Chapter 168: You Are My Wife
Chapter 168: You Are My Wife
The voice in the receiver had completely lost the daytime cold tranquility, undergoing a 180-degree transformation.
Game over.
The big shot was turning into a child.
Bai Lu, ignoring much, quickly changed her tone: "How long until you can come back?"
There was a pause on the other end of the phone before a soft voice came: "I don't know. What's the matter?"
More words.
Bai Lu weakly supported her forehead: "Is Wang Hao there? Let Wang Hao answer the phone."
"Why let Wang Hao answer?" The child sounded angry, with a tone cold and hard. "I'm right here. Why let Wang Hao answer the phone? Are you my wife, or Wang Hao's wife? Are you still my Lu Lu?"
"Yes, yes, I'm your Lu Lu."
Bai Lu couldn't stand the three-year-old throwing a tantrum, so she explained in a gentle voice: "Chen Chunli's stomach is a bit uncomfortable. She came to my house and wanted to talk to Wang Hao. Let Wang Hao answer the phone, and I'll give the phone to Chen Chunli."
The child on the other end of the phone seemed to understand, shouted in some direction, "Come out."
Bai Lu thought it was calling Wang Hao.
Little did she know that in the next second, there was a sound of a cabinet being hit in the receiver, and a painful cry as heavy objects fell.
This...
Could it be that the counter attendant, scared by Xiao Cheng, hid under the counter, rushed out after hearing Xiao Cheng's call, and accidentally hit the cabinet and fell?
Really pitiful.
In the song and dance hall behind the counter, Xiao Cheng stared at the figure struggling to get up with knees covered, his brows furrowed.
"You, go call Wang Hao."
"Okay, Cheng Ge, I'll go right away." The counter guy rushed out of the counter, quickly looking for someone in the private room.
He stumbled and fell again at the corner, groaning in pain but quickly got up and continued running.
As if there was a ghost chasing him.
The counter guy didn't understand why Xiao Cheng had such extreme expressions. His tone on the phone was unbelievably friendly, but when he spoke to them, his tone was terrifying, like the king of hell coming to take lives on earth.
But at least he had his life to run away.
His companion left at the counter wasn't so lucky.
Indeed, very unfortunate... The counter guy, trembling, handed a cigarette to Xiao Cheng, and Xiao Cheng reached out to take it.
But the phone suddenly slipped.
Xiao Cheng's left hand instantly clenched, and the right hand that had just reached out slapped the cigarette away.
The cold and fierce gaze of his deep, dark eyes suddenly came over, "Are you looking for trouble?"
The counter guy was instantly shrouded in a sense of impending death. He wanted to explain, but his throat felt like it was being choked by some invisible force, and he couldn't make a sound.
Xiao Cheng must be angry. It's over.
Although he didn't know why handing over a cigarette was a mistake, the demon in front of him was obviously angry enough to beat someone.
Just when the counter guy thought he was doomed, the phone in Xiao Cheng's hand suddenly played a heavenly voice.
"Ah Cheng?"
Save me! It's that girl!
The girl who could make Xiao Cheng soften his tone and speak!
The counter guy desperately sought help in his heart, making desperate wishes for the girl on the other end of the phone to say a few more words.
Please summon the demon away quickly.
Xiao Cheng, who was treated as a demon, heard the girl's call, and his murderous gaze instantly withdrew.
"Lulu, I'm here."
The counter guy's jaw dropped in shock.
The next second, his brain also seemed to drop in shock, because Xiao Cheng, he, he, he, he, actually smiled!
Moreover, he used an especially gentle voice to speak into the phone, "The private room is a bit far from the counter, and Wang Hao hasn't arrived yet. Can you wait a bit? Are you having dinner?"
Bai Lu: "..."
"Do you want to check the time now?"
Xiao Cheng's cold and stern gaze swept over.
The counter guy immediately looked up at the clock on the wall and quietly reported the time, "Nine forty-five."
It wasn't that the counter guy wanted to eavesdrop, but the phones in this era didn't have good sound insulation. Whether it was the girl's voice on the phone or the terrifying voice of the king of hell outside the phone, the counter guy could hear it all clearly. To pretend not to hear, he had to cover his ears.
But if he covered his ears, and Xiao Cheng had something to say to him, he wouldn't hear it, and that would be even worse.
So, he could only brace himself and continue listening.
Listening to Xiao Cheng answering with that incredibly gentle voice, "Nine forty-five."
It's already nine forty-six!
The counter guy dared not think but dared not say.
The next second, the girl on the phone said what he wanted to say but didn't dare to say, "You know it's already nine forty-five. When are you coming back?"
