Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 381 I know a lot of things_1
Chapter 381: Chapter 381 I know a lot of things_1
Xiao Ming was taken aback and then smiled, nodding, "Okay! Miss An, it was nice to meet you, goodbye!"
An Kefang’s eyes reddened in an instant, and she hurriedly said goodbye before running out the door.
"Now I believe that the coldness you showed me in Lingnan wasn’t deliberate."
Furukawa Shizuka stroked Qing’s body and said, "Even a blind man could see how much that girl needed comfort right now, yet all you said was ’goodbye’.
Your heart is really hard!"
Xiao Ming shook his head: "She’s a foolish girl, and a foolish girl whose family is about to be ruined.
Being hard-hearted towards her now is the greatest form of tenderness."
Furukawa Shizuka turned her face away: "You should know that now, as well as after her family is ruined, are the times when a woman is most vulnerable to being taken advantage of by men."
"I’ve taught her enough today, if she can still be easily deceived by a man, then there’s nothing that can be done.
After all, we were merely strangers who briefly met, and I have no obligation to her."
"At the beginning, did we also meet as strangers?"
"No. That night, I went there with a purpose, and so did you with your plans against me.
We were a mutual mess, jointly heading into the same plight."
Furukawa Shizuka bumped Xiao Ming with her shoulder, but the smile on her face bloomed like a flower.
That afternoon, Xiao Ming, as usual, had Furukawa Shizuka replace him at the treasure appraisal conference, while he took advantage of the empty hotel to walk alone up the stairs to the rooftop.
There was no one on the rooftop, and the cold, damp winter wind from the South made one feel as if they were not wearing any clothes.
Not even halfway through his cigarette, the door leading to the rooftop was pushed open, and a woman in black came out.
It was the former Heaven’s Nun, now the Universal Salvation Venerable, Sophie.
Previously, Xiao Ming had told her to pick a place closer to the Lord, and since the Lord was in heaven, the closest place to heaven in this hotel was naturally the rooftop.
"You even arrived later than I did. It seems, Miss Su, your apology lacks sincerity."
Xiao Ming stood at the edge of the rooftop, facing away from the building. A gentle push from behind would be enough to send him plummeting into a pancake.
Sophie had actually imagined in her head what he would look like dead, then she said coldly, "You just told me to come to the rooftop, you didn’t specify a time." freёnovelkiss.com
"Don’t you understand what sincerity means?" Xiao Ming asked, turning around.
Sophie knitted her brows: "Does that mean no matter when you arrive, I am supposed to wait here endlessly?"
"Yes!" Xiao Ming nodded, "That’s the attitude you should have if you care about your life.
Or are you saying, Miss Su, that you’re not afraid of dying?"
Sophie’s expression darkened: "What’s your relationship with Lucifer?"
"That question is meaningless. Even if he’s my enemy, your identity is enough for us to put our differences aside and become allies."
Sophie had no reply.
Because she was very clear that Xiao Ming was not exaggerating.
Lucifer hated her to the bone and had even announced publicly that he would trade everything he had, including his life, for the opportunity to kill the Heaven’s Nun.
This was also why she had no choice but to abandon her past life and come to Han Country to live in anonymity.
Lucifer was too strong and too terrifying. She didn’t think she had any chance of survival after her whereabouts were exposed.
"So, Mr. Xiao, you haven’t told him about me yet."
A smile tugged at the corner of Xiao Ming’s mouth: "What, thinking of silencing me? You can try."
Sophie clenched her fists and walked over to him. She pulled out a slender pack of ladies’ cigarettes, "Light me up."
Xiao Ming handed over his cigarette, and she lit hers with the tip. Whether intentional or not, the first puff of smoke was blown all over Xiao Ming’s face.
The sweet scent caused Xiao Ming’s brow to furrow slightly. Throwing away his cigarette, he fished out a pack of gum from his pocket and popped two pieces into his mouth.
"I can confirm today is the first time I’ve seen you," Sophie said again. "How did you know I was the Heaven’s Nun?"
"I know many things," Xiao Ming smiled mysteriously, "For instance, the higher-ups in the Red Lotus Society have less and less faith in so-called gods, saints, buddhas, and the like.
Each and every one of you has your own unspeakable goals.
Among them, your aspirations are the most mundane, the most melodramatic.
A woman whose lips have been sampled by thousands, unashamedly promiscuous, is actually sacrificing for love in silence. The irony and laughter of it all are as vast as the sky..."
His words came to an abrupt halt, because Sophie had once again grabbed his throat.
So, he kicked her hard in the stomach, and while she was doubled over, he grabbed her hair and pressed her face against the cold and rough parapet.
"The Heaven’s Nun relies on beauty to kill, not skills,"
Xiao Ming leaned close, pulling the cigarette from Sophie’s mouth, "And when your beauty is no longer useful, you have no more worth than a pile of rotten meat.
With not even this bit of awareness, how dare you assassinate Lucifer’s most cherished kin?"
After speaking, he pressed the cigarette butt into the nape of her neck.
Blue smoke rose along with a faint scent of charred flesh, quickly dispersed by the cold breeze.
Sophie’s entire body was tensed to the extreme, yet she bit her teeth and didn’t utter a word; she really was tough.
Xiao Ming dropped the cigarette, his voice icy: "This is your last act of disrespect towards me.
Otherwise, no matter how much you love that Saint, I will kill you in front of him, and let you truly understand what it feels like to be worse than a pig or a dog."
With that, he was about to release Sophie, when suddenly his body swayed, and he destabilized, sitting down on the rooftop with a thud.
