Chapter 29: Take Mine, Don’t Use the Two Bastards’

“My family members are viviparous, none of us have claws. Please don’t say that again.”

Yu Minglang was proud that he exercised what he learned from the [Humour Master]. He did have a sense of humour.

However, Xiaoqian looked at him with a cold expression.

“Corny.”

“We don’t have corn here.” Yu Minglang looked around. Why would she say that?

“Silly! Your dad jokes, it’s corny!” Xiaoqian pushed him away. She knew she could not get out. Thus, she sat on the hard couch fuming.

She needed to cool down. If she continued this nonsense with this silly man, her intelligence would plummet.

In her previous life she always thought this man was righteous, straight and proper.

However, this man read Dragon balls and told dad jokes. Who was this man?!

When she came to think of it, it was not that strange. In her previous life, she met him when he was older. He was already a man of high position. His work required him to remain detached and even unsympathetic. Of course, there were times that he would behave in a silly manner. However, they did not have much time to spend together and Xiaoqian did not get to know him on a deeper level.

As he returned, he tried to maintain the same distance as before with a straight face. Xiaoqian tilted her head slightly.

Yu Minglang looked handsome with a cold temperament, but according to her experience of a professional psychologist, it seemed…

This person looked so much like a Husky!

A wolf looking exterior, but silly on the inside?!

Yu Minglang did not know that the Zhou Zhiruo look-alike was thinking that he looked like a Husky. He was still trying to explain the passbook matter.

“I believe that you need money.”

“You don’t say.”

She wanted to go to university. Although she had a doctorate level of knowledge and experience of a psychologist. She could not start a private practice without the certificates.

“These are my savings, these are ‘clean’ money. Use this, don’t take money from the two scumbags.”

“I don’t know you very well.”

“Er…” Only now did Yu Minglang realize that he may have hurt her feelings.

“This is a loan!” he found a perfect solution!

“Loan?” Xiaoqian was stunned.

“Yes, it’s a loan, you can pay me back when you have the money.” Actually, he would be fine if she did not.

“What if I can’t repay you?” Xiaoqian was holding the passbook that he shoved in her hand. She did not feel happy, but was still angry.

Was he not a little too nice?

Does he always treat women like this? In her previous life, he put a coat on her the first time they met. How many women received such treatment?

In this life, he shoved medicinal patches in her hand. Now, he wanted to give her money. How many women did he do this to? Shameless!

No, something was not right. Shoot!

Was she jealous?!

Yu Minglang did not know that Xiaoqian was thinking about many different things and she was now slightly jealous. He was still trying to find words that were not hurtful to explain to her.

“People are bound to come across challenges in life. But if you could just look ahead and it will…”

“Darn it!” Xiaoqian was furious.

This man recited words from Chicken Soup for the Soul to her.

She was a professional psychologist. Hence, reciting these words to her was meaningless.

Do you know how annoying it was for someone, who was having psychological challenges, to hear about Chicken Soup for the Soul?

Do you not know that those who enjoy Chicken Soup for the Soul usually have lower IQ? She was a doctor, A DOCTOR!

Xiaoqian was boiling with rage.

She hit him with the passbook again and again.

“Yu Minglang, are you crazy? I’m not close to you. You don’t even know what kind of person I am. Did you even ask if I want your money? You didn’t ask me anything and you want to give me money. Are you stupid?

Yu Minglang did not feel a thing. Seeing that she was boiling with rage, he dared not dodge. He let her hit him.

At the same time, he peeked at the boiling beautiful face.

Xiaoqian got tired from the hitting, but he did not retaliate. She then asked in a displeased tone,

“Why didn’t you dodge? Are you stupid?”

“It didn’t hurt.” He answered honestly and added in his heart. He thought, ‘If I dodge, I wouldn’t be able to see the beautiful mole in such close distance. The ruby red mole on her forehead was so mesmerizing.’

“I…” Xiaoqian had no words.

“Chen Xiaoqian, I’m lending this money to you and I believe that you will repay me one day. I don’t care how long it takes, no time limit as long as you repay me.”

“If I can’t repay you, what are you going to do?”

“Be my girl…that um, nothing.” He almost said what he really wanted. That was close!

Yu Minglang remained calm and collected. He pretended like nothing happened. Seeing that Xiaoqian may not have heard what he said, he switched the topic back to the money.

“In short, you can use my money. But not the money of those bastards!”

“Why not!” It’s money. Xiaoqian would rather revenge against the bastards and take money from them, because they deserved it. She did not want to use his money, as she did not want to be entangled with him.

“Because your pure and ‘clean’ life is worth more than fifty thousand.”

The moment he said that, Xiaoqian froze. She stood there for a long time.

Yu Minglang could tell that there were tears in her eyes.

It was as though Xiaoqian was suppressing something in her heart for a very long time. The moment he pressed the button, all her weaknesses were released.

She was about to lose control of her emotions. In fact she was losing control of her tears.

“What they did was terrible. I understand your feelings. But you’re a kind lady, you shouldn’t be corrupted by them.”

Yu Minglang would never let Xiaoqian take the bastards money.

This was something that Yu Minglang decided ever since the first time he saw her.

This lady should live a carefree, happy and ‘clean’ life. She should be pampered and she should not be troubled by those bastards.

Yu Minglang wanted to be the man that pulled her out from this predicament.

“What about me?! Yu Minglang, you tell me what am I to do? They almost ruined my life! Am I supposed to let it go just like that? Let them use me as a ‘shield’ for their love?

The resentment in Xiaoqian’s heart triggered when Yu Minglang said that her ‘clean’ life should be worth more than fifty thousand. Everything she told herself in order to hypnotize herself fell apart and her broken heart was exposed.

“Impossible. They did something wrong, they needed to pay for what they did! Suppressing your emotions is not healthy. Our actions should be open and aboveboard, even when handling the bastards. You must know I’m a ‘open’ fellow.”

He made another attempt to do a dad joke in the last sentence…

Xiaoqian witnessed very quickly just how Yu Minglang used his ‘openness’ to avenge her.
