Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 321: I’m Here to Kill You (Part 1)

"Ah? Why?"

Xiao Ming was a bit dumbfounded.

If the surprise turned into regret in the end, he figured he would just jump off the building. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

"Because he let me design the house exactly as I wanted," Jiang Xue said with a furrowed brow and a bitter face, "I’ve always been very happy, feeling that I had finally met a client who let me fully unleash my talents.

But walking around with you today, I suddenly realized that this place is the home I’ve always wanted, with every corner being what I’ve dreamed of.

Thinking that it will soon belong to someone else makes my heart feel as if it’s been scooped out, empty and desolate.

Even if we turn around and buy a new house, I might not be able to design such a satisfying home again.

Husband, what should we do?"

The near six-month pregnant woman displayed a girlish demeanor. Xiao Ming, dazzled and enchanted, could only think of Gu Xiangmeng’s words from earlier: It’s a unique charm.

"Since this is the home you’ve always wanted, then it’s your home."

"You’re brushing me off!"

Although Jiang Xue indeed liked this place very much, as a designer, it wasn’t possible for her to run out of inspiration after designing a place she desired. Her words were merely an act of coquetry toward her husband, venting the feelings of longing from the past two months.

Therefore, hearing Xiao Ming’s response, which didn’t even qualify as a decent attempt to pamper her, she felt a little let down. She huffed, turning her face to one side.

"Seeing you, about to be a mother, throwing a tantrum like a child, I don’t know whether to be happy or scared."

Xiao Ming got up, walked around in front of Jiang Xue, knelt on one knee, and lifted a velvet-wrapped box. Smiling, he asked under his wife’s puzzled gaze, "Dear Jiang Xue, four years later, I ask you again, will you allow me to build a family with you?"

As he spoke, he opened the box, which astonishingly contained a key.

Jiang Xue was both moved and confused. Just as she was about to ask, she suddenly recognized the key. Hurriedly, she fished out a similar one from her bag. Upon comparing them, she couldn’t help but cover her mouth, as tears of joy welled up in her eyes.

"This... this place..."

"My silly wife, aside from your husband, who would let you decorate a house as if it were your own?"

"Husband!"

Jiang Xue cried out in exultation, hugging Xiao Ming tightly. Joy exploded in her chest, her words becoming incoherent.

"You jerk! You big jerk! You’ve always liked to tease me, from the moment we first met, and even now that I’m carrying your child, you’re still teasing me.

I hate it, I hate it... Ah! I’m so happy! I feel like shouting!

Husband, I... I..."

"Stay calm, stay calm!"

Xiao Ming chuckled as he patted her back, "Our baby already has awareness, you can’t get too excited.

Besides, you haven’t answered if you’re willing yet!"

"Knowing I shouldn’t get too excited, you still provoke me—I really want to answer ’unwilling’!"

She playfully hit him, then Jiang Xue wiped away her tears and picked up the key from the box, holding it close to her chest, looking around with a smile that she couldn’t straighten out.

"Husband, I feel like I’m dreaming, you must never ever let me wake up!"

"Rest assured."

Xiao Ming rested his face on her stomach, listening to the faint stirrings of the child, and said tenderly and firmly, "If this is indeed a dream, then nobody can make us wake up, not even the heavens!"

Jiang Xue gently stroked his hair, her eyes tender as water. Without a word, she savored the fullness of happiness within her chest.

Behind them, Xiao Bing stood with hands behind his back, carefully surveying the surroundings, muttering to himself: "So I’m going to live here from now on?"

Xiao Li turned his face and said coldly, "The master deeply loves the mistress, if you dare to mess around, I will kill you immediately!"

Xiao Bing pouted her mouth and did not respond.

The couple enjoyed a quiet, intimate moment, when Jiang Xue suddenly exclaimed, "It’s getting late, shouldn’t we hurry to find a moving company?"

"You can’t wait even one night?" Xiao Ming teased.

Jiang Xue pinched him embarrassedly, "Jerk, do you really think I’m that naive? I didn’t know before, but now that the house has become ours, you asking Tinglan and Mengmeng to rest at Qing’s place clearly shows you were planning on moving in tonight!"

"You are indeed a little naive." Xiao Ming smiled, "We lack nothing here, including a full set of kitchenware. The furniture at home can’t possibly be moved over, at most some bedding and clothes. Do we really need a moving company?"

"Hate you!"

Pushing her husband away, Jiang Xue stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, staring into the distant sky, then said despondently after a moment, "Based on the nearby housing prices, this place must be worth at least ten million.

Ridiculous that I thought you were working at the construction site all this time, you must have secretly laughed at me behind my back."

"My conscience is clear!"

Xiao Ming embraced her from behind, "Back then, all I could think of was giving you a big surprise, to show you that I had amended my ways, capable of taking care of you and the child. I didn’t dare to so much as laugh at you; I was too busy trying to win you over."

Jiang Xue closed her eyes, leaning against him, "You’re the silly one. The moment I saw you dirty from work at the construction site, I had already forgiven you.

Even in the past two years, when you were at your most decadent and gambling, I was only heartbroken and disappointed, never resentful.

Because I knew that you were also suffering inside, and as long as you woke up from your confusion and started afresh, whether wealthy or not, you would still be the husband who deeply loves me."

Remembering the consequences of his previous life’s decadence, Xiao Ming’s heart ached unspeakably, so he held his wife even tighter.

"Xue’er, I’m sorry!"

Jiang Xue chuckled, then deliberately put on a stern face and interrogated, "What, did you do something wrong in Lingnan?"

"Er... nearly did."

It was just a casual question, meant to shift the sorrowful mood, but to her shock, she actually hit upon a real issue. Jiang Xue turned around in alarm.

"Explain yourself, what did you do? What does ’nearly’ mean?"

"Don’t be nervous, I wasn’t planning on keeping it from you, and you can be completely reassured, your husband’s chastity is intact, I’ll tell you everything when we lie in bed tonight after I’m done with everything," he replied.

"Then tell me, was it Hanqing?"

"No, but I did kiss her."

"You..."

Jiang Xue was a bit angry but didn’t know what to say. Just then, her phone buzzed with a message, so she stepped heavily on Xiao Ming’s shoe.

Xiao Ming clutched his leg and yelped in pain, while Jiang Xue, unbothered, took out her phone and read the message, surprised, "It’s Qingyuan, she’s downstairs and says she wants to talk to me."

Xiao Ming immediately recovered from the pain, furrowing his brow, "What is that girl up to? Tell her to come up; otherwise, she can keep it to herself."

Jiang Xue thought for a moment, then shook her head, "I’d better go down. Maybe she’s come to her senses. If you’re there, a few words could lead to an argument, and the situation would only get worse."

"Then let Li follow you. From now on, unless you’re sleeping, bathing, or using the toilet, you cannot leave her sight, got it?"

"Got it, my lord!"

After kissing Xiao Ming on the face and pinching him again, Jiang Xue left with Xiao Li.

Xiao Ming took out his phone to call Yang Hanqing, planning to have her send Mengmeng and Gu Tinglan over, but before he could speak after the call connected, an icy and unfamiliar male voice came through the earpiece.

"Xiao Ming, I’ve come to kill you!"
