Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 192: The Safest Place is By My Wife’s Side_1

Chapter 192: Chapter 192: The Safest Place is By My Wife’s Side_1

While Yun Shi Yu was busy grooming herself, Xiao Ming pulled out his phone to check it and, well, there were over thirty missed calls and a dozen messages, all from Zhou Qingyuan.

He felt like he had spent several lifetimes lighting incense and praying to Buddha to marry a wife who wouldn’t check on him constantly, but this girl seemed hell-bent on making up for it.

He sighed, dialed her number back, and as soon as the call connected, a roar came from the other side.

"Where the hell have you been?"

Xiao Ming cleaned his ears, "Watch your language, young lady, or Uncle might give you a slap."

"Come on, then. I would like to give you a slap!" Zhou Qingyuan was furious, "What were you doing last night? Why didn’t you answer my calls?"

"What else could I have been doing? Of course, I was sleeping."

"Sleeping? I started calling you at eight o’clock and didn’t stop until three in the morning... Wait, where did you sleep?"

"Yun Family’s place."

"Yun..." Zhou Qingyuan’s tone suddenly became flustered, "Where at the Yun family’s place?"

"Yu’s bedroom, Yu’s bed. Actually, we just got out of bed, she’s taking a shower right now."

Xiao Ming wasn’t afraid of stirring the pot.

The other end went quiet for a moment before Zhou Qingyuan gave a dry laugh, "Trying to fool me again. The more you say that, the less I believe you.

What’s so great about Yun Shi Yu? Average looks, and her figure is like a ribbonfish. How could you possibly choose her over me?"

"You don’t believe me, huh? Wait a sec, I’ll let her talk to you."

Xiao Ming got up and knocked on the bathroom door, "Yu, Qingyuan doesn’t believe that I stayed over at your place last night, say something to her."

The door cracked open slightly and Yun Shi Yu poked her head out, still steaming from the shower, and said to the phone, "What do I care whether she believes it or not?"

Beep beep beep beep...

The call had ended.

Yun Shi Yu stuck out her tongue, "Isn’t it a bit mean to upset her like this?"

Xiao Ming rolled his eyes, "Do you know your way of speaking is very green tea?"

"What does green tea mean?"

Only then did Xiao Ming remember that the term "green tea" was still just the name of a type of tea.

"Never mind, just hurry up; I’m starving here."

By the time Yun Shi Yu had finished grooming, the sun had fully risen, and as soon as they stepped out of the Embroidery Building, they saw a Yun Family Servant hurrying over.

With a complicated look at Xiao Ming, the servant reported, "Miss, the gatekeeper has informed us that Miss Zhou has arrived, asking to see you."

"Got it."

After sending the servant away, Yun Shi Yu smiled and said, "She doesn’t make a phone call but waits for someone to announce her arrival. It seems Miss Zhou from the Zhou family is quite upset, as if she’s here to challenge us."

"Then fetch me some sunflower seeds later."

"What do you need the seeds for?"

"How can I enjoy the show without something to nibble on when you two start fighting?"

Yun Shi Yu was speechless and turned to leave.

Xiao Ming looked around and asked, "Where are you going? That’s not the way to the main gate, is it?"

"I’m going to drive the car. Miss Zhou is here for you anyway."

Xiao Ming forced a smile, and sauntered over to the Yun family’s main gate, sidestepping the screen wall to see Zhou Qingyuan, who was standing outside the wide-open door.

The girl was standing in the middle of the road with her hands on her hips, exuding a menacing aura as if she was a bandit about to rob a passerby.

Unfortunately, as soon as she saw him, her eyes reddened and her imposing demeanor quickly deflated quite a bit.

"Where’s Yun Shi Yu?" she asked.

"Weren’t you here to see me?" Xiao Ming was a bit surprised.

"Why would I want to see you?"

"That’s good then."

Xiao Ming nodded, walking past her when suddenly a gust of wind attacked the back of his head, shocking him into ducking swiftly to avoid it.

"Damn! Are you trying to kill me?"

Looking at the girl’s long legs as she lowered them, Xiao Ming was sweating profusely.

