Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 221: Don’t Test My Patience_1

Xiao Ming woke up to find it was already bright outside the porthole; half of the sea was shimmering with a deep blue luster, casting a dazzling array of colors into the cabin that flickered on and off.

He yawned and casually patted the bottom of the body in his arms, just about to speak, when he suddenly realized something was off.

Xiao Bing was still young and tender; her touch wasn’t this firm.

Lifting his head, the woman in his arms with short hair sleepily opened her eyes and gave him a compressed smile, "Good morning!"

What the heck?

Xiao Ming looked around blankly and saw Xiao Li sitting straight at the edge of the bed, with Xiao Bing beside her, arms crossed and her cheeks puffed out like a blowfish.

"Brother, I just went to the restroom for a sec, and she stole my spot! freēnovelkiss.com

I tried to take it back, but sis wouldn’t let me, saying it would disturb your rest,"

the girl pointed at Ding Jianwei and complained loudly, looking as wronged as one could be.

Xiao Ming scratched his head and asked Ding Jianwei, "Isn’t your room just across?"

"I gave it to Jiang Yang," Ding Jianwei said, evidently still sleepy, and she closed her eyes again.

"And what does that have to do with you sleeping with me?"

"I can’t possibly sleep with my own disciple; that would be inappropriate."

"And what about me?"

"We’re in a relationship where we can discuss whether or not to have sex at any time, aren’t we? Perfectly normal!"

Xiao Ming was speechless.

He reckoned he understood why the more of a playboy you were, the more women liked you.

In his last life, he was a bastard for twenty years, and the only woman who gave him a bit of a headache was Zhou Qingyuan.

Barely managing to want to be an honest man in this life, he still found himself bullied relentlessly.

In conclusion, being a good person just meant taking losses!

"Get up, get up!"

Annoyed, Xiao Ming pushed Ding Jianwei away, climbed up from the makeshift bed, and stretched towards the window.

"You really plan to let Cai Delun go?"

Ding Jianwei propped up her head, her unwashed black dress spread out attractively.

"Cai Delun? Who’s that?"

"The spy leader from the south, F47."

"Of course not. He has seen what I look like."

"That’s what I thought."

Ding Jianwei sat up and naturally extended her arm towards Xiao Ming, and after he helped her up, she continued, "But the guy solemnly swore that you promised on the name of your dearest to let him live."

Xiao Ming sneered, "Last night I only made two promises. One was to let him live and leave this place, where ’this place’ referred to that particular private room.

The other was that the north would never kill him. Even if ’the north’ includes the entire landmass, that’s no problem—we’ll just have Fujiwara Rika take care of it!

Let the Japanese deal with the trouble they’ve created; it’s not my responsibility.

A real man keeps his word; I certainly won’t go back on mine."

Ding Jianwei shook her head, "I’ve gained a whole new understanding of your shamelessness."

Xiao Ming laughed heartily and went into the bathroom to freshen up.

After a while, as he was applying shaving cream, Ding Jianwei, who had already washed up and changed into casual clothes, reappeared, leaning against the door frame, "Can you answer my question now?"

"If I say no, will you let it go?"

"No."

"Then why waste words?"

Ding Jianwei chuckled and asked, "How did you get to know Fujiwara Rika?"

"An old acquaintance," Xiao Ming started up his electric shaver and began to shave his stubble.

"Old acquaintance?" Ding Jianwei frowned, "Given your past record, it seems you didn’t have the status to meet a gambling ship captain, did you?"

"She wasn’t born a captain," he retorted.

"Then why doesn’t she even know your real name?" He paused before continuing, "Even the fact that your surname is Xiao—that was something I accidentally revealed to her. I should apologize for that."

"It’s no big deal. She would’ve found out sooner or later. As for her, I can’t explain it to you. Just think of me as a social genius, or someone with such irresistible charm that women fall for at first sight."

A perplexing expression crossed Ding Jianwei’s face but quickly vanished as she nodded, "Alright! If you don’t want to talk, I won’t ask.

But from what you’re saying, it seems you don’t intend to take credit for intercepting the transaction and capturing the spy either."

"Absolutely not!"

Xiao Ming turned around to look at her seriously and said, "After we return, you must completely erase my involvement in this matter. As for the rest, just make it up. I have never had any intention of being a lackey in my life.

Oh, and Jiang Yang—if he dares to utter a single word about me, I wouldn’t hesitate to dispose of him inhumanely."

"What about me?"

"You?"

Xiao Ming smacked his lips, "Considering you kept me company sleeping half the night, I’ll let you off. Sending you to this gambling ship for life and not letting you leave to become a bunny girl wouldn’t be too bad—it would also do justice to those lovely long legs of yours."

Ding Jianwei smiled, casually took the shaver from his hand, and started shaving him. Her movements were effortless and natural, as if the two were an old married couple who had done this many times before.

But Xiao Ming was not used to it. He was about to speak when the female agent said in a sinister voice, "Be careful, your throat is under my blade."

Before the words had fully left her lips, the temperature in the bathroom seemed to drop suddenly.

Xiao Ming glanced sideways and sure enough, Xiao Li was standing at the door, watching coldly as Ding Jianwei handled the razor.

He was sure that if Ding Jianwei made the slightest unusual move, Xiao Li would dismember her in an instant.

It was something that had been proven in a past life.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Xiao Li, getting Xiao Ming’s nod, went to open it, and in came Fujiwara Rika.

Seeing Ding Jianwei shaving Xiao Ming, a glint flashed in Fujiwara Rika’s eyes as she bent over and greeted, "Master, judging by the time, you should be awake now.

I’ve had the kitchen prepare a generous breakfast. Would you like to enjoy it here or shall I serve you in the dining room?"

Xiao Ming thought for a moment and said, "Have someone bring two masks and two sets of women’s clothing, one for Li and one for Bing; just estimate their sizes."

Fujiwara Rika raised an eyebrow, "Purely estimating might lead to some inaccuracies. If the sizes aren’t right..."

"Li!"

Suddenly, Xiao Ming called out, and a streak of cold light flashed before Fujiwara Rika’s eyes.

As the knife returned to its sheath, Xiao Li emotionlessly capped the drawing tube.

Only then did a strand of black hair fall beside the visibly trembling Fujiwara Rika’s ear.

"Fujiwara, this is your final warning," Xiao Ming continued to tilt his head back to be shaved by Ding Jianwei, speaking in a tone that was neither salty nor light, "everything about you, including how many moles you have on your body, is no secret to me.

Being obedient and compliant is your only chance of living to dream about success. Do not challenge my patience again. Got it?"

Fujiwara Rika swallowed hard and bowed her head, "Ri-Rika understands, thank you for your generosity, Master!"

"Mhm, go and see to it," Xiao Ming responded.

Fujiwara Rika stepped out, and Ding Jianwei said, "She won’t submit that easily."

"No matter," Xiao Ming replied indifferently, "As long as she’s scared enough not to report me this time, it’s fine. She can’t leave the ship for ten years anyway; there’s plenty of time for her to be trained."

After finishing with the shave, Ding Jianwei sighed and said, "I can be one hundred percent certain this is your first time on this ship, but your familiarity with it far exceeds my imagination.

Xiao Ming, even though you’re unwilling to explain, I’m still willing to trust you. I just hope you don’t disappoint me.

I don’t want to have to regard you as an enemy one day in the future!"

Xiao Ming smiled faintly, "As long as the one you serve is the country, and not certain individuals, I can assure you, we will never be enemies."
