Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 267 How Big Is Your Ambition_1

"Mr. Xiao, do you need assistance?"

Xiao Ming had not finished urinating when he heard the deliberately coquettish voice of Lu Lichun from behind him.

He wasn’t surprised and asked, "What can you help me with?"

"I can hold it for you. Or, if you prefer, use me as a vessel."

"Ha! Do you always play so dirty?"

"Of course not. Before meeting Mr. Xiao, men were nothing more than toys to me, but after getting to know you, I realized that I have wasted the first thirty years of my womanhood."

Lu Lichun approached, pressing her body against Xiao Ming’s back and was just about to reach forward when she heard him speak with an icy tone, "I don’t just go after women’s looks."

Lu Lichun shuddered, took two steps back, and lowered her head, "I’m sorry, Mr. Xiao, I... I got a little carried away."

Xiao Ming fastened his belt and went to the outer room to wash his hands. Lu Lichun followed step by step, waiting with a heated towel.

After washing his hands and taking the towel, Xiao Ming turned around and leaned against the edge of the washbasin, asking, "Have you ever thought about why you can keep a young lover with such impunity without any rumors ever leaking out?"

Lu Lichun was stunned, and said, "I have always been very cautious and careful about that."

"There is no wall that doesn’t leak air."

Xiao Ming lit a cigarette, "Even if you are careful, you can’t control the desire of those young lovers to share.

Young people like to show off, and even though they know sleeping with a big shot’s woman is risking their lives, they can’t help but brag to their close friends and family.

And it’s often the ’I will absolutely not tell anyone’ kind of people who let secrets slip."

Lu Lichun’s heart skipped a beat, "Do you mean my secrets have already spread?"

"That’s why I asked you why there has been no whisper of it outside."

"Why is that?"

"Because someone has been covering it up for you."

"Who?"

"The person in this world least likely to cover up for you."

Lu Lichun first froze, then her face turned pale, and she staggered against the wall.

The only person in the world least likely to cover up her affair was her husband!

Did her husband know? Then why had he never shown it? And why would he cover up for her?

This didn’t make sense.

Was Xiao Ming bluffing me?

"If you don’t believe me, you can go back and check your M6 and the house where you keep your young lover. See if you can find any GPS tracking devices and bugging equipment."

The moment she heard this, Lu Lichun immediately believed him to some extent, but was also more perplexed.

"I don’t understand. His status is so high; he has no reason to fear my family. Why would he pretend to be unaware?"

"Because although he’s not young, he still has room for advancement, and he absolutely cannot have any issues in his family life.

Meanwhile, he also needs the support of the Lu Family."

"Then he could force me or even threaten me to behave myself, to stay in line. Why would he need to swallow such an insult?"

"No, you’re wrong. Forcing you to stay in line is the real insult.

Because then there would be no reason to vent his anger fiercely."

Lu Lichun startled, "You... you mean..."

"The day he makes another step forward is the day you and the Lu Family will be utterly destroyed."

In his previous life, not long after Xiao Ming had reached an agreement with the Lu Family, the family collapsed, causing him to lose quite a bit of money.

It was only after using the resources of the Infinite Society to investigate that he learned that it was all because of Lu Lichun’s indiscretions.

Her husband, holding such a high position, had endured the humiliation of being cuckolded for over a decade. His scheming and deep calculations were chilling to the bone.

Lu Lichun clutched her chest, trembling uncontrollably for a long time, until suddenly she fell to her knees before Xiao Ming, grasping at his trouser legs and pleading, "Mr. Xiao, please save me. I... I am willing to be at your beck and call in the future.

You can do whatever you want with me! Please, I beg you, save me!"

Xiao Ming looked down at her from above, his eyes devoid of any softness.

"Lu Lichun, I have no interest in making you work like an ox or horse. I told you all this because I want to know one thing."

"Wha.. what thing?"

Xiao Ming tipped her chin up with his foot and asked, "How ambitious are you?"

Lu Lichun’s whole body shuddered, and slowly, she straightened her upper body, her eyes sparkling with sharp intensity.

"As great as Mr. needs, Chun will have!"

Xiao Ming clearly was very satisfied with her answer, smiling and nodding slightly, "You first pretend to know nothing. In a while, find an excuse to deal with the pretty boy’s issue.

Rest assured, your husband won’t make a move for several years.

And as long as you behave, by the time he can freely act, perhaps you will have become the Lu Family Patriarch, or even... a member of the Infinite Society."

By the time he finished speaking, Xiao Ming had already reached the bathroom door, while Lu Lichun, shaking uncontrollably with excitement, couldn’t even stand up.

She could never have imagined that merely trying to curry favor with Xiao Ming, he would directly present her with such a huge gift.

The Lu Family’s main branch had two sons and four daughters, with her being the youngest. From a young age, she knew she had no chance at the position of Family Head, not even the qualifications to compete for it.

It was for this reason she began to numb her discontent and ambition with a dissolute lifestyle.

She thought her life would corrode away, but unexpectedly, an opportunity arose as Xiao Ming came into the picture, and on a whim, she actually hit the jackpot.

Of course, she wasn’t naive enough to think that Xiao Ming had just handed her a pie in the sky.

But he was, after all, an exceedingly powerful man; even if she truly had to work like a slave, the position she would eventually stand on would surely be higher than many so-called "masters."

Second only to one, above tens of thousands, it was far better than having command over only a hundred or a thousand.

When Xiao Ming returned to the private room, Xiao Zhimeng had already eaten to her full and was slumped on the couch with her rounded belly sticking out, while Gu Tinglan was feeding her hawthorn soup spoon by spoon to help her digest.

"Where’s that wanton Lu woman?" Yang Hanqing’s tone was even more sour than the hawthorn soup, "Don’t tell me she can’t walk because you’ve worn her out!"

Xiao Ming looked surprised, "How did you know? Did you follow me?"

Yang Hanqing’s face turned deathly pale, incredulous, she stared at him, "You... you really did something with Lu Lichun...?"

"Did what?"

"Worn her out."

"Yeah! I took her for a roller coaster ride with my words, it wasn’t light wear and tear. When I left, she was kneeling on the ground and couldn’t even get up."

Yang Hanqing’s heart dropped, and she began to pinch Xiao Ming all over in a frenzy.

"Asshole! Bastard! You knew what I was most anxious about and still you scared me on purpose, do you think it’s funny to see me scared?"

Xiao Ming bore the pain with a grimace, "It seems like you quite enjoy your jealousy, maybe you really do find fear amusing!" frёewebnoѵēl.com

"You... is it because I want to be jealous?"

"Isn’t it?"

"Of course not... "

Yang Hanqing suddenly faltered, her expression quickly turning melancholy.

She was not Jiang Xue, and from a standpoint perspective, regardless of who Xiao Ming was with or what he did, she had no right to be jealous, let alone blame Xiao Ming.

In other words, it was indeed voluntary on her part.

After a while, she tugged at Xiao Ming’s sleeve, her voice meek, "Do you have any plans for Lu Lichun?"

Xiao Ming shook his head with a mix of pity and helplessness, sighing, "You’re really hopeless."
