Chapter 533 - 507: Piercing Eyes and Stabbing Heart
“Guess…”
Xiao Qian closed her eyes, enjoying the intimate moment with her lover. This was the feeling she was looking for – a satisfaction that could numb a person’s nerves better than alcohol, a sense of belonging that could pull her out of the empathy she felt for her patients.
She needed to ground herself, to escape the heart-wrenching pain her patients brought her.
Hu Meijing was pulled back from despair, but her heart remained in that situation. Yu Minglang’s presence could relieve her of that discomfort.
In her past life, Xiao Qian would also experience emotional lows after work, and she would use alcohol to numb herself. But now she had found a better way to relieve stress.
From the moment he appeared, her heart was at ease.
Their eyes met, the atmosphere was just right.
“Am I interrupting something? Oh dear, have I come at a bad time?”
Zheng Xu entered with two bottles of wine, blatantly admiring the scene, a mischievous smile on his face.
Yu Minglang cursed under his breath, quickly draping the jacket he had just taken off over Xiao Qian. Xiao Qian wasn’t surprised by this, she bet that Zheng Xu had been there the whole time, waiting for the perfect moment to interrupt.
The sneaky smile on his face was irrefutable evidence.
“Go wipe yourself, this is a green business, don’t cause a scene here.” Zheng Xu put the wine on the table and eyed Xiao Qian lazily wearing Yu Minglang’s clothes, feeling a bit irritated.
“I’ll give you guys something cheaper instead. We just got a wine that’s 7 yuan per bottle; it’s perfect for people who can’t control their emotions. Drink it and you’ll suffer a headache the next day.”
Yu Minglang held the wine bottle and didn’t let him take it away, “Save that crap for yourself after you’ve finished playing in a ditch. We’re a decent couple, not like you, a retired third-rate blind drifter.”
“Don’t have time for your nonsense.” Zheng Xu just wanted to tease him and sat next to Xiao Qian.
“Why did you decide to come here today?”
“Not welcome?”
“How could that be? Just next time you come alone, I have some better wine for us to drink together. Don’t bring this one who bites people randomly.” Zheng Xu pointed at Yu Minglang, who was struggling with the cork.
Yu Minglang decided to secretly spit a few mouthfuls into Black Cucumber’s cup while he wasn’t looking when pouring the wine later.
“Zheng Lao’er, aren’t you busy? Aren’t you going to interview beauties anymore? I heard there are so many beauties here, Boss Zheng can’t handle them all!”
“How do you know there are lots of beauties here?” Xiao Qian asked curiously.
Zheng Xu immediately showed an expression of understanding, patting Yu Minglang’s shoulder with a heavy heart.
“I didn’t expect Youngest Brother Yu to be so flirtatious. You have such a beautiful wife at home, but still, think about the outside flower world. Tsk tsk, as the dean’s son, you’ll enjoy free services here in the future!”
“Forget it, no matter how beautiful the world is, it can’t compare to my Qian Bao’s single hair, right Qian Bao?” Yu Minglang pulled Xiao Qian into his arms, asserting his authority.
Meanwhile, he also warned her with his eyes. Once they got home, she would be given a lesson titled “The Importance of Standing on the Right Side”. He and she were family!
“I think I’m quite good, but if you ever get bored at home and want to go out and see the ditches, I won’t stop you.” Xiao Qian finally spoke lazily, having enough of the childishness of the two grown men.
Zheng Xu laughed heartily, and Yu Minglang’s face turned green from envy.
“Are you even my wife?” Yu Minglang’s heart was filled with tons of hurt. How low was his status in the family if even Black Cucumber could laugh at him in front of everyone?
“Haven’t I left half a sentence unfinished? If you go out to experience the flower world, I won’t stop you. I’ll just-” Xiao Qian picked up a Dutch fruit cucumber from the fruit plate and snapped it in half.
Zheng Xu swallowed, reflexively glancing at his private area.
Yu Minglang felt instantly healed, and even proudly snorted with defiance.
“That’s more like it!”
He glanced smugly at Zheng Lao’er. See, my future wife still cares a lot about me!
Zheng Xu rolled his eyes internally. If finding a partner meant losing IQ, he’d rather stay single. Look at Youngest Brother Yu, a once prominent figure, now reduced to bragging and puffing his chest out when threatened by a woman?
How happy could someone be after having a cucumber snapped in front of him?
Love really does make people’s brains go silly.
But ever since Zheng Xu came in with the wine, the atmosphere seemed to head towards an uncontrollable direction.
Zheng Xu’s singing voice was a bit low and sultry, with a hint of playfulness in his husky voice. He sang an old song, serenading Xiao Qian, each line stinging Yu Minglang’s heart.
“Falling in love with someone who never comes home, waiting for a door that never opens, fickle eyes and closed lips, why bother to force it, why ask painfully~”
Yu Minglang sipped his wine, feeling sour to the core by Zheng Xu’s singing.
Listen, listen! What the hell is this song?!
Humming, hawing, and whining, and those sour lyrics – this was just medicine to his eyes in front of Qian Bao!
Wasn’t this hinting at Qian Bao that Yu Minglang was always working and not at home, telling her that marrying him would mean being left alone?
Yu Minglang cast a side-eye at Xiao Qian, feeling a surge of old blood in his heart. Wasn’t this whiny, sour song that delightful to her?!
He couldn’t let others bully him and not fight back. It was time for Zheng Xu to see his invincible side!
