Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 414 Kill Him_1

"Are you trying to prove your lack of upbringing with your actions?"

Xiao Ming lay still, his tone so cold that it made Furukawa Shizuka tense up.

"Get out and knock on the door!"

There was a flash of fierceness in Jiang Nanxi’s eyes as she bowed her head, backed away, closed the door, and knocked twice.

"Her look just now was scary, eh!" Furukawa Shizuka whispered, "It seems that you’ll have to be tougher with her, sir."

"What, you’re not afraid of me anymore?"

Furukawa Shizuka pursed her lips and smiled, "I’m a bad woman! And in the eyes of a bad woman, all pretty women in the world should be treated by the devil!"

Xiao Ming shook his head speechlessly, stood up, got out of bed, walked out the door, and didn’t even glance at Jiang Nanxi.

"Put the things on the table."

Jiang Nanxi did as she was told, hesitated for a moment, then said, "Sir, I’ve sweated a lot, and I feel uncomfortable. I would like to go back to my room to take a shower."

Xiao Ming opened a pack of cigarettes, pulled one out, and lit it as he looked at her, "What did you say?"

Jiang Nanxi’s lips had turned white from pressing them together so hard, and her fists were tightly clenched. She suddenly saw a spider crawl out from Xiao Ming’s hair, scuttle down his shoulder, and disappear to who knows where, blown by the cool breeze from outside, and with it went the little sense she had managed to maintain.

"Please... Please allow me to go back to my room for a shower."

"Wait a bit longer."

Jiang Nanxi did not speak further, and stood with her head bowed.

Mingyue was extremely surprised, and exchanged glances with Qingfeng, who appeared to be just as bewildered.

About three or four minutes later, a waiter delivering meals arrived, and Xiao Ming asked, "Which one is the ginger soup?"

The waiter lifted the lid of a white porcelain pot, "It’s this one. Does it look okay to you, sir?"

Xiao Ming gestured to Jiang Nanxi, "Add some brown sugar yourself, drink it while it’s hot, and then you may go back to your room."

Jiang Nanxi’s eyes suddenly widened with disbelief, "Sir... sir, you mean..."

"You don’t want to?" freēwēbnovel.com

"No, no, I... Nanxi just doesn’t understand what you mean."

"Although you’re quite skilled and presumably have a strong constitution, going through your period in the middle of winter while wearing so little is simply asking to be punished.

Remember, when you work with me, a healthy body is very important.

Hurry up and drink. Are you waiting for me to look after you?"

"Yes, sir! Thank you, sir!"

Jiang Nanxi quickly took out the brown sugar she had bought, added some to the ginger soup, and then cupped it in her hands. Without minding the heat, she gulped it down until it was empty.

After she left, Furukawa Shizuka wrapped her arms around Xiao Ming’s neck from behind the sofa, and said with admiration, "Sir is indeed sir. I was a little worried just now that you might have been too harsh, but who would have thought it could all be resolved with a simple bowl of ginger soup.

You didn’t see, that touched look in Jiang Nanxi’s eyes when she left. She wouldn’t hesitate to kneel down and lick your feet."

However, she then asked, "But how did you know she was on her period?"

Xiao Ming gave her a light smack on the forehead, "Time to eat!"

How did he know? Of course, he had noticed the outline of a sanitary napkin.

But he couldn’t say that, not with the kids around. It was important to maintain the authority and the air of mystery of an elder.

That afternoon, the Treasure Appraisal Convention, which had just started, was suddenly halted. The organizers were vague in their reasons, but this didn’t stop rumors from wildly spreading among the participants.

The four lifetime chairmen, Hao, Wo, An, and Chang, had been arrested for smuggling cultural relics, and the Jiuzhou Ancient Appraisal Association was facing the danger of being disbanded. A harsh winter was coming for the world of treasure appraisal.

People were anxious, as if a shadow had fallen over the entire sky of Qingyang.

As planned, Furukawa Shizuka went off to bamboozle people, while Xiao Ming took the elevator to the presidential suite at the top floor.

"Is everyone here?" he asked Jiang Nanxi, who greeted him at the door.

"We’re just missing one person, who should be arriving soon."

As Jiang Nanxi spoke, she glanced behind him. Right then, the elevator dinged, the doors opened, and a fat man with a wide face and large ears stepped out.

"Miss Jiang, what’s so important that you couldn’t discuss over the phone and had to drag me all the way here?"

The fat man’s voice was unfriendly, as if he held no regard for Jiang Nanxi; he started berating her the moment he arrived.

"Let me tell you, it better be something very urgent and important, or you’ll regret it!"

A flash of anger sped through the depths of Jiang Nanxi’s eyes. She gestured towards Xiao Ming and said, "Mr. Jiang, this is Mr. Xiao Ming. You should have heard of him by now.

He’s prepared to discuss the issue of stock shares in Hao Xiangyu’s real estate company with you..."

"What’s all this Xiao Ming, Xiao Liang nonsense? I don’t know him! Nor am I interested in discussing stock issues of a company that’s going bankrupt."

The Jiang surname fat man interrupted her, glanced at Xiao Ming condescendingly, and with a sneer, he pushed past him and entered the suite.

Jiang Nanxi frowned, about to say something, but then she heard Xiao Ming ask, "A member of the Jiang Family?"

"He is the nephew of the Jiang Family’s former head butler, in charge of managing the Jiang Family’s properties in the provincial city here."

"So, a relative of an old dog of the Jiang Family can treat you like a dog and instruct you."

"And you expect to gain your father’s approval and become the Jiang Family’s young mistress by doing things this way?"

Jiang Nanxi’s expression froze, and she struggled to say, "It’s my father’s order. I have no choice..."

"Kill him!"

"Wha-, what?"

Xiao Ming stared into her eyes, his tone leaving no room for doubt, "I said, kill him! Now! Immediately!"
