Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 537 What a weirdo

The fox insisted on putting the breakfast in her mouth, helped her insert the straw, and then placed it on the bedside table. "This is from your favorite breakfast shop. Eat more."

Ding Le couldn't refuse, so she took a couple of bites with little appetite. Suddenly, a gentle breeze blew in from the balcony, carrying a faint fragrance...

and many more!

Ding Le suddenly moved closer to the fox. The fox's scent was so familiar. The fox never wore perfume, but this scent... seemed familiar.

She suddenly remembered that she had smelled this scent on Lucy before; it was a very strong perfume.

That's right, it's Lucy!

The fox didn't come back all night, and now he smells like Lucy's perfume. Could it be... that the fox actually spent the night with Lucy? And then, did they also...?

Ding Le couldn't hold back any longer and suddenly exclaimed, "Were you with Lucy last night?"

As soon as she said those words, she regretted it. She had already decided to give up, so why ask so clearly and make things awkward for everyone?

The fox's face darkened, and his gaze towards Ding Le suddenly turned cold and sharp. "How did you know?"

There was no need to ask anymore; the fox's expression said it all. Yet, this realization was like a dagger plunged deep into Ding Le's heart.

The fox actually... really...

Tears blurred her vision. She glared at the fox through clenched teeth, her words choked with sobs, "Fox, how could you... how could you be with Lucy? She's Jian Ning's girlfriend... Jian Ning abandoned his wife for her, you... you..."

In the end, tears welled up uncontrollably.

But she didn't want to lose face in front of the fox, so she turned her head and forcefully wiped away the tears on her face. But the tears seemed to be working against her, and she couldn't wipe them away no matter what she did. Even her breathing felt like a sharp blade, churning inside her body.

She was in so much pain, so much pain. But she didn't criticize the fox's stance; after all, she was nobody to him. Even if the fox really wanted to be with Lucy, it had nothing to do with her. Not just the fox, but also Lucy and Jane—they had nothing to do with her. What did she have to be angry about?

Well, now that she knows the truth, it's time for her to give up.

The fox handed her a tissue with a considerate and gentle gesture, which caused Ding Le's heart to ache again. She gripped the tissue tightly, breathing heavily to gradually calm herself down. "Thank you, but the chili peppers are too spicy."

The fox stared at the pancake in her hand; it didn't have any chili in it. However, he didn't call her out on it, but instead pulled out a few more tissues for her to wipe her tears.

Ding Le was taken aback at first, but quickly dodged away, saying, "I'll do it myself."

The fox looked at her and suddenly asked, "Are you heartbroken?"

"None of your business!" What did he mean by that? Was he trying to mock her? He didn't appreciate her when she was young, and now that he's lost her, he's suffering...

"If it weren't for heartache, why would I cry?"

"I told you, the chili peppers were too spicy!"

The fox chuckled, "There's no chili in it." Seeing that Ding Le was about to explode, he said calmly, "Perhaps I know why Lucy made Jian Ning abandon his wife."

What's the reason? It's just men's inherent flaws: they're fickle and can't resist beautiful women.

She curled her lip in disdain. Originally, the fox wasn't this kind of person, but now it seemed he was quite the opposite. She was truly disappointed and heartbroken.

Meeting her tear-reddened eyes, the fox's breath hitched. He suddenly leaned closer to her and whispered, "Because very few women have the same masterful skill Lucy has in undressing."

"Fox, you scoundrel!" Ding Le's eyes widened as he met the fox's mocking gaze. A wave of nausea washed over him, and he slapped the fox across the face.

However, no matter how fast she was, she couldn't catch up with the fox. He grabbed her arm and nibbled at her fingers one by one in an ambiguous way, a wicked smile on his face. "When will you learn from me? I don't mind being your model at all. And I promise I'll be very dedicated and fulfill all your requests."

"Fox, have you had enough!" Ding Le couldn't take it anymore and forcefully broke free from his arm. "You adulterous woman! I never thought you could be so shameless. I must have been blind. Let go and get out of here!" She roared, ready to fight the fox.

However, the fox easily deflected her attack, holding her tightly in his arms, and said, "Ding Le, no matter what you think of me, we're here for work. Since we have a mission, you can't just leave on your own. You must stay here until the commander agrees!"

Ding Le's eyes widened. She hadn't told anyone she wanted to move, so how did the fox know? She glared at him, her eyes filled with rage, as if she wanted to tear him to pieces!

The fox she knew was always carefree and jovial; even when he showed a bit of gentleness, he would quickly revert to his true colors. But today, her perception of him was completely overturned.

He is a wolf in disguise, insidious, shameless, despicable and hateful!

She had seen Lucy and the fox together, and it was clear that the woman was very interested in the fox; she had even worried that the fox might be deceived. But now it seemed that the fox was eager to be deceived and was completely willing to be with Lucy.

She didn't know why the fox had suddenly changed like this, nor did she know why he had done it, but all of that was no longer relevant to her.

