CHAPTER 352: CHAPTER 344: DANGER IS APPROACHING

Jiang Kexin probably never dreamed that tonight she carefully chose her target, yet she still ended up in the wrong place, picking the wrong person.

The fact that it was Leng Lingxiao’s marriage registration that made her feel as though she had fallen into an icy cavern, it was rageful jealousy that clouded her intelligence.

An hour ago, the man who had chatted her up wasn’t some lecher spouting dirty words, she mistakenly thought he was dazzled by her beauty, and looking to make a quick buck from it.

She thought too highly of herself!

This man’s name was Qin Feng, forty years old, astute and capable—not only the owner of ManQ Bar but also an important member of Shen Shiyi.

His level was high, even above Lei Ziyi.

Even Du Jiahao, when he saw him, had to respectfully call him "brother," not due to age but because he had joined the organization earlier and had higher prestige and rank.

Of course, Qin Feng knew about the permanent protection order issued for Tang Xiaowan.

For the money Jiang Kexin offered, Qin Feng barely spared it a glance, to take on this job was merely to steady Jiang Kexin, to prevent her from seeking others and making things more difficult to control.

Quite daring, she’s really asking for trouble!

Qin Feng didn’t linger on these thoughts, immediately dialling a number only key members were aware of, ready to quickly report what had just happened.

Once the call connected, a deep male voice came through, "So late, what is it?"

It was Wang Junchen at Nanfeng Mansion.

Indeed, that vexing electronic sound belonged to him.

Hearing this, Qin Feng immediately lowered his voice, replying softly, "Boss, a dame came into the venue just now, looking to make a move on Tang Xiaowan."

"Who?"

"Jiang Yongheng’s daughter, Jiang Kexin."

As the words fell, Wang Junchen flicked the ash from his cigarette, a fleeting displeasure flashing in his profound eyes.

"The Jiang Family... already struggling to protect themselves, yet they still have the leisure to harm others? Seems like Jiang Yongheng... taught his daughter well!"

Wang Junchen’s mockery carried a chill, and Qin Feng felt a shiver run down his spine.

He knew the boss was angry, so he quickly added, "Jiang Kexin offered a hundred thousand, paid fifty thousand upfront. She said scratch Tang Xiaowan’s face, even finish her off, and keep the recording as evidence."

A burst of cold laughter came from the other end of the line.

Jiang Kexin’s malicious plans undoubtedly reminded Wang Junchen of some old resentment.

His shadowy gaze was chilling.

"Qin Feng, I recall you have a regular customer over there... called Sun Quezi, in his fifties, it’s not easy for him, help set up a match for him."

"This subordinate will make arrangements right away."

"Remember, give a heads-up to Leng Lingxiao beforehand, we did a good deed... we must leave our name."

"Yes, this subordinate understands."

After the call ended, Wang Junchen left the balcony and returned to the bedroom, his gaze softening immediately upon seeing Ye Wanhua still asleep.

He carefully covered his wife with a light blanket, his eyes full of tenderness.

Ah Hua, the day after tomorrow is your birthday.

I wonder if the gift I’ve prepared is to your liking, I think... you should like it.

They had been married for exactly 25 years, but Wang Junchen remained as protective as ever, as if in his heart, Ye Wanhua was still that delicate girl who needed him, even though she was now the founder and general manager of Wanhua Jewelry.

...

The next day, early morning.

Lingxiao Manor was as silent as ever.

When Tang Xiaowan opened her eyes, she realized her sleeping position had changed.

She was lying halfway on top of Leng Lingxiao, clinging to him like a sloth, what’s more troubling was that a strap of her nightgown slipped off, making her seem all the more forward.

What in the world? What’s going on?

So Tang Xiaowan carefully slid off Leng Lingxiao, and seeing he was still asleep, not awakened by the commotion, she tiptoed out of bed and scurried to the bathroom.

What Tang Xiaowan didn’t know was that Leng Lingxiao had an exceptionally tough night.

He had countless fantasies, took countless deep breaths, suppressing and persuading himself every minute and every second.

About two minutes later, a scream came from the bathroom.

Instantly, Leng Lingxiao rushed over, not even bothering to put on slippers, thinking Tang Xiaowan had some sort of accident.

