important thing is, I’m very fortunate to have met you.

You’re like a beacon star in the night sky, no matter how far off course this ship veers, as long as you’re here, I can always return to the right direction.

You are not only my conscience but also my courage.

Therefore, instead of saying that you ruined me, it would be more accurate to say that you are saving me..."

He didn’t finish his words because Ding Jianwei had already passionately kissed his lips, her hands holding his back very tightly.

At that moment, the elevator ’dinged,’ and the doors slid open to reveal two people inside. Recognizing them, they were first taken aback and then stared in shock.

"Stop... No, shush your mouth!"

A clear reprimand attracted the attention of six eyes, including the person standing next to the girl who had just spoken.

Xiao Ming took a peek inside and could not help but sigh bitterly in his mind.

The one who had called out was Zhou Qingyuan, and the person standing next to her was Yang Hanqing.

Because of the Fanjincheng project and the acquisition of four industries, he had called Yang Hanqing over to deal with it. As for why Zhou Qingyuan appeared, it was unknown.

"You go ahead!"

Ignoring Zhou Qingyuan’s angry stare, Ding Jianwei left Xiao Ming’s embrace.

"We caught quite a few people yesterday, there’s the investigation, interrogation, organizing files, and a bunch of things waiting to be dealt with. I’ll be very busy for the next two days; afterwards, I’ll head out directly, so I won’t come looking for you."

Xiao Ming grabbed her hand, "There’s nothing major happening in Lingnan, what’s the rush? Take a few days off after you’re done!"

Ding Jianwei smiled and shook her head, then tiptoed to give him a light kiss on his face before turning to walk towards the other elevator.

"Stop right there!" Zhou Qingyuan yelled angrily, "You think you can run?"

Ding Jianwei glanced back at her and said indifferently, "Miss Zhou, you’re not a Jiang."

"You..."

"Give it a rest."

Xiao Ming blocked Zhou Qingyuan, who tried to dash out of the elevator, and stepped inside to press the button for his own floor, asking, "Why are you here?"

"If I didn’t come, how would I know you’re a bastard?"

Zhou Qingyuan’s pretty face turned red with anger as she cursed.

Xiao Ming pinched the bridge of his nose and turned to look at Yang Hanqing, "Didn’t I explain everything over the phone? The investment in several industries this time is quite troublesome, why didn’t you bring a secretary or assistant with you?"

Yang Hanqing had never shown defiance in front of him, even if she was heartbroken, she could only show a look of silent grievance, saying softly, "I brought an entire team, seven or eight people.

My secretary couldn’t book a room here, so they had to stay elsewhere."

It was obvious that she had come specifically to see him, and then she happened to witness him kissing another woman.

What a mess.

"Xiao, are you deaf to what the madam is saying?"

Zhou Qingyuan became even angrier, causing Xiao Ming’s ears to ring with her shouting.

"Little madam, can we talk about this in the room, please?"

"Hmph! If we don’t clear this up today, this madam won’t let it go!"

Left with no choice, Xiao Ming could only heave a deep sigh.

To be honest, before coming to Qingyang, he still believed he could be a good husband, but unfortunately, matters of the heart have never been related to reason.

He was guardful and deliberately maintained clear distance from people like Zhou Qingyuan, but inadvertently let Ding Jianwei leave an indelible mark on his heart.

If it weren’t for that long kiss in the restroom stall, he might have taken much longer to realize this.

A man can’t be coy; what’s done is done. He should stand up straight and take responsibility, which he could do, but these days, all he could think about was his wife, Jiang Xue. To be accidentally discovered by Zhou Qingyuan and Yang Hanqing was truly unexpected.

And he even felt guilty towards Zhou Qingyuan. It wasn’t right to soften up to her, nor was it right to become tough.

What a headache.
