Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss

Chapter 596: Chapter 570: Get Lost and Confusion (Thanks BBX for the He Shi Bi reward and updates)

“My name is Zhiming. My dad named me hoping that our family store could prosper just like me. But I didn’t do well in last year’s College Entrance Exam, so I could only return to run this business. Our store isn’t doing well either. In the past two months, you two are the only ones willing to stay.”

What a ‘prominent’ farmhouse experience; a quiet environment perfect for listening to frogs and watching the stars. Xiao Qian looks at Yu Minglang’s guilty face and wants to punch him until even his eyes are shining brightly!

The vision in Yu Minglang’s mind shatters – an image of him and Xiao Qian holding hands under the starry sky in the courtyard of a secluded mountain retreat.

After eating the specially prepared farmhouse dishes, Xiao Qian goes back to her room, leaving Yu Minglang to follow her, with joy in his heart, thinking that Qian Bao has forgiven him.

The door is closed, and only the sound of beating comes from inside. It’s a good thing Yu Minglang’s skin is thick and tough, or else any ordinary man would have long been beaten to the point of crying for mercy or getting angry.

He doesn’t dodge; he just stands straight, waiting for Xiao Qian’s furious punches and kicks. He only silently starts tidying up her belongings when she gets tired and sits on the bed fuming.

He makes the bed and organizes everything. After finishing all the tasks, he helps her wipe her face with a towel soaked in well water. A guilty person can only repent through practical actions.

Xiao Qian just watches with a cold eye. After he has finished, she points to the door.

Yu Minglang obeys the command immediately. Qian Bao wants him to leave, so he will.

As soon as he leaves the room, Xiao Qian slams the door shut without hesitation.

He stands in front of the closed door, looking at it silently. It takes less than three seconds for the door to open, and the tent is thrown out, accompanied by her icy words.

“Find a car to leave the mountain as soon as it’s daybreak. If you dare to play tricks, you can disappear forever.”

It seems that he must set up a tent in the courtyard tonight. Yu Minglang isn’t afraid of hardship, but when he looks at the closed door and the thrown luggage, he can’t help but think: Professor Liu’s carefully arranged experience for venting the right emotions on Pre-marriage Phobia has been ruined by him.

“Qian Bao.” He knocks on the door.

There is no sound from inside; she obviously hears him but doesn’t want to deal with him.

“I won’t make any excuses for myself. I know I went too far this time and shouldn’t have lied to you.”

Still silence inside. Yu Minglang knows that she is still angry.

Xiao Qian isn’t a woman who gets angry easily, but once she does, it’s difficult to appease her. She hates being lied to the most.

If taking a detour earlier only made her a little angry, then using a snake to deceive her and make her worry so much is not something that can be resolved with just a few words.

Especially since it’s not a typical woman involved here; it’s a woman with Pre-marriage Phobia who is still uncertain about marriage. What he has done might have made a petty woman want to break up.

Yu Minglang wants to tell Xiao Qian that he wasn’t planning to deceive her from the beginning with the snake incident.

The moment he first saw the snake, it was quickly swimming into the grass. He didn’t see its head, and there was only enough time to see if it was venomous or not by checking its head. He only thought of protecting Xiao Qian and treated it as a poisonous snake.

He wasn’t lying to Xiao Qian. Most venomous snakes are lazy and don’t bother to hide when they see people. On the other hand, non-venomous snakes usually slither away quickly at the sight of humans. The snake today was a pet snake, not alert around humans, so this misunderstanding happened by accident.

It was only when he caught the snake that he realized it wasn’t venomous. But he thought about how Professor Liu said to let Xiao Qian believe in him and feel his abilities in times of crisis, so he decided to go along with it.

His motive was good, but it only repulsed her more.

Now that Xiao Qian is disgusted with him, and he can’t explain that everything he has done is to help her get rid of her pre-marriage phobia, he can only take all her anger alone.

He doesn’t want Xiao Qian to know that he already knows about her pre-marriage phobia. If she finds out the purpose behind his actions, her mental pressure would only increase. He would rather find ways to coax her into calming down than let her mental pressure build up to the point of suffering. It doesn’t matter when they get married, but she can’t endure anymore emotional distress.

“Qian Bao, if you’re upset, just hit me and scold me. Don’t keep your feelings bottled up.” He suppresses all explanations and urges patiently.

The door suddenly opens, and Xiao Qian stands emotionless in front of him, saying coldly.

“I hate being lied to by others.”

“I was wrong.”

“Yu Minglang, I’ll say it again, I hate being lied to. Yet you do it over and over!” Her gaze grows even colder.

Yu Minglang clenches his teeth, holding back the truth he can’t tell.

“Fine, now get lost at the speed of light. I don’t want to see you now, and I don’t want to see you later!”

When Xiao Qian says this, she hopes he could, like usual, stick to her shamelessly and explain the truth. As long as he promises not to make the same mistake, she might not be so angry.

But he really leaves, quickly and obediently.

Xiao Qian kicks the door, cursing him as a wimp. He doesn’t listen when he should, and listens blindly when he shouldn’t!

As night falls, he sits in the tent in the courtyard, gazing at the stars, while she watches him from the room’s bed.

The honest old boss stands by the window, looking at the green tent in the yard, and asks his spouse, “What are those two city folks doing here? Why are they setting up a tent? Did the young couple have a fight?”

If it’s not a fight, why is the woman in the room, and the man setting up a tent in the courtyard?

But if it is a fight, it’s also unlikely, isn’t it? Except, why would they fight instead of enjoying their trip?

Yu Minglang, who has been kicked out by Xiao Qian, sits in the tent with a flashlight, pretending to read “Postpartum Care for Sows”, which he borrowed from the young boss Zhiming.

Where have they not met in life? He borrowed this book from the library when he first pursued Xiao Qian as a cover for his intentions.

Now, after being rejected and resented by Xiao Qian, he can’t help but feel sad when he sees this book again. Others have grown more likable as they’ve worked harder, so why has he been kicked out?

Being kicked out is one thing. What Yu Minglang fears most now is Xiao Qian’s indifferent expression. He thinks that had he walked a little slower just now, she might have said something even more heartless.

For example, we’re not suitable for each other; you’re not good enough for me as an idiotic man; let’s break up…

As soon as he imagines that scene, Yu Minglang feels an immense weight on his chest, as if several large stones are pressing down on him. How can he let go of the one he loves most?

But he has already angered Qian Bao so much; is there still a chance to salvage this?

Yu Minglang is undoubtedly an outstanding man. He was a top student in school, a standout in his old unit, and even more invincible after taking over the family business. In everyone else’s eyes, he is an impeccable, good man.

However, he seems to be a failure as a boyfriend. He has exhausted all his strength but has failed to untie her emotional knots, only making her angrier.

How can I warm you up? What can I use to save our marriage and love? Yu Minglang, staring at the starry sky, feels lost.
