Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 722: Chapter 696: What Is a Ferocious Beast?

After a few rounds, Liumei rubbed her temples in frustration, grumbling.

”If only I had played that card, sis, you would have won again!”

Qian smiled slightly, ”I just don’t like losing, thanks for letting me win.”

Mai watched this scene, suddenly feeling a bit sentimental. Narcissus and Qian together, two completely different women, one with great financial power, the other with incomparable intelligence. If he hadn’t chosen Narcissus as his target back then and chose Chen Xiaoqian instead, would he be less passive now?

Although Qian wasn’t as rich as Narcissus, having a woman like her with him, wouldn’t he be like a tiger with wings? If he had chosen Chen Xiaoqian at the time, would she choose him or Xiaoqiang?

Mai fell into deep confusion, contemplating what kind of woman he really needed.

”When someone thinks of the word ’if,’ it means they’ve already lost. Only those incapable of resolving future troubles will think of ’if’. The greatest lie in this world is ’if’.”

Yu Minglang seemed to be replying to Narcissus, but his eyes were on Mai, mocking as he spoke.

This Mai was really shameless, still pondering which one to choose? Haha, he couldn’t have any of them. The wife is his, and the wife’s woman is hers — oops, brainwashed by the wife again, the wife’s woman is Daodao’s! Yu Minglang’s eyes met Mai’s, whose thoughts were just laid bare, and then he slowly extended his middle finger...

Mai, who was deep in thought, was shaken by Yu Minglang’s indirect taunt and was enraged by his provocative gesture.

This man was declaring war!

”While the women play cards, should we have a match?”

If he weren’t afraid of losing to Yu Minglang, Mai really wanted to shout loudly, bring it on!

But having experienced Yu Minglang’s fists, Mai didn’t dare agree easily, so he snorted and turned his head haughtily.

”Oh, scared eh, little brother is still little brother.”

”A basket is still a basket.” Qian, multitasking while playing cards, assumed Yu Minglang was playing the rhyming word game with her again, played a king bomb, and responded smoothly.

”Wife, mind your wording, you’re a lady!” Yu Minglang said with a smile, gently brushing away Qian’s stray hair.

”I meant a basketball hoop’s ’basket’, is there a problem with that word?” Qian pretended to be innocent.

”Well, it’s not my wife’s fault for not knowing. My wife is such a gentle high-level intellectual, she truly doesn’t understand these lowly street slang. This word, like ’little brother’, refers to a certain male organ, dear don’t say it again.”

”So fake...” Even Narcissus couldn’t stand it.

She was sure this couple was teaming up to put on an act to annoy poor Mai.

Sure enough, Mai was greatly stimulated.

Previously, Qian had mentioned this ambiguous word many times, and even if Mai didn’t understand what it meant, he had been brainwashed. He never expected to avoid the term ’basket’ defiled by Qian, only to fall into ’little brother’?

No escape from Qian’s gentle dagger!

”The meaning of little brother is—” Mai was deeply hit.

”Don’t think wrongly.” Yu Minglang said with words, but his face seemed to tell Mai, oh yes, you didn’t think wrong, that’s exactly what it means!

Being called that all day! Mai felt his inner emotions were coming out of control, he really wanted to beat Yu Minglang if he could manage to.

Shooting a hateful glance, Mai stormed off with anger, while a mocking gleam shone in Minglang’s deep eyes, thinking this kind can still dream about getting his wife? Haha!

Feeling Qian’s gaze on him, Minglang turned his head, his thick eyebrows softening gently.

”What’s up?”

”I think people really need comparisons. Compared to him, you’re really mature.”

Qian’s genuine praise only resulted in an arrogant huff, ”Comparing me to him, you want to insult my intelligence?”

”Saplings grow into towering trees one day; how he is now doesn’t determine his future. Just as you now, maybe in a decade or so, you’ll become a man of few words.”

”You think I talk too much?” Lang was stimulated.

Qian touched his face, saying no more.

Witnessing the future then looking at the present, Qian suddenly wanted to know what happened in the next decade that turned a naive Mai into such an outstanding leader, and what happened to make Yu Minglang, tough on the outside and tender on the inside, become so silent.

Narcissus watched the interaction between Yu Minglang and Qian, setting down her cards with a heavy heart.

”You don’t need to worry, he doesn’t have the ability to harm me, you are safe here.” Minglang saw through Narcissus’ worries, directly stating the burden on her mind.

Narcissus widened her eyes in surprise, gesturing to her ear, indicating that Mai might be eavesdropping.

”It’s beyond eavesdropping range, he’s using a frequency tuning eavesdropping method, effective range is between 120m—150m, given his injured walking speed, he’s already beyond this.”

”You already figured it out?” Narcissus felt a sense of relief, ever since Qian hinted that she was being listened to, she felt uneasy. No one likes the feeling of being monitored at every move.

”Don’t think about anything, I’ll take good care of you.” This was a promise Daodao made to Minglang, and Minglang would ensure it was fulfilled.

From Qian’s perspective, Narcissus was her sister. From Xiaoqiang’s angle, she was Daodao’s wife, and he had promised Daodao to protect Narcissus perfectly.

”You two were working together to irritate him, just to make him leave? No wonder.” Narcissus sighed at Qian and Xiaoqiang’s level of understanding, able to predict each other’s moves without prior notice. It was like when she first met Qian; the Meiqiang duo seamlessly coordinated without communication, amusing themselves by bullying Dalong.

Poor Dalong, even now he doesn’t know what happened back then, two academic achievers torturing an academic outcast, no, an academic scapegrace.

”Liumei, you go stand guard, don’t let anyone else come over, I have something to tell Narcissus—right, take your phone with you.”

Yu Minglang sent Liumei to keep watch, while explaining things to Narcissus, Lang, who was considering everything, didn’t forget to manage time. Glancing at the time, Ma Lv should have discussed with his parents to give Liumei a call by now.

Minglang, with a serious expression, spoke to Narcissus.

”I came for two reasons this time. The first is the mission codenamed Beasts of Flood, from now on I need your cooperation.”

”Beasts of Flood...?” Narcissus immediately thought of the scene where Mai was dealt with by Qian, indeed like a sheep being toyed by a wolf, the wolf was Qian and Mai the little lamb; does such a person deserve the term Beasts of Flood?
