Chapter 722: Chapter 696: What is the Flood Ferocious Beast?
After a few rounds, Liu i rubbed her temples in annoyance and complained.
“If I had just played that card earlier, you would have won again, Sister-in-law!”
Xiao Qian, with a faint smile, brushed her off, “I don’t like losing, so don’t go easy on .”
Old Mai watched this scene and suddenly felt a bit emotional. Shuixian and Xiao Qian in the sa fra, two completely different won: one with trendous financial resources and the other with unparalleled intelligence. If he hadn’t chosen Shuixian and targeted Chen Xiaoqian instead, would he end up being as passive as he is now?
Although Xiao Qian wasn’t as wealthy as Shuixian, having a woman like her with him would have been like having an extra pair of wings, right? If he had chosen Chen Xiaoqian back then, would she have chosen him or Xiao Qiang?
Old Mai was lost in deep confusion, pondering what kind of woman he truly needed.
...
“When soone starts thinking ‘if only’ they’ve already lost. Weak people, unable to solve future dilemmas, will often think ‘if only’. The biggest lie in the world is ‘if only’.”
Yu Minglang seed to be responding to Shuixian, but his eyes were mocking Old Mai.
Old Mai was so shaless, still trying to figure out which one he wanted. Heh, he’s not getting either! Daodao’s wife is his, and Daodao’s woman is Daodao’s. Yu Minglang’s eyes t with Old Mai, who was shocked at having his thoughts exposed. Then, he slowly raised his middle finger…
Old Mai, deep in thought, was shocked by Yu Minglang’s words and irritated by his provocative gesture.
This man was declaring war on him!
“Ladies are playing cards, shall we play a round too?”
If he could beat Yu Minglang, Old Mai really would have wanted to shout, “Co on!”
But he had tasted Yu Minglang’s fist before and didn’t dare to agree lightly, so he snorted disdainfully and turned his head away.
“Oh, too scared huh? Little brother is just a little brother.”
“Basket is just a basket.” Xiao Qian, who was playing cards, thought Yu Minglang was playing their rhyming ga with her. She played a King Bomb and casually replied.
“Wife, mind your language, you’re a lady!” Yu Minglang said with a smile, reaching out to gently brush away so loose hairs from Xiao Qian’s face.
“I ant the blue of the basket, is there anything wrong with that word?” Xiao Qian pretended to be innocent.
“I don’t bla my wife for not understanding. My wife is such a gentle, highly educated intellectual. She indeed doesn’t know the vulgar slang from the lower rungs of society. Both the word and ‘little brother’ have a male genital connotation. Wife, don’t say that anymore.”
“This is so fake…” Shuixian couldn’t stand to listen any longer.
She was sure that this couple was playing a double act together to deceive people. Poor Old Mai!
Sure enough, Old Mai was greatly affected.
Previously, Xiao Qian had ntioned this ambiguous word many tis, and although Old Mai didn’t know the aning, he was brainwashed by her. He never thought that he would escape the ‘basket’ term, ruined by Xiao Qian, only to be unable to escape ‘little brother’.
He couldn’t avoid Chen Xiaoqian’s gentle blows on either side!
“The aning of ‘little brother’ is…” Old Mai was distraught.
“Don’t get the wrong idea.” Yu Minglang said, even though his facial expression seed to say to Old Mai, “Yes, you didn’t misunderstand, that’s what it ans!”
Having been called that all day, Old Mai felt like he couldn’t control his emotions. He really wanted to beat up Yu Minglang, if only he could beat him.
Leaving with a resentful glance, Old Mai stord out. Yu Minglang’s deep eyes shimred with derision. Did this guy really think he could figure out his wife? Heh!
Feeling Xiao Qian watching him, Yu Minglang turned his head, and his thick eyebrows softened gently.
“What’s wrong?”
“Comparing you to him, you’re really mature.”
Xiao Qian’s sincere praise only got an arrogant reply from him, “Comparing to him is an insult to my intelligence!”
“Even a sapling will grow into a towering tree soday. He might change, and you might beco a reserved man in a decade or so.”
“Are you saying I talk too much?” Brother Lang was provoked.
Xiao Qian touched his face and said no more.
Having witnessed the future, Xiao Qian was suddenly curious about what would happen in the years to co. What would turn the still-immature Old Mai into such an outstanding person, and what would make the outwardly strong and inwardly gentle Yu Minglang so silent?
Shuixian watched the interaction between Yu Minglang and Xiao Qian, and put down her cards, deep in thought.
“You don’t have to worry, he doesn’t have the ability to deal with , you’re safe here.” Yu Minglang could see Shuixian’s concerns and directly addressed her.
Shuixian, amazed, gestured to her ears, indicating that Old Mai may have been eavesdropping.
“He’s already beyond eavesdropping range. He’s using a frequency-based eavesdropping thod, effective range is 120m-150m. According to his injured walking speed, he’s already moved beyond the range.”
“You knew already?” Shuixian felt a sense of relief. Since Xiao Qian had hinted that soone was listening in, Shuixian had felt uncomfortable. No one likes the feeling of being watched.
“Don’t think about anything, I’ll take care of you.” This had been Daodao’s mission for Yu Minglang, and he would do it at any cost.
Considering his wife, this was her sister; considering Daodao, this was his daughter-in-law. Yu Minglang had promised Daodao to protect Shuixian and would do it flawlessly.
“So you two were provoking him together to make him leave? No wonder.” Shuixian couldn’t help but admire Xiao Qian and Xiao Qiang’s tacit understanding. Without any prior notice, they could guess each other’s actions. This feeling was like when Shuixian first t Xiao Qian, when the i-Qiang combination perfectly shed together without any communication, bullying Da Long with ease.
Poor Da Long, even now, still didn’t know what had happened back then. Two top students abusing one slacker student, no, a student on the brink of failing.
“Liu i, you go keep watch. Don’t let anyone approach, I have sothing to discuss with Shuixian—oh, and take your phone with you.”
Yu Minglang sent Liu i away to keep watch. While discussing matters with Shuixian, he was also well-aware of the ti, realizing that Ma Lu should be calling Liu i after discussing matters with his parents.
Yu Minglang’s expression beca serious as he spoke to Shuixian.
“I ca here for two reasons. The first one is the mission codenad ‘Great Flood Beast’. I’ll need your cooperation moving forward.”
“Great Flood Beast…?” Shuixian imdiately thought of the scene where Old Mai was taken down by Xiao Qian. Old Mai was like a lamb toyed with by a wolf. Was he really worthy of the na ‘Great Flood Beast’?