Zhou Qingyuan’s lips had turned white from biting, "Xiao Ming, haven’t you always been bragging about how much you love your wife?"

"Yes! I still love my wife very much."

"After what you did last night, you still have the nerve to talk about love?"

"What did I do?"

"Now you’re denying it, huh? What did you say on the phone earlier?"

"I just said I slept in Yu’s bedroom." Xiao Ming looked innocent, "What’s the problem with that?"

"Of course, there’s a problem..."

Zhou Qingyuan suddenly stopped, squinted her eyes, "You just slept in Yu’s bedroom, you didn’t sleep with her!"

"Hey! Familiarity apart, if you talk nonsense, I can still sue you for slander."

"I slander your big head!"

Zhou Qingyuan, simultaneously happy and angry, pounced on him, her fists raining down on Xiao Ming.

"Jerk! Scoundrel! Think it’s funny to play me? I was worried sick about your stomach ache all night, and when I finally got in touch with you, you still got mad at me, you... I’ll beat you to death, you big villain!"

Xiao Ming had initially wanted to assert his authority as an elder and lecture the girl, but upon hearing her mention stomach pain, he couldn’t help but sigh silently, crouched down with his head in his arms, and let her vent her frustration.

Zhou Qingyuan developed chronic gastritis due to irregular eating habits while studying abroad. It was usually not a significant issue, but it became easily painful when she was particularly angry, sad, or stressed.

Xiao Ming had known about this in his past life.

After throwing twenty or thirty punches in quick succession, the one throwing the punches was out of breath, while the one being punched stood up, stretched lazily, and said with a sly grin, "Not bad for loosening the bones, next time lad here will pick you again."

Zhou Qingyuan, caught between laughter and anger, wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes, and asked, "Where are you off to next?"

"To eat, then to the city bureau, and probably a trip to Yun Corporation after that. If everything goes as planned, I should be back in Longyin by the afternoon."

"No way!"

Zhou Qingyuan wrapped her arms around Xiao Ming’s arm, "You can’t leave tonight, you must also sleep in my bedroom."

"Huh? Girl, if you’re sick, get treatment quickly; don’t delay it."

In the midst of their conversation, Yun Shi Yu slowly drove up in her Maserati president sedan. Xiao Ming wanted to go over there, but Zhou Qingyuan stubbornly refused to let go of his arm.

Feeling helpless, he could only say to Yun Shi Yu, "You go ahead, I’ll ride with Qingyuan."

"Okay."

Yun Shi Yu behaved especially obediently, her voice soft, and her eyes carried a hint of shyness when looking at Zhou Qingyuan, like that of a newlywed bride on the second morning.

"What’s with the act?" Zhou Qingyuan scorned with a sneer, "You guarded him a whole night and nothing happened; I’m embarrassed for you."

"Are you sure nothing happened at all?"

Yun Shi Yu smiled sweetly, gently pressing the gas pedal and driving off.

Zhou Qingyuan immediately exploded, "What does she mean by that? What did you guys do last night?"

Xiao Ming, too lazy to answer, walked towards her car, and she followed suit. After she got into the car, she didn’t move, just looked at him with a mix of rage and resentment.

Massaging his temple, he said, "Girl, can you stop it? I’m considered your father’s peer, and I have a wife, and I will never betray my wife.

Do you understand?"

Zhou Qingyuan’s gaze dimmed for a moment, her pouty lips starting the engine, "I don’t care! Whatever you give Yun Shi Yu, you have to give me too!

I absolutely cannot lose to her, just you watch!"

Xiao Ming thumped the back of his head against the headrest, wishing he could pass out.

He was truly regretting teasing Zhou Qingyuan now.

He had thought that with the girl’s pride, once she realized she lost to Yun Shi Yu, she would at least gracefully accept defeat, to reduce his troubles in the future.

But unexpectedly, it was like his teasing had unlocked some seal on Yun Shi Yu, turning her from a fairy into a demoness.

Home!

No matter what, he had to get home today.

The outside world was too dangerous; it was safest by his wife’s side.
