Free Web NovelChapter 190: Chapter 190: The Legal Husband Loves to Beat Up the Homewrecker
The moment the message was sent, its status changed from "unread" to "read."
Baili Jing’s lips curved into a smirk. He placed a hand on the small of Jiang Qingli’s back, pulling her into his embrace.
He was about to toss his terminal aside and continue, but a new message arrived—
[Intimate? With that ugly, bald tail?]
Baili Jing nearly let out a cold laugh.
Last night, he had waited outside the hospital room until dawn.
When Jiang Youchen came out, his clothes were disheveled and the back of his ears were bright red, as if something had happened to him.
He had stepped forward to question him, only to be verbally provoked.
Unable to hold back, the two of them had fought.
They had fought countless times since childhood, always somewhere Jiang Qingli couldn’t see.
They only had a temporary truce after Jiang Qingli’s body was possessed by a foreign soul and Jiang Youchen was driven to the Lower District.
It had been too long since their last fight. Both were a cut above their former selves, and they fought with brutal intensity.
Jiang Youchen’s Dragon Claws whistled through the air, every strike aimed at his face and tail.
But compared to him, Jiang Youchen hadn’t fared much better. A large patch of Dragon Scales on his back was now bare.
Jiang Youchen didn’t have a female master, so he certainly couldn’t find a female doctor for Spiritual Healing. The wounds from his Superpower would be slow to heal, which would be enough to keep him quiet for a while.
But more than that, Baili Jing was concerned about whether his Xiao Qing Mei had remembered anything during her morning at the Jiang Family estate.
’Would she have seen the crafts we made together? Our photos? The gifts I gave her?’
’Would she, just for a moment, remember our innocent, sweet, and secret past...’
"Why are you so distracted?"
The girl in his arms suddenly looked up and nipped Baili Jing’s lip, a little dissatisfied.
"Just thinking about something." Baili Jing’s lips curved. He opened his mouth to speak, but sidestepped the past. "Baby, I prepared a gift. How about we open it together tonight?"
Jiang Qingli’s fingers stiffened. "It’s not... more of that stuff you buy from those kinds of websites, is it?"
Baili Jing caressed the girl’s flushed ear and asked, "What kind?"
Jiang Qingli glared at him. "Don’t play dumb. You know, whips and chains!"
Ever since she found out Baili Jing was the one who bought that box of handcuffs and other things, Jiang Qingli now felt a bit of a chill whenever he said the word "gift."
It wasn’t that she disliked it.
’It was just... he always coaxes me into doing more and more outrageous things. I feel like a scholar sucked dry by a fox spirit. I’m so busy lately, where would I find the energy...’
Just as she was about to protest vehemently, Baili Jing looked at her for a few seconds, then suddenly collapsed onto her shoulder, laughing happily as if something had tickled his funny bone.
It was rare for Jiang Qingli to hear such a cheerful laugh from him. She found herself inexplicably infected by it and chuckled along for a moment before realizing something was wrong. She pinched his cheek. "Hey, are you making fun of me?"
"I just think you’re adorable, baby."
Baili Jing lowered his head to kiss her fingers, the corners of his eyes crinkling. His gaze was sultry. "I’d love to spend a wonderful night with you too, baby, but today is Wednesday. It’s not my day."
Sometimes, he really did act like the head of the harem, reminding her, the Family Head, to share the love equally.
Jiang Qingli stroked his ear, feeling both pleased and a little jealous. "I don’t think I’ve ever really seen you get jealous."
"I get jealous too." Baili Jing lowered his gaze, toying with her fingers. "But I am your legal husband, after all. I will do my best to tolerate it."
Jiang Qingli found his words a bit strange.
’It’s almost like he’s saying if there was a mistress, he’d kill her...’
She tilted her head. "Since you’re so conscientious, should I grant you the title of ’head wife’?"
"It would be my honor."
Baili Jing held her, inhaling her scent, and suddenly thought that this was good, too.
’Even if she never gets her memories back, it’s okay.’
’We can create more wonderful memories together.’

