Urban All-Round Master

Chapter 1315: Chapter 1349: Wife Sets a Trap for Her Husband

”Don’t laugh, you really guessed that one right.”

Nangong Bing’s lips curved playfully, her tone mysterious, ”You always told me you were working for the Martial Arts world and your work was secretive. To prove it with your skills, there aren’t many in Zhonghai as impressive as my husband, right?”

”You’re really flattering me.”

Lin Zifeng looked at her, completely taken aback.

This flattery felt pretty good.

”Isn’t it obvious? You managed to disguise yourself so well, even I was fooled back then, and till now you present yourself as the Death God. You’ve almost charmed Liu Ruyan and the others senseless. Aren’t you doing all this for certain purposes?”

”Also, the rise of the Huayu Group is so incredibly fast, buying out a publicly listed financial company just like that. Even a fool can see it. For someone with such great ability, how could there be no backing? And someone with such a background naturally connects back to you.”

”Why?” Lin Zifeng was so shocked his jaw nearly hit the floor, not expecting his wife to be this smart.

”Because you always said you’re working for the Martial Arts world. Besides such a colossal entity, who else could have such a background?”

”Uh.”

At this moment, Lin Zifeng finally understood what it means to predict like a deity and what wisdom truly is.

No wonder she never asked much about the Huayu Group. It turns out she already knew about his little secret with the Huayu Group.

”Alright then, can you tell me the purpose of founding the Huayu Group now? Initially, I really wanted to ask, but then I thought maybe it’s best not to. If you wanted to tell me, you would have, asking too much means you’d just lie to me anyway.”

”Hey, hey, hey, it’s fine to show off your IQ, but must you hit my self-esteem while doing it? At least give me some face, alright?” Lin Zifeng was sweating, wiping the cold sweat off his forehead. It was too terrifying.

All along, Lin Zifeng thought Nangong Bing was a genius urban woman focusing on business. He didn’t expect her brain to work so well.

”Oh? So what I just said is true?”

”Hmm?!” Lin Zifeng widened his eyes and turned to glare at her, ”Were you just guessing?”

Oh wow! Could she have just been guessing all along?

Did I just sell myself out?

”Haha, half and half.” She crossed her arms, looking as if nothing can be hidden from her.

Lin Zifeng, do you think you can hide your little secrets from my sharp eyes?

Before, I just didn’t want to expose you, but now I’ve barely dug a small pit, and you’ve already jumped right in. It’s hard not to let you fall in.

It turns out, intelligence can be a weakness too.

As she thought about it, Nangong Bing felt more and more pleased.

”You...”

Lin Zifeng was so angry his fingers trembled, almost spitting blood in reverse out of fury.

”You actually dug a pit to trap me?”

Lin Zifeng glared, looking more upset than he would be from eating dead children.

”Just mutual, right? You often set traps for me to fall into. What is this? I’m just collecting some of the principal, I haven’t even calculated the real interest yet.”

Pfft—

His face, already green, turned from red to dark blue, and then to a shade of purple.

”Alright, alright. Since it’s already out in the open, what else do you have to hide?”

Nangong Bing enjoyed this feeling, especially seeing Lin at a disadvantage in front of her; she found it particularly cute.

”Hide? You’ve already trapped me once, do you want me to fall into another of your traps?”

Come on, do you really think I’m that gullible?

No wonder when I first said I was the person behind Huayu Group, she remained calm. She knew she was testing me.

”Hey, hey, Lin. We’re married now. Don’t make it sound so bad. What’s trapping? I’m just doing it for your own good. If it were anyone else, even if they begged me, Nangong Bing, I wouldn’t even glance their way. What? You’re hopping mad because I didn’t make you kneel and sing ’Conquer’? Wow, can’t believe it. You’ve been hiding it from me for so long, and now you’re upset just because I dug a tiny little pit for you.”

You can’t keep calm now? Yet you’ve lied to me for so long, and I’ve never lost my temper with you, right?”

”Uh...”

Lin Zifeng had to admit, he’s deceived her many times, and the number of times is something even he couldn’t count.

”Go on, since I’m in a good mood today. It’s only the Huayu Group, no big deal. When I feel better and am at peace, I might just acquire your Huayu Group. With some good management, it could be listed in the United States in a few months. When you issue stocks, those people behind you will be ever so grateful to you.”

”Can we continue chatting happily?” Lin Zifeng’s face drooped, looking very displeased.

”Yes, why not. We can always have a good chat.” Nangong Bing laughed. Over these few days of meditating through the guidance of Star Ring, her mindset had shifted from the old icy cold to something a bit more cheerful. ”Tell me, why are you doing all this?”

”To protect!”

Lin Zifeng almost blurted out without thinking.

”To protect?”

Lin Zifeng, Lin Zifeng, you’re using such a silly reason to try to deceive me? Couldn’t you come up with something fresher?

”Yes, to protect.” Lin Zifeng said with no expression, ”To protect the four elements a man must safeguard in his lifetime.”

”...”

Nangong Bing was speechless.

”The ground under my feet, the woman in my arms, the brothers by my side, and my closest family. These four things are my greatest wishes in life.” He spoke with an air of indignation.

In Nangong Bing’s eyes, what initially seemed like a grand and sacred thing, seemed almost as crude as crafting primitive arrows when he said it with that expression.

”Then why did you keep it from me before?”

”Wasn’t it for your sake?”

”For my sake? For my sake, you came up with a story so unbelievable that even you don’t buy it, just to earn my trust?”

Nangong Bing let out a cold, disdainful laugh.

”Hey, hey, enough. Nangong Bing, let’s chat normally. You’ve already started the conflict with me, if we keep going, it’ll turn personal. This issue is done, next, I need to tell you something important. Don’t interrupt, listen first, then you can scold or negotiate with me.”
