Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 375 Already Lived Long Enough_1

An Kefang watched Qingfeng dash over enthusiastically, then get smacked around like a volleyball by an irate Xiao Ming seven or eight times, before returning, downcast, hugging a dirty cloth bundle.

"What happened?" As soon as they got in the car, she couldn’t help asking, "What suddenly made you act out?"

"That little brat was lying to you just now, don’t believe a single punctuation mark of what he said, understand?" Xiao Ming said, huffing and puffing.

An Kefang was baffled: "Why do you like being seen as a bad guy so much?"

Xiao Ming nodded: "Good guys don’t live long, but scoundrels live for a thousand years."

"The ones that live for a thousand years are turtles."

"You believe I’ll smack you?"

An Kefang laughed again, her eyes curving beautifully, like the sparkling surface of a lake under the autumn sunset.

At the Qingyang Grand Hotel, the morning appraisal meeting had already ended, and many attendees were gathered in the lobby, chatting and networking amidst the chaos.

"Hey! Our bet is off, and you have figured out everything you wanted to, so go do whatever you need to do!"

Once they stepped through the front door, Xiao Ming unceremoniously gave the order to leave.

An Kefang clearly didn’t want to leave, her eyes rolling around: "You have helped me by answering many questions today, and I should express my gratitude. How about I treat you to lunch?"

"No way!" Xiao Ming shook his head, "I haven’t seen my woman for a few hours, and I’m already on the brink of losing it. I’ve got things to do now, no time for lunch."

After saying that, he turned his face and walked away.

"Shameless!"

She cursed at his retreating back and was just about to fret about where to go next when she suddenly saw someone, turned pale, and rushed forward to grab onto Xiao Ming’s arm.

Xiao Ming frowned: "Girl, if you keep taking advantage of me, I’m really going to lose my temper!"

"Help me out, please!" An Kefang pleaded, her eyes darting to the side, "Anyway, that’s what you were planning to do in the first place."

Following her gaze, Xiao Ming couldn’t help but sigh.

The most depressing thing for a man is to be used by a woman as a shield.

Not only are there no benefits, but it also brings trouble.

And as a married man, it’s even more depressing to be surrounded by drama without actually having done anything wrong.

Although not afraid, I’m really not the charitable type who makes friends with every woman!

The person that could make An Kefang look for a shield would naturally be her Xiangyu.

Hao Xiangyu first glared fiercely at Xiao Ming and then turned to An Kefang with deep affection: "Fangfang, about last night, Silei and the others were pressured into talking nonsense.

Though our four families are not noble clans, we are Ancient Appraisal Families with a century of heritage, and you know how strict our family values are. How could we do something that would disgrace our family?

Really, Fangfang, believe me. Xiangyu only has you in his heart; I swear to heaven!"

If Hao Xiangyu had come to explain himself to An Kefang right after last night’s events, it might have actually worked.

But now, An Kefang had already learned more about him and naturally wouldn’t easily believe him.

"Xiang... Mr. Hao, in the past, I was immature and caused you a lot of trouble, sorry!

After spending last night and today with you, I suddenly realized that Ming... my brother is the one who’s more suitable for me.

Please, let the past be the past and don’t bother me anymore, thank you!"

The girl’s expression was calm and her words made sense, it was just a pity that her gaze was a bit erratic, lacking persuasiveness.

Hao Xiangyu, adept at deception, could easily see through this.

"Fangfang, I understand you, and I know you’re speaking out of anger. How about this, give me another chance. Let’s go somewhere quiet, and I’ll explain everything to you.

If you still insist afterward, then I... I will bless you, and I won’t pester you anymore, all right?"

"See? That’s called acting."

Xiao Ming interjected at the right moment, pointing at Hao Xiangyu’s face and saying to An Kefang, "Look closely at his glabella, it’s wrinkled but not quite. It reflects annoyance and impatience inside, while seemingly not daring to rush you, afraid of upsetting you.

Now look at his eyes. Although the emotion is too exaggerated, like a soap opera, the slight redness around his eyes is just right, highlighting his heartache and unwillingness to let go.

And notice his slightly trembling lips... wait, they weren’t trembling just now!

Hao, you’re not professional, pal. I wasn’t done explaining to Xiao Anzi. Who told you to change your expression? Quick, change it back for me!"

No sooner had the words left his lips than An Kefang couldn’t help but snort with laughter, the confusion stirred up by Hao Xiangyu’s words instantly settling down.

This guy was actually quite funny; if only he didn’t have such a terrible personality.

She couldn’t help but think.

The laughter was like a needle piercing sharply into Hao Xiangyu’s pride.

Before, he didn’t believe An Kefang could fall for someone else so quickly, so he came forth with his honest feelings, completely overlooking Xiao Ming.

But at this moment, his confidence began to waver.

Because the An Kefang of the past would often look at him with that exact same admiring gaze, for many years.

"Xiao Ming, I’m talking to my girlfriend, would you..."

Xiao Ming’s cane swirled, and the tip struck Hao Xiangyu in the face.

There was a slap, not very painful, but enough to shatter his already fragile ego.

"Xiao Ming!"

He growled through gritted teeth, "You really think Jiang Nanxi will protect you, so I don’t dare to finish you off?"

Xiao Ming spread his hands: "Just stop talking big and start acting. I have too many women; my body can’t handle it; I’m tired of living anyway."

"Go to hell..."

Hao Xiangyu threw a punch, but with another slap, he was struck by the cane, stumbling and almost falling down.

Xiao Ming, no longer wanting to see this fly, flicked his wrist intending to break his leg.

However, just then, a sharp punch came speeding in from the side. His expression tightened as he raised his cane to block.

Bang!

He was knocked back two steps, pain shooting up his previously injured leg. If it weren’t for quickly leaning on his cane, he might have made a spectacle of himself in front of everyone.