「Melt Star Association.」
Jiang Qingli pushed open the meeting room door to find a group of people huddled around a table, arguing frantically about something.
Hearing the noise, the clamoring crowd looked up.
Qiao Lan stood up from the head seat to give it to Jiang Qingli. "President."
Tang Ran quickly stood up as well, calling out, "President, are you all right?"
Some other members who had a good impression of Jiang Qingli also chimed in with their concerns.
Jiang Qingli politely assured them she was fine and asked, "What were you all talking about just now?"
At her question, Qiao Lan facepalmed.
"Last night, when you fell in, you grabbed Bai Yiyi. But then Bai Yiyi grabbed the person next to her, and that person grabbed someone else..."
As Qiao Lan explained, her mouth twitched as if she was dumbfounded by their stupidity. "Long story short, three members of the Student Council and two members of the Melt Star Association fell into the lake."
"That’s not even the most important part! The worst thing is that one of them is an unmated male. His heat was coming, so he apparently took a whole cocktail of suppressants. After falling into the lake, he caught a cold, which triggered a whole host of symptoms, and now he’s hospitalized! And the Student Council is blaming us for it!" freewebnovel.cσ๓
Tang Ran slammed her hand on the table in frustration and cursed, "For fuck’s sake! Males are so damn dramatic!"
"Those fatherless morons! I think they’re just trying to stir up trouble! Why aren’t they talking about how Bai Yiyi dragged our president down with her!"
Another member pursed their lips. "Bai Yiyi is too clever for that. She got herself hospitalized. I heard she started crying the moment she woke up this morning, and she just posted some teary-eyed update on social media, making it seem like *she’s* the one who was dragged in."
"It was just lake water, sure, but she’s an S-rank. How could her constitution be that weak? Something’s not right."
After listening for a while, Jiang Qingli had a pretty good idea of the situation.
Xie Guanqi was already displeased with the Melt Star Association. Now that there was an incident, even if he knew it was Bai Yiyi’s fault, he would use it to make a fuss and deliberately cause trouble for Qin Shu, who was away on a mission in the Lower District.
Jiang Qingli thought for a moment, then said, "First, before this blows up, pull the surveillance footage to clarify what happened. Then, after the meeting, Tang Ran and I will go to the hospital to visit the ones who were admitted."
Tang Ran clicked her tongue. "Even if it’s just for show, it still disgusts me."
Qiao Lan spoke up slowly. "Then I’ll go with the president."
Jiang Qingli smiled at her. "Thanks, then."
Qiao Lan paused, then averted her gaze. "Mhm."
After the meeting, Jiang Qingli and Qiao Lan went to the hospital together. fгeewebnovёl.com
Tang Ran went with them but didn’t go inside. She sat by the entrance, saying she’d send anyone from the Student Council packing if she saw them.
Jiang Qingli and Qiao Lan entered the elevator one after the other.
After pressing the button for their floor, Qiao Lan suddenly spoke. "President, may I ask you some questions?"
"Do you want to ask about Que Feiling and me?" Jiang Qingli said.
"Yes. You should know about the history between the Que family and mine," Qiao Lan said. "I’ve been wanting to talk to you about it."
Jiang Qingli said, "Alright. We’ll find a place to eat after we leave."
Qiao Lan looked at her reflection in the elevator mirror and nodded slowly.
The male from the Student Council was from an ordinary background, but Xie Guanqi had arranged for both him and Bai Yiyi to have luxury rooms on the top floor, showing how much importance he placed on them.
The elevator doors opened, and the two of them stepped out one after the other.
Qiao Lan was about to discuss their approach with Jiang Qingli when she suddenly saw the girl freeze.
She looked up and saw the back of a tall male turning a corner.
The male’s back was ramrod straight, his posture impeccable, and he exuded an oppressive aura, as if he had been in the military.
’But this is the Royal Hospital. Military personnel records are all at the military hospital, so why would he be here?’
Just as the question arose in her mind, she saw Bai Yiyi, dressed in a long white dress and clutching her chest, following his every step.
From where they stood, they could even hear Bai Yiyi’s weak voice.
"Brother Youchen..."
