Rebirth: My Dear Little Wife Is So Scheming

Chapter 1040: Chapter 1040 Guarantee

Bai Xiao set down the phone, giggling endlessly; Jiang Shaoqing is quite interesting.

In her previous life, she didn’t realize this man was such a proud one.

In this life, she’s seeing a different side of Jiang Shaoqing.

The door sounded, and she stood up; An Zhiyuan had already come in, surprised to see her awake, with a bit of rebuke.

"Why are you still not sleeping? I told you I might come back very late, and asked you not to wait, but you didn’t listen! Just look at your dark circles; they’re almost as bad as a panda."

"Zhiyuan, I really couldn’t sleep without you here. I had to wait for you to come back. Besides, I just got a call from Jiang Shaoqing with some progress."

Bai Xiao wouldn’t let Jiang Shaoqing become a barrier between them.

An Zhiyuan paused, casting a chilly glance at Bai Xiao. Is this woman trying to anger him?

This is intentional, absolutely intentional!

"What did Jiang Shaoqing say?"

He struggled to keep his tone from sounding too stiff, but failed, exposing his inner turmoil.

Bai Xiao, grinning, leaned close, "Take a guess?"

"You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you?" He pinched Bai Xiao’s cheek, which was smooth and tender, feeling quite pleasant to the touch.

Bai Xiao rubbed her cheek in discontent, "That hurts! Be gentler, or you’ll leave a bruise. How will you explain it when Grandma sees?" Her skin was so delicate that even slight pressure left marks.

Last time, Grandma noticed the bruise on her arm and almost chased An Zhiyuan out, thinking he had hit her.

Only after extensive explanations did she let An Zhiyuan off.

An Zhiyuan might be the boss among his soldiers, with everyone obeying him, but in front of Grandma, he turned into an obedient soldier.

There’s always someone who can tame you.

An Zhiyuan glanced at her face, indeed there was a trace of a red mark; he’d gotten carried away.

The consequences could be severe.

"Tell me, what did Jiang Shaoqing say?"

"He told me not to bring you any harm, to always think of you, and not to burden you. You have a good friend."

Bai Xiao leaned against An Zhiyuan’s shoulder, squeezed together on the sofa, as An Zhiyuan took off his hat and ran a hand through his short hair.

"He really knows you well!"

He glanced slyly at Bai Xiao, who pouted in anger at his words, chuckling. To be able to make his wife pout, he really had a knack for it.

The little expression really made one’s heart itch.

"You don’t know me?"

Bai Xiao was unconvinced; this guy was asking on purpose.

"You! Aren’t you going to ask me what I found out today?" An Zhiyuan pulled her tight against his chest, letting her sit on his lap. Since she got better, An Zhiyuan truly wanted to show his love through actions, never again suppressing any of his overflowing affection.

If he didn’t express it now, what if one day he left first and she didn’t know his feelings? What would happen then?

Love should be expressed bravely, leaving no regrets.

Bai Xiao immediately wrapped her arms around his neck, leaned against his shoulder, spoke softly while asking cutely, "Zhiyuan, hurry up and tell me, or I might resort to torture." Her fingers moved to his armpit but were suddenly held tight by him to stop her mischief. This little girl had learned to tickle; after all, An Zhiyuan feared nothing except tickling.

"This time, it’s quite serious. An anonymous letter reported Yu Shaoyan and even provided evidence. There are indeed fifty thousand on Uncle’s account, which may be the main evidence. My old comrade helped me inquire. As it’s within the procuratorate, they said the higher-ups are taking this incident very seriously, involving many people, requiring thorough investigation.

Now, the only thing we can do involves the two leads; the legal representative of the company that transferred the funds is a local nickname Knife-man Jian Nan. He has some people under him, although not involved in fraud or scams, he’s not a good guy either.

This company is a shell company, and most importantly, it was registered only half a year ago. This timeline of setting up a company implies significant problems.

Moreover, the Dean of a hospital is also a key witness since the bribery benefited their hospital. However, the Dean strangely insists that Yu Shaoyan asked him for a service fee! Otherwise, he wouldn’t approve the dormitory building funds. He had no choice but to borrow fifty thousand from Jian Nan’s company to pay Uncle, or else, where would the hospital staff find accommodation?

He even explained the time and place clearly; this time and place match what your uncle said, making it difficult to argue against."

An Zhiyuan hadn’t expected it to be so tricky, not knowing who the opposing party was, setting a trap intricately.

It looks like it was designed especially to deal with Yu Shaoyan.

Bai Xiao pondered for a moment, "Zhiyuan, you said this company is local to Modu; can we go meet this Jian Nan? I want to see how this person got involved without reason, seemingly targeting my uncle."

Yu Shaoyan’s in the eye of the storm, and who knows how many people wish for his misfortune, making the next Dean uncertain, just this bit alone is enough to tempt people.

"I warn you; it’s no wonder Jiang Shaoqing warned you not to act rashly. We don’t know who’s behind Jian Nan. Don’t put yourself in danger; I’ll find him myself. Without me with you, don’t act alone, understand?"

It was clear the girl intended to act rashly again.

She relied on her skills, this woman was truly worrying.

Bai Xiao wanted to argue, wanted to say she certainly had no problem, wanted to say she now had the ability to protect herself. We are on China’s land, where it’s not permitted to casually wave an AK-47 around. Even encountering a madman with a gun, if it’s not a headshot, her survival probability is almost one hundred percent.

An Zhiyuan saw through Bai Xiao’s thoughts instantly.

He pulled her tightly into him, their eyes locked, Bai Xiao was startled.

Yesterday, it all started with eye contact, leading to an unstoppable cascade.

Two people passionate as kindling encountering fire, burning through the night; she still had sore waist and back.

It’s not going to happen again, is it? noveldrama

She covered his eyes, her voice softened in a request for mercy, "I promise not to court death, without you by my side, I’ll do nothing, isn’t that okay?"

Only able to surrender, An Zhiyuan now had residual effects from her scare; even a bit of movement could put An Zhiyuan on edge.

She was An Zhiyuan’s weakness.

Feeling moved, a man could share life and death with you, willing to accompany you regardless, that sensation might only be found in novel plots, yet she encountered it; how lucky.

Perhaps reincarnation gave her a chance to understand life anew.

All the beautiful things surged in as expected.

An Zhiyuan kissed the palm of her hand, hot and fiery, his eyes full of love.

"Such a good girl!"

It earned Bai Xiao a roll of the eyes.

Ignoring Bai Xiao’s protest, he carried her into the bedroom, leading to another grueling battle of endurance.

Bai Xiao suffered "heavy casualties," retreating at every step.

An Zhiyuan advanced triumphantly, satisfied.
