Chapter 998: Chapter 998: The Art of Drawing Circles (Thanks to Shu Yue’er+ Update)

Suizi got hooked on cursing, standing there silently reciting her well-practiced catalog of insults.

Director Qu could only see this "mute’s" lips moving faster and faster. Even though she couldn’t understand what was being said in the middle, the initial address looked suspiciously like "stupid x."

Suizi was having fun, but Yu Jingting wasn’t pleased. He tightened her collar for her and grabbed her hand.

"How come your hands are ice-cold? Did you want to freeze them just to make me worried sick?"

After saying that, he got so irritated by Suizi’s mischievous look that he bit down on her lips.

Director Qu’s eyes instantly widened.

Yu Jingting was someone who never cared about others’ thoughts. If he wanted to kiss, he kissed.

He looked down and was almost infuriated to death.

The woman in his arms was still pressed against him, yet she was staring intently at Director Qu behind him, as if she appreciated the latter’s expression.

Yu Jingting, livid, pried open the naughty woman’s mouth.

Director Qu’s eyes grew even wider—her eyeballs were about to pop out!

The couple opposite her were no longer merely exchanging pecks like dragonflies skimming water. Observing the intensity, they were already French kissing, weren’t they?

Director Qu began to have trouble breathing, her mind starting to go numb.

She was so angry that she simply watched Yu Jingting leave with Suizi in his arms, even forgetting to exchange pleasantries in her irritation.

The song "Tomorrow Will Be Better" was still playing in the car, and Yu Jingting casually pressed a button, bringing the overly sweet tune of "Honey Sweet" to fill the car.

The young couple exchanged a glance, and with this music in the background, they were in perfect harmony.

Director Qu clenched her fists out of fury, that "wretched, shameless wife" had kissed the man she fancied right before her eyes—was she doing this on purpose?

"Heh, so what if she’s good-looking? Isn’t she just a little mute?"

At that moment, Director Qu was both angry and thrilled. She figured that since Suizi was "disabled," it’d be just a matter of time before she would sleep with Yu Jingting.

Perhaps due to her strong desire for Yu Jingting, she didn’t check the bicycle seat before riding away.

Inside the car, Suizi took a handkerchief out of her pocket.

She carefully wiped her hand that had touched the bike seat.

Although the syrup that had been in the palm of her hand was rubbed off on Director Qu’s bike seat, the remaining stickiness made Suizi pout.

Too bad the candy she bought for the children was wasted—it had all been gifted to Director Qu...

"At least you have some sense of being a dutiful wife," Yu Jingting remarked as he watched Suizi wipe her hands and then saw her throw the empty candy box into the trash can, finally calming down.

Suizi had just driven the car up ahead, bought some candy, and turned back thinking of picking him up, when she had the pleasure of witnessing this whole spectacle.

Fan girls have dreams, but the tough guy is heartless.

Whether or not the syrup that smeared on the trousers could be washed off was one thing, but once it solidified, it could even form threads together with the fabric.

Remembering that Director Qu was also wearing white trousers, Suizi couldn’t help but laugh even more joyfully.

It was like she had gotten even for her hubby, who was overflowing with manly virtues.

"Damn, I really want to kick her into the moat," Yu Jingting cursed, his anger spreading onto Suizi as he complained to her:

"If it weren’t for you holding me back, I could have kicked her long ago."

Suizi patted him sympathetically.

Actually, Yu Jingting’s patience with Director Qu’s infatuation had run out long ago; it was only Suizi who had been stopping him from getting physical.

Although listening to his wife was a conviction carved deep into his bones, Yu Jingting was uncomfortable inside and couldn’t help but mutter a few curses:

"Being a boss is so useless. I can’t even beat up the trash that’s eyeing me from outside. It would be more satisfying to play with a slingshot and glass back in the village."

Unable to speak, Suizi just made a blowing kiss gesture to cheer him up.

This action was quite heartwarming, and Yu Jingting felt healed by it.

