Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 439 Proud Jiang Xue_1
Chapter 439: Chapter 439 Proud Jiang Xue_1
Xiao Ming’s heart warmed, and he said, "Xue’er, I..."
"Stop right there!"
Seeing what he was about to say, Jiang Xue covered his mouth, "I don’t want to be the person who leaves you with regrets!
I want you to think only of the good when you think of me; to be unable to let go, to always owe me."
She paused, then kissed him on the face, "Alright, don’t worry too much, I’m not as upset as you think.
Ding Jianwei is not an ordinary woman. I can feel that love is not her top priority. Her pursuing you was just to find a haven for her heart.
That is to say, your relationship with her is more like that of comrades on the battlefield who can be utterly candid with each other.
Just like soulmates. I can accept that.
Of course, you can’t sacrifice too much for her because you belong to me and our child. Understand?"
Having said that, Jiang Xue stood up and walked toward the door, "I’m going to see how Li and Bing have arranged things for the kitten and to comfort Mengmeng as well. Our emotions during dinner might have scared her.
You should hurry and take a bath to relieve the fatigue, and afterwards, you can tell me about the details of what life would be like without me.
Even though that’d be quite pitiful for you, I love hearing it."
After his wife’s figure disappeared outside the door, Xiao Ming sat dumbfounded for a while before he realized he had been tricked.
To be precise, Jiang Xue never saw Ding Jianwei as a threat and was clear that their relationship wasn’t traditional in a romantic sense.
What truly frightened her and what she wanted to understand was how different the current Xiao Ming was from the husband in her memories.
That’s why she had initially said she felt insecure and asked, "If I died, what would your life become?"
Obviously, the perceptive and sensitive Jiang Xue had long noticed Xiao Ming’s abnormality.
This "abnormality" wasn’t Xiao Ming’s sudden burst of business talent, but rather the change in his emotional state.
Xiao Ming had amassed twenty years of yearning and remorse in his past life, and once he had the chance for redemption, he was so preoccupied with trying to make amends that he neglected the fact that too intense of emotions could also scare someone.
Jiang Xue couldn’t understand, so she used Ding Jianwei as a pretext to coax out the deepest secret in his heart. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Although she posed it as a hypothetical, Xiao Ming knew that Jiang Xue could certainly discern the truth from it.
Thinking carefully, how could Jiang Xue, who could make the original boss, Yang Hanqing, humble and obedient, possibly be a weak woman easily blinded by jealousy?
The phrase "I love hearing it" before she left the room was enough to show that she was ready to fully engage with Xiao Ming’s world.
She wanted to stand above Ding Jianwei, to become his closest comrade.
You are mine!
Confident and proud.
Upon realizing all this, Xiao Ming shook his head with a bitter smile.
No matter what kind of transformation Jiang Xue was about to undergo, she was still the wife he deeply loved, and he’d have to continue loving her, even if it meant kneeling.
Just as he got up to go to the bathroom for a bath, his phone suddenly rang. He took it out and saw that the caller display was Bai Xuechao, so he answered, "What’s happened?"
"Just now, a brother from the street told me that the new big shot in Jiangnan District, Liu Xudong, has put the word out: he wants the life of your whole family," Bai Xuechao said with a grave tone, "Do you need me to take care of him?"
Xiao Ming frowned slightly, at a loss as to where Liu Xudong had mustered such audacity, but he didn’t care in the slightest.
His current opponents were either aristocratic families or mysterious organizations; a small-time thug leader wasn’t worthy of his attention.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "No need, you’re about to go legit, you can’t fail at the last minute.
Arrange for a couple of sharp brothers to head to the south side and find a man named Li Jianchao. Just inform me when it’s time."
"Alright, I’ll see to it."
With those words, Bai Xuechao hesitated before asking, "Has the master returned?"
"Yes, I got back this evening."
"Then... if you have time the day after tomorrow, would you like to visit the recording studio and check on Meng’s progress?"
Xiao Ming, who had just somewhat settled the matter with Ding Jianwei, dared not get close to another woman interested in him.
Moreover, if he went and ran into Zhou Qingyuan again, it would be even more troublesome.
After a brief hesitation, he said, "I won’t have much free time before the new year, but we’ve discussed Meng’s debut many times before. Just handle it. I trust your ability."
"Oh, then I won’t disturb your rest, sir."
Xiao Ming pretended not to hear the disappointment in Bai Xuechao’s voice and ended the call after agreeing.
That night, as he lay in bed holding Jiang Xue, he began to recount the last twenty years of his previous life based on hypotheticals.
Although he only picked the important events and omitted many key people and his cause of death, it still took four days of intermittent storytelling to barely finish.
As he expected, afterwards Jiang Xue did not ask too many questions, only expressing her intention to take on the role of director of the cultural relics recovery fund after giving birth, and she intensified her efforts to win over Sha Lang and Xing.
Xiao Ming knew this was his wife’s decision, not a discussion; aside from agreeing, he had no other choice.
What he didn’t anticipate was that Jiang Xue’s restlessness, or rather her talent for breaking the rules, was by no means inferior to his, and even Furukawa Shizuka ended up willingly working under her command.
Of course, all these were matters that followed later.
Two days later, Bai Xuechao sent news that Li Jianchao had been found.
