Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 1200: Chapter 1172: Wifey’s Up to Mischief Again (Monthly Ticket 1400+ Update)

”My husband’s intuition and tactical mind are unparalleled, whereas I analyze this from a professional perspective. She’s not running away because she’s worried about her father; her eyes tell me she doesn’t care about this place—she just needs time to get away.”

”Mr. Chen, what makes you say that?” Someone was not convinced, thinking that they could come and go as they pleased?

When Yu Minglang said earlier that Mu Xiaofeng was going to run, these people were not happy but didn’t dare challenge Yu Minglang. Now that Qian said this, they still didn’t dare argue with Yu Minglang, but they dared to question Qian.

”By a professional psychologist’s assessment. Are you satisfied with this conclusion?” Qian glanced at the speaker, whose face was somewhat familiar. She smirked mischievously, and Yu Minglang immediately knew his wife was up to some mischief.

”You psychologists are all talk, trying to bluff people; nothing you say can hold up to scrutiny.” The person wasn’t convinced.

”Then let me tell you something that’s not a bluff. You should apply to your supervisor not to always work night shifts because you are currently experiencing psychological issues due to night shifts— specifically, night shift depression caused by being awake at night and asleep during the day. Have you been feeling down and losing your appetite recently?”

The person took a deep breath, ”Oh my god, that’s amazing!”

After leaving, Yu Minglang asked Qian.

”How did you know he had night shift depression?”

Qian gave a mysterious smile.

She had seen him in her past life; this kind of cheat couldn’t be revealed.

The benefit of having a cheat is that you can just happen to meet someone you interacted with in a previous life, and use any leverage to confuse them.

Snow began to fall outside, large flakes scattered around. When they arrived back home, Qian didn’t rush into the building but stood in the courtyard admiring the night snow.

Afraid that she would be cold, Yu Minglang came over to put her hat on properly.

”Xiaoqiang, turn on the headlights. I want to watch for a while.”

The headlights came on, making the snowy night look different. The snow under the lights appeared beautiful, while the snow in the darkness had another kind of feel.

Heavy snow fell quietly, which by dawn would cover the world with a unique coat. After watching quietly for a while, Qian finally spoke.

”I think Mu Xiaofeng is like another me. It’s like the snow coming from the sky but looking so different under the light compared to within the darkness. Why does it appear so different?”

Yu Minglang thought Qian was experiencing the same issue as before. Whenever she treated patients, if she empathized too much, she would struggle to move past it.

Just like the time she dealt with that flawed personality villain, she herself was affected for about three days. Xiaoqiang was ready to comfort her, but then he saw Qian laughing, looking particularly happy.

”But at this moment, I’m really thankful to heaven. Thank you for providing me with a smooth path where I’ve met my family, my lover, and my child.”

”Eh...? Why are you suddenly at peace with yourself?” Xiaoqiang thought he would have to exhaust himself comforting her again.

Earlier, she was so deeply involved, Yu Minglang used to perform ’accompany therapy’ by drinking with her or becoming a human tool to roll around the bed for three days. Today, before he even took any action, she came to peace herself?

”I’ve come to realize, everything in this world has two sides, a good side, and a bad side. Previously, I always noticed the bad side, but now all I see is the good side. I feel like I’m living quite well, and I’m eagerly anticipating the arrival of new life.”

Yu Minglang understood, and he touched her belly with a smile, ”So it’s Da Wei who’s making the difference this time!”

Pregnant women are always sentimental, crying in spring and melancholic in autumn. His wife, however, is different. Having a child makes everything complete!

Qian pretended not to hear him arbitrarily naming their child again.

”Today’s case was the most unique one I’ve ever dealt with, but it felt very fulfilling. Xiaoqiang, do you know how serene I feel inside? Just like those terminal patients accepting my treatment, even though it doesn’t change the ultimate outcome, it helps to accept life and death. I’ve done what I should, and I’m very satisfied.”

She did not let her medical ethics down, and she would accompany Mu Xiaofeng’s father until the end, using her character and persistence to prove that benevolence can be accomplished.

Things looked like they should be wrapping up, but then Qian suddenly remembered something.

”Where’s our ’beauty’? They’ve caught everyone; shouldn’t they return ’beauty’ to me?”

”Uh...”

As soon as Qian mentioned ’beauty,’ Yu Minglang got a bit worried.

”Well, let’s talk about the ’beauty’ matter tomorrow, dear. Do you remember our bet? Now that you lost, shouldn’t you fulfill your promise?”

When the bet was mentioned, Qian’s face turned deep red, and she rushed into the building, leaving the snowy night and literary pretensions behind.

”Don’t run! Be careful about Da Wei inside your belly! Hey, dear, you can’t default!”

Not fulfilling her promise makes her a troublemaker!

Whether Qian successfully avoided her obligations or got dragged by Xiaoqiang to fulfill the bet doesn’t need to be detailed out, only that the next morning, after breakfast, she sat on the sofa with a toothpick in her mouth. Even though Mu Xiaofeng’s matter was resolved, something felt missing...

She scanned the room, which Xiaoqiang had tidied up spotless. The coffee table offered various snacks suitable for pregnant women. Everything seemed normal, yet the silence felt off to Qian.

Suddenly, her eyes stopped at a corner of the living room. That should be the ’beauty’s’ nest, but why is the nest gone?

After she angrily kicked Yu Minglang off last night, he hummed little tunes to express his pleasant mood, deciding to channel his excess energy into tidying up the house. But why did he remove the nest?

Could it be...

Qian recalled how he reacted in a roundabout way when mentioning ’beauty,’ which seemed suspicious, like a needle piercing her heart. Could the ’beauty’ have met with an accident in the line of duty and been... honored?!

Pregnancy made the thought suffocating—what other explanation was there if Xiaoqiang didn’t say where ’beauty’ went and removed the nest?

Thinking about it, Qian couldn’t stand it anymore. She sprang up, intending to ask Yu Minglang for the truth, worried about his refusal. Yet this wouldn’t deter Qian.

So she headed downstairs.

It was a rare day off for Qiao Zhen today. He could finally take half a day to accompany his pregnant wife.

”Come, dear, take a bite, ah~”

”No!” Shi Yu turned her head away in disgust, avoiding the small spoon in Qiao Zhen’s hand.

”You can’t be so picky! You’re carrying a child. How will you get nutrition if you don’t eat? Look upstairs at them! Rumor has it she can eat, drink, and help our boss solve cases even while pregnant. Haven’t you lived in the same building for years? How can you be so picky?”

Qiao Zhen was being tortured to no end by his beloved Shi Tou.

Since she became pregnant, there have been various bouts of vomiting and lack of appetite. They initially thought it would get better with time, but as she reached later months, she became even more selective.ℴ
