I am chasing a rough man in the 80s
Chapter 848: The Heartbroken Street Urchin

Chapter 848: Chapter 848: The Heartbroken Street Urchin

The white figure swept her long legs, performed an inverted golden hook, and with a loud bang, Suizi heard a soccer ball being kicked towards a nearby tree.

The ball, kicked with great force, smashed directly into a small tree, causing it to shake violently back and forth.

Suizi was still in shock.

The white figure gently landed on the ground and elegantly extended a hand to Suizi.

"Are you okay?"

It was only after Suizi shook her head that she realized she had saved herself.

This white figure was none other than Jinnan.

If it hadn’t been for Jinnan suddenly jumping out and kicking the ball away, it would have hit Suizi right in the temple, which would have been very painful.

"It’s you..."

Suizi looked at Jinnan, who was wearing a different outfit today, not in her white cheongsam, but in a white form-fitting long dress, doing somersaults in it, and still managing to kick the ball away with high heels...

Suizi was struck by her allure.

At the same time, she noticed that a piece of Jinnan’s dress was torn.

"Your dress—"

"It’s fine, it’s just a piece of clothing. I can’t stand to see girls getting hurt in front of me, especially beautiful girls like flowers..."

Jinnan extended her hand, just about to shake hands with Suizi.

Yu Jingting rushed over like a gust of wind, wrapped his arms around Suizi, and very perfunctorily shook hands with Jinnan.

"Were you scared?" Yu Jingting asked, looking down at Suizi.

Suizi shook her head; she hadn’t even realized what had happened when Jinnan had already saved her.

When Jinnan saw Yu Jingting, a smile curved on her lips, recalling the incessant stories of "Me and My Wife" he’d told during the hours on the plane.

Several teenage boys ran over, panting.

"Did it hit any of you?" the leader of the boys asked. They had been playing soccer in the park, and the ball had gone astray.

Suizi immediately noticed Chen Tong among the group of boys.

When Chen Tong saw Suizi and her husband, he was stunned for a moment, then bit his lower lip anxiously; the ball that had flown over was the one he had kicked.

"Which stinking kid kicked that ball just now?" Yu Jingting glared furiously.

He had been too far from Suizi to react or run over in time.

If Jinnan hadn’t been there, his wife would have suffered a nasty injury.

The boys who were playing soccer backed away in unison when they saw how angry Yu Jingting was.

Leaving only a dazed Chen Tong standing still, unsure of what to do.

When Yu Jingting saw it was Chen Tong, he lost any desire to go over and kick him a few times.

He waved casually, signaling Chen Tong to scram.

The last time that brat had come into his house and tried to drug his bowl, Suizi had caught him red-handed. She had already been troubled enough by this rascal.

Yu Jingting didn’t even feel like hitting him; he just wanted the little rascal to stay away from his wife.

After all, Chen Tong was, in his eyes, already one foot into the Working School; it was only a matter of time.

Yu Jingting’s gesture made Chen Tong feel very uncomfortable, and what was even more distressing was that Sister Suizi wouldn’t even look at him.

In the eyes of Yu Jingting and his wife, he had become a worthless person, so inconsequential that even a glance was seen as disdainful, which hurt more than being hit.

Chen Tong turned and ran away, not even caring to play soccer anymore.

Seeing this, Suizi’s eyes dimmed and Yu Jingting’s hand rested on her shoulder.

"Don’t bother with him; that kid certainly isn’t going to fret. He’s probably run off to some deserted corner to grow mushrooms and scheme about how to trip people up."

"Then give Chen He a call later to make sure the kid’s gotten home," Suizi instructed before finally turning to the person beside her, Jinnan.

"I really do owe you a big thank you this time. If it weren’t for you, I might not have been able to stand here. If you’re free this afternoon, please allow my husband and me to host you and treat you to some authentic Beijing cuisine."

"???" Yu Jingting’s face was full of question marks. What was his wife up to now?

"Going to heaven?!"

Had he agreed? And she’s blatantly inviting? He suddenly felt like there was a green hat on his head...

Yu Jingting’s gaze swiftly shifted to Jinnan, finding her smile increasingly annoying—Did she have to smile so warmly at your wife as if you’re that familiar with her?

"Honey, that’s kind of putting someone on the spot. This ’big sister’ looks very busy, and she doesn’t even know you. How can she have the time to keep you company?"

In other words, if you know what’s good for you, leave now.

Blinking, Jinnan said with a smile to Suizi, "My Mandarin isn’t that good, I don’t quite understand what he’s saying—but wouldn’t it be inconvenient to let you pick up the tab?"

Little devils in Yu Jingting’s heart were about to spew flames.

Act, keep acting! When I refuse, she pretends not to understand. When my wife invites her to dine, she suddenly understands?

"Wife, reject her! Use that righteous spirit of yours to scare off this seemingly wicked and sly person who definitely doesn’t look like a good pie!" Yu Jingting’s inner self screamed desperately.

Suizi, who was usually in perfect sync with him, seemed to have missed his signals today, smiling in a way that seemed utterly in need of photosynthesis in Yu Jingting’s view.

"It’s no trouble at all. We were planning to dine out anyway; it’s just one more set of chopsticks. Friends are who you rely on when out and about. If you don’t mind, let’s go to Juxian Building—the dishes there are really authentic."

"Then I shall humbly accept your kind invitation," Jinnan said, picking up the hem of her dress with a beaming smile and curtsying like a lady.

Suizi returned the gesture, creating a scene that looked harmonious to others, but to Yu Jingting it was like a thorn in his side.

What was even weirder was that Yu Jingting could clearly feel that the other party was aware of his discontent and seemed to be teasing him on purpose, ignoring his irritation and chatting merrily with his wife!

Yu Jingting swallowed a mouthful of jealous vinegar as he saw the two little radishes, Little Luobo, running towards them, a plan forming in his mind.

It was time to unleash his trump card and have the kids come onstage to deal with the vague greenness atop his head!

Yu Jingting firmly believed that his two children possessed some inexplicable ability to judge people.

The adults whom the children liked were certainly big shots worth befriending.

The ones they disliked were definitely jinxed losers who needed to be kept at bay.

Yu Jingting’s eyes darted around, remembering what his old man said—that person throwing glances around and hitting on other men’s wives belonged to the Tianlong Society.

The Tianlong Society wasn’t a reputable place. If the kids met someone with such an aura, wouldn’t they cry their eyes out?

Then, he just had to play innocent beside his wife. Oh dear, look at them, the children don’t like her. I’m not being petty, but maybe we shouldn’t dine together today; let’s reschedule—for another time which would, essentially, be never again!

Yu Jingting increasingly felt this was a perfect plan and, with a sly smile of mischief, stood by waiting to watch the show unfold.

"Mommy!" Luoluo ran over first. When she saw there was a beautiful auntie next to her mother, she couldn’t help but look up.

"Wow, so tall!"

Luoluo found it astonishing that this beautiful auntie was even taller than her mother, who was already quite tall among women.

"Is this your child? So adorable, may I hold her?" Jinnan stooped to look at the two cute little beings and found them irresistibly adorable.

Beside her, the silent Bobo suddenly reached out his hands and said to Jinnan, "Hug hug!"

"I want one too!" Luoluo declared, not to be outdone.

This auntie’s glow was different from others; it was golden!

Click. Yu Jingting clutched his heart. What was that sound?

It was the sound of his cunning plan failing and his heart breaking!
