Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 318: Not Liking It At All_1

"Do you need me to take a look, sir?" Xiao Li spoke up.

Jiang Xue also asked, "What’s wrong?"

Xiao Ming squinted his eyes, and suddenly the corner of his mouth curled up, "Nothing, I thought I recognized someone but it was just a trick of the eye, let’s move on."

Before he could say anything upon reaching Yun Shi Yu and Zhou Qingyuan, Zhou Qingyuan pulled him aside.

Zhou Qingyuan circled around Xiao Li and Xiao Bing, her nose wrinkled in displeasure.

"Well, well, look at you, Mr. Xiao, going out and not only picking up a cute girl but also bringing back two little beauties.

Were you conducting business, or were you out hunting for beauties?"

Xiao Ming had already introduced Xiao Li and Xiao Bing to Jiang Xue via video call, but it was the first time for Yun Shi Yu and Zhou Qingyuan to meet them.

Although they knew that he brought them back from the gambling ship as bodyguards, and that they were girls, they never expected them to be such beautiful and delicate young ladies.

Having felt neglected earlier, Zhou Qingyuan was already quite upset, so now she felt even more wronged.

However, Xiao Ming couldn’t be bothered to answer, simply waving his hand: "Let’s go, time to eat."

Zhou Qingyuan immediately became angry, "Mr. Xiao..."

"Miss Zhou," Xiao Li spoke indifferently, "we are Super Dolls purchased by the sir, responsible only for his safety and daily life. You needn’t concern yourself with us."

"But, my brother is mine. Apart from the main wife, none of you shall succeed!" Xiao Bing loudly declared before she hurriedly ran towards Xiao Ming.

Zhou Qingyuan couldn’t even begin to consider the meaning behind her words, surprised she looked at Xiao Li, "You... You are not merely dolls, but the legendary... Super Dolls?"

"We indeed are Super Dolls. As for being legendary, I am not sure, please forgive me."

After saying this, Xiao Li gave her a curt bow and then also stepped away.

Super Dolls differed from those common plaything-type dolls; nearly every one was a professional at the top of their field, mostly accessible only to the ultra-wealthy and exceedingly rare. Even Zhou Qingyuan had only heard about them and never actually seen one.

As you can imagine, the shock Zhou Qingyuan felt from Xiao Ming bringing back a pair of twin Super Dolls was immense.

"Brother Xiao, how much did you spend on the dolls?"

As soon as they got in the car, Zhou Qingyuan was all smiles, trying to butter him up.

Xiao Ming furrowed his brow, "What do you want to know that for?"

"You have two, just give me one! I’ll pay extra."

Xiao Ming’s face darkened, "What do you think they are?"

Zhou Qingyuan didn’t understand why he was angry, and nervously said, "Aren’t... aren’t they just dolls?"

"So, just because they carry the label ’dolls,’ that means you don’t have to treat them as people?"

"Anyway, you bought them."

"But that doesn’t mean I have the right to dispose of them at will, and it certainly doesn’t give you the right to purchase them!"

The piling frustration from days of longing, without even a single word of kindness upon the meeting, and now being scolded, brought together a mix of grievance and anger that squeezed tears out from Zhou Qingyuan’s eyes.

"You’re scolding me! I’ve missed you for more than two months, and I’ve been dutifully managing the company each day just as you instructed, working hard, and it was not easy to finally see you return, and you can’t even give me a compliment, you scold me instead!

You never told me, so how was I supposed to know you don’t see them as dolls?

Mr. Xiao, you... you’re just a big jerk!"

After finishing, she pulled open the car door, jumped out, and ran off crying.

Jiang Xue sighed deeply, patting Xiao Ming’s hand, "Go check on her. She’s just a girl; don’t let anything happen to her."

But Xiao Ming curtly ordered without a second thought, "Close the door, drive!"