But the next second, Suizi made an infuriating move. She first yanked off her shawl, pretending to be loosening her clothing, and then wrote down two big characters on the paper.

Sacrifice

Put together, it read, "Sacrifice one’s appearance."

The anger Yu Jingting had just suppressed flared up again.

"You’re telling me to ’sacrifice my looks’?! What do you take me for, a boytoy from the House of Delightful Pleasure?"

Pfft! Suizi burst into silent laughter, hurriedly writing down two words on the paper: the top card, Big Tiegen!

If her man were to fall into the demimonde, he would be the top card, the absolute Courtesan!

With a mischievous smile, Suizi added two small characters above "Top Card Big Tiegen": Courtesan

Just a second before she had been giggling away, the next, she found her head ruthlessly flicked by him.

Yu Jingting wasn’t satisfied with just one flick, he wanted to give her another.

Suizi quickly pouted and begged for mercy, crossing out Courtesan, and Yu Jingting let out a snort, acknowledging her sensibility!

But then Suizi crossed out Courtesan and, with letters just as large, wrote on the side: Grassroot Leader

Yu Jingting got so mad he simply pulled the car over and grabbed her, biting down hard on her lips.

The open car window let the continuous sound of music flow, a sweet female voice tenderly singing, "Ah~in~dreams~"

That afternoon, news came from the Police Station.

The assailants who had ambushed Suizi had been identified.

They were local good-for-nothings.

Paid by someone else to block Suizi’s way, they swore up and down that their only task was to scare Suizi, never to do anything out of line.

As to who paid them, these hooligans said it was someone from out of town, a name they didn’t know; they hadn’t seen the person before.

The hooligans’ testimonies confirmed everything Yu Jingting had previously surmised. Zhang Zheng had racked his brains to stage this, aiming to play the hero saving the beauty.

Unfortunately, this ’beauty’ was too smart, having anticipated his anticipation.

Although the hooligans claimed they meant no harm to Suizi, the fact that they were found with knives and the harsh words heard during their arrest led to a verdict that wouldn’t be taken lightly.

They brought this trouble on themselves. Suizi had no intention to intervene, as reconciling was out of question. She believed they should be judged as they deserved, for who told them to earn such ill-gotten money?

As for Zhang Zheng, Mr. and Mrs. Suizi were in no hurry. He must be hiding, scared something bad might happen, perhaps racking his brains wondering if the Suizi couple had realized his involvement, anxious and on tenterhooks. This was precisely the effect Suizi wanted to create.

The enemy didn’t know their trump card, but she had already seen through everything about the enemy. The initiative was firmly in Mr. and Mrs. Suizi’s hands now, no need to rush, just waiting calmly to counteract at the right moment.

All was temporarily quiet on this front, and Yu Jingting found time to deal with Director Qu.

Director Qu’s chance encounter with Suizi on the street became the spark that ignited Yu Jingting’s fury.

Director Qu was genuinely smitten with Yu Jingting. She didn’t delve into his background but figured he was a young man easy to manipulate, spreading the word that without her approval, Yu Jingting wouldn’t be able to sell a single piece of equipment.

She was using business to coerce Yu Jingting.

It wasn’t just her own department she held back from purchasing; she also dissuaded others from buying.

If Yu Jingting wanted to use his father-in-law’s help, it would’ve been easy as saying a single sentence.

But he couldn’t swallow his pride.

No matter what, he was determined to pull this lovesick Director Qu down a peg on his own merit.

Suizi wouldn’t let him take direct action, but she didn’t forbid other means, merely changed the book by the pillow from the Dream of the Red Chamber to the Journey to the West.

Fearing Yu Jingting would miss the details, she even marked the key Chapters—the bookmark was a large fabric radish, and on its back, Suizi had hand-sewn the words Big Tiegen.

It was hard for Yu Jingting not to take notice.

He randomly flipped through a few pages and got the message.

This little wife of his was playing word puzzles with him, hinting at strategies through the story of Journey to the West, without saying it outright.

Fingering the bookmark, Yu Jingting realized this little miss had fully grasped the art of insinuation.
