Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 338

After leaving the prison, Xiao Ming once again came to the old house, knocked on the door, and saw that Sha Lang’s face was haggard, his eyes bloodshot. He couldn’t help but ask curiously, "What’s wrong with you? Don’t tell me you haven’t slept a wink until now?"

Sha Lang looked down, "Unfamiliar environment, not accustomed to it."

Xiao Ming laughed and, sitting in the wheelchair Mingyue had moved up, entered the house, "As a killer, your lying skills are really poor.

Actually, you’re worried that your and Xing’s fates are completely in my hands, so you dare not sleep, right?"

Sha Lang stared at Mingyue cautiously, "I don’t care about myself."

Xiao Ming ignored him, looked around the room, and shouted toward the locked bedroom door, "Xing, come out, there’s cream cake to eat!"

Sha Lang suddenly widened his eyes, his whole body tensed up, causing Qing to poke his head out from Mingyue’s collar, too.

After a moment, the bedroom door opened a crack, revealing a pair of shiny, large eyes.

Xiao Ming waved the cake box in his hand, smiling warmly, "Hello there! My name is Xiao Ming, I’m your Brother Lang’s friend. I’ve brought you cake, strawberry-flavored."

Bang!

The door closed.

Xiao Ming was stunned.

In his previous life, although he hadn’t interacted with Xing, he knew from Sha Lang’s stories that she was a girl with intellectual disabilities, like a lively big child, not very shy!

Had Sha Lang frightened her?

Just as he was about to call out again, the bedroom door suddenly opened, and a girl with braided hair and a big belly came out, pointing at the photo frame in her hand excitedly, "You! You’re the one in here!"

The girl had plain features, a round face, dark skin, but her eyes were large, watery with the pure innocence unique to children.

"Yes, that’s me."

Xiao Ming pointed to Jiang Xue beside him in the photo, "This is my wife. Our relationship is like yours with your Brother Lang. She also has a baby in her tummy!"

Xing became even more excited, looked up to observe Mingyue carefully, and then furrowed her brows.

Xiao Ming couldn’t help but laugh, "My wife didn’t come. I’ll introduce you to her another day."

Xing thought for a bit, then walked over to Sha Lang, mimicking the pose in the photo by taking his arm, and sweetly smiled, "Can we do this too?"

"Of course. Just a moment."

Xiao Ming found his old digital camera in the TV cabinet’s drawer, checked that it had power, and then took a few pictures of them.

"Mingyue, there’s a photo print shop just outside the residential complex. Could you run down there, please?"

Mingyue didn’t refuse, but glared fiercely at Sha Lang before he left, cursing, "Damn scum!"

Xing looked confused, "That sister is really fierce."

Xiao Ming laughed heartily, "Yeah, she’s fierce, but she’s a good person, you don’t need to be scared. Come, let’s eat cake."

Upon opening the cake box, Xing cheered, ran to the kitchen to grab a spoon, and returned to feed Sha Lang a bite first, then wanted to feed Xiao Ming. Rejected, she was not pleased, but after eating, she showed a happy smile.

Sha Lang seemed to relax too and began to speak, "When I met Xing..."

"Let’s not talk about unhappy things," Xiao Ming interrupted him, "Besides, like I said, I know more about your situation than you can imagine. freewёbnoνel.com

No matter whether Xing’s intelligence is intact, as long as she is happy with you, that’s enough."

Sha Lang looked at him directly, "Will you make us happy?"

Xiao Ming smiled, "Your happiness is for you to hold onto, I can’t take care of that.

What I can promise you is that I won’t let you be unhappy without good reason."

As he spoke, he took a thick envelope from the box under his wheelchair and handed it to Sha Lang, "Inside is twenty thousand yuan, you two use it for now.

There’s a vegetable market and a small park around here, it’s very safe. You don’t always have to hide at home, you could take Xing out for a walk after meals, to get some air.

If nosy elderly neighbors ask about you, just say you are relatives from my hometown.

Once your household registrations are sorted, I’ll buy you a new house."

In fact, if I weren’t worried about you going mad from shock, Xing should be living in my new home. My wife is six months pregnant, and we have help at home to care for her, which is surely better than staying with you, a tough old man."

"Why?"

Sha Lang’s face was full of confusion and bewilderment, "I am just an assassin, the only skill I have to offer is experience in underground boxing, and that is clearly not enough for you to give so much.

I even have this feeling that you don’t actually need me to work for you, you just simply want me and Xing to live a normal life like ordinary people.

This... this is too absurd, so I just can’t wrap my head around it."

"You stubborn mule! If it’s given to you, just take it, why do you need to ask so many questions?"

"If it were just me, it wouldn’t matter how I lived, as what you’ve given me is far more than what the shelter did, and I should do anything for you.

But with Xing here too, I can’t help but worry."

Watching the rare gentle expression on the face of the cold-blooded assassin in front of him, Xiao Ming shook his head, "You don’t know me, but I know you.

From the day your parents sold you to the shelter, to learning and fighting boxing, battling for your life on the stage, the fear after your first solo mission, and then the habits you developed and your cold-heartedness.

From when you, seriously injured, were picked up by Xing and taken home, to killing her beastly father, wiping out the village that humiliated her, to the sleepless nights you endured worrying about her safety.

See, I really understand you, as if you were an old friend I’ve never actually met.

So indeed, I really hope you and Xing can live a normal life, but I also need your help."

After hearing this, Sha Lang’s confusion deepened but his unease slowly receded.

A moment later, he asked, "Help you with what?"

Xiao Ming’s voice turned grave, "I want Mad Dog."

Sha Lang was shocked, "That’s impossible! Hong Sen’s father, Hong Jiakun, has absolute control over the entire shelter.

Even for me, it would be very hard to refuse his orders."

"Simple, just kill him, right?"

"That’s even more impossible. He also has a private army of two to three hundred men, housed right on his estate."

Xiao Ming smiled mysteriously, "You don’t have to worry about that. In a little while, I’ll personally take a trip to Mianbang and kill Hong Jiakun myself.

What you need to do is just kill Hu Lang, take over Gray Wolf, and then take away all the Mad Dogs you can control."

Sha Lang looked at him as if he had seen the sun rise from the west.

"Although I’m still not sure if you’re a good master, I’m definitely certain that you’re a mad master!"

"Damn! You don’t have to do the most dangerous and difficult tasks, if that’s not good, then what is?" Xiao Ming cursed jokingly, then added, "Call me ’sir’ from now on, ’master’ sounds awkward."

Sha Lang nodded solemnly, "Yes, sir!"

At that moment, Mingyue returned.

When Xing saw the photo of herself with Sha Lang, she exploded with great excitement and enthusiasm, grabbing Xiao Ming’s arm, begging him to explain what was going on.

Xiao Ming patiently explained the use of the camera to her and promised to buy a photo printer in a couple of days to send over.

Xing immediately planted a big kiss on his face, overjoyed.

Sha Lang wasn’t jealous but looked at her with the tender love of an old father.

The only discordant detail was Xing’s bulging belly.

"A man who would hurt a mentally handicapped person deserves to be chopped up and fed to dogs, how can you still be so good to him? Could you be scum too?"

On the way home, Mingyue asked indignantly.

Xiao Ming shook his head, "What if I told you that the child in Xing’s belly isn’t Sha Lang’s, but her father’s, or every man’s in her home village.

Would you still think the same way?"

Mingyue’s eyes bulged out, and after a moment, filled with murderous intent, she asked, "Where is that village?"

"No need to think about it, Sha Lang already wiped it clean, not even a chicken was left."