Behind them, Yun Shi Yu got out of another car intending to ask what had happened, but as she approached the business vehicle Xiao Ming was in, she saw it speed off with a puff of exhaust, leaving her frozen in place.

"You were too harsh just now."

In the car, Jiang Xue spoke softly, "Qingyuan has been pampered since she was little, probably never suffered much, and she’s used to solving everything with money.

"If you don’t like it, just explain yourself clearly, what’s the point of getting so angry?"

"Regardless, she’s a high-level executive of the company; hurting the harmony does no good for anyone."

Xiao Ming shook his head: "You don’t understand that girl. She’s incredibly stubborn. Once she sets her mind on something, she won’t let go even if it kills her.

Today she dared to say she misses me in front of you, tomorrow she’d dare to climb into our bed.

Don’t doubt it, she really might do it.

So, if this time we really can hurt each other’s feelings, it’s a good thing both for her and for us."

Hearing her husband speak like this, Jiang Xue naturally felt happy, but at the same time, she also felt puzzled, sensing that her husband seemed different.

The husband she knew in the past was never this hard-hearted.

When Yun Shi Yu found Zhou Qingyuan, the young woman was chugging down a Coke. Approaching, she touched the cup—still a Coke on ice.

"What are you doing, trying to get drunk on caffeine?" she asked with a suppressed laugh.

"Damn airport, why isn’t there a bar?" Zhou Qingyuan banged on the table, gulped down half a glass, and then belched loudly.

Seeing her reddened eyes, Yun Shi Yu sat down, "Come on, the guy you’ve been daydreaming about has finally returned. Instead of pouring your heart out to him, how did you end up fighting?"

Zhou Qingyuan pursed her lips, appearing wronged as she recounted what happened.

"Super Dolls must be really expensive. Even if he really wanted to sell them, I couldn’t afford them. I just wanted an excuse to act coy, but instead, I got scolded.

Yu, he doesn’t like me, not one bit."

Yun Shi Yu sighed: "You’ve known him for so long, don’t you know what kind of person he is?

Although he once told me he wanted to be a good person, I can see that there’s no good person gene in his bones.

Luckily, he’s cold-blooded but not heartless, and that’s exactly why we can’t let go, isn’t it?

His greatest strength is treating everyone like a human being, and his biggest flaw is also treating everyone like a human being.

Those sister dolls from the Xiao family are clearly considered family by him. You just mention spending money to buy them, and it’s no wonder he gets angry."

"So... so that means he can be mean to me?"

"Of course, that’s wrong of him, but from what I know of him, nine times out of ten it was intentional."

Zhou Qingyuan, who had been leaning on the table, suddenly sat upright, "What do you mean?"

"Simple, he was making a mountain out of a molehill."

Yun Shi Yu said, "Remember I told you about the time I drugged him and he passed out?

Before he fell asleep, he said to me, ’Don’t do something that will make me hate you.’

That was the heaviest thing I’ve ever heard him say, and my heart was so pained it almost broke apart. I almost gave up then and there.

But after he woke up, the tenderness he showed me made me change my mind again.

How should I put it?

He doesn’t dislike me; he’s just afraid to like me.

If I just stood quietly by his side, then I believe he would give me anything he could.

But once I push too hard, he’ll immediately show his tough side and stifle any possibilities in their cradle.

You should understand now, Jiang Xue has been pregnant for almost half a year, her belly is so big, and she hasn’t seen her husband for over two months. It’s the time when she’s most emotionally fragile and most in need of comfort, yet you’re pressuring her.

Even if it’s just to keep Jiang Xue from being upset, he’s not going to show you any kindness."

After listening to this long explanation, Zhou Qingyuan blinked back tears, suddenly starting to cry again.

"After all is said and done, he still doesn’t like me, not at all..." frёewebηovel.cѳm

Her voice stopped abruptly because a man sat down next to their table.

The man was holding a magazine, with something bulging in the middle, only a small, dark muzzle showing.