She glared at him: "I'll ask you one last time, why are you with Lucy? Do you really like her that much?"

The fox's eyes flashed, and it released its grip on her, looking directly at her and saying, "We've known each other for so long, what do you think?"

Ding Le's heart skipped a beat. It was precisely because they'd been together for so long that she felt he wasn't that kind of person. But now, all the signs indicated that he really was with Lucy. Could all of this really be just her imagination?

She shook her head: "I feel like I don't recognize you anymore, maybe I never knew you at all."

She stood before the fox, head bowed, her voice low and tinged with sorrow. Seeing her like this, the fox felt a pang of guilt, and opened his mouth but couldn't find the words.

After a long while, Ding Le gave him a deep look, then walked out. The fox didn't chase after her; he just stared blankly in the direction she disappeared, lost in thought.

At the hospital, the doctor said that Bai Ningxuan had a strong will to live. However, it seemed that in Tong Shili's eyes, it wasn't a matter of having a strong will to live at all; he was practically an indestructible superman.

Yesterday, his life hung in the balance; he almost died. But today, all his vital signs are normal. This relieved Tong Shili, but also surprised her.

Bai Ningxuan is truly an oddball.

She replaced the fresh flowers beside his bed and quietly stayed by his side. She felt that life was truly wondrous. She had loved Yi Fanxi deeply, only to be told that they were siblings, a bond of kinship that made her sever all ties. She thought she would never fall in love again, and even if she had feelings for Bai Ningxuan, it wouldn't be romantic love.

Once her emotions overwhelmed her self-control, she chose to run far away. But before she could escape, Bai Ningxuan used his life to forcefully declare his love for her. It all happened so suddenly and quickly, catching her completely off guard. Yet, the emotions she had been suppressing deep within her could no longer be contained; from the moment she heard that Bai Ningxuan's fate was unknown, they had become uncontrollable.

She knew she had lost. With Bai Ningxuan's insistence, her feelings were laid bare in broad daylight, leaving her no choice but to accept it and no longer try to escape the topic.

It's true what they say about fate being cruel; if it weren't for this accident, she would be abroad by now. Sometimes she can't help but wonder if her mother even knows her situation. Seeing J-Master going to such lengths to kill her, can that woman really remain indifferent?

She really wanted to ask her if she had no feelings for her at all, or even wished her dead.

Tong Shili took a deep breath, fighting back tears. If even her own mother felt her existence was superfluous, what reason did she have to live?

Looking down at Bai Ningxuan lying on the bed, she never wanted to drag anyone into this dangerous war, but it seemed that the more she didn't want to do it, the more people she dragged in.

She couldn't help but reach out and stroke Bai Ningxuan's face. He was really handsome, refined and elegant, but sometimes he had a touch of devilish charm that made people lose control of themselves without anyone noticing, surrendering their hearts and minds to him.

She was someone he resisted, someone he longed to escape to, because the feeling of being controlled was unbearable. However, this man had a way of having her completely under his thumb, making it impossible for her to escape.

"Bai Ningxuan..." All her resistance was no match for the terror of his complete disappearance from her side. Now she only hoped that he would be safe and sound. Even if he got up and bullied her in a way that made her want to beat him up, she would be happy to accept it.

She took another deep breath, her eyes red-rimmed, and she felt like crying.

Suddenly, her phone vibrated, and she froze when she saw the caller ID.

J-Master!

Terrified and frightened, she hesitated for a long time before answering the phone, only to have it disconnected. Immediately afterward, a text message arrived, and her face changed drastically. She clenched her fists tightly, panicked and unsure what to do. She knew perfectly well the meaning behind the text message: if she didn't obey, both she and Bai Ningxuan, lying there, would die.

Her face grew paler and paler. After what seemed like an eternity, another phone rang. Her heart skipped a beat, and she frantically picked up her phone. When she finally saw the caller ID, she breathed a heavy sigh of relief and leaned back weakly.

"Mr. Li, is there anything I can help you with?" Tong Shili asked in a low voice, afraid of disturbing Bai Ningxuan's rest.

"Shili, where are you now? Is it convenient for you to talk?" Boss Li chuckled, seemingly a little embarrassed.

Tong Shili frowned. Ever since Yu Fangfei's incident, it seemed that everyone in the industry thought she was the leaker, and they all called her wanting to buy her first-hand information about Fan Hua Design, but she coldly refused them all.

This would cause her to receive another call from this person, unconsciously leading to negative associations. Even if she failed her mission and left Fan Hua Design, after so many years in this industry, she still possessed the most basic professional ethics.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Li, no matter how much money you offer, I will not sell the internal information of Fan Hua Design. Moreover, I don't plan to work in this industry anymore. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."

A domineering first move that seizes the initiative, giving the other party no chance to speak.

"No, no, wait a minute, Shili, I'm not talking about this, I have something else to do," Mr. Li said hurriedly when he saw that she was about to hang up.

Tong Shili raised an eyebrow: "I'm very busy. If you have other things to say, please keep it short."