Bold!
Xiao Cheng not only wasn't angry, but he also said, "Soon."
The girl asked again, "How soon is soon?"
Xiao Cheng looked up at the clock on the back wall of the counter, silent for a moment, seemingly calculating the time.
After a moment.
Wang Hao came out.
Whether Xiao Cheng had something to say or not, anyway, the counter guy saw that Xiao Cheng handed the phone to Wang Hao, who had also drunk a bit, and started talking with a scent of alcohol.
Wang Hao shouted, "Sis-in-law."
The counter guy finally understood why Xiao Cheng had two different faces, but before he could think more, a voice that echoed through the hall came from the phone—
"Wang Hao! Where the hell are you going! It's so late, and you're not back yet. Are you planning to sleep on the streets!"
The earth-shattering roar not only stunned the counter guy and his companion who had just returned but also made Hu Biao, who had followed them out, pause for a moment.
Seemingly intoxicated Wang Hao also seemed stunned by the shouting.
The only one who didn't react was Xiao Cheng. Not only did Xiao Cheng not react, but he also frowned displeasedly.
Obviously, he didn't like this voice.
Not to mention that Xiao Cheng didn't like it, the counter guys didn't like it either. They preferred the gentle girl's voice just now.
Where did that girl go?
Why did the Eastern Lion's roar suddenly burst out?
Chen Chunli's voice not only shook the song and dance hall, but even Bai Lu, Xiao Wei, and He Yulan in Xiao Cheng's house were also momentarily stunned.
Especially Xiao Wei, who was shocked by Chen Chunli's calm waiting for the phone call and the earth-shattering change when she roared into the phone. It was enough to crush a fly between her eyebrows.
Bai Lu didn't expect that after Chen Chunli entered, waiting quietly for the call, it wasn't a sudden change, but she had been accumulating anger, waiting to bombard the phone.
After He Yulan reacted, she quickly stepped forward to comfort Chen Chunli, "Don't be angry, be careful with your body..."
"Care about what!" Chen Chunli pushed away He Yulan's hand: "Your son doesn't care about his child, what are you caring about!"
Bai Lu noticed that Chen Chunli's emotions were a bit agitated, whether it was due to the strong pregnancy reaction or something else.
In her angrily glaring eyes, there was indeed fierceness and ruthlessness, but also a faint, floating anxiety and unease.
It's just not very obvious, but Bai Lu had taken a course in micro-expressions and could see a few points.
This late at night, a pregnant woman about to give birth, too much emotional fluctuation was not a good sign.
Bai Lu poured her a glass of warm water, "Drink some water, talk calmly, Wang Hao will be back soon."
Chen Chunli felt annoyed and wanted to scold someone. When she saw it was Bai Lu, she remembered what Bai Lu had said last time.
The words were stuck in her throat, and it took a while before she spoke with a stiff tone, "Call Wang Hao back."
Bai Lu took the phone and asked, "Wang Hao?"
A clear and pleasant voice sounded, instantly breaking the ice on the other end of the phone, leaving everyone stunned.
All the drunken individuals became sober.
Wang Hao was no exception; he shouted loudly, "Sister-in-law," indicating that he was listening to the call.
The melodious voice on the phone spoke again, "Have you finished eating? Come back after you're done."
As soon as Wang Hao heard the word "you guys," the phone was snatched by Xiao Cheng. "Lulu."
Bai Lu didn't know how drunk Xiao Cheng was, but the urgent matter was to quickly call Wang Hao back.
It would be even better if Xiao Cheng could be brought back too.
Bai Lu cleared her throat and said softly, "Acheng, I miss you. Come back soon."
The man on the other end of the phone brightened his eyes, the drunken haze instantly clearing. "I'll be right back!"
"Bring Wang Hao with you," Bai Lu instructed.
"Got it."
Xiao Cheng hung up the phone and dragged Wang Hao away.
Wang Hao was originally leaning on the counter, suddenly pulled by Xiao Cheng. His limbs tangled, and he nearly fell head over heels, but fortunately, he was pulled up by Xiao Cheng halfway through the fall.
Luckily, he didn't have an intimate encounter with the smooth floor.
After walking a few steps, they were intercepted.
Supported by his little brother, Hu Biao, who was swaying, walked up with a friendly tone, "Why go home? Let's continue drinking."
Xiao Cheng frowned and avoided the hand reaching out to pat his shoulder. He said indifferently, "Next time, Lulu."
Hu Biao clicked his tongue, "Why go home? Today, our brothers finally gather together. Let's continue drinking. What do you want to drink? We have beautiful ladies here. No need to go home; I'll immediately call a group for you."