"What’s wrong, Tangtang, are you okay?"

The glass door was shut, he couldn’t see inside.

"It’s nothing, I just slipped by accident, you go back to sleep, I’m fine," Tang Xiaowan explained.

She thought to herself, she really shouldn’t have lied yesterday, deceiving Leng Lingxiao about her menstruation. Now look at what’s happened, seems like karma kicked in, with her wrist twisted, hurting her enough to grimace in pain.

Oh my God, what should I do, what should I do?

Last night during dinner, everyone was still discussing plans to go diving and have fun over the weekend.

Now the plans are all ruined!

While she was feeling depressed, there was another knock at the door and the man’s concerned voice came through again, "Tangtang, are you okay, are you hurt?"

"I’m not hurt, it doesn’t hurt anymore."

Hearing Tang Xiaowan’s loud and clear voice, Leng Lingxiao immediately felt much more relieved. He smiled and went back to the bedside to put on his shoes and robe.

Five minutes later, Leng Lingxiao went to wash up.

Accidentally, he saw a pack of sanitary pads that had been opened and realized that he had misunderstood his Little Wife yesterday. He was instantly filled with guilt.

Indeed, Tangtang was on her period!

Luckily, last night... he behaved himself, otherwise, he would have really been a beast.

Sigh, he shouldn’t have doubted her.

After coming out of the bathroom, Leng Lingxiao immediately switched into full care mode for Tang Xiaowan, adjusting the air conditioning, pouring warm water, doing everything he could think of.

"Tangtang, does it hurt a lot?"

Tang Xiaowan nodded, "Yeah, it hurts a lot."

After a few seconds’ pause, she realized something was wrong and, biting her finger, she corrected herself, "It’s okay now, it doesn’t hurt, not at all."

Her big eyes also flickered.

In fact, the two were talking about completely different things.

Tang Xiaowan didn’t know what was wrong with herself. She used to run around barefoot often and had never fallen, but this time, she had fallen flat on her face and even twisted her wrist, which was so embarrassing.

Sigh, it must have been because she didn’t sleep well last night!

Yes, that must be it.

In the end, Tang Xiaowan blamed it on lack of sleep, completely disregarding the fact that she had been distracted just now, her mind full of thoughts about whether or not she had farted last night.

No, no, she decided to go for a couple of acupuncture needles later, the pain was really too much.

Since a few days ago, after Tang Mei administered acupuncture to Tang Xiaowan and helped her recover some memories, she realized that she actually knew quite a few things.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"It’s nothing, come on, lie down, I’ll go make you some soup. It’ll make you feel better," Leng Lingxiao said gently, covering Tang Xiaowan with the silk quilt.

"No need, no need, just a couple of needles for myself will do the job. Have you forgotten? I know acupuncture, maybe not as skilled as Grandma, but still pretty good."

"Drop it, don’t poke yourself into a mess, soup is safer."

"How could that happen?"

"Be good, just sleep for a bit."

Tang Xiaowan pouted, not convinced, and said, "Don’t you have some meeting to attend? Don’t forget, work is important."

In truth, she wanted to get him out of there quickly.

Leng Lingxiao nodded, "Alright."

"Oh, and I still need to..."

"We got the certificate yesterday. I thought we might... so I went ahead and took two days off for you. Rest easy, tomorrow’s the weekend, and you don’t work until Monday."

Tang Xiaowan: "..."

How excessive!

He’s like a big worm, a super big worm, and she hadn’t even said anything yet.

The bedroom door was then gently closed.

Tang Xiaowan huffed, stuck out her tongue, and still decided to get her acupuncture kit to give herself a couple of needles, as her wrist was in unbearable pain.

Not skilled? Underestimating her!

Just as she was about to reach the cabinet, her phone on the sofa rang.

Ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling...

One ring followed another, incessantly, displaying the words "Old Fox" on the screen. Tang Xiaowan frowned slightly, not wanting to pick up.

"So early! He’s doing it on purpose, right?"

"Ah, at least Huahua is not here, or else there’d be another vat of age-old jealousy!"

"It’s not something urgent, is it?"

Ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling...

Looking at the phone, Tang Xiaowan agonized for a moment and finally pressed the answer button.
