Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss
Chapter 759 - 733: Activating the High-IQ Husband-and-Wife Chain Trap Mode
Qian saw Mai standing by the road holding a bouquet of roses. It seemed he hadn’t noticed the thrilling scene that had just occurred; he was paying the taxi fare. Could it be that those two left because of Mai?
Logically, that didn’t make sense. If Mai wanted to make a good impression on her, he should seize this opportunity to play the hero. Why was Mai acting as if nothing happened?
Qian felt the situation was particularly suspicious. No matter how she analyzed it, the logic didn’t add up.
Mai adjusted the bouquet, revealing what he thought was a perfect flirtatious smile, and approached Qian with deep affection.
He had practiced these few steps for a long time!
With a snowy white suit, a hairstyle styled with wax to perfection, and a super perfect smile, at this moment the summer breeze blew across the bangs he purposely left loose. Mai seemed to feel Qian would soon be entranced by him.
A car sped quickly toward them, splashing the roadside puddle, leaving Mai’s white suit evenly dotted with mud, and his face too...
The car screeched to a halt just ahead. Mai was furious and ready to go over and see who was so shameless to ruin his perfect romantic moment.
It turned out that the man who jumped out of the car was Yu Minglang. Mai didn’t hesitate to clutch his bouquet and swiftly turn around, yelling, "Hey! Taxi, take me away!"
Why does every time he tries to flirt, Yu Minglang has to meddle? How is this guy so fast... After jumping into the taxi and fleeing, Mai thought ruefully.
Yu Minglang had heard Qian was in danger just as he was about to pick her up from school, so he was able to rush over quickly.
When he jumped out of the car in a hurry, he saw the shattered glass of his wife’s Xiaohong’s car on the ground, with blood on the floor too, and his heart skipped a beat.
"Qian, are you hurt?"
"I’m fine. Akka got injured protecting me."
Qian felt reassured when she saw him arrive.
"Where are they?" Yu Minglang, brimming with murderous intent, couldn’t let anyone hurt his wife and get away with it.
"They ran in that direction. I remember the license plate. It’s been about three minutes since they left," Qian pointed north.
"Get in the car, I’ll take you to catch them!"
Qian threw her car keys to Akka.
"You drive my car back."
Akka looked at the car with its shattered glass and held her stomach.
"I’m still injured... Is this how you treat someone who helped you?"
She thought the couple would kindly drive her back after she fought for Qian, but now she’s aching all over.
"Your merits and faults can’t offset each other. At most, I will retaliate less against you in the future." Despite Akka’s help, Qian hasn’t forgotten her sneaky eavesdropping with a listening device.
Thinking about Akka hearing her and Xiaoqiang’s indescribable sounds, Qian’s sentiment towards the blonde wasn’t good.
"My wife doesn’t like other women sitting in my car. I’ve noted this incident, and we’ll discuss it later." Yu Minglang nodded to Akka. His attitude towards those who helped his wife was noticeably better, despite Akka’s mysterious background.
Only after the couple drove off in Yu Minglang’s car did Akka clutch her stomach and, conflicted, look at Qian’s car with its smashed window. Did she really have to drive herself back, boohoo!
After painstakingly clearing the car, she sat in the driver’s seat and called her boss.
"Boss... I demand a raise. I almost got killed... Two strong men suddenly wanted to hit your precious little Qian out of nowhere! I heroically protected her and got beaten half to death. Please raise my pay!"
"How is she?"
"Her man saved her... They went after those two men in black, but I’m injured!"
"Men in black? Has she provoked anyone recently?"
"No, recently she did mess with a gay man planning a sham marriage, but I think she handled it well. I’m sure that family won’t dare retaliate against her. These two men in black look like Mahadi’s men; they really look like foreigners."
"Are you sure they looked like foreigners?"
"Yeah, two violent burly guys ready to fight without a word. Your little darling suddenly went into action and took one down, and once they saw Mai, they ran away. Then her impressive man descended from the sky and took her to chase them. I’m confused; Qian didn’t call him, so how did he show up? And they didn’t say they’d take me with them, just leaving me with this mess of a broken car..."
"Are you saying she left the car for you to drive?"
"Yes, the glass is smashed, pieces everywhere. Oops! She forgot her phone. Boss, shall I check her phone for any information?"
"...Stop all eavesdropping activities. Just follow her and protect her. From now on, be cautious in speech and actions, and I’m deducting a month’s bonus!"
"Why!" Akka felt like vomiting blood again, how was it so hard to earn a little money?
"Because you idiot, you probably fell for Qian’s tricks eighty percent of the time; it’d serve you right if you got dumber! Couldn’t you have gotten out of the car to call me?"
"My stomach hurts..."
"Cheap, obsolete agents are unreliable; it’s not unreasonable to deduct your salary!" The boss felt speechless. He couldn’t understand why he hired such a person to be around Qian. Couldn’t you get out of the car to call me?
Yu Minglang was able to descend from the skies just in time to save Qian because he had a listening device on her, and their exclusion of Akka was perhaps a trap, and this silly deer fell right into it, too foolish!
"Deductions are for dimwits..." Akka muttered softly; she had recently lost a lot of money!
"Does using such language sound pleasant from a girl?" The boss expressed disdain.
"Come on! ’Dimwit’ is Qian’s favorite insult; she fluently uses it!"
"...When listened to closely, this word carries a refined aura mingled with an earthy feel, vast and grand yet retaining depth, while insultingly avoiding vulgarity. Not bad."
Wow! Such a quick change! Akka felt unfairly treated.
"Boss, why do you indulge Qian so much? What relationship do you two have?"
"Don’t ask what you shouldn’t."
The boss hung up, thinking the conversation Akka just had might have already been overheard by Qian and Yu Minglang. He wasn’t at all nervous; instead, he wore a look of anticipation.
This clever little girl should already be suspicious of Akka. What surprises will Qian bring him? He eagerly anticipated the day they’d meet again.
In the car, Yu Minglang took off the Bluetooth headset and frowned.
"What’s wrong?" Qian asked Yu Minglang.
"Something’s off; Akka isn’t Mai’s person."
As expected, with Qian only suggesting Akka drive the car back, Yu Minglang had already cooperated with Qian to start a high-IQ couple trap mode.
After being eavesdropped on by Akka for so long, it was time to retaliate.
But the outcome this time surprised Yu Minglang.
"Can’t be, right?"
"When she was on the phone, the way she addressed her ’boss’ didn’t sound as if she was in cahoots with Mai. Besides, she asked a very odd question at the end. She asked that mysterious person why they indulged you, what relationship they had with you. Do you think if it were Mai, she would ask that?"
