Chapter 229: Chapter 229
"Wow, husband, you’re so handsome!" Zhao Ling’er exclaimed adoringly.
She rushed over and hugged Zhang Xiaohao.
"We’re in public, be mindful of the impact!" Zhang Xiaohao said, not amused.
"Hmph! As long as I’m happy, let them be envious!" Zhao Ling’er pouted.
"Let’s go," Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Okay," Zhao Ling’er nodded.
After being coaxed and pleaded with, Zhang Xiaohao dropped her off at Nanhua City’s First Middle School.
"Husband, just accompany me inside for a while, please!" Zhao Ling’er cooed, clinging to Zhang Xiaohao’s arm.
"Behave! Stop fussing, you still have classes. We have all the time in the world to be together," Zhang Xiaohao said.
"I don’t wanna! Besides, today is Sunday, there’s no school," Zhao Ling’er said.
"Wife, please, I really have something urgent to do, how about next time?" Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Hmph! If you dare not to accompany me, I’ll start shouting right now!" Zhao Ling’er threatened.
"Even daring to threaten me, your husband, you’re quite bold!" Zhang Xiaohao said.
Zhao Ling’er’s face immediately turned red.
"Zhang Xiaohao, I’ll say it again, are you going to accompany me or not?" Zhao Ling’er said.
"Is it really just about going inside?" Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Yeah, just accompany me inside and that’s it," Zhao Ling’er said proudly.
"Fine! But I’m telling you now, I can only stay for an hour at most. After an hour, I’m leaving," Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Yay! Husband, you’re the best," Zhao Ling’er said excitedly.
She jumped up, hugged Zhang Xiaohao’s neck, and planted a flurry of kisses on him.
After the kisses, she realized something was off.
Noticing the students passing by looked at her with strange eyes.
Zhao Ling’er got furious and shouted, "What are you looking at? Haven’t seen a beauty before? Get lost, all of you! Keep staring and I’ll gouge out your eyes."
She was the spitting image of a feisty little sister.
After her outburst, Zhao Ling’er realized she had been reckless.
"Husband, that wasn’t really me just now, you must believe me!" Zhao Ling’er said.
"Heh," Zhang Xiaohao shrugged nonchalantly.
"Really, I’m actually very ladylike, you must believe me," Zhao Ling’er said.
"I believe you!" Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Yay, I knew you would believe me, husband," Zhao Ling’er said happily.
"The looks from others have already told you," Zhang Xiaohao said, twisting the knife.

Zhao Ling’er felt a sweetness in her chest, as if she were about to cough up a mouthful of old blood.
"Let’s go," Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Okay," Zhao Ling’er replied.
Taking Zhang Xiaohao with her, she headed into the campus.
"Why are you taking me to the basketball court?" Zhang Xiaohao asked, puzzled.
"Hehe, it’s a secret!" Zhao Ling’er said with a mysterious smile.
She took out a pink Orange brand cell phone, stepped away from Zhang Xiaohao, and said a few words into the phone—it looked like she was giving orders.
A moment later, Zhao Ling’er hung up the phone.
"Husband, I’m your wife, right?" Zhao Ling’er said, hugging Zhang Xiaohao’s arm and pretending to look pitiful.
"Yes!" Zhang Xiaohao nodded.
"If someone bullies me, will you stand up for me?" Zhao Ling’er continued to act spoiled.
"Hehe," Zhang Xiaohao gave a secretive smile but didn’t answer.
"Husband, just tell me! If someone bullies me later, will you stand up for me?" Zhao Ling’er pressed on.
"No," Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Husband, have you abandoned me?" Zhao Ling’er said, her teeth clenched.
"Cough! Cough! Don’t talk nonsense," Zhang Xiaohao said, clearly irritated.
"I don’t care! If you don’t stand up for me later, I’m going to yell out loud now that you’ve seduced and abandoned me!"
"You really want to yell?" Zhang Xiaohao asked, pinching her chin.
"Yep," Zhao Ling’er nodded vigorously.
"Then go ahead and yell! I’m a grown man; it doesn’t bother me," Zhang Xiaohao said seriously.
"You jerk! Is your heart made of stone? How can you be so heartless to your own wife?" Zhao Ling’er exclaimed angrily.
"It’s not that I’m heartless; you’re simply not my wife, okay!" Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Hmph! I don’t care, in name, I’m already your wife. If someone bullies me later and you don’t help me, I’ll just stick to you! Wherever you go, I will follow, even to your home! If others ask why I do this, I will tell them you’ve seduced and then abandoned me!" Zhao Ling’er said, biting her lip fiercely.
"You little thing! Dare to threaten me, huh?" Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Yo! Isn’t this our Miss Ling’er? What are you doing hiding here at the basketball court by yourself?" A tough-looking girl in a short black skirt, showing off her legs, came over with a gang exuding hostility.
Scuffle, scuffle, scuffle...
A flurry of urgent footsteps followed.
Three girls ran over from another direction.
"Ling’er, are you okay?"
"I’m fine! Why did you three show up so late?" Zhao Ling’er reproached.
"Zhao Ling’er, cut out this silly posturing! Let me tell you, if you’re scared, just spit it out now. You see these long legs of mine? Just do a lap around here and promise from now on not to mess with me again. Call me ’sister’ whenever you see me, and we’ll call it even for today," the tough girl said arrogantly.
"Psh! Liang Xiaoling, you think I’m afraid of you? Go take a good look in the mirror, are you worthy?" Zhao Ling’er scoffed.
"Hmph! You insolent girl, you dare to insult me!" Liang Xiaoling sneered.
"You’re not worthy!" Zhao Ling’er declared defiantly.
"Damn girl, I really shouldn’t be stooping to your level! Where are your people?" Liang Xiaoling said.
"Here! This is my boyfriend, and the help I asked for!" Zhao Ling’er pointed to Zhang Xiaohao, grinning proudly.
"Psh! Just him? Some shabby old dude, are you sure he’s up for it? Let’s get one thing clear: don’t go back on your word after you lose the game! Or else don’t blame me for not being nice," Liang Xiaoling said coldly.
