Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 688 - 662: That’s So Convenient

Qian asked Yu Minglang to pretend, so he did, and Mai was completely fooled.

Mai was in so much pain that he couldn’t think straight. Seeing Yu Minglang also holding his stomach and claiming to be in pain, Mai couldn’t figure out if he actually hit him.

"Shuixian, your bodyguard is truly impressive," Qian said to Shuixian.

"But..." Shuixian looked at Yu Minglang with doubt. Why did his acting seem so fake?

"Not bad, take good care of him, real talent is hard to find," Qian patted Shuixian on the shoulder.

Liumei looked at her brother puzzled. While others couldn’t see, she was watching closely, he wasn’t hit at all, what was he playing at?

Yu Minglang winked at Liumei. He was facing away from Mai and Shuixian, and Liumei understood immediately. Oh, Lang was telling her to keep quiet.

Fine, she didn’t see anything.

Mai, although not quite understanding why this situation arose, saw that it was beneficial for him at the moment, and the crisis was temporarily averted.

He didn’t have to worry about his secret identity being exposed... right?

Qian chatted with Shuixian for a few more sentences, while Yu Minglang approached Mai, who was sitting or rather half-lying on the ground, looking quite ridiculous.

Yu Minglang pretended not to notice, bending slightly to extend a hand to Mai, "Oh wow, not bad!"

"Thank... you..." Mai struggled to speak, suspecting that Yu Minglang had something like an iron plate tied to his knee, it hurt so much~

"But I feel like this round wasn’t satisfying enough, should we go again?"

As soon as Yu Minglang finished, Mai’s eyes rolled back, and he fainted...

Unclear if it was from pain or fear.

Qian was convincing Shuixian to believe that Mai was a good bodyguard, while Shuixian kept staring blankly at someone behind Qian. Following her gaze, Qian turned around, speechless.

That Yu Xiaoqiang who couldn’t stop pretending!

He was supposed to act like it was a draw, why did he knock someone out?

Yu Minglang shrugged. He had tried his best, how could he know this guy was so easily scared?

"What are you two actually up to?" Shuixian, not lacking intelligence, now understood, realizing that her supposedly formidable ’agent’ bodyguard was almost instantly defeated by Yu Minglang.

Looking at Yu Minglang’s lively and energetic demeanor, it didn’t seem at all like he had been badly hit, and contrasting with her bodyguard lying on the ground... it was just unbearable.

Yet Qian insisted it was a draw?

"Just think of him as your Schrodinger’s bodyguard, understand?" Qian said to Shuixian while Mai was still fainted.

Schrodinger’s Cat, a joke the two made on the first day they met to tease each other.

All these years later, hearing Qian say this seemingly nonsensical line in such an occasion, Shuixian recalled a few things quickly.

"You mean, he’s not—" reliable?

Before she could finish, Qian made a shushing gesture, and Shuixian immediately understood and stopped speaking.

Qian, using information from her past life, deduced that Mai was a meticulous and even insidious person, someone who wouldn’t leave obvious mistakes for others to find. Whether he liked Shuixian or had other intentions for staying close to her, Qian believed he was determined to get her.

If he could put aside his identity to act as a bodyguard, he must have conducted comprehensive research on Shuixian and might even have planted some special surveillance equipment on her, so some things could only be hinted at subtly to Shuixian.

In front of Qian, Shuixian couldn’t show off much intelligence because Chen Xiaoqian was too extraordinary, almost on par with the level of a super boss like Teng Shuixian’s father, but Shuixian wasn’t stupid either. Despite trailing behind Qian, she was far more capable than the average person, otherwise, in her past life, she couldn’t have upheld the Teng Family. Qian only needed to mention a code from their past, and Shuixian understood everything.

Qian signaled to Yu Minglang. He intended to pinch Mai’s philtrum, but on second thought, a mischievous idea crossed his mind. Picking up a nail from the ground, he directly poked it into Mai’s behind—

"Ah!" Mai shot up in pain.

Yu Minglang helped him up with a look of deep brotherly love, expressing boundless love and genuine empathy, "Buddy, how did you manage to sit on a nail? Are you okay?"

"I suspect he might have practiced iron body martial arts, where a nail wouldn’t hurt unless it poked somewhere delicate. Buddy, does it hurt?" Liumei had learned to follow Yu Minglang’s lead.

Qian raised an eyebrow, impressed to see Liumei also had talent. Yu Minglang nodded at her with pride.

Need you ask? Although his sister sometimes had questionable taste in choosing partners, she had grown up playing with him and learned his tricks well!

"I’m fine..." Mai reluctantly stood up, retreating two steps warily while watching Yu Minglang, afraid he might claim he wasn’t fine and Yu and Liumei might poke at something with a nail.

Iron body martial arts, what’s up with that...

"We’re leaving now, Shuixian, get in touch later." Qian waved to Shuixian, casually leaving with her mischievous brother and Liumei, the little sidekick.

Before getting into the car, Yu Minglang glanced toward where the blonde had just been, but the place was now empty.

"Mei, have you recently offended anyone?"

"Mahadi?"

"He doesn’t count."

"Then no, is there a problem?"

"Someone was just using a camera over there to photograph us. I intervened."

"I’ve been quite good lately, so maybe it was just someone taking night scenes and accidentally caught us."

"Good? You’re still eating fried chicken, watching the commotion, playing with sand, biting someone’s—" Yu Minglang was referring to Ye Daqian’s incident. Since Qian said she hadn’t offended anyone, it must have been a coincidence—after all, Ye Daqian was still in the hospital recovering.

"Get lost! That was the dog biting, and apart from your four kilograms, I haven’t—" Damn! She had a slip of the tongue, what had she just said!

Qian blushed, almost saying, apart from your four kilograms, she hadn’t sucked (suo) anyone else’s. Realizing the conversation was going off track, even through Yu Xiaoqiang’s pretentious dark sunglasses, she could feel someone’s evil gaze.

Spending too much time with Erha, Qian sometimes acted a bit silly too.

"Brother, what four kilograms?" Liumei asked curiously.

"Kids don’t ask silly questions!" Yu Minglang glared at her, and Liumei stuffed her fingers in her mouth to chew, feeling wronged about how differently he treated his wife compared to her.

"Xiaoqiang, contact a sketch artist to come to our house."

"Why?"

"When Liumei first arrived, she saved a woman in the park and remembered the bad guy’s face. Since the woman won’t report the case, we’ll bring the sketch artist home and let Liumei try to create a sketch to see if it can help solve the case."

Yu Minglang immediately made a call, but since all the artists were working overtime today, he arranged it for tomorrow.

Once they were downstairs at home, Qian wanted to get out, but Yu Minglang grabbed her wrist, preventing her from moving.

"Liumei, you’re on your own at home today. I have some scores to settle with your sister-in-law."

Now that the serious matters were settled, it was time to discuss Chen Xiaoqian’s thoughts about another guy’s spa service. This was no small matter, significant enough for Xiaoqiang to feel it was time to set some rules for her.

Hm, as long as it’s just thoughts.
