Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 173 Loving You More than the Entire World_1

Chapter 173: Chapter 173 Loving You More than the Entire World_1

"A statement of ’two sisters-in-law,’" called Jiang Xue with narrowed eyes, Yang Hanqing with a guilty face, and even Bai Xuechao frowned.

Xiao Ming couldn’t help but laugh and cry.

"Little demon, I think your skin is itching for a fight again."

He flicked Gu Xiangmeng’s forehead and explained, "The first company under my entertainment investment industry is prepared to be managed by Xuechao, a talent agency.

And Meng is the first artist signed by the company.

Don’t be fooled by her seemingly careless demeanor; she actually has extraordinary talent, especially her voice. It would be a pity not to sing."

Jiang Xue’s expression softened.

Still, that saying goes, it’s inevitable for outstanding men to have women around them, and she couldn’t stop that.

In such matters, a man’s attitude is key.

And so far, Xiao Ming had been doing very well.

At this point, Xiao Ming’s phone rang again. He picked it up and said to Yang Hanqing, "Qingyuan has also arrived. Take Xuechao and Meng to the meeting room first, then notify Yu and Siyi. I’ll be right there."

Yang Hanqing nodded, stood up, and led Bai Xuechao and an evidently eager-to-talk Gu Xiangmeng out of the office.

Xiao Ming sat down next to Jiang Xue and asked softly, "Are you angry?"

"I was quite angry at the beginning."

Jiang Xue honestly admitted, "I just felt upset that you had hidden two beauties, big and small, from me.

But after seeing the way you treat them, I’m fine now."

Xiao Ming wrapped his arms around her, resting his forehead against hers, "Really fine?"

Jiang Xue pursed her lips, "Still... still a little bit."

Xiao Ming chuckled, "That’s more like it! My wife isn’t a prime minister; her belly can at most carry two babies, how could it hold a ship?"

"You’re making fun of me again!"

"Not at all. You’re my wife, and jealousy is your God-given and legal right, and being discontent with me is just and proper.

I’m grateful you spoke up instead of being like those dramatic women out there who say they’re fine, leaving everything for the man to guess."

Jiang Xue’s cheeks puffed out like a pufferfish, "Why are all your partners women? Why not find some more like Siyi?

You jerk, tell me the truth, was it because they’re pretty, on purpose?"

"It really wasn’t. At the very beginning, I wanted to invest in Yang Hanqing simply because you were working at Maohe and I wanted to get closer to you, and incidentally make use of Maohe’s real estate qualifications.

You already know how I met Yu and Siyi, because of that stamped paper.

Zhou Qingyuan came with Zhou Jicang; there was no helping that.

As for Bai Xuechao and Gu Xiangmeng, do you remember the night you misunderstood me for stealing the property deed? After I left home that night, I went to pay off gambling debts..."

Leaving out the part about past life memories, Xiao Ming recounted how he met Bai Xuechao and Gu Xiangmeng, then said, "Xuechao’s father is... a senior figure to me, he has been kind to me.

So, I wanted to repay him by pulling her up, helping her make some money, and giving her a affluent life.

Meng is simpler, aside from not wanting her to be ruined by Siyi, I mainly saw potential in her voice and wanted to nurture her into a star, to make big money for me."

As he spoke, Xiao Ming prodded his wife’s pink cheeks teasingly, "Hehe, these are all the women... pshh, I mean, all the women I know, that’s about it. Is there anything else you want to ask?"

Jiang Xue sighed and rested her chin on his shoulder, "Although life is happy now, sometimes I can’t help but think back to those two years prior.

Back then, besides going out to drink and play cards, you only orbited around me, though most of the time it was to nag me and ask for money."

"I still only orbit around you!"

"But they all orbit around you.

Qing is enchanting, Yu is aloof, Zhou Qingyuan is hot, Bai Xuechao is valiant, Gu Xiangmeng is lively; there’s maturity and innocence, each one more beautiful than the last."

"I’m really afraid one day you won’t be able to resist their advances."

"If that happens, I’d rather time rewind to two months ago, even if you were worthless and despondent, you were still my man alone."

Xiao Ming’s heart melted into a complete mess, he felt both heartache and guilt, and also that he was wronged.

"My conscience is clear, I really haven’t done anything!"

"My silly wife!"

He cradled Jiang Xue’s face, seeing her eyes were red, he couldn’t help but tenderly kiss her, "You have to understand, whether a man cheats or not, it’s never about how great the temptation from the outside world is, but whether he wants to or not.

Yes, they are indeed beautiful, each with their own merits, but what does that have to do with me?

To me, you are my everything in this life.

You don’t know how long I’ve prayed to the heavens to have this chance to embrace you again, such a great miracle, how could I possibly ruin it?

A man who doesn’t cherish his blessings deserves to be struck by lightning."

Jiang Xue didn’t catch the deeper meaning in his words, thinking he was talking about the prodigal son returning, considering the hardships of the past two years she also felt that everything she has now was hard-earned.

"Husband, do you love me?"

Xiao Ming smiled: "I love you more than the whole world.

Even if you asked me to give up everything I have now and go home to be a house husband, I would agree without hesitation and savor it.

These are true words, not just to flatter you.

As long as I can wake up every day and see you first thing, even if it’s in hell, I could smile in my dreams."

Jiang Xue smiled, a teardrop falling, and she kissed him firmly on the lips.

In a marriage, it’s not that hard, really—effective communication is key. It’s only a problem when one sulks and won’t listen, and the other is inept at articulating their thoughts.

When the day comes that all energy is drained, when there’s nothing left to say or desire to speak, that spells the end of the road for a relationship, struggling to maintain it becomes torture.

The so-called seven-year itch, infidelities often happen around this time.

After a moment of tenderness, Jiang Xue lost all interest in eavesdropping on the meeting and left straight for the construction site.

Xiao Ming pushed open the door to the conference room and immediately sensed that something was off.

Yang Hanqing had an originally calm and arrogant demeanor, but as soon as she saw him, she turned into the picture of a wronged little wife.

Yun Shi Yu’s face was like an icy mountain, which only thawed from the harsh winter to a sharp spring frost upon his arrival.

Zhou Qingyuan was sitting with one foot on a chair, full of rage, like a bandit king.

Bai Xuechao’s eyes sparkled with a cold light, resembling a mafia godfather from a gangster movie, as if at any moment, he would whip out a pair of machine guns and go on a rampage.

Gu Xiangmeng appeared to be in a trance, her mind seemingly elsewhere.

Only Shen Siyi seemed the most normal and the most excited, clutching his phone tightly, as if he might be secretly recording.

"It seems you’ve all gotten to know each other already."

Xiao Ming smiled warmly as he took his place at the head of the table, glancing from side to side, on one side were Yun, Yang, Zhou, and Shen, and on the other, Bai Xuechao and Gu Xiangmeng, clear as black and white.

He hadn’t felt much before, but now he suddenly felt uncomfortable, as if sitting on pins and needles, under the gaze of ten intense eyes.

"Ahem, Siyi, why are you sitting so far away? Come here, next to me.

Today’s meeting is highly confidential. It’s not suitable for outsiders to be present. You’ll take the minutes!"

Whoosh!

The ten gazes once again turned simultaneously to Shen Siyi.

Shen Siyi shuddered and pulled a long face: "Bro, I haven’t done anything recently to make you mad, have I?

Though brothers should be there to take a knife for each other, you always pick on me to stab, isn’t that a bit... excessive?"
