Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 1149: Chapter 1121: Using Lifelong Mastery to Evade Husband’s Thunderous Wrath

Yu Minglang held back his strength, not hitting hard, knowing he could beat Hu Zi to death if he went all out.

But despite this, Hu Zi still ended up beaten to a pulp.

Hu Zi felt he was about to cough up blood, finally speaking with difficulty while lying on the ground when Yu Minglang stopped hitting him.

”Brother! I’m on your side! I was sent by the higher-ups!”

Yu Minglang withdrew his hand and snorted.

”Since that’s the case, I’ll spare you. Go back and send my regards to him.”

”Alright...” Hu Zi said weakly, letting out a long sigh of relief, finally the beating was over!

Qian rolled her eyes, wondering if Hu Zi was missing a few screws.

Yu Minglang’s response clearly showed that he already knew Hu Zi’s identity, and he deliberately punched him each time Hu Zi revealed it, which was definitely suspicious!

The problem was that Qian didn’t know where her plan had gone wrong, how Minglang saw through her flawless scheme.

Once Yu Minglang had dealt with things, he fixed Qian with a sharp look. Knowing she was at fault, Qian obediently bowed her head, standing like she was willing to accept criticism. She understood deceiving her husband with such commotion might anger Yu Minglang, and doubt he would let her off easily.

Qian decided to throw away her dignity; if he exploded, she’d roll her eyes and pretend to faint.

She didn’t believe he would call her out in front of everyone like that!

Once home with the doors closed, if he wanted to get angry, she’d just take her clothes off and stand before him. If he could still get mad, then she’d lose!

In this situation, Qian thought being thick-skinned was okay, as long as it calmed Minglang’s anger.

Before Qian could faint, Yu Minglang’s communication device rang.

”What? He escaped? What are you doing over there, so many people couldn’t catch one person?”

The airport reported that Nong Yao had escaped.

A massive operation had been set up, and somehow, the guy disappeared in broad daylight.

Even though Yu Minglang knew all this was orchestrated by his wife, Qio Yu Xuan’s email couldn’t be taken lightly. He planned to meet Nong Yao just to be safe.

Though his wife behaved like a feisty little dog, taking on everything, including her own husband, he couldn’t let her take the risk despite his annoyance.

Unexpectedly, Nong Yao got away.

Seeing his furrowed brow, Qian quickly stepped forward, feigning a gentle and virtuous demeanor, and gently smoothed the lines between his brows with her hand.

”What’s wrong? Is it troublesome? Your work is important, focus on that first~”

Then she conveniently packed her bags and fled to her in-laws for shelter, haha~

Yu Minglang shot her a glance, thinking she’s stretching it; the bill will be settled back home!

Feeling guilty, Qian lowered her head to avoid his stare, and coincidentally, her recently restarted phone rang.

”Hello, Aka...”

”Qian, where are you?”

”I’m by the dock, what’s up?”

”I need to see you right away!”

”Okay, meet at my place in half an hour.” Qian immediately invited Aka, while inwardly laughed heartily.

Haha, she didn’t believe that with a guest at home, Minglang would confront her. Having Aka hang around a bit would give time for his anger to cool down.

Using all her lifetime skills to evade her husband’s wrath, Qian realized how much knowledge equates to power in these moments.

Yu Minglang was annoyed about Nong Yao’s escape, but seeing that mischievous glimmer in her eyes made him feel both angry and amused.

He had to keep a straight face, not letting this little trickster get too smug.

Qian feigned seriousness as she cleared her throat, ”Husband, I know you’re busy with work. Look, while exercising, we uncovered a cultural relic smuggling incident, the artifacts are right there in the back. Hurry, have them taken out and report back to your unit, this is a major issue!”

”Exercising?!” Yu Minglang squinted dangerously, realizing she really knows how to make excuses!

Qian blinked, ”Isn’t it an exercise? I was verbally authorized to assist, mainly to test everyone’s quick response, see how well everyone reacted, and we even uncovered the antique smuggling incident in the process!”

She implied that he should quickly report back to his unit and avoid chilling his poor wife, hoping to use the capture of Pao’s gang as a bargaining chip to mitigate her punishment from Yu Minglang.

”I’ll go home with you.”

Sadly, Yu Minglang wasn’t falling for it.

Qian widened her eyes in shock, ”That’s against protocols!”

”You played dirty with me first.” Yu Minglang stepped forward, pinching Qian’s delicate chin, asking with a dangerous tone, ”Learned to play this trick with me, huh?”

Qian didn’t dare utter a word, as Yu Minglang was still at the peak of his anger.

Hu Zi beside them had hoped to play the hero rescuing the beauty, but Yu Minglang’s angry presence was overly intimidating. After much mental prep, Hu Zi finally mustered the courage to step forward, but before he could speak, Yu Minglang shouted ”Everyone, out!”

Then, he lowered his head...

In that moment alone, she was in his arms, and only then could his restless heart find peace.

She wouldn’t know how much turmoil he’d been in during this period, full of doubts yet despite them all, stepping into a trap for love without hesitation, unable to bear even the slightest risk of losing her. When she was kidnapped, only God knew how tense he had been.

Even knowing it might’ve been fake, he couldn’t control his anxiety, experiencing greater trepidation than all the rescue missions he’d participated in combined.

It’s all because of her! Yu Minglang felt it was time to settle this score!

Nobody knew exactly what transpired between Yu Minglang and Qian in the warehouse.

When Yu Minglang and his wife emerged individually, he was fuming while she was blushing, a stark contrast.

What unspeakable things occurred could only be deciphered by these two.

”Write a 5000-word reflection on this incident and submit it to me.” Yu Minglang instructed Qiao Zhen, then gracefully departed with Qian, ignoring Qiao Zhen’s stunned expression.

”5000 words... this is absolutely personal vendetta!” Qiao Zhen shook his head, but his expression was relaxed.

To help Yu Minglang, he’d write even 50,000 words.

Only uncertain about what happens to Qian on returning home; though her intention was to save Yu Minglang, Qiao Zhen knew Yu Minglang’s strong personality and his aversion to deceit, even benevolent lies, wouldn’t make things easy for Qian.

This stunt she pulled stirred up a lot, involving the higher-ups and almost driving Yu Minglang to illness.

Watching Qian’s slight frame, Qiao Zhen silently prayed for her, hoping when he sees her tomorrow, she wouldn’t have been afflicted by Yu Minglang’s rage — wait, he seemed to have thought of something strange?

Qiao Zhen stroked his chin, whimsically speculating.
