Chapter 306: Chapter 303: My Wife Won’t Let Me Hold Her

"A pretty young lady, huh?"

"No girlfriend you’re interested in, huh?"

"She’s a pretty girl, so you really know how to sweet-talk her, don’t you?"

"Why did you even bother coming back? Why don’t you go get a room with her?"

Lin Yanwan listened to the recording on the phone, grinding her teeth in anger. She’d never realized how skilled this guy was at hitting on young women.

Jiang Xia looked embarrassed. "Honey, I wouldn’t dare. It was all just to show Old Wang what kind of person she really is. I was just pretending."

"Hmph!" Lin Yanwan plopped down on his waist and said fiercely, "And then? What did you two talk about at dinner?"

"I just played the recording for Old Wang."

"What was his reaction?"

"He promised to stay far away from that green tea, of course."

"And the girl?"

Jiang Xia hesitated for a moment. "I don’t know the specifics of what happened. I just asked her out to a high-end Western restaurant for dinner, and then I stood her up. I have no idea if she ended up ordering anything. I’ll ask Old Wang tomorrow and find out."

Lin Yanwan nodded lightly. "But aren’t you afraid she’ll retaliate for what you did to her?"

"I didn’t do anything to her!" Jiang Xia denied at once. He muttered under his breath, "If I’m doing anyone, it’s you."

Lin Yanwan: "..."

Fuming, she pinched his side. ’What kind of lewd things is this guy thinking about all day? Is that what I meant?’

Besides, he was just out making eyes at another girl, and now he comes back wanting to get into my pants? ’It’s not that easy. What does he take me for?’

"Hurry up and talk!"

Jiang Xia subconsciously clenched his sphincter and took a deep breath. "Don’t worry. The name I gave her was fake, and the SIM card was a temporary one. I’ve already thrown it in the furnace and burned it. Even if she shows up at the company tomorrow to cause a scene, who do you think would believe her?"

He continued with a grin, "If she can’t produce any evidence, it’s slander. Defamation of character. I’ll just sue her."

Lin Yanwan’s eye twitched. ’He’s truly ruthless.’

"What’s the worst-case scenario for her today?"

Jiang Xia shrugged. "If she’s cautious enough, she probably wouldn’t have ordered anything after seeing I wasn’t there. After waiting a while and realizing she couldn’t reach my phone, she should have just gone back to school."

"But if she’s the type who loves to take advantage of people, she would have ordered a ton of food and waited for me to pay. Too bad I wasn’t there. When it came time to pay the bill, she probably had to fork over a huge amount of cash."

He paused, then said, "A high-end Western restaurant like Maxim’s has pretty expensive dishes. At least, it’s not something an ordinary student can afford."

Lin Yanwan nodded. This wasn’t really a severe consequence. Compared to the tragic fate Old Wang suffered in his past life, this was a very, very light punishment.

But it was enough to make the green tea suffer and teach her a bitter lesson.

"Honey, I want you~" Jiang Xia blinked, drawing out his words.

"Get lost! You can sleep by yourself for the next few days!"

With a cold snort, she got off him, shuffled out of the bedroom in her fuzzy slippers, and went back to her own room next door.

’That guy flirts with another girl outside, and when he can’t take it anymore, he thinks he can just come back and use me to let off some steam? As if life could be that easy.’

Well, this was... a disaster.

Jiang Xia was suddenly dumbfounded. His wife was jealous, and his wonderful life was over.

’We’ve only been sleeping in the same bed for a few days!’

’Next time, I’ll have to give that lower back of hers a good ’treatment’.’

He took out his phone and sent a text to Old Wang: "Forget about taking any vacation before the New Year! If the drawing doesn’t kill you, then draw until you drop!"

He had to suffer his wife giving him the cold shoulder just so his good brother could see that green tea’s true colors. He had to vent this frustration on Wang Ming.

Jiang Xia sighed, got out of bed, slipped on some sandals, and went into the bathroom to shower and sleep.

「The next day.」

Zhang Yuanyuan stormed into Qitian Animation Company, demanding an explanation from Jiang Qiao and Wang Ming, the two who had stood her up.

But she couldn’t even get past the company’s front door. Liu Xinyue immediately tried to send her away. She threw a fit, demanding to see President Jiang, Jiang Qiao, but was told that there was no boss named Jiang Qiao at the company.

She was dumbfounded on the spot.

So she tried calling President Jiang again, but his phone was still turned off. At this point, Zhang Yuanyuan was sure she had been tricked. But she couldn’t for the life of her figure out why he would trick her. Was it just to humiliate her at the restaurant?

"Well, Wang Ming is an employee here, right?"

Zhang Yuanyuan gritted her teeth in frustration. She called Wang Ming, only to be met with the message, "Sorry, the number you have dialed is busy. Please try again later."

However, she got the same message no matter how many times she called. She realized she had probably been blocked.

"Shouldn’t you all be working? What’s all this noise about?" Li Weiya stepped out of the elevator, frowning slightly when she saw the crowd gathered at the company entrance.

"Director Li, this person is looking for Jiang Qiao and Wang Ming, but we don’t have anyone named Jiang Qiao here," said the receptionist, Liu Xinyue.

Although she knew Jiang Qiao was likely Jiang Xia’s alias, her boss had given her instructions yesterday, so of course, she couldn’t explain all that.

’Seeing how she looks so abandoned... did President Jiang hit it and quit it last night?’ Liu Xinyue wondered furtively.

Li Weiya looked at the young woman before her and said coolly, "We really don’t have anyone named Jiang Qiao here. Are you sure you have the right person? As for the Wang Ming you mentioned, he’s my son. What do you want with him?"

Zhang Yuanyuan looked up at Li Weiya. She was wearing thigh-high boots, a white fur coat, and exquisite makeup. A black cotton hat covered her curly hair, and a thick, fuzzy scarf was wrapped around her neck. She had a powerful aura.

Hearing that this woman was Wang Ming’s mother, Zhang Yuanyuan’s breath caught in her throat. ’Why didn’t that guy tell me his mom was a senior executive at the company?’

"Auntie, I..."

Li Weiya cut her off with a frown. "I am not your auntie."

Zhang Yuanyuan was struck speechless. The words she had been preparing on her way over were suddenly stuck in her throat.

’What could I do? Tell Wang Ming’s mother to her face that I had tried to get her son to pay my bill last night, only to get played?’

’If I said that, I’d be taken for a fool.’

"Speak clearly. What did my son do to you?" Li Weiya stared directly into Zhang Yuanyuan’s eyes, her tone somewhat aggressive.

Zhang Yuanyuan instantly backed down. "N-Nothing... Senior Brother Ming and I are classmates. He’s helped me a lot in the past, and I’m very grateful. I..."

"Mom, don’t believe her lies. This girl is a total green tea who can’t speak a word of truth. She called me late last night, telling me to meet her at a Western restaurant. She claimed she wanted to treat me to dinner, but she was probably just trying to get me to foot the bill. I ignored her, and now she’s here to settle the score."

Wang Ming appeared in the hallway at some point and mercilessly exposed her hypocritical act.

In any case, he had no intention of continuing to play along with this girl. If they were going to drop the act, so be it.

Hearing this, Li Weiya’s expression turned hostile as she looked at Zhang Yuanyuan.

"Are you going to get lost on your own, or do I have to call security to throw you out?"ℯ
