18 Wife, You Are Finally Back

"Mom, I need to go."

Xu Ming set his glass aside and turned to look at the little girl who was tugging his sleeve with an urgent face.

Not fully understanding why she was telling him instead of her dad, Xu Ming motioned with his chin in Xu Qin's direction.

"Go with your dad."

With disbelief filled in her big round eyes, Xu Mei wrinkled her nose in vexation and chided, "Mom! How can Dad walk into the girls' bathroom?!"

Xu Ming: "..." Ah, right, he is a 'woman' now.

To think that one day he was allowed to go into the women's bathroom with his head held up high, life was indeed unpredictable.

Giving one last sigh, Xu Ming eventually resigned himself to accompany the little girl to the bathroom with the help of a waitress.

Xu Qin felt a bit funny seeing Xu Ming's dead face looking as if she was going to an execution platform instead of a bathroom.

During the wait, Xu Qin quickly settled the bill and let the waiter clear the table.

Knock, knock.

"Please, come in."

Manager Wan reappeared with a stiff smile. Behind him were two people, a man and a woman dressing as if they were coming to a high-class restaurant.

Without even asking for his permission, the two bypassed Manager Wan and invited themselves into the room.

Witnessing this, Manager Wan hurriedly stopped them, "Young Master Y-"

"It's fine. You can go." Xu Qin interrupted and gestured for Manager Wan to leave.

The flustered Manager Wan gratefully bowed his head in Xu Qin's direction. He quickly exited the room and closed the door on his way out.

Xu Qin didn't even try to hide his displeasure and gave a light laugh, "Yu Qing, when will you grow up?"

Despite being ridiculed, Yu Qing was not embarrassed and haughtily raised his chin, "What a coincidence. You don't mind me joining you, right?"

The corner of Xu Qin's lips bent into a slight smile. He gestured with his right hand, "Go ahead."

Suddenly seeing him being so cooperative, Yu Qing became a bit skeptical while sitting down with his companion.

The moment Yu Qing's and his girlfriend's butts touch the chair, Xu Qin suddenly got up from his seat.

Yu Qing looked at him with an expression that said 'I knew it' and scoffed, "Don't tell me, President Xu thinks that I am not worth your time?"

"Yeah." Xu Qin's reply came back almost immediately.

Yu Qing: "..."

Yu Qing swallowed the curse words that threatened to come out and finally stated his objective, "I heard that you came with your wife and daughter?"

So this is what you came for?

Xu Qin's expression dimmed. Had it not been for the close friendship between the two families, he wouldn't have been this lenient with this person either.

"So?" Xu Qin faintly glanced at him, his eyes turned a few degrees colder.

Yu Qing involuntarily flinched at his sudden shift in mood.

In the past, Xu Qin never gave him a face but he never showed any hostility to him either thanks to his family.

As a result, he dared to behave unruly in front of this infamous Xu Qin whom everyone feared.

Anyway, it was rare to see Xu Qin being provoked by his words. Excitement overwhelmed his fear and Yu Qing's confidence soared. He righteously said, "I am bringing my girlfriend to see you so it is only fair for me to meet your wife."

After putting down these words, Yu Qing turned to look in his girlfriend's direction and proudly introduced, "You should have already seen her on television. She is Gu Wen who is a hot topic nowadays."

Knowing that it was her turn to make an appearance, Gu Wen slowly got up from her seat and shyly smiled at Xu Qin. A blush dyed her cheeks red making her already pretty face even more charming.

After her latest drama's box office exploded, she was no longer an unknown actress. Recently, she amassed a lot of fans as well as sponsors reaching out to her.

Even the infamous Young Master Yu actively pursued her which satisfied Gu Wen's ego.

A while ago, Gu Wen didn't understand why she was asked to doll herself up just to go on a date at the shopping mall.

She thought that Yu Qing merely wanted to brag about her in front of his friends, therefore, she didn't try too hard to dress herself up.

However, at this moment, she immensely regretted that she didn't put more effort into her makeup and outfit.

She dressed like a campus belle which was not bad but for a mature man like Xu Qin, her appearance might not suit his taste.

Gu Wen didn't care whether Xu Qin was a married man or her boyfriend was right beside her.

Her relationship with Yu Qing was simply for mutual benefit with no feelings involved.

One was a Young Master who depended on his family to eat and drink while another was a President of a giant corporation, the choice was obvious to all.

