Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 406 Defeat and Achievement_1

"Oh, I’ll get you another roommate, one with a robust physique and a big quilt to share. Would you like that?"

"I think you have quite the robust physique."

Smack!

Ding Jianwei swung his hand and gave Xiao Ming a hefty slap, leaving him dazed.

Immediately after, his neck was seized, and then he was completely engulfed by a fiery kiss.

In the police surveillance room, the duty officer watching the monitors was so shocked his jaw nearly dropped.

Out of the blue, he felt a whack on the back of his head. Turning around, he saw Jiang Yang standing behind him.

"Bro Jiang, isn’t it a bit inappropriate for Ding to be doing this...?"

"You don’t know shit! That’s not some suspect; that’s our own brother.

The task on the gambling boat was completed risking our lives under his leadership, along with Master and me. He’s a capable guy who was personally praised by the top brass, got it?"

Glancing at the two passionately kissing on the screen, Jiang Yang’s lips curled slightly, but then he smacked his colleague again.

"Do something productive. Stop watching, turn off the surveillance, and delete the videos.

I’m warning you, that person isn’t just my ’Master’s wife’ but also a key figure in a major case. If I hear any gossip spreading outside, don’t blame me for not showing mercy."

After an indeterminate amount of time, the interrogation room suddenly echoed with a sharp slap that sounded like a smack across the forehead—it had befallen Xiao Ming.

"What are you flinching for? Got fleas on you?"

"Big sis, could you let me go before you kiss me? Or at least extend the handcuff chain a bit? Being fixed in place like this is really uncomfortable."

Watching Xiao Ming’s pitiful expression, Ding Jianwei finally showed a smile, pulling out keys to unlock him while lamenting, "When I first met you, I would have never believed that one day you’d become such a wimp."

Xiao Ming rolled his eyes: "Nonsense! You don’t have the kind of face that makes me fall in love at first sight. Why the hell should I act timid right after we met?"

Smack!

Another smack landed on his forehead.

Letting him go, Ding Jianwei returned to the interrogation table, took out a cigarette, and lit it up before asking, "Where’s Jiang Nanxi?"

"Why do you ask?" Xiao Ming rubbed his wrists as he walked over and sat on the table. "Didn’t we agree that we’d only go after the four families this time and not touch the Red Lotus Society?"

"Jiang Nanxi attempted to murder Cui Zhibo and is essentially rebelling. Capturing her isn’t breaking the plan."

Taking the cigarette from her mouth for a puff, Xiao Ming said, "Precisely because she’s rebelling, she’s more likely to be of use to me.

Being a stand-in for Saint is easy, but controlling the Red Lotus Society is hard. Jiang Nanxi, as the Ten Residence Honored One is familiar with the group, so she’s perfect to serve under me."

"You, huh!"

Ding Jianwei leaned against him. "Didn’t the adults warn you when you were a child? Playing with fire can lead to wetting the bed."

Xiao Ming smiled: "If it happens, so be it. I have you to wash the bedding for me; I’m not afraid."

"You still might get a beating."

Xiao Ming stretched his arms to embrace Ding Jianwei, "Let me say something shameless, I quite enjoy it when you get physical with me.

But try not to hit my face anymore, okay? Leave me some dignity."

"From now on I’m only going to hit your face. If you have the guts, hit me back." Ding Jianwei’s tone was full of provocation.

Xiao Ming conceded in frustration, "Then... at least do it when nobody’s around. That’s my bottom line; I can’t back down any further."

Ding Jianwei’s stern gaze instantly softened, her face nestling into his neck, "Ever since we met again on the gambling boat, you’ve been indulging me. No matter how coldly you speak, you always fulfill my requests.

Ming, I’ve never shown you my vulnerable side, and I don’t carry the ’small woman’ gene in my bones. I even planned to use you at the beginning.

Why do you respond to me with the posture of a protector?

Do you know how much I hate the way you dote on me unconditionally?

Because as soon as I think of it, my legs feel as though they’re filled with lead, and I can’t summon the courage I had when I risked everything to get on the gambling boat.

You’ve proven just how ridiculous my vow to have ’my career as my lifelong partner’ was.

I’ve lost my calm and my nerve; my first instinct when faced with danger is to think of you, afraid I might never see you again.

Yet when I do see you, I get inexplicably angry, especially when you give me that cheap smile—I really, really want to punch you in the nose."

"And after you hit me?" Xiao Ming asked with a smile, "Do you start doubting life when you kiss me?"

Ding Jianwei smiled and planted a gentle kiss on his cheek, then left his embrace.

"If you think you can corrode my heart with affection, forcing me to stay away from danger, then you underestimate Ding Jianwei.

Not long after you left Lingnan, I was ambushed.

The situation was very dangerous. I was even prepared to die to ensure my colleagues’ safety, but I couldn’t find peace in my heart.

I was scared and unwilling. It took a long time to finally be attracted to a man, and I hadn’t even slept with him yet. How could I just die like that?

Then I realized that the fear of death could also bring courage, a courage more resolute than any I’ve had before.

Because now I had a goal, someone I wanted to see, someone I’d risk my life to meet!"

Xiao Ming was touched and exasperated, his heart melting.

"Commander Sister, you’re incredible!

This is the first time in my life I feel such a strong sense of defeat, and yet, I’m also brimming with a sense of achievement.

Traveling the world is fun; don’t you really want to try it?"

Ding Jianwei shook her head: "I just want to experience what it’s like to protect you, instead of being protected by you."
