Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 295 The Most Troublesome One_1

Half an hour later, the Q&A session ended, with Xiao Ming practically performing a one-man show throughout.

After stepping down, he solemnly apologized to the leaders and staff of the museum once again, then courteously declined some dinner invitations and took his leave.

A business van was waiting outside the back door of the museum. Just as he settled into his seat, a fiery body lunged at him, startling him into quickly erecting his hands in front of his face to avoid an unexpected kiss.

"Sir, you were incredible today, you basically materialized as the man of Chun’s dreams."

Lu Lichun’s voice was filled with excitement, "No! You must let me kiss you, otherwise I won’t let you get out of the car!"

Xiao Ming looked at the lipstick mark on his palm and glared, "Thinking of kissing me and you wear lipstick that comes off easily, doing it on purpose, huh?

I think you’re just itching for a beating."

Lu Lichun’s eyes brimmed with dewy allure, "Yes. Not only is my skin itching, but my heart is too, and there’s another place that’s even itchier."

"Hold it right there!"

Xiao Ming couldn’t help but laugh as he pushed her away.

"I’ve just become famous again. If someone snaps a photo of me coming down from a car with a lipstick mark on my face, along with the reports of transferring 51% shares to you, you believe it’ll stink up the street, right?

So, even if I could kiss you, which I can’t, today is still off-limits."

Lu Lichun stamped her foot, "I specifically chose a car with a partition in the front cabin just to pick you up.

If you won’t let me kiss you, I... I just won’t sign the contract!"

Xiao Ming raised an eyebrow at her, "What happened?"

Lu Lichun bit her lip, struggling to hide a smile, "Guan Qingchang wants to divorce me!"

"So soon?"

"Yup. He showed me the divorce agreement, an equal split of marital property, including seven or eight houses and shares in my own company. He’s quite conscientious, so I agreed.

After I sign the share transfer agreement with Guan Ruiming tomorrow, I’m heading to the civil affairs office to get divorced!

Sir, I’m going to be free. From now on, I’ll belong only to you, Chun!"

"What do you mean ’belong to me’? Are you giving up all your dreams and ambitions?"

"My greatest dream and ambition now is to possess you!"

"Then you’re doomed, because that’s something you’ll never achieve in this lifetime."

Shaking his head, Xiao Ming asked, "Does your family agree to the divorce?"

"How could they possibly agree?"

Lu Lichun grimaced with a sneer, "Ever since the news of me signing the divorce papers reached home, my phone hasn’t stopped ringing.

My mother, my two brothers, my three sisters, and even uncles and aunts who hadn’t been in touch for ages—all came out of the woodwork.

There were those who scolded me, lectured me, educated me, and even pleaded with me. Just forget about it, I never thought the Lu Family would be so disgraced one day.

What’s so special about Guan Qingchang that they treasure him so much?

If I weren’t worried about making you angry, I would have told them I’m becoming your mistress, to let them understand that I’m moving up in the world and not as lowly as they are."

Xiao Ming couldn’t help but laugh, "Being a mistress is something to be proud of? It seems to me that you’re the one without any shame."

"I’d rather be the concubine of a mighty man than the wife of a loser!"

Lu Lichun leaned against him, her smile sweet, "In my eyes, aside from you, sir, every man in the world counts for nothing—they’re all useless!"

"Then I’m sorry, you’re destined to end up alone."

"I have confidence!"

Lu Lichun lifted her head, her gaze tender, "Even if taking ten thousand steps back, I can’t warm your stony heart, being able to stay by the side of a man who understands me is worth it for this lifetime."

Xiao Ming sighed silently within his heart, didn’t respond further, and didn’t push her away anymore.

In the last life, Lu Lichun met with a tragic end.

After gaining power, the first thing Guan Qingchang did was to cause the Lu Family to fall apart and their members to perish. Yet, he did not divorce Lu Lichun, but used her as a tool to consolidate his position, sending her to his superior’s bed.

However, her response was unexpected to everyone.

She committed suicide.

Using a blade hidden in a condom, she first made the boss a eunuch, then resolutely slit her own throat, her blood soaking the bed.

Guan Qingchang was doomed because of this.

She had taken her revenge with her own life, preserving her purity.

This was the very reason why Xiao Ming knew of the pride inherent in her bones, determining that she would not easily betray him.

Her licentiousness was her own choice and did not mean she was promiscuous.

Before long, the car stopped, and Xiao Ming, peering through the privacy window, saw an antique-looking gate. As his eyes caught the "Lingnan Business Association" inscribed on the overhanging board, the corners of his mouth curled into a cold sneer.

Smack!

Lu Lichun finally seized the opportunity and planted a loud kiss on him.

"I told you, I’m confident!"

Watching her proud expression, Xiao Ming couldn’t let his anger show but could only shake his head helplessly.

"You! When it comes to getting too big for your boots, you’re the most deserving of a beating among those around me.

Stop grinning like a fool and clean it up quickly!"

Lu Lichun giggled and took a wet wipe to help him clean off the lipstick mark.

"The most deserving of a beating is not enough; I want to be the one who gives you the biggest headache."

Xiao Ming was left speechless.

Lu Lichun was clearly not a foolish woman.

She understood perfectly well that Xiao Ming had no romantic feelings for her and that she was no longer satisfied with just a physical relationship.

One is only troubled by inner conflict.

She wanted to enter Xiao Ming’s heart!

This was her declaration and her challenge unless Xiao Ming made her back off.

The headquarters of the Lingnan Business Association was located in a century-old mansion, styled with the charm of the South, featuring small bridges over flowing water and delicate and elegant pavilions.

On a regular day, it served as a private club, used exclusively for rest and hosting functions for the association’s members.

In recent years, the boom in private club construction has seen a flood of hot money, tainting cultural relics and historical sites with the stench of copper.

But Xiao Ming knew that a crackdown was imminent, and except for the few top clubs, the rest would be doomed.

Stepping through the gate and across the courtyard, Lu Lichun led Xiao Ming to a hall by the water that had been converted into a meeting room.

The room was already populated with quite a few people; a rough count revealed some twenty to thirty attendees, mostly veterans of the business association. Some had even dined with Xiao Ming before and nodded their greetings, albeit with some odd looks on their faces.

"What’s all this about?"

A mocking voice suddenly rang out. Turning his head, Xiao Ming saw Dong Chenghua, with hands in pockets and a cigarette dangling from his lips, swaggering over like a street thug. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

"Since when did the Lingnan Business Association start letting any Tom, Dick, or Harry in? If word of this gets out, who will take us seriously?"

"Dong Chenghua!" Lu Lichun’s voice was icy, "Keep away if you don’t want to die!"

Dong Chenghua’s face twitched, and he snorted coldly, "Madam Lu, everyone already knows about your divorce, and the Lu Family has declared that you have been expelled from their house.

You’re just a down-and-out dog now, with no right to be so haughty. While you’ve yet to receive the divorce papers, you’d better think about how to deal with those waiting to take revenge on you!"

Having refused to take calls from home, Lu Lichun was stunned to learn that she had been cast out by the Lu Family. Overwhelmed with sadness, heartache, regret, and relief... her emotions were a complex mix, indescribable.