Hu Biao used to be suppressed by Xiao Cheng in everything, and today, as the host, he wanted to regain the face he had lost in front of Xiao Cheng.
He raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
A smart little brother immediately went to bring the ladies.
Hu Biao blocked Xiao Cheng's way with a contemptuous smile, "Xiao Cheng, you can't be serious. Just women, not such an important thing."
"Have you forgotten the saying in our circle? Women are like clothes, brothers are like hands and feet. When we go out to play, who cares about women? There are all kinds of beautiful ladies here, much more fun than the yellow-faced wife who cooks and cleans at home. Can your wife bring you such beautiful ladies..."
"Bang!"
Xiao Cheng punched Hu Biao, who flew away.
The convulsing body slid down from behind the counter. The phone handset that hadn't fallen off the table was swept off, and the long line fell to the ground, straightening out as it did.
The entire hall fell into a deadly silence.
The next second, the sound of tables, chairs, and stools being smashed and beaten echoed.
"Acheng!"
The anxious voice of the girl on the phone was covered by the shattering sound of the ashtray and the broken bottle.
There were no shouts or screams; when men fought, they went straight to action, using everything as weapons.
As if the flesh and blood didn't feel pain, they fell down and got up, determined to settle the score.
Even the smell of blood had begun to spread in the air, and the clean and bright floor turned red.
There was no retreat at all.
Seeing that the two guys behind the counter were in a bad situation, they had long hidden under the counter and used the intercom to call security.
The guys behind the counter didn't forget that there was a magic weapon in the phone that could control demons. Taking the risk of being beaten, they crawled out along the edge of the counter.
Quickly grabbing the fallen phone from the ground, he opened his mouth and called for help, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law! Are you there?"
Bai Lu was about to hang up the phone when she heard this and stopped immediately, "I'm here. Where are Xiao Cheng and Wang Hao?"
Chen Chunli was still watching on the side. She didn't want to ask too explicitly to avoid any unnecessary accidents.
At the same time, she subtly created distance, seemingly inadvertently covering the handset with her hand to prevent the sound from spreading too far.
Just as she took two steps away, she heard a cry for help that seemed to come from the sky: "Sister-in-law, come and save me! Cheng ge and Biao ge are fighting! Wang Hao and Biao ge's little brothers are also fighting. The scene is in chaos. Everything, including tables, chairs, lamps, and liquor cabinets, has been smashed by them! The ashtray has also been smashed. Ten security guards can't control them. Sister-in-law, come and save me. If it continues like this, someone will get killed!"
Bai Lu asked, "Address?"
"Pingcheng Sky Supreme Nightclub! Bang... Ah! The phone fell. Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, can you hear me?"
"You must come and save me..."
With a click, the phone was hung up and returned to its original position.
Bai Lu turned her head and met the anxious faces of Chen Chunli and He Yulan. Chen Chunli was still supporting her big belly, her palms visibly sweating, and the corners of her clothes were wet.
There were also slight tremors in her figure.
Bai Lu's expressionless face instantly turned into a relaxed smile, "You don't need to worry. Wang Hao and Xiao Cheng are fine. They just drank too much and don't recognize the way home."
"I'm going to pick them up now. You guys sit at home and wait; I'll bring them back soon."
Chen Chunli's emotions were unstable, not suitable for frequent movement, and accidents were prone to occur.
It was best to sit quietly at home and wait.
But after Chen Chunli listened to Bai Lu's explanation, she didn't believe it, "I heard the sound of something falling and breaking on the ground. Is Wang Hao fighting again outside?"
It had to be said that the sixth sense of a pregnant woman was accurate.
However, the emotional control of Bai Lu, a psychological master, was more stable in emergencies, and her mind was clearer. "Wang Hao got drunk and accidentally knocked over a table lamp when he hung up the phone. The waiter just quoted me 300 yuan, saying if it wasn't paid, he would leave the washing."
Chen Chunli's attention was instantly diverted by the money, "A 300-yuan table lamp! Is Wang Hao fighting while drunk again!"
"Such a big table lamp that can't even be seen on the table, hasn't earned a day's worth of money, and is now compensated in full!"
Chen Chunli sat down with a thud, and even her molars made a sound, but her anxious face was replaced by anger.
Bai Lu could perceive that she had let out a sigh of relief.
Turning her head to He Yulan, who also seemed relieved, she said, "You guys sit for a while; I'll go pick up Wang Hao and Xiao Cheng. Don't worry; I brought money, and I won't let Wang Hao wash dishes."
