Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 239 Save Mom and Little Meng_1

Xiao Ming gave up on the idea of unmasking the "shirt thief".

The face of a woman is always more valuable than a piece of clothing, especially since the person had compensated him with an even more expensive and better one.

Not long after he returned to the suite by elevator, there was a knock on the door. The hotel manager, beaming with a group of people, expressed to him that it was an honor for the hotel to host a hero and insisted on waiving the room fee as a sign of respect.

Xiao Ming was not surprised at the hotel’s well-informed status but, after some thought, he declined the offer.

After all, he was staying in the presidential suite, which cost tens of thousands a night, and he worried the hotel might print a huge photo of him and hang it on the wall afterward.

To sell his image rights for a discount of a hundred thousand or two was not something he was cheap enough to do.

After several rounds of polite refusals, Xiao Ming only agreed to accept complimentary meals and the privileges of a diamond-level hotel membership.

However, before the manager left, Yang Hanqing left her own mobile number with him and stated that she was Xiao Ming’s personal secretary.

The manager of a five-star hotel naturally understood her implication.

The hotel already had the responsibility to protect the privacy of its guests, but such matters depended on the situation, just like how celebrities could always be tracked down by paparazzi no matter how well they hid.

By giving her phone number, Yang Hanqing was telling the manager not to casually disclose Xiao Ming’s personal contact information and to contact her for any matters.

This way nobody was put in a difficult position. You scratch my back, I scratch yours. If Xiao Ming still got harassed after this, it would mean the hotel wasn’t showing him respect. Word would get out, and other celebrities might think twice before staying there in the future.

After closing the door, Yang Hanqing turned around to find Xiao Ming looking at her with a strange expression and couldn’t help but ask, "What’s wrong?"

Xiao Ming shook his head, "Stop pretending to be foolish in front of me in the future. It’s tiring, and you always end up being scolded by me. Is that fun for you?"

Yang Hanqing pouted, "Isn’t it all because you bullied me the first time we met? My heart flutters when I see you, and I turn foolish even if I’m not."

"Well then, it seems I have to meet with you less often."

Yang Hanqing became unhappy, huffily grabbed her suitcase, and asked, "Which room am I sleeping in?"

Xiao Ming pointed to the right, "That one is yours."

But Yang Hanqing looked to the left, "What about the one next to the master bedroom?"

"That’s mine and my sister’s."

Xiao Bing stood up, put her hands on her hips, and adopted a stance that said she was ready to fight if challenged for her room.

Yang Hanqing’s lips curled into a proud smirk as she glanced at her dismissively before turning to walk to the right.

"She... she was looking down on me just now, wasn’t she!" Xiao Bing exclaimed, furious.

"Stand there..." Xiao Ming pulled her into his arms, "Stop it. She had no intention of fighting you for the room; what’s there to get excited about?"

"Then why did she ask you about the room next to yours?"

"Of course, to make sure that you and Li aren’t sleeping in my room tonight!"

Xiao Bing blinked her eyes and immediately declared loudly, "I want to sleep with my brother tonight."

Xiao Ming rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on, just as his phone rang, so he no longer paid attention to the protective little girl.

The call was from Jiang Xue, who immediately asked anxiously upon connecting, "Are you alright? Did you get hurt?"

Xiao Ming was very surprised, "How did you find out so quickly? Who told you?"

"Nobody told me. I wasn’t busy with work today, so I was browsing idly and decided to check the news from Lingnan, then I saw the report about the incident at the airport.

There is even a video of you rescuing someone online. Although it’s blurry and the camera is shaky, I recognized you at a glance."

Browsing Lingnan news idly was, of course, because she was missing her husband.

Xiao Ming’s heart instantly melted into a puddle: "Xue’er, I’ve missed you."

"I’ve missed you too."

Jiang Xue responded softly, then became serious, "However, don’t think you can get away with things by saying nice things.

It was so dangerous! Just watching the news scared me to death, how could you just rush in like that, do you even have me and the baby in my belly in your heart?"

By the end, her voice was laced with tears.

Xiao Ming, of course, felt heartbroken. He made vows and swore for a long while, finally managing to stop his wife’s sobs.

"Actually, it was precisely because I thought of you and our child that I had to do it."

He spoke again in a soft voice, "That was a very vicious assassin who didn’t care about human life at all, to him, a child was no different from a puppy or a kitten.

At that moment, I thought, if I did nothing, when our child asks why in the future, how would I answer?

Would I have to tell her that I didn’t step in because I was too afraid to be her dad, making her think it was her fault? Absolutely not.

I want our child to be proud of me, to feel that not only does she have the most loving mom in the world, but also a dad who’s like a superhero.

Xue’er, I’m sorry! Making you worry about me from so far away, for the child’s sake, please don’t be angry with me, alright?"

Jiang Xue sobbed uncontrollably: "Xiao, can you come back early after you’re done with work? I’m cold at night without you to hold me."

"Of course! As soon as I finish, I promise I’ll rush back without stopping to keep you company."

The couple exchanged a few more tender and sweet words, making Jiang Xue laugh before ending the call.

No sooner had he hung up than the phone rang again. It was Yun Shi Yu calling for the same reason as Jiang Xue, having seen the news report about the airport hostage situation.

Then came Zhou Qingyuan, Bai Xuechao, and Gu Xiangmeng, and even Shen Siyi called at the end.

With them, Xiao Ming didn’t have the same patience as he did with Jiang Xue. Not only did he not offer much of an explanation, but he also lectured each of them, which made Yang Hanqing, who had eavesdropped, feel all sorts of fortunate.

Lucky he was there, otherwise, if he were lectured from such a distance, who knows how aggrieved he would have felt.

Meanwhile, Gu Zhimeng was also feeling wronged.

Her mother had clearly brought her to see Grandpa, but an aunt not only stopped her mother from entering the ward but also slapped her.

In the end, when her father came out, he didn’t stand up for her mother, only calling her into the ward. She wanted to call her mother to come too, but was harshly scolded, and her mother told her to behave.

Only after entering the ward was she just touched on the face by Grandpa when suddenly someone yanked her away, then chaos ensued with lots of shouting and screaming.

Later, the doctors arrived, and she was sent out, and not long after, crying could be heard from the ward.

Her mother said Grandpa had died. freёweɓnovel.com

Just as she was about to ask if they could go home, the aunt rushed out and slapped her hard, cursing her as the harbinger of death.

Her mother fought with the aunt, some people helped the aunt, but no one helped her mom. She wanted to go up and protect her mother but was tripped over by someone’s foot.

It hurt so much!

If only Uncle Xiao were here, he’s so powerful, he would definitely defeat all these bad people.

Right, the phone! Mom has Uncle’s number in her mobile!

Gu Zhimeng raised her head and saw her mother surrounded by several women, with disheveled hair and torn clothes.

The shrieking and cursing of the women made her more scared. She hurried to her mother’s purse, dug out the phone, found the number, dialed it, and then burst into tears.

"Uncle! Please come save Mom and Little Meng..."
