Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 373: Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing_Part 1

"What are you doing?"

Xiao Ming was huddled in the corner of the seat like a fragile girl pushed into a corner by a burly man, his face full of panic, "Don’t mess around, I warn you, I won’t fight back!"

"Pfft... Hahahahaha..."

An Kefang burst into uncontrollable laughter.

At first, she slumped on the seat, holding her stomach, and then she leaned on Xiao Ming’s body, gasping for air, which made him worry that she might actually die from laughing so hard.

As she laughed, An Kefang buried her face in his chest, her small hands gripping his shirt tightly as she sobbed.

Ultimately, today wasn’t just a trip for her to face reality, but also to come to grips with the knowledge that her family was a criminal syndicate.

Subconsciously, she resisted believing Xiao Ming, but as each piece of evidence came forth, every satisfactory answer caused her heart to sink a little further.

Although everything she had seen and heard so far wasn’t enough to prove the sins of the Jiuzhou Ancient Appraisal Association, if she left immediately, she could still cover her ears and eyes.

But she knew she couldn’t do it.

Self-deception requires a lot of courage.

Xiao Ming did not fake innocence by pushing An Kefang away, but he slightly adjusted his sitting position to make her more comfortable. freeweɓnøvel.com

Innocence is a beautiful trait, but also the most vulnerable. An Kefang had been lost and afraid for over a dozen hours; she deserved a good release.

Laughing hard and then crying was good for her.

Shortly after, several police cars whizzed past the window and entered the village.

About twenty minutes later, Qingfeng came back with a grim face, carrying a heavy stench of blood as he sat back in the car.

Only then did An Kefang lift her head from Xiao Ming’s chest, her face tear-streaked and her nose sniffing, bewildered, "What’s that smell?"

"It’s Qingfeng," Xiao Ming answered seriously, "He doesn’t like to bathe, so he smells a bit strong after he sweats."

"Ah?"

An Kefang looked at Qingfeng with pity, "Such a pretty boy, why don’t you keep clean? Let me tell you, girls don’t like dirty men."

"You called me what?" Qingfeng turned around, "Miss An, you’re only about two years older than me, right?

How come after lying in my uncle’s arms for a while, you get a bump in seniority?"

The already tear-stained face of An Kefang instantly bloomed like a peach blossom, she rushed to say, "You... don’t talk nonsense, your uncle and I are friends, so naturally, in front of you, I have to follow his seniority."

"So what should I call you? Auntie? Or Aunt?"

Clueless An Kefang was no match for the crafty Qingfeng. After frowning and puzzling for a long while, her vanity as a woman ultimately won over the notion of seniority.

"Never mind, just call me sister, we’ll each go our own way."

"What?"

Xiao Ming suddenly spoke up, startling the girl.

"What are you doing? Always startling people, are you crazy?"

Xiao Ming’s expression was sad, his voice trembling, "Do you really not have any feelings for me at all?"

An Kefang froze, her peachy cheeks turning the color of bright begonias.

"Mr. Xiao, I’m sorry! I was just too excited earlier and didn’t think too much.

If I caused any misunderstanding, I’m terribly sorry. I’ll be more careful in the future."

"Really, really not a bit?"

"Really, really not a bit."

Xiao Ming let out a sigh of relief, "Then I’m reassured."

An Kefang blinked, and only then did she realize that he was worried she would cling to him.

"You... you’re so annoying! I still really dislike you!"

Xiao Ming chuckled, yawned, and closed his eyes, "Qingfeng, drive! The sooner we get this done, the sooner we can go back and shower. You really do smell disgusting."

Not long after, the car stopped near Ge Tiancheng’s stall.

Xiao Ming got out of the car and walked over.

"Qingfeng, what kind of person is Mr. Xiao?" Watching Xiao Ming’s retreating figure, An Kefang asked.

"What, you really want me to call you Auntie?" Qingfeng replied with a smile.

An Kefang didn’t take the bait, continuing on her own, "I’ve never seen anyone as strange as him.

He looks independent, doing whatever he wants, appearing carefree, but the longer I know him, the more I feel like he’s burdened with a lot.

He doesn’t sit or stand properly, he yawns incessantly, looks lethargic, like someone with kidney deficiency from smoking too much. But somehow, when I see him, I feel an inexplicable sense of security.

You know? This is the first time I’ve ever gone out alone with a man I’ve known for less than a day.

Not to mention that I kissed him in a moment of excitement earlier..."

"What?" Qingfeng turned around in shock, "Did you really kiss him?"

An Kefang quickly explained, "That was just a subconscious action, it doesn’t mean anything."

Qingfeng, not without envy, pursed his lips, "A casual trip out and he gets a new girl to kiss him without any responsibility.

My uncle really has luck that doesn’t make sense. I might as well not have this face."

An Kefang, both annoyed and amused, stamped her foot, "Stop talking nonsense, you haven’t answered my question yet!"

"Him?"

Qingfeng laid back with his hands behind his head, speaking pensively, "As my grandfather would say, he’s got the look of a wolf but the heart of a dog.

Naturally born as a hero in the making, yet afflicted with the poison of heroism.

So, Mrs. An, your feeling is right, he’s carrying too much in his heart, and he will never truly be carefree.

But that’s exactly why we choose to love him, to protect him."

"We?" An Kefang forgot to correct his address.

Qingfeng shook his head, not answering, but instead asked, "Do you know the real purpose of the bet he made with you last night?"
