Chapter 572: Chapter 571 - 545: Guard Against Perils and Prevent Them Gradually

“Qian Bao, I’ve noticed that you could be a detective now. Just after meeting someone for a few minutes, you can deduce so many things. Impressive!”

He was genuinely praising her.

Regardless of whether you’re right or wrong when arguing with a woman, or if you understand why she’s angry, what’s important is to always shower her with compliments. As long as it’s not a matter of principle, sincerely praising her can never go wrong!

Yu Minglang has figured this out in the past two years. His queen doesn’t like being confronted— except in bed. If there’s a dispute, it’s best to go along with her words to avoid getting into trouble.

“Nonsense! What do you think my profession is? Psychological issues are not rare. Just stand on the road and randomly watch the pedestrians. Of every ten, at least six have different levels of psychological problems. But, if it doesn’t affect their lives, it doesn’t matter.”

“Right, right, right!” Yu Minglang nodded while his eyes moved along with her face.

It’s been a while since they’d seen each other, and his wife looked even better in her summer clothes. Oh, that figure!

“I’m not saying you can’t have a past, but I don’t like it when you say she’s pure and unaffected, and I don’t like it when you talk about her being unpretentious in front of me. The more a woman appears not to care about everything, the more she deliberately shows her ‘indifference.’ True indifference is not like that. Anyway, I’ve never seen a broad-minded woman with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. If you don’t want to get yourself into trouble, stay away from her.”

“Is there really such a disease as Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder?” Yu Minglang initially thought Xiao Qian was just joking.

“Nonsense! Do you think I’d make up labels for people? I just don’t want her to use her ‘unpretentious’ attitude to get close to you. If someone tries to take my man with such an attitude, am I supposed to just let go?”

“Wait a minute, Qian Bao, do you think she’s attracted to me?” Yu Minglang finally understood. Was his Qian Bao jealous?

“I’m not so dull that I wouldn’t notice when someone stares at my man with hungry eyes for hundreds of years!”

“You’re overthinking it. How could she— I don’t even see her as a woman, and besides, how could she be attracted to me after all these years without any contact? Qian Bao, it’s a good thing if you get jealous, but you can’t go overboard!”

Yu Minglang thought it was too far-fetched.

How could he have anything to do with a tomboy?

If anything had happened, it would have happened during school, not after so many years upon first meeting.

“I’m not jealous at all. I’m just reminding you that if you receive a phone call from your ‘unpretentious’ classmate within a week or ‘accidentally’ meet her and she asks you out—no matter her reason—make sure to reject her. Whatever sob story or memories she uses, just tell her, ‘I love my fiancée very much.’ Choke her with that sentence!”

“She doesn’t have my number. Do you think everyone can have my private number? Besides, she can’t call me at work, especially with her laid-back—”

Yu Minglang stopped just in time, almost saying a word that Xiao Qian didn’t like.

“Yu Xiaoqiang, let me, a psychologist, educate you. A person who hangs ‘unpretentious,’ ‘I don’t care about anything,’ and ‘I don’t want much’ on their mouth usually has a narrow-minded mentality. For example, some people claim to have a big heart, but once their back is turned, they’ll betray you. These labels are often double standards, holding others to strict standards while never feeling like the world owes them anything. Yet when they betray the world, they get away with saying they’re just easygoing and have a big heart. That’s why I find those words particularly annoying. A big heart is not an excuse for hurting others! Nor can it justify the act!”

Xiao Qian’s words were very straightforward.

Many people in this world are like this, claiming to be extremely generous while not reflecting on their actions and blaming others for being too petty. And there’s a proportionally high number of them— two or three out of every ten.

She had been with Yu Minglang for over three years already, and aside from the lack of a marriage certificate, their life was virtually the same as a married couple.

Their assets were mixed together, and both their bodies and emotions were inseparable. She didn’t want anyone or anything to interfere with her stable life.

For now, this Yu Xiaoqian woman was not on her radar. But an outstanding man like Yu Minglang would always have women who liked him no matter where he went. To prevent various flies and mosquitoes from swarming him in the future, she had to brainwash him: aside from his wife, all other women were trash!

“Let’s make a bet. If this woman—”

“Xiao Mei, Qian Bao, my little darling, sweetie, are you sure you want to waste our time on an unrelated person?”

The phrase “unrelated person” finally pleased Xiao Qian.

Having achieved her goal of taking preventative measures, she did not intend to dwell on this matter any longer.

“Let’s go take a shower.”

There were two bathrooms at home. Xiao Qian pushed him towards one of them, but he followed her in eagerly.

“Save some water; let’s shower together.”

His words sounded grand and righteous.

“Wife, why are you so attractive? This skin is just so irresistible. Don’t learn from those seductive women outside. They have a suffocating scent while my wife is all-natural~”

She always had a lovely, natural fragrance.

“You just praised those outside women for their huge transformations since their teenage years.” Xiao Qian inadvertently let out a sour remark.

“Can you not spoil the mood? I didn’t finish. I was about to say I think she looked better when she was young.”

“Huh, you still remember her appearance from when she was little…”

His amused, jealous expression pleased him. He raised his hand with a bit of pride, “Qian Bao, look at my muscles. Don’t I also attract women when I go out?”

Xiao Qian snorted. How could he not attract people?

He had family and background, handsome looks gifted by his parents, and a wealthy and dashing job. Put him anywhere, and there would be women throwing themselves at him.

Especially over the past two years, Xiao Qian’s styling has made his clothing taste more and more masculine. If he spent more time outside with or without doing anything, plenty of women would devise ways to cling to him.

“Don’t worry, my lady. My eyes are only for you, and my lifestyle will never get out of hand.” Yu Minglang leaned down for a kiss. “If you dare let anyone else touch what’s mine or use the skills I’ve taught you on other women, I’ll make you lose everything you gained!”

Yu Minglang was scared into submission.