Xu Qin had a wife so what? She heard that the two were on bad terms and only maintained their marriage due to their child.

Gu Wen was confident in her beauty and believed that she could easily push the real wife away when the time arrived.

Carefully hiding her true thoughts to maintain her pure image, Gu Wen smiled with a sense of measure, "Good evening, President Xu. It is an honor for Gu Wen to meet you in person."

At the same time, she slightly bowed her head and tugged her hair behind her ear. As a result, her beautiful shoulder line and visible collarbone were on full display.

With a slight anticipation in her eyes, Gu Wen secretly peeked at the man's reaction only to see that the latter didn't even glance in her direction.

Her beautiful smile almost faltered from being completely ignored by her target. Fortunately, she had a lot of experience and could keep her expression in check.

Not caring about Gu Wen's embarrassment, Xu Qin said boredly, "Are you done?"

Just as Yu Qing was about to say something, Manager Wan's voice was suddenly heard coming from the outside.

"Mrs. Xu, you are finally back!"

Yu Qing's eyes lit up in excitement. Honestly speaking, he had already known what Xu Qin's wife looked like after digging around for a bit.

When Xu Qin decided to get married at the age of 25, Yu Qing couldn't understand why he abandoned his golden bachelor life so early.

As luck had it, he happened to chance upon someone who claimed to be her sister and realized what kind of a person Xu Qin's woman was.

To think that the awe-inspiring Xu Qin fell off his high horse due to a cheap gold digger like her, Yu Qing happily popped champagne and partied all night long.

Yu Qing was two years younger than Xu Qin so he has always been compared to the latter ever since he was young.

To say that he hated Xu Qin was an understatement.

No one wished for his downfall more than him in this world.

Even so, Yu Qing couldn't do anything harmful to Xu Qin due to their families being business partners.

In the end, he could only flaunt his beautiful lover in front of his face from time to time.

Look. Unlike you, I can date as many women as I want and they are all much better looking than your wife haha.

Yu Qing was a famous playboy. This time, in particular, he was satisfied with Gu Wen's appearance and personality that knew how to please men.

Yu Qing was confident that Xu Qin's peasant wife would cut into a sorry figure standing right next to her.

With a victorious smile plastered on his face, Yu Qing eagerly looked at the entrance.

Manager Wan respectfully opened the door and gestured for someone to come in.

A tall and slender figure slowly walked in while carrying a sleeping child in her arms.

Her beautiful pair of phoenix eyes were as dark as obsidian and frigid as a winter night. But with a touch of a mole under her right eye, she suddenly became seductive and could hook any soul with just a slight glance.

Her walking gait was unhurried which was full of discipline and measure. The sound of her shoes hitting the floor was pleasant and consistent as if it was carefully controlled.

Yu Qing unconsciously held his breath and his gaze remained fixed on that breathtaking face.

His heart was beating loudly as if it wanted to jump out of his chest.

Yu Qing was put in a daze and didn't come back to his senses until his line of sight was suddenly blocked by a certain tall figure.

"Wife, you are finally back."

The moment these words were spoken by Xu Qin, Yu Qing felt as if all of his blood had gone cold.

You are telling him that this beauty that could topple cities and countries is Xu Qin's wife?!

Yu Qing's face instantly darkened. He resentfully glared at Xu Qin's back.

Xu Qin ignored the heated gaze that bore a hole in his back and carefully took his sleeping daughter from Xu Ming's arms.

"I guess Mei-er is tired from running around."

Xu Ming gave a light Mn. He then faintly glanced at the two behind him, "Guests?"

Xu Qin nonchalantly said, "No. They just want to eat in this room."

Yu Qing: "..."

Gu Wen: "..."

With a light smile on his face, Xu Qin leaned closer and put his free hand on Xu Ming's shoulder. He spoke in a low voice, "Play along."

Xu Ming responded by pulling away and warned the taller man with his eyes.

Even without words, Xu Qin immediately understood what she was trying to convey.

Do you have a death wish?

Xu Qin turned a blind eye and pretended not to see her death glare, "Mei-er might wake up."

"Move your hand."

Knowing that she had agreed to play along, Xu Qin obediently took back his hand.

While the two were confronting each other, in other people's eyes, the scene played out differently.

The cold President Xu looked at his wife fondly and leaned for a kiss on her temple. However, his wife was shy from being kissed in front of others and dodged him.

This is sprinkling dog food in public ah!
